The following preamble and ^solutions, offered by Mr. Jones, ere unanimously adopted : Whereas, at the present low ^ rice of cotton the farming bluest of Lancaster couuty cannot ' rosper, and, 1 Whereas, wo in Convention * isombled, desire to relieve this i irions situation, do resolve : t First, that we earnestly re immeud that the fanners ( iroughout Lancaster cauuty, ' ich township thereof, and at as > lauy places in each township l 3 may be convenient, do organ;e a Protective Cotton Associaon, for the purpose of adopting ad carrying out the resolutions f the State flnmrantinn ..f tlm otton Growers' Protective Asiciation, and the resolutions ' jcentiy adopted at Shreveport, * ouisiana. \ Second, that the resolutions 4 tentioned in the first clause ^ Dove provide for a reduction in le cotton acreage for tbe ensuig year of 25 per cent, antl for V reduction iu the use of com* g ercial fertilizers of 25peroent. n >th of which provisions we 1 jreby endorse.
