With tho sensational jun.pii and slumping of tho cotton mar et, farmers are in tho air, a while they are refusing to sell prevailing ju ices there is no dirt ntiin ition t hut the plan to rode the acreage will be put into etFt in all of tho producing Stub Many plans have been suggeste Some tools over iu Georgia ha undertaken to burn a part of t orop, but they did not even scor themselves by the littie bonfire. C. S. Webb, manager for t Southern mills in the l'icdmo section f< r I man vM. Compun makes the sensible suggestion holding a purt of this year's cn aud reducing the acreage no spring oue-fortli. Much of tl amount hel 1 u dav will have to ' tin iwu on the market, but the will be no use to hold and ph big crops for the coming yea Tho effect of that would botodri the present price down to u low figure, with no hope of bett prices f< r tho future crop. In specking of ?ho outlook, M Webb ^ i d: "If farmer.-* will hold n millu to a million and a half bales this crop ami will reduce the acreage i cxt year one-fourth tin should get at least >s to 9 cents f< the retuaindcr of this crop ai probably more than that for ne year's er m . 1 think the mill factories and bankers would bew ing t i store cotton for the farme anil advance the in, say six cents pound on cotton stored shall 1 sold. 1 do not think it a \vi idea for the farmers and mere 1 1 CftU to ITli \J lltl\U L IUUU Ull 1114 11 V 4 LIU to try to hold all of it, as th would be imi ossible, but it in n impossible for them to hold fro a million to a million nud a hi; bale*. "If the farmers of the Sou plant as much cotton as they d last year they will not recei over live cents a pound for the r mninder of this crop and probab lower than that for next year crop. "In 18h;> the south raised crop of eleven and one-four million bales and we had a millii bales surplus at that time wbi< gave us over twelve and on< fourih million bales. The tirst i September, lt)04, the world w practically bare of cotton. \N had very little surplus on hum Now admit that this crop will I twelve and one-fourth millu bales. The world will take ov< eleven million bales of our cotloi Say the farmers reduce the acrt age next year one-forth, or enouj, to raise about ten million bale If they do tins i do not see ui reason why they should not r ceivo from 0 to 1" cents for tl remainder of this crap and ne year h crop. in l s\'t> good outt( sold ua low as 5 cents, but yc must rcmombor thut everythii else was cheaper. Farmers cou afford to raiso cotton that yei two cents a pound cheaper thi they can now.
