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
