over pro iuction OF cotton and the
attendant low prices is causing the
cotton farmer of the south great un-
easiness, and the many and varied
remedies suggested to better these
conditions have been thoroughly stud
led over without, however any ma
terial solution.
4 prominent business man of this
city who deals in the staple in sun
dry ways has been watching the cot
ton situation closely and expressed
his opinion Of the matter as follows:
Every state and county in which
cotton is grown is seriously planning
and working TO change from a one
crop system TO a safe and sane
method Of diversification.
"The farmers are becoming wide
awake TO the worlds inability to buy
and pay for the cotton they are rails
ing, and they are therefore banding
themselves together to produce feed
and food sufficient for home consump-
ton.
"A meeting was recently held at
Memphis, Tenn at which time plans
Tor giving out cotton statistics show
ing the real cotton situation. At this
meeting it was agreed that it was
best not to plant TO exceed one third
Of the cultivated land in cotton in
1921, conforming to the plan Of
producing food and feed for home con-
sumption.
The facts obtained from this meet
ing were sent broadcast throughout
the cotton states, and seem TO have
stirred the growers 10 the necessity Of
reducing the acreage.
"Oklaoma has adopted the plan for
acreage reduction which is TO plant
only the amount that the individual
farmer can gather with his own help,
the cotton farmer OF Oklahoma is
now suffering from the financial de-
preston on account Of the folly OF
planting more in 1920 than could be
gathered by the hands on each farm,
There are thousands Of bales of cotton
yet ungathered, and several hundred
thousands in the hands OF the farmer.
"A United States department Of agri-
culture bulletin issued by the bureau
of markets says that at the present
rate of consumption there will be an
available supply Of 12,i57.75O bales Of
cotton in the world on July 31st
1921, or about 6,6ll,75O bales more
than last year.
There is only one answer to this
reducc the acreage, plant food and feed
stuff, unat as l see it is the saliva

Important Suit Postponed
Until Thursday

The suit OF the Magnolia Petro-
leum corporation before the Okla
homa corporation commission, 70
have been decided in oklahoma city
yesterday. has been postponed un-
til Thursday OF this week The
suit was brought at the request OF
the c. J. Wrightsman OIL company,
in order TO compel the Magnolia
lines to take the Wrightsman's gas
in the Robertson field, In township
ln-3w.
This interesting suit has brought
to light the enormous gas pressure
produced by that small field, which
totals Approximately 434.000,000 Gu
bic feet daily production; OF this
II. j. Mauldin produces something
over 50,000,00o feet from his two
gassers. w. II. Gems test makes

5000, 900 cubic feet. This produc-
tion the Magnolia refuses to take,
stating that there Is not gas enough
produced by the Wrightsman inter-
ests to make It profitable to connect
with their wells. The fact that
Tulsa does not consume more than
100000 or 100000 cubic feet of
gas daily, gives an idea OF the tre-
mcndous amount OF gas produced in
this field.
This proceeding Is doubtless
brought under the law that pre-
scribes penalty In cases where
pipeline takes gas from one well
without taking from a neighboring
well, and especially where the COM
pany buys gas from it's own leases.
IL required vast efforts on the part
Of the oil men to get this law passed
by the Oklahoma legislature. but II
is now the law. and should be
obeyed.
