MEETING ADOPTS
MEMPHIS PLAN"

After a heated discussion the
state conference Of farmers,
merchants and bankers yester-
day at Little Rock adopted a
resolution endorsing the SOCIAL
ed Memphis Plan" for the re-
duction of the cotton acreage in
1921. After adopting thisreso-
luton the conference adjourn
ed.
The plan, which was adopted
at the meeting Of the SouGhrn
Cotton Conference at Memphis
II December would compel all
cotC9n growers TO reduce tneif
cotton acreage 50 that they will
plant not to exceed one third Of
Their cultivated land to the slap
lie. The Plan provides for the
signing Af pledges by farmers
tl,at they viii not exceed this
limii. by landlords that they vii
compel &heir tenants TO observe
TIE limitation and by banks and
mercantile firms that they will
NOT extena crediG to farmers who
exceed the limit.
II was said that as d result
OF no endorsement OF the Mem
pals PAN" by the conference il
il probable that the heads of the
varieus organizations will get
t6gather at once and appoint a
state central committee as pro-
vidad in the plan.
Sentiment was so oYerWhelm-
ingly in favor of the plan that

FALLING PRICES DUE
TO PROPAGANDA

Six months ago ninty-nine out
Of every one hundred Of our pop
ulation not living on farms we're
roofing as they say at the

farm products to come down.

manufacturers, and Lahore rs
who were hollering for lower
prices for the other fellows
products, Business can never BE-
good nor can the non farming
be prosperous when
the farmer is producing at little
or no profit, and certainly not
when he must sell at loss. The
reason is plain, They produced
$25, 000.000,000 in 1919, and al
so constitute in numbers about
10 per cent Of the buyers; there
fore, it ought TO be evident To
any merchant OF laborer that
when the farmer produces at a
loss, the buying power Of the
country is crippled and merchan
dising cannot be profitable. II
the present price Of cotton, for
instance, were the result Of the
free and unhampered influence
Of supply and demand, no one
would have a reason to complain
bht It is not, it is almost entirely
due % the propaganda fer lower
prices and its consequent effect
on those who control the credit
aid finances of the country.
There is not more cotton nor
less demand than last year, but
less money available for hand
ing it ana an organized effort
to force prices doWn--The Pro
