That's hard question to answer,
for il he had his photograph taken

look the same twice, One minute he
looks like a canary bird, the next
like tree, the first thing you know
he's flash Of lightning, and can
change from that in two second into

COTTONCUT IN
HALF1N SOUTH
Acreage Reports Show
Great Reduction
Forced

ATLANTA Jan. go. = A careful
investigation throughout the cotton
belt, Just completed, according to
ilgures made public here, indicates
quite clearly that the 1921 redue.
ton in cotton acreage will APPROX
mate so pen cent of the acreage
planted in 1920 The cause for this
heavy reduction is chargeable to two
principal reasons. First, the FARM
ers are holding the bulk of the 1920
crop because present prices repre-
sent, it is claimed, hardly more than
one-third of the cost of production.
Second, banks and supply merchants
are unable to finance the planting
Of normal acreage in cotton in 1921
while carrying the unpaid obligations
of 1920.
Furthermore, it is stated, the cot
ton growers of the South realize the
absolute necessity of largely increas,
ing the acreage in food and feed
crops this year, Reports received
here from hundreds of cotton coun.
ties throughout the entire cotton belt
indicate that the farmers generally
will cut their cotton acreage half in
two. In the Old States, say fertilizer
men here, the reduction in the use Of
commercial fertilizers will be UMPIRE
cedented. This will also tend to
very materially reduce production on
the acreage planted in cotton east
of the Mississippi river.
The intensive campaign for reduc-
ed acreage, which is now being car
ried on in Georgia and various Sec
tions of the South, Is pushing for
ward to most successful conclusions,
according to leading cotton growers.
''Wheh lit is demonstrated by ae-
tual facts,Fa little later on, that not
more than half normal cotton crop
will be produced in 1921, as the re-
suit Of an unprecedented reduction
in the cotton acreage, prices for the
staple will advance to higher levels
and business win be re-established on
Il more satisfactory basis" said well
known cotton man yesterday. "This
is the only solution Of the present
cotton problem, and the farmers,
bankers and merchants are co-operat-
ing successfully to that end. This Is
one time when the cotton growers
can be. depended upon to heavily re-
d1ce the cotton acreage all along the
iife.''
