agricultural interests of South Caro

extension at Clemson college, a num

and newspaper editors discussed the
cotton pr^lems at a meeting in the
Jefferson hotel yesterday, and issued

the state comparing jfresent condi-

prices dropped so low, and urging the
reduction of acreage of the next cot
ton crop.
The following statement was issued:

hark back to the spring of 1926 and
recall the likeness between conditions
at that time and at present, which
are: The same wor\|^ supply of Amer
ican cotton, the same acreage in cot
ton the previous year, demands rela
tively poor now but perhaps offset to
some extent by lower prices at pres-
several previous years, Indian cotton
threatening but now acutal competi
tor. Everyone will recall that the large
crop of 1926 resulted in a price of
11.9 per pound average for middling.
The average for February, 1929, was
10.08 cents while for February, 1930,
up to the present is about 16 cents per
pound. ,
“These facts together with the
told directors pf the American Cotton
Co-operative association here today.
“Cotton acreage is on the red side
of the ledger," he said, “and there
must be an immediate reduction of
6i)00,000 acres. Unless farmers reduce
their acreage to 40,000,000 there will
bf no cottop profit in the Soutl
furthermore, Southern .farmers face
the prospect this year of no govern
ment aid of an effective character be
cause of overproduction."
He said cotton might sell as low as
ten cents a pound, “or less," if the
same acreage was planted as was
planted last year.
“If the farm board is to help the
Southern farmer, it must not have to
deal with an unwieldy surplus," Mr.
present depressed business conditions , williams said. “And Southern farmers
threaten us with the possibility of make expenses as long as oveA
production holds down the price."

a year fur growing farm supplies
against the time of need next winier,
but not for increasing expenses of pro
duction of cotton. Labor saving imple
ments and good fertilization, however.
He said there was great danger in
the tendency of American growers to
lower quality of t^r cotton while
European growers improyed quality.
“The farmer must move up a year
in his calculations and think of his

down costs and these are always in, tive prices and on the system of plant-
order so long as cotton growing is on ing on the basis of last year’s crop,”

He suggested that no banker finnace
agencies occupy a very strategic posi- for production or landlord permit or

until he has assured a fpod crop for
his family and a feed crop for stock;
that no cotton be planted on any land
that had failed to produce a profit
