THE ACREAGE IN TEXAS ls Being Materially Reduced, Says President E. D. Smith. Columbia, May A. - The statement given to the press by Prosideut Smith is as follows: There has been so muon guessing and speculation as to what Texas was doing in keeping the pledgeo of the Southern Cotton Association that it was with a keon interest that I accepted the invita tion of the Texas executive committoo to meet them in Dallas on the 27th. I reached Dallas at 8 o'clock on Thursday morning and found the exeou tive committee waiting and ready for business. Among other things the chair man, R. E. Smith, of Sherman, Texas, the "Alfalfa King," oalled for the report of the organizers and inspectors to whom had beou assigned the duty of gatheriug information as to aoreage, the holding of cotton and organizing. To each of these men had been assigned a group of counties, the whole comprising practi cally tho cotton belt of Texas. These gentlomen were of the best farmers and I business men of the State. Among them I wore: J. L. Latham, of Dublin; E. S. I Peters, of Calvert; Prof. Connell, editor of tho Farm aud Ranoh;" Editor R. I). Hudson, of Waxahachie, in Ellis county, tho largost cotton growing county in tho world, making 150,000 hales. Those mon, from personnl observation, doolarod un hesitatingly that there was a reduotion of 15 to 30 per cont throughout the en tire State. Now I, personally, would prefor to take the word of theso gentlomen, who would rathor never see 10-oent cotton again than to deliberately make a false statement, than tho wild guesses of the speculator. From Birmingham, Ala., to Dallas, Tsxas, through the Mississippi Delta, and the rioh blaok lands of Texas, I saw but a few fields of cotton up. At least one-half of this territory was not ploughed at all. It is too wet to do any field work in this territory from Meridian, Miss., to Dublin, Tex., and while I write the rain is pouring and has been since noon to-day, and it is now 10 o'olook p. m. When it is taken in consideration that ordinarily the cotton In this country at this season is being chopped to a stand and being ploughed for a second timo, whereas this year practically half of the land is not ovon prepared for planting, somo idea oan be had of tho prospect It must also be borne in mind that all e Suits MEN'S AND BOA8' i Sorgo-made up in dd-in fuot, they aro rew York Cost. The H5.00. NIGHT this vast area of Southern and Middle Tozas is the boil weevil section, and that their only ohanco for eveu a half ci op depends upon getting their cotton in as early in April as possible. A gentleman from Ellis county told me yesterday that a man came into his place of business with five weevils that had been oaught that day, showing that they were already but of winter quarters and ready to do business. -J Of oourae I am gratified at the stand Texas is taking. From Dallas I came here, via Fort Worth, with T L. Latham. Wo passed through thousands of aores of oats and corn, in vrhich wore last year's cotton stalks. Why tho actual conditions existing hom have not been given to the public is a mystery. What I have written can bo verified by hundreds of the best mon iu tho Stato. As to the vast Bales of spot cotton, I find that no one here knows anything about it except what they see in the papers. There is spot cotton be ing held iu this State. Every farmer I have seen (I mnde my first address to day to Texan farmers) declare their in tention to continue to hold. It really seems something is wrong somewhere about this spot sale, because when May notices were posted there was practically no spot cotton to hedge them. Judging from the tenor of the market to-day and the wonderful, acrobatic feat of Theo. Price, it really looks like those of us whose faith in the farmers has been steadfast will be justified. I am informed that there is a fund guaranteed in this State to retire 600,000 bales, aud that operations will begin on Monday. Tbe reason this has not been done before is because the company has been waiting to be convinced as to reduc tion in acreage. The farmers and merchants here are alive to the necessity of warehouses, there being practically no provision for storing the crop in this State. They are forming companies rapidly to build these much needed facilities for storing and handling the crop. I will be in the State ten days, perhaps. E. D. Smith. News from Fairview. Fairview, May 2.-The beautiful spring days are again here and our farmers are planting their orops.
