How a Reduction in the Cot
ton Acreage Affects
the Price

The very best argument that can be
found for the decrease of the cotton
acreage in 1921, as means of better
ing price conditions. can be found in the
effect which an increase or decrease
has had on the price during the past
forty years. In forty years the acre.
age has been decreased from that of
the previous year as much as per cent
only six times, but in every instance a
decrease in the acreage of as much as
5 per cent from the preceding year has
resulted in a marked increase in the
price on December above that of the
year before.
The following shows clearly these re-

did such an increase in acreage over
the year before fail to bring redut >
ton in price on December /. In one
instance, 1889, there was an increase of
5.8 per cent in the acreage, whicb
brought no change in price. In another
instance, 1913, the increase in acreage
which failed to bring reduction in
price was only 8.2 per cent, and 1t fol-

In the other case. 1916. an increase in
the acreage Of 11.3 per cent was fol-
loved by very great increase in the
price over the year before; butthis may
be attributed to the effects Of the war
and the larger demand for lint.
The following shows plainly the
effects on prices Of an increase in
acreage Of as much 10 per cent DUR
