 wheat upon such land this fall, and the corn and pea ground was worth about $500 or $500 per acre this winter for pastur- age and the farmer could hard ly afford to turn it under for an experiment with wheat.
 Gustave Jones made a good talk, which he emphasized with several appropriate stories. He said the South had never shown its ability to handle the God given monopoly of cotton rais- ing, and that the people would be almost justified in following the plan of the Kentucky tobac- co growers, through organiza- tion to compel the reduction of acreage.
 About the only legal way to secure this end, would be through revenue acts of the va- rfous legislatures of the South ern states, taxing the lands a. bove 60 per cent of present acre. Iage planted to cotton.
 In closing, he urged the pray CTS of all our people in response to the Presidents proclamation of a day of prayer for the ces- sation of the present war. Judge o. w. Scarborough ex- pressed the idea that just as the present war was one of sacrifice, so it must be to us in that we must subordinate temporary ad- vantage to future welfare, and that it is our duty to commence diversifcation now regardless of initial hardships and losses. Ex-Senator John H. Keei stat ed that he had the best crop of cotton that he ever had and proposed to hold his cotton. He paid an eloquent tribute to the Anglo-SaXon and expressed the opinion that the war would be over in 60 days and Germany thoroughly whipped and a great republic established. With the war over, there would be no cheap.cotton here and the pres ent situation would be solved. 1 Relative to the cottonseed sit uation, upon which someone ask ed information, Gustave Jones and Marvin Hare expressed the belief that seed should be bring ing far more than $14 per ton, the former quoting cotton oil at 45 cents per gallon and meal l at S28 per ton. With the by- products selling high, both ex- pressed the view that seed should be bringing more, the eff feet of the war being to raise this product, rather than to re- duce it.
 A committee was appointed, consisting of Marvin Hare, C. B. Coe and c. R. Pate, to confer with. the Prosecuting Attorney and Attorney General, seeking an inquiry as to whether the oil mill companies had not limited competition and fixed the price of seed.
 After expressing the sense of the meeting in resolutions unan- imously adopted, the meeting was adjourned to convene again in sixty days.

FARMERS URGED
 TO HOLD COTTON
And Cut Cotton Average Fifty Per Cent by Planting Wheat and Other Grains-Buy
 a Bale Also Urged.

A large and representative au- dience of Jackson county farm CTS responded to the call of Judge c. B. Coe for a county convention Saturday heard the cotton situation and remedial suggestions discussed and a. .dopted resolutions calling for a general holding of cotton, the reduction of cotton acreage 50 per cent, the planting of wheat and other grains, the investiga- tion of the cotton seed situation to determine why prices are not better and the enlistment of all citizens able to do so in the buy a bale movement.
 By courtesy of Mrs. Hooking, the opera house was offered for the meeting, which was called to order by Judge c. B. Coe and John c. Henderson and w. N. Dunaway elected chairman and secretary, respectively.
 Judge Coe, in announcing the purpose of the meeting, told of the present conditions, the pros- pect of a 15,00O,OOO bale crop, Ithe European war in progress, cutting off foreign demand for cotton and showing that with an increased home and Japanese demand, there would still be a. bout 5,000,000 bale surplus, in the face of which it would be suicidal to raise another big crop. The reduction of next years crop was as vital as the holding of the present crop and all citizens should join in the holding movement.
 J. w. Howard said that he was having the tenants on his farm
 < and hold their cotton, ad- vancing them money for the picking. Together he 'and his men would hold their crop and every landlord should help his renters that way.
 John c. Henderson stated that
 all his land had been rented, bu- to help his tenants he was ac- cepting cotton at 10 cents per pound for all rents. Next year, he proposed to SOW much of his land in grasses, raising stock and reduce his cotton acreage at least 40 per cent.
 1 c. R. Pate read a well prepared paper, showing the crisis we are passing and how it should lead to crop diversifcation as the only permanent solution of the problem. The planting of whes' was recommended and shown to be practical.
 Marvin Hare expressed more anxiety for the condition of the country next year than for the current year. He questioned the practicability of wheat rais- ing because the cotton could not be gathered in time for sowing
