NOTE OF WARNING
GIVEN TO FARMERS
COTTON ASSOCIATION SAYS
WATCH ACREAGE
Four Reasons Assigned for Keeping
Down Amount Of Land Planted
This Year

The State, 19.
Convinced, they say, that any in
crease in cotton acreage this year
would be absolutely ruinous to the
state, officials of the South Carolina
division of the American cotton as
sociation yesterday issued a state
ment setting forth the facts in the sit
uation, as they see them, and urging
every interest in South Carolina to
unite in an effort to hold the acreage
down at least to that of 1921. A fur
ther reduction would be strongly ad-
visable, the association says.
Four major reasons are given by
the association why acreage should
not be increased and the statement
says there are numerous minor rea-
sons. The four principal ones are:
"First. An increase in cotton acre
age would cheaper all collateral held
by Southern banks.
"Second. Under boil weevil condi-
tions an increase in acreage means an
increase in possible disaster by the
boil weevil.
''Third. An increase in cotton acre,
age means a decrease in food and
feed crops. Let's make the Southern
farm self-sustaining before we again
undertake to raise surplus Of cot
ton.
Fourth. After bearing the brunt
of defation neither our bankers, raer-
chants nor farmers are in position
to finance a large crop. Under exist
ing conditions we ought not to run
the risk of a crop failure and thus
embarrass banks. merchants and far
mers. Plant Only such crop as can
be financed with comparative ease"
The association in it's statement
takes the view that while "a large
acreage this year would not, by any
means, insure a large crop, it would
certainly very greatly depress the
price for the next eight or nine
months any way. If we overproduce
prices will be ruirous; if we over
plant the boil weevil repeats its 1921
performance. ruin is certain. Either
way you look at it our only salvation
is in very small acreage"
The association says that it feels it
to be its duty to sound this note OF
warning to the farmers OF the state
and it reminds them that cit is better
to be safe than sorry"
DR.. j. B. Johnson of Rock Hill.
president, and Louis l. Guicn of Lu-
goff, vice president and manager, OF
The association said Yesterday that
they had received letters from bank
ers. merchants mad farmers in everv
section of the state urging that every
step possible be taken to prevent an
increased acreage with the disaster
that it would almost certainly bring.
