| Cotton Associ* The Facts A Declaring that the time has conn when the truth regarding the cottor situation must be driven home tc every farmer in the state, the Soutf Carolina Division of the Americar Cotton Association has issued a state ment appealing to every organizaticn in South Carolina to assist it in^iti efforts to secure an acreage reductioi in the state this year. Statistics are gitren which tend U show that on the first of next August before a bale of the 1921 crop is picked, there will be on hand a surplus of over 9,000,000 bales, or almost a one-third crop. It is declared that the planting of anything like a normal acreage in cotton this year- will be a simple suicidal business policy not alone for farmers but for every business interest in the South. For this reason it is declared that the business and professional men should be active in the movement to secure acreage reduction. ' "The gravity of the situation con? C- ^ V, 0 ?. i'o<ro r/lc thp iron tins me ouuui ao * . parking of another cotton crop and the apprehension on our part that there are thousands of people in our state who do not comprehend just what we are up against impels us to issue this appeal to the farmers, business and professional men of South Carolina," says the statement issued by the South Carolina Division of the American Cotton Association. "We feel that it is our duty to place the facts squarely before them, as startling as they are, in order that every ; organized agency in the state may join with us in our efforts to see to it that no farmer in South Carolina plants over onerthird of his cultivated land in cotton this year. To do otherwise will be to invite disaster and financial V bankruptcy. "One of the most alarmming fea. - tures of the present situation is that there are so many who contend that they cannot meet the requirements of the association that thev nlant onlv one-third of their land in cotton. They seem not to stop to conside^ that it would perhaps be better that they - plant no e;otton at all than to plant it an'd be fcreed to sell next fall at a price far below the cost of production which we believe they* will surely have hto do if over a one-half crop is raised i this year.

I will read them, and that somebody will read them to every one that cannot read: ;j "On August 3. 1920. there was a i surplus of American cotton on hand, i | according to -Hester, of G.OSG.OOO j bales. "The ten-year average amount of J American, cotton on hand August 1 is I i,200,000 bale?. "It is thus seen that the surplus on hand on last August 1. was almost six times larger than -the average amount on hand at that time. "The probable amount of surplus i cotton on hand on August 3.. 1921, is estimated by those who are in good positions to know, at over 9.000.000 oales. or almost a one-year ciop. I '-Tiio o-i'ontpsr ennsnmntion of every ? / American cotton ever known in one year was 15,000,000 bales. Ten-year average of consumption of American cotton prior to the great war was 13,000.<?10 bales. With so many of the foreign mills shut down, you may fig-j ure yourself as to how much will be { consumed this year. "The American crop of 13.000,000 bales this year indicates a world supply of all kinds of cotton, including American, of 29,000,000 bales. 'The world carry-over, including j American cotton, may reach a total j of 13.000.000 bales. \ "The world during the first present j ve&r is not likely to consume more J i f without question if Hunt's Sslvn ; fails in the treatment of Eczema. ; Tetter,Rinjworm, Itch, etc- Don't ; become discouraged because ot!:er treatments failed.

They were prepared by the i Cotton Acreage Reduction Committee at Memphis. Tenn., appointed by the great convention of bankers, farmers jrd merchants held at Memphis. This! committee consulted with the best j posted cotton men in the world. "There is one point which we desire I to stress regarding the pledges. They| do not require u farmer to cut his acreage "*0 per rent. They merely require that h. plant only one-third ol" his cultivated land in cotton, Ii he has not been planting over one-third the pledge does not affect him at all. Nevertheless we desire every farmer, whether the pledge affects him or not. to sign the pledge because we desire to announce that a definite number of farmers have signed. This announcement followed by a similar announcement from each of the other cotton states will show the world that the South is in earnest this time and will have a good effect on the market. "The situation is so serious that we appeal to every farm-.]', every merchant. every banker, every professional man: to every newspaper, every chamber of commerce and state-wide organization to join in the fight.
