Reduction in aarnwell.

Barnwell.-Barnwell county farmers
have pledged 20 cut 5.117 acres frcm
their 1918 cotton acreage. according
to figures made public by the tabulnt-
ing committee of the local cotton re-
duction organization. The tabulation
is based on pledges received up To
Saturday. March 10, and shows that
whereas 16101 acres were devoted tn
the fieecy staple last year. only 10ss4
acres are to be planted in 1919. This
is reduction OF about 32 per cent on
the total acreage reported tn date.
On this showing, it is now confidently
expected that the reduction viii not
fall below the minimum OF 33 IS per
cent. with strong probability Of this
figure being exceeded.
