Moving to Cut Cotton Crop.

speciat Despatch TO THE NEW YORK HERATp D.
MEMPHIS, Dec. 26.-There Is so much
unmarketable cotton In the South that
the cotton convention held here recently
asked Congress to have n census taken
to get the figures. The big thing done
at the convention was to pledge the en-
tire South to produce but one-hah the
cotton that was raised this year. Under
this movement no farmer shall plant to
cotton more than one-third OF his lands
under actual cultivation.
These restrictions will be enforced
through credit restrictions and by denial
Of credit to any farmer. planter or land
owner who refuses to join the movement
At the same time the convention laid out
an organization TO reach into every vot-
ing or school district In the cotton coun-
try. Food and feed will be planted TO
the land on which cotton was raised.
The convention looked for help In the
foreign markets when IL passed resoiu-
tion favorlng any and all safe and sound
plans looking to the extension or long
credits to foreign customers.
