 ACREAGE PLAN
 HAS MAJORITY

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.
 Little Rock, Jan. 1S.-Action on a resolution calling for ratification of the Memphis plan of cotton acreage reduction was today referred to the committee on ways and means under instructions to report Wednesday morning, when it will be submitted to vote of the entire state conference of farmers, planters, merchants and business men. The state conference on cotton acreage was opened this morning with an unexpectedly large attendance.
 The Memphis plan, which was drafted by southern leaders at the December conference, stipulates that no farmer or planter shall devote more than one-third of his land actually under cultivation to cotton, to bring about a 50 per cent reduction in the cotton crop. Credit restrictions were devised to enforce the reduction throughout the south.
