Washington, May 4.-Financial leg islation which President Carranza has asked the Mexican Congress to con sider at the extra session now being held is being watched closely by off cials here, it was learned today. This is understood to be lue to American interests being involved and to the re cent statement of Louis Cabrera, sec retary of finance in the Mexican Cab inet, that Mexico would not pay its debts at present even if it had the money, preferring to await the results of the peace conference to see "what the world in general will do with its obligations, how many nations will repudiate their debts and how many will trim their obligations to figures compatible with their income." Figures From Mexico. Figures recently received from Mexico through oflicial channels give the deficit for 1918, as announced by Cabrera, as 7,000,000 pesos, or about $3,500,000.

Extraordinary Revenue. Other figures compiled recently by oflicials from authoritative sources show that the Mexican Government received extraordinary revenue during 191.8 by the sale of stock in the Ha waiian-American Steamship Line., 7,000,000 pesos and the abrogation of the Tehauntepee Railway concession, 12,000,000 pesos, which are classed as ordnary revenue in Cabrera's report. In addition, the National Railways, which were confiscatenl by the Car ranza govern ment yielded (luring the year 8.000,000 pesos; private in(lus M:al plants, mines, etc., confiscated, uf not yet returned to the owners, av" another 8,000,000 pesos to the uhlic treasury, and the Wells-Fargo and Mexican express companies con tributed 12,000,000 pesos, one-half of he income of the companies.

Recently a report was placed in circulation by enemie 1 of the acreage reduction movement that Louisiana and Oklahoma wer2 not going to curtail their acreage. Th South Carolina Association ia medi ately wrote the presidents of the Farmers' Unions on those two state asking for information. I. N. McAllister, president of th Louisiana St-ite Farmners' Union writE's that "I.onisiapa has made a vigorous cannaign for cotton acreage reduction, antl I an proud to say that hey have succee:'ed in securing atI least 33 per cent reduction. All of this talk about Louisiana not backing he acreage reduction movement is a ie circulated by bear gamblers. Our pt Iv rt rt to produce more smoke colectd !P.A.'s built to it your hands!

C governor has taken 'a great interest 'n the movement as has a number of the leading business men of our State, the farmers, the commissioner of agriculture and all parties at the convention at New Orleans on May 14 at which time we hope to be able to put a quietus on those skunks that are ranting over our country lying on the people in order to suppress the price of cotton in the interest of bear gamblers." John A. Simpson, president of the Oklahoma Farmers' Union, - writes: "The reports you have on Oklahoma are absolutely false. Our conditions are such that we could not prevent a big reduction in the acreage. *In fact more than 20 per cent of last year's cotton fields are in wheat already to head." COTTON SITUATION IN THIS STATE Columbia, May 5.-That the dele gates from South Carolina to the New Orleans cotton convention two weeks hence may be able to make a detailed certified statement regarding the cot ton situation in this state, the central committee of the South Carolina Cot ton Association is sending out a letter to every county chairman in the state for information. Each chairman is urged to have a personal canvass made in every sec tion of his county in order that the information obtained may be as near correct as possible. The instructions sent to the chairman' says that the United States government will make the closest detailed check of acreage this year that has ever been made in its previous history. A questionaire sent to each county chairman asks for the following information: Information Wanted. Total number of acres of cotton planted in. county in 191F. Total number of acres estimated will be planted in 1919. Number of acres reduced ani per centage of reduction. Estimate as to reduction in con mercial fertilizer for 1919. .io% many weeks backward chair mh. :osid:ers the planting of cotton. Whether preparation is good or poor. Has any cotton in county been kill ed by frost ? If so, how much ? How is stand of cotton? Will it be necessary to replant? What is condition regarding labor? Have follow-up committees been named for each township. Have representatives of Northern spinners and speculators secured in formation in county? 1 Under fair season has county sufli ient acreage planted and can it pro luce sufficient grain crops, including orn and other grain, for the entire onsumption of the county for the next season ? Will county with fair season make iufficient hay crops? Have efforts been made to encour ige planting of sufficient hay and train crops? Will farmers be urged to circulate .ledges binding themselves to discon inue sending orders to the West for Vrain? Will banks be urged to increase heir capital stock 50 per cent? Will county take its allotment of tock in the big cotton marketing, xr.orting and financing corporation? Estimate as to amount of Western ay, corn and oats shipped into coun y. Expect Prompt Reports. The central committee has request d the county chairman to make rompt replies to the questionaire in rder that the committee at its meet ng here on next Thursday may be ble to prepare its report for the New )rleans convention. The letters sent out to the county ha irman contain this paragrap~h re arehing the New Orleans meeting: "Trhe convention at New Orleans 'ill be one of the most important and ireely aittendled conventions ever held the South. The result of the work ecomlplished there will prove of un.. >ld benefit. It really means a new outh. The organization of the For ign Marketing, Exporting and Fi.. ancing Corporation, with a capital round $200,000,000, the increase in mo banking capital of the South 50 rer cent. and the for mation of a per-. anent Southern Cotton Association foster, promote, protect and upbuiild i" cotton interests and the various liod interests of the South, all of hich work will be" nerfectedl at thisi mnvent ion, and will bring not only a 'w Sooth, but nermanent progress id prosPerity.
