Mr. E D Smith, President of the South Carolina Cotton Growers' Association, is putting forth strenuous efforts to induce the cotton planters of the State to organize with a view that there might be an united movement on the part of the planters to reduce the cotton acreage the coming eeaEon and thereby raise the price of I the staple to 10 cents per pound, | which he thinks is just and equitable j to growers, buyers and manufacturers alike. In a recent address urging those j who have cotton to hold its he says, that the growers from the Rio Grande to the Atlantic Ocean are ful y alive to the situation. The old spirit | seems to be prevalent that every | other business was their enemy iB passing and the cotton farmer fully realizes that the present condition in which he finds himself is the result of his own doiDgs. Every State in fch? pnl.fnn halt, is nrpanizim? for the 1 ~ ~? ?D O | purpose of holding cotton and rej ducmg acreage of cotton acd increas[ ing acreage for home supplies, j Let every farmer who has cotton I bold it and not duplicate it in next year's crop. It is manifest to him I that if be stores this cottoD, borrows the money on if, that another year j be will realize enough to pay him 75 to 100 per cent, besides giving him | an abundance of home Buppliep. i Again we must have a systematic reduction of acreage, some plan by which we may have this done organ| ically, officially, if thoBe are the proj per words.
