conference was unanimous. The
resolution was put to a vote with
out further discussion. The low
est minimum clause was no long,
er needed, but it was not stricken
out.
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE
CONFERENCE.
The resolutions adopted We'd
nesday will be circulated through
out the south in pamphlet form.
1t follows:
Whereas, the boil weevil, wilt
and other pests and diseases have
for many years been destructive
to the cotton crop in large por-
tons of the cotton producing
States, and their continuous
spread now menaces the whole
area devoted to the cultivation of
cotton, and
Whereas. owing to the dimin-
ished demand for cotton and the
increased requirements of food
stuffs caused by the European
war, the planting of cotton for
the year 1915 can be largely re-
duced or entirely eliminated with
out imposing undue hardships on
the cotton growers or extraordi-
nary burdens on cotton consum-
ers, and
Whereas, there is imperative
necessity for early drastic action
to destroy the boil weevil and
other cotton pests, and
Whereas, great benefits will
be derived by the substitution of
other crops for cotton during the
year 1915, thereby reducing the
cost of living, bringing to farm
ers the advantages and benefits
of crop diversifcation and restor-
ing worn out lands to their form
er state of fertility, besides

olution for entire elimination, and
a standing vote was taken. Ev-
cry delegate rose to his feet and
commenced shouting and stamp
ing.
As soon as the excitement SUBJ
sided E. R. Gore, manager of the
Interstate Trade Division of the
Chicago Chamber of Commerce,
asked for the floor and quietly
announced that his organization
will contribute $500 to the work
of propagation for total elimina-
ton. This was received by more
cheering. A vote of thanks was
Immediately offered.
President Lovejoy, of the Man.
haitian Life Insurance Company,
followed the Chicago offer imme-
diately with a contribution of
500. He explained that his COM
pany has a million and a half dol
lars invested in Texas alone and
other large interests in the rest
of the south, and is vitality inter-
ested in the welfare of the cotton
planter.
Other subscriptions pledged
were: E. J. Glenny, for the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange, 500;

greatly enhancing the value of
the cotton crop of 1914 by estab-
fishing an equilibrium between
supply and demand.
Therefore be it resolved,
That it is the sense of this con-
vention that it would be greatly
to the interest of the cotton
growers, as we'll as of every COM
mercial, industrial and agricultu-
raj interest not only of the South.
but of the whole country, that
the planting of cotton be entire
ly eliminated or reduced to the
minimum during the year 1915.
BE it further resolved, That
for this purpose the growers of
cotton, brokers, merchants and
other allied interests in each
county, including the Farmers
Union and the Southern Cotton
Association, be requested to meet
and organize at once (if no such
organization exists in order to
give immediate consideration to
the foregoing resolution and es-
pecially for the purpose of sign
ing binding pledges to reduce
their respective planting of cot
ton so per cent or more, or to
pledge themselves to omit the
planting thereof entirely for the
year 1915.
BE it further resolved, That
in order to insure that no cotton
be planted, or not more than so
per cent during the year 1915,
the said association and organi-
cations request the governors of
the various cotton states to con-
vene the legislatures for the pur-
pose of passing uniform laws

ton, or of reducing the acreage

all future damage from boil vice.
wills and other cotton pests as
well as to accomplish the many
desirable results above enumer-
ated.
BE it further resolved, That
this convention recommend and
advise all cotton producers, bank
ers and merchants to cooperate
in withholding from sale as much
cotton as possible until it can be
sold at a price that will give a
fair return to the producer.
BE it further resolved, That
these resolutions, as well as pro-
ceedings of all meetings of as
sociations and organizations held
in connection Herewith be given
the widest publicity by press of
the whole country"
Until midnight Tuesday the
conference delegates argued the
relative merits of the elimination
plan, espoused by Mississippi and
and the so per cent reduction
plan championed by Texas. A
few hours before there was a
majority report representing the
former and a minority report on
the latter. Heated debates re-
suited and the proposition went
over to the Wednesday morning
session.
Ex-Governor Noel, of Mississ-
ippi, presented the report of the
majority of the resolution COM
mittee in the form Of two resolu-
tons.
The first resolved: That the

