BENTON DECEMBER

One hope iii this conference is that |
1t will make tlles outside world realize |
that the south is actually in e;lrnest |
In its intention to reduce the cotton |
acreage Heretofore when such move
mellts have been started and it Wsls in
tlicated that those who pledged them -5i
selves to il reduction would live up to
it, the actual result has usually been All
Increased hi acreage and consequently
an over production, and low prices.
This time factor has entered into
the reckoning never before active IN
it. The hunks are planning their 1871
credits OH d basis Of Il 80 Per cent re-
duetion in acreage. and helping the
farmers to raise other crops Il they
live up TO this policy there will be no
question as 10 the reduction.
But. to reap the advantages OF that
| reduction for the cotton that is still in
original hands it wilk be necessary for
this fact to become known ana to he
realized M Ii fact by the outside world.
Early iii august Mr.. Thompson issued
| a letter. which was widely circulated
! i'm the South. in which he urged farm
ers to not. pick the lower grades OF cot
ton. and to turn the cattle in the fields
| after the first spell Of had weather, II
| this suggestion was adopted generally
| it meant Il reduction Of fully two nil
lion bales In the statistical crop. Whicl
was bound tp have a favorable influence
/ on the market for the better grades.
This suggestion Mt first met with some
very bitter criticism. and there was no
Indication that it would be generally
i adopted Fnt as time rolled OH, ana
the price of cotton continued to 90
down. farmers began to realize that
it would not pay them to pick the low
/ grades. Some farmers who did wish to
pick the second crop found that their
tenants refused to pick it. except on
payment of 50 or $50 a hundred No
they have left it In the field. and
turned the cattle in. Many farmers
have found It would notseven pay them
! to pick good cotton.
Il So the suggestion has been adopted
and carried out throughout the South
|. but the farmers have failed to real
any advantage from it, because they
!, did not proclaim the fact from tht
, honsetol,s, and convince the spectators
and spiIlners that they would do some
j thing sensible for once
4 Now 1t Is hoped they will profit b.
3 this lesson and make the average re
0urtion SO "a rolfs that the world wil
i have ts take heed Of it. and when ]
j does the price Of cotton now being hell
| will 90 up to figures that will jaistif.
every sacrifice made in holding it.

Cotton Men Say Big
Reduction in Acreage
Must Follow for 1921

e y E 5G 5 y st.
Clipped from Modern FdrMiag.l
4 most important conference of the
cotton interests of the South was held
i'll Memphis OH the It'll and Sth. The
continued depression in the price Of
Gotten. and the. apparent failure Of the
holding movement to stop the decline.
notwithstanding the. fact that more
cotton has been held off the market
this year than ever before in the lis
tory of the industry. has created a
situation that is unprecedented. and
threatens most dire results.
The only remedy in sight is the re-
duction of acreage next year. Farm
ers. merchants and bankers have come
to the conclusion that that Is the only
remedy This policy has been urged by
tile American Cotton Association ever
sirce the June conference in Montgom-
cry. hut since the collapse of The mar
ket it has loomed up before the farm
ers as the last recourse. Late IN Sep
temher series of parish meetings were
held in Louisiana and In other cotton
states as well. which adopted lrsolll-
tions pledging one-tliird reduction IN
acreage. In October Mr.. W. =. TlWmp
son issued a letter in Which he urged
Il 80 per cent reduction. At a meeting
of the louisiana Bankers Association
in New Orleans early in November =
| resolution was adopted favoring y
per cent reduction. and requesting III
bankers and merchants to arrange theil
credits for next year on that basis
Other Southern: h;,nker's association.
have taken similar action.
Some merchants and banks in lou
isiami have gone SO far as to refMs'
credit for planting any cotton The!
| feel that If the crop could be cut on
entirely for one year. it would brini
about realization of the necessity o
dealing fairly with the producer. ant
| result in stalilization of prices. Whicl
/ would be. welcomed by both produce
1 and spinner.
/ The cotton interests In Afemphi
united in call for a conference t
crystalize this acreage reduction move
meIt. and they have been joined b
President Wannamaker, of the Amer
fcan Cotton Association, who c;llled fh
AIT tforial board OF directoss to meet d
