Urges
Reduction in Cot
tonAcreage In 1922

r. r. Shropshire, secretary-man-
ager Of the United Campaign for
Better Agriculture, points out that
the circumstance that the recent
cold weather viii knock out the
b0ll weevil and probably eliminate
the greatest hazard to normal
production Of cotton" makes II all
the more essential 20 limit acreage.
SHOULD the future bring a reali-
cation Of this expectation" Mr..
Shropshire said. 1T Is all the more
essential that cotton acreage be held
within the limits Of the 1921 fig
ures. Those in authority tell US
that this acreage under normal
weather and insect pest conditions
Is sufficiently large to produce TO-
600, 900 to 11,000,0 900 bales and
with the expected carry-over Of
some 100000 bales would give us
as much 10 market this Fall as can
be expected 20 be handled at a fair
price.
Viewing the situation from this
standpoint, there Is no valid reason
for the farmer, at the expense Of
food and feed crops, 70 increase his
cotton acreage and bring 70 mar
ket a pre-war production. Should
he do this. IL would destroy the val
ne Of a reasonable crop and force
the farmer with low-priced cotton
to buy his food and feed require
merits on the market At high prices.
Safe farming should be the rule
this season no matter what the con-
ditions. That l. the only sure way
20 prevent disaster.

SOLDIERS JAM TRAINS.
Fleeing Fengtien Forces Moving
Toward Chunliangcheng.

By the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI. May Dedicated
Fengtien forces from the southern
front at Manchang and the northern
fighting area are pouring through
Tientsin toward ShunliangchenE.
from which their leader. Gen. Chang
Tso-Lin, is reported to have with
drawn, seeking to reorganize his
army.
Reports from Tientsin say the rail-
road yards there are choked with
troop trains damned with soldiers,
200 to each car. Following five train
loads last night 1t was estimated to-
day that 5000 men had passed
through. with 10000 more in the rail-
road yards.
The troops from the northern front
are disheartened. and say they have
been fighting for three days without
food at Fengtai and Langfang. They
are anxious to return to Mukden.
The men are still heavily armed. but
are maintaining discipline. showing no
tendency toward footing or disorder.
The Tientsin authorities, however, are
guarding the railroad yards. refusing
to permit the troops to leave the sta
ton. Bread is being distributed to the
soldiers. all of whom on their arrival
made wild rush. pleading for water.
A few have been wounded by the
guards. There has been no disorder,
but Tientsin is apprehensive.
American troops are guarding the
property of their nationals and keep
ing watch 1t the railway station. The
United States cruiser Huron arrived
yesterday and landed $50 marines. Re-
ports that the railroad line to Mukden
has been cut by the forces of Gen WI
Pei-Fu are unverified.
An American military observer re-
turning to Tientsin from Machang
says Changes forces are still holding
seven kilometers beyond that town,
where there is occasional firing He
saw scores of dead. while, hundreds of
wounded were uncared for in the i'm
provised, inadequate hospitals, where
they lay pleading for water and food.

STOCKHOLM. May 6.-P m r
Branting, who has just returned from
Genoa. expresses confidence in the
final outcome of the conference, but
qualities his statements regarding its
accomplishments to date. In various
unofficial interviews he has expressed
his belief that the conference made
a great step forward in bringing
Germany and Russia into the world
affairs on footing nearly equal with
that of other nations.
In all practical ways" says Mr..
Branting. Russia has been recog-
nized officially. which places final
denial upon the report that Sweden
would be the first to grant such rec
ognition IL she goes through with the
trade agreement now before the riks-
dag. The principal criticism of the
Genoa conference is that there was a
lack of preparation in the problems
brought up for settlement, which dur
ing the first week caused much con-
fusion among the delegates. Perhaps
the work in Genoa may lay the basis
is such a great difference in the man
ner of thought in western and east
ern Europe that it takes the repre-
sentatives a long time to become ac-
customed to each other.
80 far as the activity of the neu-
tTdl states Is cOHGeTHSu we Ieel HOtH-
ing but satisfaction, as we have i'm
pressed our ideas clearly upon the
greater powers"
1t is believed here that Mr.. Brant-
ing now intends to push Sweden's
trade agreement with Russia, which
contains rather strong claims upon
political recognition, through the
riksdag at an early date. using the
events at Genoa as an argument for
speedy action.

while she would like to side with
France, she does not wish to oppose
Russia.
Some Of the delegates are already
drawing up lists of how the various
countries would divide should 1t come
to a break between the two tenden-

and the BelNsans and the other by the

struction of Europe.
Belgian Socialists Break.
Representatives of the Belgian social
lists who are here declared today their
party was not supporting the present
attitude Of the Belgian delegation. They
are protesting against the isolation in
which their country finds itself in SUP

express it. Mr.. Lloyd George spent the
entire morning awaiting the coming of
NJ. Barthou for the conference the latter

however, that the French delegate would
arrange a meeting for some hour during
the afternoon.
Whether the meeting would open the
way for liquidation of the vital issues
remaining before the conference was the
question animating all Genoa today.
NJ. Barthou telegraphed that he

as soon as possible after his arrival

by the Picking government of Gen.

Chang Tso-Lin. who brought 100
900 troops south of the great wall.

His flight was hurried. He had pro-
ceeded to Loafa along the Picking
Tientsin railway with a view to de-
recting operations around the capital
when he learned of the defeat there
and fed, leaving his disorganiZed
troops to follow as best they could.
Half of Chang's army is roaming
the country between Picking and
Tientsin, all trying to reach the lat
ter place, or point northWaro, on
the Mukden railroad. A message

just outside it's walls for the last Ave
days. remains free of the presence Of
large bodies of troops from either

An accurate estimate of the casu-
alities can not be obtained at this

counted near Changsinlieu alone.