& Blume, $40.
The resolution passed by the
conference was prepared by a
committee early Wednesday, be-
fore the conference met for the
day. At that time Texas was
holding out for a half-acreage re-
duction, and in order to placate
the delegates from the Lone Star
State a clause providing as a last
resort for a reduction to a mini
mum was added. The committee
decided to recommend a fight for
total elimination first and in the
event of failure for the greatest
possible reduction in acreage.
After two or three strong ar
guments for the total elimination
plan the leader of the Texas dele
cation announced that Texas was
wavering. A few minutes later
the announcement came that
Texas would in all probability
take action within ten days.
Texas, the delegates said, may
not let South Carolina be the first
State to pass a total elimination
law.
Texas was won over and the

governors of all cotton growing
states are urgently requested to
convene the legislatures of their
States in special session to enact
legislation in pursuance of their
undoubted police power prohibit
ing the growing of cotton in 1915
in all of the cotton states, and to
authorize state boards to repre-
sent their respective States in
making such legislation effective,
and thus destroying cotton pests,
and also producing by such elimi-
nation of the crop of 1915 a pro-
ftable demand for the crop of
1914"
Buy-a-bale plans were COM
mended in the second resolution
as was the Texas plan of reduc-
ton on in Individual pledges,
through school district organiza-
ton. H. A. O'Neal, of Texas,
presented the minority report.
Agreement was reached Tues
day on one proposition the bond
ed warehouse plan. A resolution
was presented by w. H. Seymour,
of Alabama, whose able presen-
tation of his subject won a unan-
imous affirmative vote.
WAREHOUSE CAPACITY IN LOU
ISIANA.
E. o. Bruner, State Commits
sioner of Agriculture, reported
to the conference on warehouse
capacity in Louisiana. He was
requested by the August confer
ence to do this. He said:
There are in the thirty-four
parishes reporting, sixty-nine
presses and warehouses, etc.,

1915 was endorsed unanimously
Wednesday by the Southern Cot
ton Association in session in New
Orleans. Delegates were pres
emit from every leading cotton
State. In Difference to the Texas
delegates who had held out for a
80 per cent reduction. a lowest
minimum reduction clause was
included in the resolution, but
after a speech by John L. Nc
Laurin, formerly United States
Senator of South Carolina, Texas
went over to the so-called Mis-
sissippi plan for no cotton next
year.
Within five minutes after the
resolution had been voted fund
of $500 was subscribed for total
elimination propagation through
out the cotton belt. The Chicago
Chamber of Commerce led the
list with a subscription of $500.
The Manhattan Life Insurance
Company, of New York, sub
scribed 500 through Thomas E.
Lovejoy, its president, who at
tended the conference.
w. H. O'Neil, a leader of the
Texas delegation. who had op-
posed the Mississippi plan, an
nounced to the conference that
Texas will be heard from within
ten days, and that South Caro-
lima may not have the honor of
being the first State to pass cot
ton planting prohibition laws.
On October 10 Mr.. O'Neil said
meetings will be held all over
Texas, and petitions will be cir
culated for elimination.
In urging the adoption of elimi-
nation Senator McLaurin told the
conference that he made a hur-
ried trip here from his South
Carolina home because he sees
the wisdom of the Mississippi
plan. He is going back to foster
an elimination bill in the South
Carolina legislature next week.
Two days were spent in delib-
erations before the conference
came to an agreement. Three
sessions were held Tuesday and
the discussions lasted until mid
night. From the opening speech
everybody was in favor of crop
elimination if some means to
make it effective could be devils
ed. Texas did not think this
possible, and was convinced that
a half-acreage reduction would
be feasible and effective.
RIGHT OF STATE TO PASS LAWS
UPHELD.
Mississippi, led by Ex-Gover-
nor Walter Clark and Senator
Hebron, stood firmly for State
laws prohibiting all cotton plant
ing until 1916. The conference
was told that this can be done
under the police powers reserved
TO each State in the Union.

SMOOTH FAkIRS

Sunday morning a nan and wife
and two children came in from the
and asked the city authorities to
them transportation to st.
Paul, or as far in that direction as pos
sible. However, after being asked to
explain a few things they quietly dis
appeared. 1t seems that they are
fakirs and are travelling about the
country on what they car beg. A short
time ago the Twin Cities dailies had a
dispatch from Belle PLANE, Mimi, tell
ing of their appearance there and they
stated that they were On the way from
st. Paul to Pipestone, where they had
relatives and could get help. The good
people there passed them along to the
next town and 1t appears they visited
Sioux Falls, Huron, Arlington, and
other towns, still in search of their
elusive relatives. When they got here
their relatives were in st. Paul and
were very anxious to see them, but
Brookings failed to fall for their story.
The man claimed to be a minister and
said that they were on the way to st.

