FARMERS OF ALBERTA
CUT COTTON ACREAGE

A very encouraging news letter has
been received from Mr.. J. A. Wallace,
a progressive farmer living near An
berta, which shows the spirit of the
farmers Of that section, and we hope
the same condition exists throughout
every community in the parish.
Mr.. Wallace Informs us that the
farmers of his section are planting less
than half the land in cotton this year
that was planted last year, and that
practically no fertilizer will be used.
The things that sounded especially
favorable to us, though, is the fac
that plenty Of corn and velvet beans
are being planted. Plenty Of corn
and velvet beams would be a good
slogan for every farmer Of the south
this year it seems to us.
Mr.. Wallace letter follows:
Alberta, La, April 4, 1921. e
Editor Democrat:
Not seeing any reports from this
place regarding the reduction in cot.
ton acreage, would like to say that
the farmers down here are not planting
half as much land in cotton as was
planted last year, and no one that
have any knowledge Of is using fer
tilizer. Lots Of corn being planted and
velvet beans is the slogan.
Yours truly,
