At meeting of the farmers, mer-
chants and business men, called by
President Paul NJ. Potts Of the La
Div. Southern Cotton Association, Mr.
Paul NJ. Potts was elected chairman
and John H. Cockerham was elected
secretary.
A full discussion by various persons
! was had over the general aGric jltura
conditions and of the cotton situation
in particular.
The following resolution was Offered
and unanimously carried: That 1t l:
the sense of this meeting that the at
tention of Governor l.. E. Hall be
called to the fact of the tendency of 6
bill before the Congress of the United
States looking to betterment OF farm
| finances, and that the said bill viii
likely be passed and will demand State
guarantee of farm titles before low
rate loans will be made on farm lands;
that whereas this is matter of vital
| Importance to the agricultural welfare
of this and all other agricultural sec
tons, that this meeting forward a copy
of these proceedings to the said Gov.
L. E. Hall with the request that he
embody in his call for the coming extra
session Of the Legislature of the State
of Louisiana provision for the said
matter of guaranteeing of land titles
BY the State anu the adoption of some
modern method of accomplishing this
purpose, which is most likely the Tor
rens. System; and further that the
Governor be reminded that the funds of
the United States Postal Savings Bank
Trust Funds of Insurance companies
and of the National Banks are loaned
out at low rate of interest and will
be available for farm loans only on con-
dition that such action by the States is
taken.
On motion duly seconded the under
signed resolutions committee was cleo
ted and after reporting the following
resolutions, they We're unanimously
adopted:
That whereas the financial conditions
of this section and of the entire cotton
growing sections are bad due to the
over production of cotton; that food
and feedstuffs are very high and badly
needed by all of our farmers:
Therefore be it resolved by the peo
pie of Natchitoches Parish in mass
meeting assembled:
That the cotton acreage for 1915 be
reduced fully one half of that planted
in 1914; and that the said land taken
out of cotton be planted in corn, oats and
other products that are needed to make
the farm self sustaining.
Be it further resolved that diversif-
cation be preached and practiced at
home and in schools to the grown peo-
pie and to the children of the whole
Parish.
Be it further reselv ed that this action
be made permanent; and not temporary
as has been in the past.
