COTTON CRUSHERS
ARE ALARMED
AT PROSPECT
Fear Increase In Food Crops May Cut
Short Planting Of Fleecy
Staple.

Oklahoma City, Okla. April 20
The movement on the part OF the gov
ernment and business men who are
following the advice of the govern
ment to increase the food crops OF Ok
lahoma with the view TO making the
state self supporting, seems to have
given occasion to the cotton seed
crushers OF some alarm lest the cotton
crop be unduly Curtailed.
The meeting of the executive com.
mittee Of the crushers here Saturday,
after the usual secret session, was
opened to the county and district ag-
ricultural extension agents, who had
been invited to attend, and the pro.
ceedings hinged upon the proper crop
ping Of lands to meet the demand for
more food supplies. The crushers later
had the agents as their guests at a
banquet and there the object of the
crushers and their desire 10 cooper
ate in the food propaganda was fur
ther elucidated by a number OF meth
uds.
A statement in the local press that
Nn9 lHb'llbtu " UOlNltI llt NOllOu
crop followed this meeting OF the
crushers This statement showed the
feeding value Of cotton seed products
and cotton seed oil and how cotton
seed is in competition with hogs in the
production OF lard and its substitutes.
The general opinion OF the crushers
is that the acreage OF cotton in the
cotton belt ought to be about % per
cent Of the total acreage cultivated
or all the land owner can cultivate
and care for well.
lnasmuch as the agents and other
protagonists Of the movement to in
crease the production OF food crops
are all agreed that the cotton acreage
should not be reduced very much, il
any, and that the proper area to be
planted by each farmer is the amount
he can care for well with his owr
force, there does not seem to be much
