Agricultural '
Cotton Association's Policy |
As Outlined by President
Jordan?Cotton Acreage
Not to be Increased next *
Year?"Diversification" to ,
be Southern Farmer's i
"W atchword.
The Southern Cotton Associa- <
tion will not ask the farmers of I
the South to reduce the cotton
acreage for 100(3 less than that i
planted in jl005. The Association i
does ask and insist with all the 1
force at its command that the i
acreage planted in cotton
throughout the belt in 1905 be i
not increased during the planting i
seasou of 1900. Let the watch- i
word of every Southern farmer |
be Diversification, and through i
that agency produce au abun- i
dance of food supplies to main i
tain each farm. 1'ermauent in- i
dependence, thrift and prosperity i
can only be enjoyed by Southern i
cotton growers through the adop- i
tion and maintenance of a system
which will make each farm |
self sustaining. 11 is the only me- i
dium through which the present
jiiiquiiuus creaic system wincn
has so long held our people in
bondage, can bo effectively brok '
en up and relegated to the past.
It is the only medium through 1
which the great masses of cotton
producers can ever hope to con
trol the sale of their cotton in '
the markets of the country and 1
foree consumers and buyers to '
pay them fair and just prices for '
the staple. Any system which f
forces the producer to market his <
crops rapidly in order to meet '
maturing obligations to pay for 1
supplies that could be more c
cneapiy raised at home will ever 1
tend to make a slave of the grow t
er, minimizing the rights of man- *
hood which every Southern cot- 1
ton raiser should enjoy to the 4
ullest extent. 1
t
over-production a serious menace j
In the spring 1905 a crisis seri- c
ous and potential faced the cot- f
ton growers of the South by rea- p
son of over-production of cotton t
in 1904. The Southern Cotton e
-Association at that time waged t
O t> a -I ? Of A - ? ? 1
mn nviHYo auu enecuve campaign
for a reduction in the cotton area
to be planted in 1905. The advice
of the Association was loyally
supported by cotton growers
throughout the entire cotton belt
and a reduction of fully five mil
lion acres was stricken from the
cotton area for 1905 and planted
in other crops. The result of this
display of good judgment on the
part of the farmers is today seen
in bringing the production of cotton
within the legitimate dem

The present estimated twenty?even

enough cotton to meet the demands
of spinners for the Ameri
can Rtaple. Any material in
crease in the cotton acreage for
1006 will tend to stagnate the
cotton market and depress prices
below their legitimate value,
l'he legitimate laws of supply
and demand is the only true
medium of regulating fair ami
legitimate prices for our great
staple product. The Southern
Uottou Association through all
its sources of strength and co
operative mediums of disseminating!
information tn its lnval and
patriotic supporters, with an eye
single to the future prosperity of
all cotton growers and business
iutereHts of the South, earnestly
makes this appeal for broadening
