Acreage Reduction.

If the rcnplc Of the South want 10
get even on the tremendous loss. they
Sustained by last years terrific raid op
the price nf their cutl0n, they should
right now begin u campaign for Il
still further reduction uf. ncXt's years
cotton acreage as compared with this
year.
We arc going into the next cnttor,
year, beginning September |, with n
cHrry-o over Of nine million bales of last
years crop and To this we are going
To add about nine million bales of this
years crop, making about eighteen
million bales and leaving something
like five or six million. bales for the
next years carry-Over.
There is only one way to get fair
price for cotton now on hand and the
cotton to be- harvested this fall and
that is by making il clrar that the
existing surplus is going to be en-
tircly wiped out. II this surplus is to
DC wiped out, the time To begin is right
now +,
Let's cut next years crop to about
hall the present crop and let's find
some way TO use our surplus acreage
i'and efforts in the multiplication ut
farm products other than cotton. Live
stock Of various kinds is the best
Thing, live stock with plenty of food
for the same SO the livestock will not
have to be sacrificed to pay for its
feed. Let's don't bite off more than
we can chew. Let's cut the cotton
acreage in half get rs much live stock
as we can handle through our own
resources, without having 10 go into
debt for it and then raise enough fond
TO keep The livestock in good cond-
ton until we are ready to turn il
loose.
That's the policy FIR next year. Of
course everybody understands now
everybody who knows anything-that
a small cotton crop brings more money
than large one. then why raise Il
large Que. OF course people do not
necessarily have to raise live STOCK.

mob was quite eager 'tospat' an end to

were unable to see how one murder
could be helped by another murder
and insisted that the law should take
its course. These Lipscombs arc good

- Federal reserve bank. operations
during the past year have resulted in
an increase nf its gold holdings by
$IS3,60i,0 900, Il decrease in its notes in
circulation Of $3.50, 900, and an in
crease in its total reserves of $519, ,00U,-
0O0. according to 4 statistical summary
issued by the board of governors last
Thursday. The contraction of the cur
rcncy indicated, the board said, the de-
gree to which the country had entered
Il period of dcnatiun. Total resources
of the reserve system. amounting to
$5.942, 900, 900 on June 20, 1921, were de-
creased 1871 per cent from the total on
June %, 1920, of $G,074,O00,O00. The
capital of Federal reserve banks, how
ever, increased from $9I, 500,000 TO
$102, $4,000 during the same period,
due tn the fact that "thc system has

CITY RANKS HIGH
IN BANK EARNINGS
On Population Basis, 1t Is Sec
ond In the United States,
Says Butler

Bank earnings in Birmingham made
it the second city In that respect in
the United States last year. according
to the population served.
This was statement made yesterday
at the Monday forum Of the Civic AS
ISOLATION by Frank e Butler. who adj
dressed the conference on the general
qualities Of the city as center Of pro-
duction and distribution
The showing our banks have made
has more than done the city justice,
the speaker declared. land last year we
set UP record of which we can be just
ly proud.
again and again we have forged to
the front in matters of commerce and
finance, and I believe we. as business
men, ought to pay stricter attention
to the statistical side Of these things
for the enlightenment Of our fellows
wherever we encounter them
Mr.. Butler Landed the local library
system, declaring it was much better
than the one at Atlanta, despite the
fact the Atlanta institution is a Car
regie library. Birmingham, leaving out
any consideration of the location, which
Mr. Butler said was little more than de-
plorable. serves more people with more
volume than does the institution of its
rival city.
The speaker touched on the story Of
raw materials. their manufacture and
shipping. and the volume of the business
which was steadily on the increase
The forum resumed the discussion OF
getting a Carnegie library for Birming-
ham.

SCHOOL REPORTS
COME THIS WEEK
Contributions to European Re-
lief Expected to Add
Good Sum

with various reports from the schools
of Birmingham reaching the office OF
the superintendent, Professor Phillips
expects to have available figures by
Wednesday showing the contributions
of Birmingham children toward saving
the lives of other children in the fam
inc lands of Europe.
In every school in the city many
children brought pennies, nickels'
dimes and dollars in order that the
starving ones in the hunger countries
might eat and live The contributions
Of all the schools when totalled is ex-
pected TO show a neat sum to be added
10 those funds that grown-ups poured
Into the treasury OF the European relief
council
Although the intensive work Of the
committees has been completed, Bir-
mingham men and women continue 10
send their donations to the state and
county headquarters at POOL American
Trust building or to ]. Kirkman jack
son, state treasurer of the relief coun-
Gil Birmingham and jefferson county
workers are hoping that before the APP
peal is completed $4,000, or so per cent
above the county's minimum quota will
have been subscribed.
In the meantime, the work is pro-
crossing splendidly in all sections OF
the state, according to the report OF
Erskine Ramsay. state chairman. and
it seems certain that thousands OF
those helpless little ones in far-away
Europe will be enabled to live until
next harvest. through the generosity
Of the men and women and children Of
Alabama, for every $40 means the saw
ing of child's life from now until the
harvest is gathered in the war-wasted
countries.
