REDUCE CREDITsJCUT ACREAGE

AS has happened ottlmeS before, the South IS tace TO tace
with a problem seriously affecting its economic welfare. 1t has
to do with the price If cotton. its chief source Of wealth. Be-
cause an unusually large amount OF the staple Is now being car
rnd unsold, especially by the producer, the matter is more Vi
tally important than it has ever been.
Without touching upon the prospects for ~d1Spostng OF the
rest Of the crop Of l9lS1Q, together with what was earned over
from the season previous. the question presents itself how pest
to help maintain prices at as high a level as possible and what
to do about another crop.
1t is the consensus Of opinion among the enlightened and
l~evel-headed observers that one OF the effective steps will be
to provide against too large a crop for the coming season, and
to at the same time increase the Souths ability to make a sat
isfactorv profit on it in case there is a lower level OF values,
Those who have given the matter serious study think that
increasing home production of food and feed crops, thereby
lessening the dependence Of the cotton grower on other sec,
tons for these necessities, will be effective. 1t is not required
by this view that there be any big effort toward growing these
crops on a large scale for commercial purposes, but only to the
extent that they will not have to be paying out cash tor things
that can be grown at home, thereby saving transportation and
middlemen's costs.
There has been progress toward such within the past few
years, and this is expected to continue,
The matter Of reducing acreage is a more difficult matter
than the other, according to people who have given thought to
the problem. Various methods have been suggested, most of
gone by. Their weakness lies generally in the lack OF proper
appreciation of conditions and the absence OF proper restrlc-
tons on credits on the part of the banker, the factor and the
merchant.
There seemingly is a strong sentiment now to have acre
age reduced. 1t will probably be a wise move, although nothing
radical is required, for when shipping conditions get normal
which will probably be during the next lew months there WIN
nc doubt be a greatly enlarged demand for cotton, and a short
crop next fall would not be altogether desirable IRON a purely
selfish economic standpoint,
But if there is a genuine desire to have a reduction in acre
age from the 100000 planted last spring, let those who have
control Of credits to the farmers require when they are extended
that some fewer acres be devoted to cotton and more to corn,
peas, hay and the various other crops so easily and saisfac-
torily grown in the South. The serious weakness in the sys-
tenn of cotton farming-that of doing it largely on credit-may
thus be used effectively in bringing help to a situation which
now appears so serious
