FARMERS WARNED
AGAINST INCREASE
OF COTTON AREA

WASHINGTON, March IA
warning to southern farmers not to
plant q big cotton acreage in an
ticipation of the opening Of the Ger
man-Austrian market was sounded
today by Colonel Clarence Ousley,
assistant secretary of the depart
ment of agriculture.
The advice of the department is
for southern farmers to make sure
of a plentiful food and feed CROP
saia Ousley. Food and feed prices
are reasonably certain to be high
"a plentiful food and feed crop
automatically will reduce the cotton
acreage below that OF last year"
a big cotton crop means a drop
in the market and low prices 10
the southern farmer, Mr.. Ousley
said, while a crop of 100000 bales
about the same as the last three
years-means cotton prices that are
high.
He estimates the German-Austrian
market will not be more than g.
100000 bales for the first year aft
err the market opens. This is con-
Sidarably below the German-Aus-
trian consumption of pre-war years.
In 1911 the central powers bought
100000 bales; in 1912, 100000
Oet4SoI III AOIo' AJOOOJOOV OS~AS0s HAANA
in 1911, 100000 bales.
Although the central powers are
practically without any cotton at
all, the department of agriculture
has data that indicates their market
is most unlikely to assume pre-war
proportions Immediately. Germany
lost 100000 spindles when she lost
Alsace-Lorraine. Many of her cot
ton manufacturing plants were con-
verified to other work and months
will be required to turn them back
TO cotton. Further, it is reasonable
TO suppose that Germany's financial
condition will hold down her raw
cotton purchases.
According to the agriculture de-
partment figures. cotton acreage
of about 100000 acres will be
ideal" this year With normal
weather, this acreage should pro-
duce about 100000 bales. The
department figures the carry-over
August 1 Will be from 100000 to
100000 bales. This, with a 12,O00,-
000-bale crop, would give 100000
bales. Sale of 100000 bales to
Germany and 100000 to the rest
of the world would leave a carry
over Of about 100000 bales.
This carry-over the department
characterizeS as safe"

scribed by the federal horticultural
board. Sterilization MUST be done
under the supervision of an author

origin. who must certify to it. This
provision is amendatory to Regula-
ton 3 of the rules and regulations
supplemental to the notice. of quar-
antine, which required that such

brought to the attention of the
board, however, that dry earth is
the only suitable. material known
for packing these bulbs, and experts
Of the department of agriculture ad-
