and 100000 pound wool pool, which
are both statewide in their nature

It is estimated that the watermelon

FARM BUREAU NEWS.

Dallas. Texas, April 14-"Undoubt-
edly we farmers have heard, and
with considerable credence too, the
cry for cotton acreage reduction that
is coming up from every thinking
person in the Southland. but we must
fully understand that drastic curtail
ment of our cotton acreage and di-
versifcation are the only home to
put cotton farming on renumer-
alive basis again, John T. Orr, Pres
ident of the Texas Farm Bureau
Federation, declared in a plea for
cotton acreage reduction. ut is up
to the farmer to raise only a half
crop of cotton this year and raise
more food and feed crops in the
supreme effort we are making to get
better prices for this years cotton
and to put cotton growing on pay
ing basis for all time.
'I believe that the farmer is going
to take advantage of the situation
because the man who tills the soil
is learning to act in unison with his
brother farmers and to utilize the
best business methods in his farm
ing. The farmer is not morally OBJ
ligated to produce, produce forever
unless those for whom he produces
viii pay him a reasonable price for
his products. If the cotton market
ing system keeps him in poverty
he is going to get better system
If a full crop of cotton this year
clearly means further overlooking of
the market and decentralization Of
prices, he is going to cut the cotton
production in an effort to safely en-
liven the demand and try to raise
the things that will enable him to
live at home.
