one not connected actively with the
Texas Cotton Association as to the
outlook in that State. Chairman J.
Skottowe Wannamaker wrote letter
to w. ". Woodson. president of the
Texas Bankers Association, asking
that he write him the situation in
that State.
Mr. Woodson in replying said: 81
am surprised TO note that the report
has come to you that Texas is not
backing the proposition. We have
had a campaign all over the State
and I believe that the acreage reduc-
ton in Texas will be fully S3 1-3 per
cent. Through this section, which is
in the cotton belt, it will be more
! than 33 Is per cent. because IN the
fall Of the year the largest acreage
ever known in this county was planted
in oats and wheat with prospect
now Of :, fine crop. Mr.. Woodson
lives at Waco"
The association also gave out let
ter from Commissioner Of Agricul-
ture Garner Of Mississippi replying to
the reports that Mississippi is not re-
ducing very heavily. Mr.. Garner
said in his letter:
''I will say that Mississippi is do
ing her full duty in regard to cot
ton acreage reduction and I hope that
South Carolina, together with the
other States, will make as good a
showing when the census bureau
makes its report on the cotton acre

Georgia is sure to reduce SO 1-3 per
