PLANTERS AGREE
TO ACREAGE GUT
THOMPSON'S PLEA FOR DIVERSE
FLED CROPS MEETS WITH
FAVORABLE REPLIES
MERCHANTS RESPONSIBLE
Sensible Thing To Do Is To Limit
Cotton Acreage To Not More
Than One Third Of Lands
Placed In Cultivation.

New Orleans.-Louisiana cotton
planters, acting on the advice OF the
Louisiana Division of the American
Cotton Association, country bankers
and merchants, rapidly are pledgine
themselves to limit their cotton acre
age to one-third and use the other
two-thirds in planting food and feed
crops.
In a letter recently sent out by the
country merchants and bankers, w
B. Thompson, president of the Louisi
ana Division of the American Cotton
Association, asked their cooperation
in prevailing upon the cotton planter
to reduce his acreage and to grow
food and feed.
In his letter to the merchants and
bankers, President Thompson said:
'The only way permanent prosper.
ity will be established in the South is
by making the small farmer prosper.
GUS. The small farmer cannot be
prosperous If he spends his money for
food and feed. The country mer'
chant cannot be prosperous II the
farmers who support his business
only pay him in promises. Promises
will not pay the wholesalers bills, nor
meet your notes in the bank.
"The old merchandising policy Of
holding your customers by keeping
them in debt to you does not pay.
You know what happened in 1921. You
have many accounts on your books
which you never will collect, others
which may take years to collect.
"The key to the whole problem lies
IN the hands Of the country merchant
and the banker. He holds the credit
and by using it judiciously and wise.
ly, he can enforce on those farmers
who are inclined to be stubborn the
policy which will help all-he can
make them farm sintelligently and
economically, safely and sanely.
Cotton is still the king product Of
the South, and It must continue so.
Pest ravages and weather uncertain.
ties are making It a very expensive
crop. II the farmers do not abandon
the old methods they vii reach the
point soon where there will be com.
plete abandonment Of cotton through
necessity II not from choice.
"All farmin gand economic organ
izations in the South are united in
urging sane farming. The American
Cotton Association, the Texas Better
Farming Association, the Memphis
Acreage Conference, all are agreed on
the policies to be pressed, not only
during the year 1922, but as perma.
nent policies for the betterment Of
agriculture In the South. Overproduc.
tion In cotton is fatal. Underproduc-
tion, through lack Of proper cultiva.
tion, pest ravages, weather and lack
Of fertilizers, is equally fatal.
"The sensible and reasonable thing
Is to limit cottonaacreage to not more
than one-third " the lands placed
In cultivation, and plant food and feed
crops on the remaining two.thirds. BY.
limiting the acreage, each farmer can
cultivate 1t so carefully that he will
increase his yield per acre amazingly,
and in . normal weather season beat
the boil weevil to his crop.
"The credit agencies are the only
ones which can bring the light Of
reason to the farming element. When
the farmer calls on you for credit and

FASHION TIPS

FASHION TIPS
Paris correspondents to fashion jour,
mails say that skirts are to be longer,
ripple at the bottom and give the ap-
pearance of slimness as they approach
the waist line No, they are not to
flare-just ripple.
| The waist line is to be shortened ON
fall gowns, going back to normal. The
tight bodice is aeeentuated in new
models. 1t is said to be quite Victorian
in its simplicity.
One of the new tricks is to join "a full
skirt to longwaisted bodice, thereby
giving a sop to the fashion that ex-
lists, then to place a narrow belt at the
normal waistlinelto show what is COM
ing over the horizon.
Bias drapery across the front with
straight gathered widths across the
back is favored, giving the straight
line figure liked in Paris as well as
by American women.
Many of the full skirts will be bord-
cred with brilliant embroidery after the
Russian fashion.
