Joining in a movement for general
REDUCTION Of 1919 acreage. In Texas
the move has taken the form Of
pledge to reduce acreage to two
thirds of that of 1918. The state ag-
ricultural department is emphasiz-
ing the benefits of planting grain
on the acreage thus saved.
The government crop report,
placed last years Texas production
at 2.580.000 bales. Cotton was
around IS cents a pound at the
close of the picking season. but
many growers and some speculat-
ors felt it would reach 40 cents and
did not sell. Prices fell, however,
with the signing of the armistice
and since then have been wavering
between 81 and 25 cents.
Bankers who loaned money to

While cotton at Il to Is cents is
higher than before the war. grow
ers say production cost is so much
higher that they will lose money at
% cents a pound.
Last years government reports
placed the Texas acreage at II .235,-

bankers and agrictulturists feel
that prices can be held to a point
that will bring a profit and also
