LIMITING COTTON ACREAGE

Limiting cotton acreage and the
raising of food supplies is the pur-
pose of a meeting of representatives
Of cotton farmers in Memphis this
week. Quite a number of represen-
tative farmers and cotton men were
present.
While the boil weevil is active,
and reports early in the fall We're to
the effect that the insect had eaten
up the crop in number Of states,
yet the bureau crop report shows
that the south has raised this year
over eight million bales OF cotton.
If with the boil weevil so much has
been raised what would have been
raised without him?
So until the demand for cotton in
creases, it is a plain and practical
proposition that the acreage will
have to be reducd if smaller crop
is raised, and a remunerative sum of
money is secured for the crop.

BELL WILL BE GOOD
WHILE IN PEN-MAYBE

]. D. Bell, who has been before the
police many times for various af-
fairs and whose most recent APP
pearance was as a witness in the
trial of the Shaw woman at Coving-
ton, will be good for at least one
year and possibly for five, says We'd
nesday's COMMERCIAL Appeal. He
was under a number of indictments,
one charging that it was he who rob
bed and beat up Will Prescott, who
later became the victim of the Fos-
tiers. That was the strongest case
against him, but with Prescott's
death, the main witness was gone
and yesterday the state compromised
with Bell to plead guilty to larceny
and take one to five years in the peni-
tertiary.
