Just Read and Ponder

The Southern Cotton Conference, in
convention at Memphis December 7th
and 9Th, unanimously agreed that a
reduction Of fifty per cent in the to-
tai yield Of cotton as compared with
the 1920 crop, is necessary. The re-
port of the committee on acreage was
adopted to the eject that no farmer
shall plant to cotton, the coming year,
(1921) more than SO 1-3 per cent OF
his lands under actual cultivation in
order that a fifty per cent reduction
in yield may be made elective through
The star-progress. (Opelousas, La.) 1917-1921, 1921-01-05

Gently issued some very interesting
facts concerning the absolute neces-
sity Of the cotton farmers of the
south taking full cognizance OF the
present situation in the markets, both
for raw cotton and the finished pro-
duct of the mills, and the uniformed
can well take the lesson to heart and
follow the timely advice given by the
committee. To disregard this sage
and sane advice means almost GER
tain ruin in the near future and a
lowering price paid for the south's
chief staple crop which may last for
years to come.
Present Holders Cautioned
Those who have held their crop Of
1920, waiting for higher prices, If
they continue to hold, should be the
first to take up the battle cry and set
the example by reducing acreage in
1921, otherwise their holdings, in
stead OF advancing in value, will drop
to still lower levels.
Recent figures of the government
gave the crop yield Of 1920 at approx
imately thirteen million bales. To
produce a crop in 1921 anywhere ap-
preaching this yield will send the
markets to the very bottom and 1t
may require years for them to assume
anything like a true value for the
south's mainstay. But to produce a
crop of half, or less than halt, will act
as a stimulus and the smaller crop
will bring just as much monetary re-
turns as a large one, with a cores
ponding decrease in the amount Of la
Dor, the acres cut off the cotton crop
to be planted to corn, hay, potatoes
and other foodstUffs.
