START MACHINERY
 ID ORGANIZE IN
 COTTON COUNTIES
seek to Cooperate With and Ask Cooperation of Every Agency Devoted to Cot
 ton Regulation

Memphis, December 9.-(SpeciaL )--The executive committee appointed Wednes- day just before the close of the south wide conference of bankers, merchants and cotton growers today started the machinery to perfect an organization ID every county and in every district where cotton is grown.
 In initiating it's work, the committee gave out the following statement:
 This committee seeks to cooperate with, and asks the cooperation of, every agency or organization devoted to regulating the cotton supply to demand for consumption. It seeks the same hearty cooperation of other organizations that h has been accorded by, and which it nccords to, the American Cotton asso- siation.
 Tn this connection 1t wishes to ex- press a reminder that in many states, by proclamation of the governors thereof, December Ii has been designated acreage ceduction day.
 There closed yesterday the most re- variable meeting we ever saw held in he city of Memphis. The delegates to yhe cotton convention remained through put two days. They were constant in lheir attention; they were tremendously tn earnest; they were representative of the best thought in the cotton belt.
 EVERY STATE REPRESENTED
 There were delegates from every cot ton-producing state in the south. The speakers held themselves strictly to the issue There was little oratory and lit tie gush. There was an eloquence of facts It was not crowd before which the spread-eagle orator could make prog resS. The men were serious, intelligent and knew what they wanted. They were alert and quick to grasp the point. The organization, carried to completeness in all of it's details, can function
 Cotton acreage next year must be re- duced or the produced cotton will fetch little or nothing on the market.
 Under the resolutions, the objective is to produce one-half as much as was grown this year There is pledge that each man will grow one-third of his cul- tivated land in cotton This proportion will produce sufficient cotton to meet the demands of the consumer, will enable us
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-12-10

to grow food and feed so that we will have something to go on.
 Some men feared yesterday that there would be such surplus of food and feed grown there would be no demand for t.
 "One thing is sure as shooting-if We grow a surplus of cotton next year there will not only be no demand for it, but it will break down the price of all the cotton. Tt is better to have a surplus of food for man and beast than no food at all. There will be market in the cities of the south for all the surplus food and feed that we can grow. We can feed the hogs and cattle, and we can sell the surplus in the cities. That problem, however is far away.
 MUST BE CARRIED OUT
 The programme must be carried into effect. It will require money and or ganization.
 Perfect an organization in every county and in every district.
 For the benefit of those who were not lucky enough to be present. we will say that the convention was made up of farmers, big and small; merchants, big and small; cotton factors and bank CTS, some at the head of large institu- tions and some at the head of small in- stitutions.
 We are at the beginning of better day in our agricultural and commer- cial operations in the south.
 "The convention yesterday passed resolution offered by the committee cn. resolutions favoring 50 per cent re- duction in the total yield of cotton, as compared with the 1920 crop.
 Adopted the report of the committee on acreage that no farmer shall plant to cotton the coming year (1921) more than 33 1-3 per cent of his lands under actual cultivation in order that a 50 per cent reduction in yield may he made effective.
 ITO enforce compliance through credit restrictions and by denial of credit to any planter farmer, supply merchant or land owner who refuses 70 join in the movement.
 "Compliance to be enforced through state bankers associations, individual bankers and farming, business and civic organizations on the lines laid down in the organization plan.
 Definite, but simple plan of organ ization adopted to reach into avery voting or school district through ooun- ty executive committees and state cen- tral committees.
 Acreage reduction day should be observed according to the importance which it deserves.'

 Montgomery, for violations of the federal bird laws, the United States grand jury in session here this week was denied it's petition for a discharge on the request of Dis trict Attorney 1T. D. Sanford, who declared that his office was now conducting Investigations into aI- legged prOfiteerfng on the price of coal as well as other commodities.

Sanford also declared that it was evident that a secret organization of merchants was maintained in Montgomery, also elsewhere, that announced discounts by prear- ranged agreement, and these dis- count sales, he said, failed of their effect to bring down prices to any thing like the amount involved in the cost of raw material
 "TherefOre, anybody can mark a garment $90 and then drnw n line through it and write $45 beneath" Judge Clayton interpOsed, as he again urged the people to stay on a strike for return to nOrmalcy.
