Cotton Reduction Issue
Opens Way for Other Crops
By JAMES n. RECORD.
ypecial Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star
FORT WORTH. Tex. April 5.-With
the crucial time at hand for cotton
planting, each section\ of Texas is
watching the other to see whether or
not the acreage is being reduced. All
winter long the campaign for less cot
ton has been waged by merchants,
bankers, state officials and farmers
Less cotton and higher prices for it;
more feedstuff and lower prices for it.
has been the motto all over the state.
The first reports from south Texas,
where planting of cotton has been in
progress week, indicate that the re-
auction has not prevailed there. The
agriculturists in that particular Sec
tien,, however. did not have a disas-
last year. for they s1id il Defo. ..ie,
crash in prices came. The less acre
age campaign. therefore. did not ap-
peal to them as it did to the north
and west Texas farmers.
r Braxos Move for stock.
Another note of Encouragement to
the less cotton adyoca tss has come
out of the BraZos bottoms. Early in
dications as to the size of the crop.
it is said, show that while more feed
stun for live stock is being planted
than usual. the number of acres in
cotton will be close to normal.
The Brazos river farmers and PLAN
tation owners believe they will save
money this fall by fattening their
stock on their own stuff rather than

Showing the seriousness of the cot
ton reduction problem, r. L. Van
Zandt, governor of the federal reserve
bank for this district. has, just issued
q swarning to farmers, bankers and
merchants that a cut in the size of the
Texas cotton crop is imperative.
cannot Finance Full Acreage.
The federal reserve bank, he points
out. cannot finance more than half of
last years acreage Already, he says,
member banks have begun to borrow
TO- finance the cotton grower. and the
surplus money on hand is about used
up.
Truck and fruit growers of east
Texas. who weathered last weeks
freezes and are preparing to market
one of the greatest crops in their his
tory. are protesting the increase in
freight rates. and declared they cannot
pr9ftably move their vegetables and
fruit to the big northern and eastern
markets at the present charges. A
conference has been held with the rail-
roads, but the latter have refused to
make any concessions. In the mean
time. the orchards and truck farms
are beginning to call for haryesters.

dented amount of contemplated work
! feel confident that there will be

Building Trade Scales.
In the building trade. few scales
expired April l. but a majority oper-
ate until June /. The painters scale
expired April 1. and members of the
union suspended work pending a re-

trades insist that they will not ac-

nearby towns are following a similar
course.
Contractors and architects believe
that such announcements as that
made by the American Window Glass
Company. the worlds largest window
glass producers. which cut prices of
It's products 21 per cent, will have a
stimulating effect on building opera
tions.
No Wage Reductions.
SO far as this district is concerned
1t is apparent that railroad wages
will not be reduced through confer
ences between workers and represent
atives of the transportation COM
panies. Employees of the p & l.. E.
railroad rejected a scale offered by
the railroad managers
employees of the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn are in the midst of a series of
conferences at which wage reductions
are presented to groups of workers.
AS each group Is approached wage
proposals are rejected. This means
tnat railroad wage controversies in

Unusually warm weather has started
the movement of berries in this dis

have canvassed the situation say that
the crop will be unusually large un-

develop Some estimates place the
production at better than double that
of last season.
The outlook for a large berry crop
rs likely TO have some influence on
the canned fruit situation Large
stocks of native and Australian jams

Ton, dried fruit and other farm prod

1t is a peculiar condition that the
spring sales in the automobile trade
are more satisfactory in the coun-

automobile man declares that there
has been a distinct revival in demand

try. while trade in the city has con-
tipued slow. This seems to indicate
that the farmer is basicly in a more

steps are TO be taken to stimulate
sales in the city.
The cotton growers of the San Jo-
AQuin valley. who are still holding
their crop because the prices at which
they could sell are below the cost OF
production. have taken steps to form
a pool. so that the crop can be handled
as a whole.

With the continued favorable crop
outlook in the prune and apricot
