Cotton association, its thorough or
ganization and support by the peo-
pie of the South is our supreme duty.
"2. The claim by adverse inter-
ests of an over production of cotton,
however fictitious, must be met by
drastic reduction of acreage this
year, and we therefore urge every
cotton producer in the county to
sign the reduction pledge adopted at
the Memphis Cotton convention held
on December Z and 8 of last year.
"3. To make more effective the
acreage reduction we favor and urge
the reenactment of the law made by
the special session of the legislature
in 1914 and request Hon. George S.
Mower to take charge of it in the
house and Senator Johnstone in the
senate.

portance that the cotton growing
states should cooperate in the enact

lation as will make the reduction OF
acreage in cotton effective"

Senator Alan Johnstone spoke per,
suasively and feelingly on the propo'

the acreage of cotton and by raising
other crops. He urged the farmers
to sign the reduction pledges, to live
up to them, and to assist in this way
