"Il 1ms been snid and truth*
fully that an agitation of reduction
of acreage means an increase
of icviL'i1, and a; ting upon lim
[iteMiniiili? ii that the other man
i* truthful an 1 that ho is a liar,
the farmer pledges liimselt to reduce
his acreage, goes home and
incieises it in order to reap the
beiv tit of li e other man's sacrifice.
We are not fools any more
so tlid by resolutions adopted
j i.-t now wo have agreed that there
shad lie town.-hip organizations,
and each mans name who goes on
the li->t, pledging a reduction in
acreage and f..r!ilizors, who does
notreduce shall lie puplished in the
list after May 12 us being the one
who made a promise, and in order
to catch the neighbor napping
tried to profit by I"is own deeep
tion."
I Wo offer Ibis advice as to a reduction
in acreage and in commercial
fertilizers because we believe
in fact, wo know, that each
individual will lie profited who
heeds it, whether his neighbor
docs it or not, for this reason:
If so much cotton bo raised uoxt
year as to depress the price be
lew the c\>sr of production and he
had curtailed his crop and raised
his own supplies on tho acreage
not planted in cotton, ho has lost
less money than his neighbor who
has ignored his advice and raised
cotton at a loss and has no supplies
to fall hack on. Hence,
from every ttandpoint, from every
economic view, a reduction
of the cotton acroago means increased
prosperity to tho south
and to every individual. It is
needless ror us to multiply words
a wayfaring man, though a fool 1
cotton farmer, need not err. We
wish to appeal to every farmer
simply to use every effort in his
power to save tho profits that lie
is now in profession of, the cash
that ho has realized from last
year's high price cotton, to live
i ii 1. _
more economically now man no
has ever done before; not to exhaust
his cash surplus, so that
ho may imvo a fund upon which
to fall back in case of disaster of
any kind.
In conclusion we are glad to
say that there is a concert of action
through.the cotton belt looking
to tlx-' reduction of acreage and
the maintenance of v remunerative
price in cotton l'exas, Okluhow
