Heyward Says Acreage is Cot j But lite Governor of Texas Sees ' 1 No Evidence of it Letters ^ From Southern Executives j Gives Conflicting Views , on the Situation. ( ~ I Baltimore, March 30. ? Deep < and active interest in this .canpuign for a reduction of thr aero- ( M'r rtf citttiin lit!-, vpur im iihuiiin -r>~ " ' -J ? < by the authorities of Southern j States, led the Manufacturers' Kocord this week to wire the governors of the cotton Stutos asking for their opinion us to the extent of the reduction to he made. < Governor Vardaman of Mississippi, has entered upon u canvass of his State in the interest of reduction, making direct appeal to ( growers and others, and Governor Blunchard of Louisiana lias issued 1 an officio) call urging the growers to promote their individual interests, us well as the interests of the entile South, hy planting a largely decreased area in cotton than that planted in 1904, and the hunkers, merchants and others to exert their inllucnce in behalf of such reduction. Such action by the authorities, together with the vigor with which other prominent men throughout the South are pressing the camnaiirn. re-inform tho impressions favorable to reduction given in tho letters published by the Manufacture!s' liecord about a month ago from nearly a thousand Southern bankers telling of plans in their respective communities for a curtailment of tho acreage. Telegrams received from some of tho governors will tend to strengthen the campaign. They are as follows: Governor .lames K Vardaman of Mississippi: "Your request for a report on the question of reduction of cotton acreago in Mississippi hus boen t now making a pretty thorough canvass of tho State, but 1 am not as well propared to answer your question as I shall bo a little later. However, I am sure that I am within the limits of conservatism when 1 say that in Mississippi the cotton acreage will be reducad not less than 20 per cent. I believe it will go 25 per cent. The farmers are greatly interested in this mutter, and the work of campaigning has hardly begun." Governor M B Broward of Floridu: "1 know of no reduction contemplated by our farmers." Governor J M Terrell of Georgia: "At least 75 per cent of tho cotton growers will reduce their crop from 25 to 30 per cent. Twenty-five per cent of the grow? era will make ouly a normal reduction. A reduction of 20 per cent is a conservative estimate." Governor S W 'I' l - * ... ? . ?. 1 ill il ll II111 CM Texas: "It is impossible to an. ( swer tfith uny certainty. Excess* ivo rains have a (Tec tod the sowing of spring oats. Corn planting has been dolayed for the same reason, and it is not likely that die usual acreage will be used for corn. In consequence it is not probable that the cotton acreage will be materially reduced." Governor I) C Hey ward of South Carolina: "Answering ?..) - - - j w?.? iuiv^i uiii or inquiry, I do not feel warranted at Itiin time in x making a forecast as to the reduction of the cotton acreage in ? South Carolina this year. Official duties have prevented wiy having the opportunity to observe the conditions of the fields, and, consequently, kucI) a forocast would J be merely a matter of personal opinion. I should think that the h officers of tho South Carolina Cot- tl ton Growers' Association, who have traveled over the State wpuld bo in a hotter position to* furnish the desired forecast. These officers report that farmers are 41 linking the reduction nv pledged >y them.
