INVESTIGATION.
PLEA OF EXPERT
4
kroh Advises Farmers to Cut
Cotton Acreage and
Raise More Foods

More effective organization among the
farmers. and more intelligent way OF
planting crops, especially cotton, was
the doctrine advanced yesterday by A.
r. Kroh, farm expert, who lectured at
the Tutwiler hotel on farm dversifica-
ton.
The solution for the cotton market, ac-
giving over only half of his usual cot
ton acreage to crop on the next plant
ing and trying crop diversification on
the rest of his soil.
IF you do this" Mr.. Kroh declared,
.'Pll guarantee you hundred per cent
increase in the price of cotton next year,
and / want to tell you, further, that the
finished product will not cost you any
more as the result"
Mr.. Kroh told what he had accom-
plished in New Mexico toward getting a
tremendous crop of grain off his land
when rain was the scarcest thing in the
territory, He contrasted the vast
stretches Of his sun-burned land with the
wonderfully fertile soil of the southern
states. and told the assembly that. with
more studied application to the soil
of this community. the farmers could
work almost unbelievable miracles with
it in getting bigger and better crops.
At the finish of his lecture he was
warmly applauded A general discus
sion OF the situation was taken UP. with
j. o. Thompson presiding. Discussion
was made Of plans for the furthering
of the crop Investigation programme
together with its proper financing.
