UFA TAKEN BY ENEMY
AND ALLIES FALL BACK

oMSK, Jan. 25. (By the Associated

Cossacks are reported to be worn out
by constant pressure from superior
forces of Bolshevists, Negotiations for
the dispatch of allied contingerts to
Orenburg are now going on, but have
not as vet been brought to n successful
conclusion. Tho capture of OrenburE
would give the BolsheVists control OF

EXCHANGES TO CONFER
ON COTTON REDUCTION

Following closely upon the action OF
the cotton factors of Memphis, who
went on record Friday as opposing a
big cotton crop. members OF the Cot
ton exchange will hold mass meeting
Monday afternoon at 2:30 to take def
mite action which will bring about a
reduction in the next cotton acreage
and a corresponding increase in food
stuffs. The danger of an overproduc-
ton OF cotton and the necessity Of the
South feeding itself will be stressed by
various speakers.
Determined and well-directed action
is proposed to limit the production of
cotton in 1919 Only disaster to the
crop this year prevented a production
of $4,000 900 bales 1t Is cited that a
10000, ,000-ba crop at rs cents Is more
profitable than $4,000 900 bale crop at
20 cents. It is probable that some ac-
ton toward limiting the credit of a
planter for an all-cotton crop will he
taken and corresponding extension OF
credit will be made to the farmer who
plans diversifcation.
Growing of foodstuffs during the past
year, while 1t showed a marked gain,
was not sufficient to make the farmer
self sustaining. 1t Is proposed to con-
duct q campaign which will have this
object as its aim.
Recent slumps in the price Of cotton
have directed the attention OF cotton
factors and others to the urgent need
OF limiting the cotton crop and in
creasing the food production.
