COTTON MEN START A UELIKE Movement for Nour. Hast SulVerers. Ask Wheat Growers to Join. Columbia, I lee. ll. A plan for thc people of the South and West to contribute of their agricultural pro duets lo tho relief of tho Near Fast sufferers and tho Polish people is being worked upon by lite American Cotton Association. The plan was evolved by Louis I. (luina, of Lu goff, member of tho executive com in it loo of the South Carolina Association. : : v. < I was Olldoyttod by tho association at ils nnnua.1 meeting Wednesday. The plan calls for a cont ribut ion ol' cotton equal in value lo $250,000 by ibo people of tho South and a contribution of agricultural producta equal in value to $250,000 by the people of the West. J. S. Wannania ker. president of the American Cot ton Association, has boon delegated to work oui tho dela Ms of the plan. The resolution tdontcd by the South Carolina division of the Amer ican Colt(|l Association follows: "Our attention has boen called to the urgent and i inmediato need of the thousands of children and women in the Near Fast, Including (?alicia, Lithuania. Poland, Kassia. Palestine and Armenia. The American Jewish relief committee and the Near Baal Belief are associations collecting funds to save these unfortunate: from cold, hunger and annihilation. " The people of Poland have? stood as a bulwarU against the over-run liing of civilization by Bolshevism and the Armenians have suffered untold abuses because of theil Christian faith. We therefore th int that these peoples deserve such roliel ns wo can give. "At this lime tho South and Wesi are without money, so thal we can not render financial aid as we should like, and still their cry for hell should not fall on deaf oars. "The South and West are rich ii the products of their several soc Hons, and being inclined to rendel such aid as lies within our power we. the South Carolina division ol the American Cotton Association call upon (he people of the South and West to contribute from our pro ducts, material for food and clothing to protect these distressed peoples. "Therefore, be lt resolved, that wc delegate J. S. Wannamaker, prosl dent of the American Cotton Asso elation, to communicate with thc grain growers of tho West, urginp them to con tributo agricultural pro duets amounting to $250,000, ant thal we urge the American Cottot Association to Join In with the Amer iran Jewish Relief Committee and the Near Hast Relief to contribute cotton equal in value lo a like sun of $250,000 from Southern States. "Re it further resolved, that t committee of threo bo appointed bj the president of tho South Carolin! division of the American Cotton As sedation to take this mader up wltli the American Jewish Rolief com milloo and the Near TOa.st Relief and work out details to put these resolu tions into effect, and further to en <leavor to make, arrangements tc have this cotton manufactured lute suitable goods and make provision lo deliver goods to these people at allot ted."

Columbia, Dec. 11.-The American Cotton Association to-day estimated ibo cotton crop of 1U20 at 12,227, 000 bales, exclusive of linters. Tho report, issued by tho association, said that unless tho price of cotton in creased, much of the low grades will be left in tho fields, thus materially decreasing t li o total number of bales "At present, prices the fainer can not afford to pick low grade cotton and gin it." says tho statement. "We bolieve that much of this cotton will romain unpicked, and if this should prove to ho the caso, there will, of course, be a decreaso In the total crop, as our ostimatc of 12,227,000 bales is based on tho supposition that all of the cotton would be picked." The association also issued statement saying that information had been received by it that the growers of cotton in Egypt had agreed to curtail their acreage pro ductlon for the next crop 3:1 1-? per cent In compliance with a request from the American Cotton Associa lion. Since ibis request was trans mittod to the Egyptian growers, of? (dals of tho association said, lt has ; been determined to decrease thc 'acreage in Hie South .">u per cent 1 and the Egyptians will be asked to ? reduce their acreage; correspond ' i ugly. "The machinery has hoon sot in motion which will absolutely insure n reduction of SO per cent in the cot 1 ton acreage," says the statement.