THE WELSH

The concert by the Gwent Welsh
Singers Monday evening proved a
very enjoyable affair and was attended
by a good audience.
The chorus, in ensemble work, came
up to our highest expectations and Is
deserving of the highest praise. Cap
turing their audience with their first
number, March of the Men of Har-
lech," their splendid work met with ex-
IRENE favor throughout the program.
Among the chorus numbers rendered
We're Gounod's Soldiers Chorus" from
Faust" Strauss blue Danube
Waltzes," Sextette from Lucia" the
"Hallelujah Chorus" "Old Black Joe,"
and two Welsh airs. In the two num-
bers last mentioned they found oppor-
tunity to display wonderful skill in
dynamic effects and shadings.
An element of humor attended the
rendition of the duet and trio arising
from the physical contrast apparent in
the singers. 1t is safe to say that
without this feature the numbers, from
their splendid rendition, would have
been received with equal favor.
OF the soloists the most pleasing
we're j. L. Bebb, Ben Davies, and H.
M. Astle, t%enors; and Taranlais Hop
kins, basso, all displaying splendid
voices and considerable training. Es-
pecially worthy of mention were Me
lisande in the Wood" by Mr.. Astle,
the group by Mr.. Davies and Will o.
the Wisp" by Mr.. Hopkins. Our one
disappointment of the evening was in
the refusal of an encore from Mr..
Davies.
Perhaps the most pleasing number
of the evening was the Welsh National
Anthem, a number filed with the most
satisfying harmonies and melody.
Companies of this calibre are fast
learning. that Brookings never fails to
greet with enthusiasm anything must
cal that is really worth while and it is
significant that as a natural result of
the umerou musical attractions
which are continually being offered,
the ranks of the music lovers are
rapidly increasing in Bookings.

NO ROAD WORK

The county commissioners held an
adjourned session at the court house
Tuesday and yesterday. The question
of using the auto tax fund for road
work was brought up and voted down.
MI. Jarvis, the Brookings commits
sioner, and Mr.. Halvorson from the
west side, voted favorably, for which
they are to be commended, but they
were overruled by the other three
members. This fund is derived from
the special tax On auto owners and the
law provides that it must be used for
road work only. Those who have to
pay the tax feel that it is an injustice,
but they would take their medicine a
little more cheerfully If the money was
used for the improvement of the roads
instead of being allowed to lie idle in
the treasury, and there is talk of bring
ing suit to the money, mas.
much as it is not used as the law in
tended. We believe that practically
every auto owner in the county favors
using this money for road work, this
being true as far as the city is con.
cerned, as an almost unanimous peti.
ton was presented to Mr.. Jarvis, and
1t is too bad that the wishes of the
many should be set aside by the will of
three men.

ROAD MAY GO SOUTHWEST

Mr.. ough, representative of the Luce
Line Company, who had charge of the
sale of stock in Brookings and vicinity,
is in Brookings again this week. His
visit this time is for the purpose of
investigating the possibilities of ex-
tending the Electric Short Line road
from Brookings southwest to Madison.
The company had moi expected to take
up this proposition, at least, not at
this time, but the people of Madison
have been SO enthusiastic and so in
sistent that the line be extended
that Mr.. Ough is here to look the
ground I've 1t is up to the people be.
tween here and Madison and if they
show the proper interest arrangements
will be made to extend the line just as
Dor as it is built into Brookings. II
they do not the matter will be dropped,
for tn" present al least and maybe per-
manently, as the people directly south
of here are velv anxious for the road
to go to Sioux Falls.
The road will be a fine thing for the
people to the southwest, as 1t would
give them a direct route to the Twin
Cities, and would run through a Sec
ton where there are no railroads.
~Brookings, perhaps, would rather see
the road go to Sioux Falls, but we
would not be at all displeased to see it
go southwest. Such a line would give
us communications with Sioux Falls
and Sioux City, by way Of the South
Dakota Central and eventually with
Mitchell, as it Is not probable that the
line will stop at Madison. Everything
depends On the attitude of people be-
tween here and Madison, and if they
want the line as badly as the people
Of the latter town it will be a cinch.
