HOLD COTTON, REDUCE ACREAGE, ONLY REMEDY GOVERNORS' PLAN FOR RELIEF OF SOUTHERN FARMERS. Keep Unsold Portion of Present Crop Off Market, Plant 25 Per Cent. Less Next Year. New Orleans, October 31.-The far mers of the South must withhold from the market every remaining bale of the present season's crop of cottor and follow this with a concerted and binding agreement to-reduce next sea son's cotton acreage at least 25 per 'cent., if they hope " to restore the South's great money staple to a nor mal price level and retrieve the losses sustained by reason of present low prices. This is the plan which the confer ence of Southern governors adopted at its concluding session today, to secure immediate relief from the depression in the price of the staple. For Permanent Relief. 'As a means of securing permanent relief from such conditions, and to guarantee the cotton farmer in the future against the necessity of glut ting the market with his supplies in the opening of the season, the Con ference adopted resolutions favoring the establishment, in every cotton growing State, of State controlled ware houses and the collection and periodi cal publication of statistics bearing up on the world's demand for and con sumption of American cotton. The proposal of foreign banking in terests of finance a holding movement covering 2,000,000 bales of the present crop was referred to special commit tee for future action. The recommendations follow. Ive at Home-Cotton as Surplus. "We earnestly recommend to the planters of the Sothern States to fol low the example of Louisiana and so diversify their crops as to produce everything necesary for consumption on the farm and let cotton be the sur plus crop, even if; the quantity raised shall be twenty-five per cent. less than the present crop, as then they will get just as much in return for much less than this year's crop will yield at present prices. They will soon free themselves from debt and be in con dition without financial aid to sell gradually as the demand shall exist and not market the work of a year *in 60 or 90 days as they have been ac customed to doing. Urge Consumption Figures. "We call upon our representatives in congress to have the present crop reporting system so amended as to re quire the periodical publication of re liable statistics of cotton consumption and 'trade information, gathered from all cotton consuming countries, and we recommend, also, and for oursel res, agree that the commissioners of agriculture in the cotton States gather and publish like information and we suggest to the legislatures of the cot Chest Pains -Sloan's Liniment is an ex cellent remedy for<:hest and throat affections.

Dr. 44 lS.la - Boston ton States to adopt to this end, any uniform lgisaation enabling the agri cultural commissioners to act in con cert and to constitate a bureau of cot ton manufactured, cotton trade, and cotton consuming information, to the end that, with the estimates of pro duction which are iow furnished by the federal government, there may also be estimates of demand and thus put the planter in position to fix a fair price for -his products. Prosecute Bears, Also. "The members of the conference have been reliably informed that bulls on the cotton exchanges have been indicted in the United States courts under the Sherman act for con spiring to buy cotton and advance the price, and if this be in accordance with the provisions of this act, then we respectfully insist that the bears 'in the exchanges who conspire to sell cotton, which they do not possess, with the expectation of a decline in price, or for the purpose of affecting a decline, be likewise prosecuted. "A fair and comprehensive system of future tiading is accepted by the commercial world as essential to the proper and alvantageous movemeiL and dis-ribution of tLe crop, but it is urgently recommended that congres ishall pass such laws as will abate abuses and regulate future contract trading in exchanges, to the end that it discharge its functions as a trade utility, fair alike to both buyer and seller, and to the commodity which is the subject of the future transactions. State Warehoasiug System. "It is earnestly recommended that the several State governments shall take appropriate action to bring about such warehousing system, or systems, as will best serve the interests of the producer of cotton. "In view of the apparent demand for cotton during the next thirteen months, we recommend that the unsold cotton of the present crop be withdrawn from the market and disposed of by a sys tem of gradual marketing. We. urge bankers and business men to co-oper ate with farmers in this undertaking. "We report to the cotton farmers that tentative and attractive proposi tions have been made by responsible financial interests for purchasing some two million bales of the present crop. This negotia,tion is referred, for de velopment in practcal form, to a com mittee. Plan to Reduce Acreage. "Reduction of acreage in 1912 is urged as a necessary part of any plan of holding and financing the present crop. We recommend, and for our selves agree, that the governor of each cotton. State proceed at once to ap point a representative in each county, who in turn will appoint a representa tive in each school district or voting precinct, to secure from ev'ery far mer a binding, written pledge to re duce his cotton acreage in 1912, 251 per cent. below his acreage in 1911. "Without discussing the merits- of pending proposals for monetary re form, we recommend that in any leg islation w.hich congress may enact for emergency currency based upon com mercial paper, underwritten by banks or associations of banks, provision be made for including in these acts, for such emergency currency commercial paper, representing transactions in cotton as well as transactions in cot ton goods and other manufactured products., After All, Up to Farmers. "It is our firm opinion, that by prompt action, under cooperation and organization, the cotton farmers a.nd business men of the Southern States can speedily riescue themselves from 'impending sacrifice and can restore the fair price which demonstrated de mand warrants, and can insure stable values fronm year to year." :It was decided to hold similar con ferences in the future on the call of the chairman. The committee which is to consider the proposed fnancing of two million bales of the present crop is composed of Gove:nor Colquiitt, of Texas: Gov ernor Sanders, of Louisiana; Gover nor O'Neal, of Alabama; Governor Noel, of Mississippi, and four citizenq of business life to be appointed by the governors named. One Middleman, Hart's Plan. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 31.--Only one mid die man between the Southern cotton farmer and the English spinner is the proposition which is being presented to cotton merchants and planters throusehout the South by A. L. Hart, of Manchester, England.
