10 MEET SATURDAY ON ACREAGE MOVE SCHOOL DISTRICTS ELECT County Meeting at Courthouse to Finally Plan Reduction of
 Cotton Acreage.

From reports given to the Log Cabin Democrat by it's cores spondents in all parts of the county, the call for meetings by school districts last Sat urday was generally answered and delegates from apparently all of the 100 districts elected. Many corres- pondents report the meetings in their respective districts and list the names of the delegates selected. Under the call framed at the mass meeting here January 21, each district was to select three delegates. and the second mass meeting on February should devise plans for finally enforcing the Mem phis plan for reduction of cotton acre. age
 The meeting Saturday will be given over exclusively to farmers. Its dele gates are of their own selection and decisions will as a result be accorded general support. The Memphis plan proposes briefly that no farmer shall plant in cotton this year more than one-third of the land actually under cultivation. The duty of the conven- ton will be to devise methods by which this reduction will be made uniform. As adopted at Memphis, the general plan suggests the appoint ment of township or school districts committees who will cooperate with the county leaders in preventing violation of the pledge.
 ?. r. Cleaver. president of the Con way Commercial Club will call the meeting Saturday at 1 o'clock, and all delegates are expected to be there Oportunity will be given every one for discussion of the problem before the delegates. Any one not a delegate but interested in the development of the plan will be welcome to attend the meeting.
