REDUCED ACREAGE
 BY LAW IS URGED
AT COTTON CONFERENCE
MEETING ALSO FAVORS FED ERAL AID TO HANDLE PRES
 ENT SITUATION.

Little Rock, Sept. 29.-The cotton conference Tuesday, called by Gov Hays, was attended by about four hundred delegates, from all the cotton counties of the state.
 The following resolution was adopt ed and directed to be sent to the gov ernors of each of the cotton growing states:
 We favor Federal aid in the cot ton situation and ask the congress now in session to grant 1t.
 "We favor reduction of cotton acreage by law and recommend that the governor of this state confer with the governors of other cotton states and agree upon a bill to reduce the cotton acreage.
 That all governors agree to call a special session of their state legisla- lures and enact such law at once"
 A resolution was also adopted to the effect that "the slogan of this meet ing shall be Arkansas will feed itself in 1915.'"
 
 Its farmers will raise food for their families and for their live stock, and will plant such other products as may give fair promise of reasonable sale;
 That it will plant cotton less and other things more.
 That the bankers, merchants, and the planters themselves will CO., operate to hold and market the pres ent crop to the best advantage of the present holders of the cotton.
 "That it is the sense of this meet ing that reduction of fifty per cent of the acreage planted in cotton will be necessary to maintain fair price against over supply at home, and un- der consumption abroad; that the mln- mum reduction in cotton acreage with anyone is 25 per cent.
 The Buy-a-Bale movement is ap- proved, farmers are advised to plant winter oats, campaign of crop d. versification is recommended, and the Organization of companies for the es- tablishment of cotton mills IS recon mended, with a view of taking ad- vantage of the probable improvement in the American cotton goods market on account of the curtailment of the European mills and the opening of new markets for the United States.
