From Alabama Farm Facts.

Apparently the cotton meeting al
Memphis as has been customary at
other gathering, did not pay much at
tention to the statistical facts relating
10 the position OF cotton acreage IN the
south. Perhaps there were no Stats
ticians present. The point which inter
ests one in this connection is that the
meeting resolved that the acreage to
cotton should be reduced 50 pei, cent
so that the aggregate acreage should
not occupy more than one-third OF the
total acreage cultivated. The two ends
of the resolution do not agree, IN that
the acreage grown to cotton this year
occupies only 1872 per cent of the total
acreage cultivated in the ten principal
cotton producing states. This percent
age relates to the theoretic acreage OF
all crops. OF the twelve principal crops
grown in these ten states cotton oc-
cupied last year only 36.4 per cent,
and these ten states produced 95 per
cent of the cotton crop. 1t is interest
ing to note that in 1914 cotton occu-
pied 449 per cent of the total area to
the twelve crops in these states. OF
further interest is the following state
ment, showing the percentage which
cotton acreage bears to aggregate
acreage in the ten states:

A GREAT REDUCTION OF
COTTON ACREAGE SINCE 1914

cotton. while the other seven states
vary from 90 per cent down to 20. In
Arkansas cotton acreage occupies
about AZ per cent of the area in the
cotton producing counties; North Car
DINA, 26; Oklahoma, rs; Tennessee,
81, and in Texas 68. Perhaps the
Memphis meeting had in mind the cot
ton growers and cotton-growing sec
tons only; if so, perhaps cotton occu-
pies close to 40 per cent on the whole.
Even then reduction of 1873 would
not account for much aggregate re
duction.
Another fact which should not be
lost sight of at any time in the discus
sion Of this subject is that the present
acreage to cotton is the result OF a
general reduction from 1914, in which
the producing states have not shared
in equal ratio. The statement below
shows the percentage which the pres
ent cotton acreage bears to the Acre
age of 1914:

Per Cent of Acreage in 1914.

These two statements OF TACT might
be studied with value by those who
will be charged with the determination
of the proper acreage distribution when
the right time comes. So long cotton
must occupy a prominent place in the
cropping system of the south, and at
the same time comprise an important
factor in her agricultural economies,
the relation of its acreage to that of
other crops must be considered along
with other things.
