WATSON SAYS COTTON ACREAGE WILL BE REDl'CEl). Cow FeMt, Soya, Velvet Bcwna, Cotton Seed*—Get catalogue. Wlllet Seed Company, Auguaia, Ga. Commissioner of Agriculture Return* From Trip Through Cotton Belt and Tells of Situation. "Much Interest was aroused and results will be secured,” said Com missioner Watson, upon his return to Columbia Monday after a trip through the cotton States in the in terest of the Rock HtH plan for a re duction of cotton acreage. He was accompanied on the trip by John G. Anderson of Rock Hill, the originator of the plan. Commissioner Watson said that throughout the cotton belt States Mr. Anderson and himself had been most cordially welcomed, and that the Hock Hill plan had been started on Its way to real effectiveness. In North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas and Oklahoma the State superintendents had been appointed and no time was to be lost in getting the counties fully organ- I'/ed and actively at work. In Geor gia the Atlanta chamber of commerce cotton committee has undertaken to finance the operations of the State superintendent’s office. In Little Rock the cotton exchange has under- aken to do the same thing. In none of these States did there appear to be the slightest indication lo hang back, but a remarkable de_ ;• ire of enthusiasm was manifested. No particular effort was made to or ganize the State of Louisiana, though there was an excellent meeting at Haton Rouge. Louisiana's acreage has already been much cut by the !>oll weevil and from other causes and therefore, even there an In- rease In that State, the total crop is so small that it would make but little difference. The tour concluded it New Orleans on Saturday night, and Mr. Watson and Mr. Anderson left New Orleans early Sunday morn ing, the former coming straight ’hrough to Columbia and arriving yesterday afternoon. Mr. Anderson s'opped off at Atlanta to spend a day or two with relatives. The commissioner expressed him- -■elf as agfeeabiy surprised and high ly gratified at the hearty and earnest i coperatlon given by officials of the several Suites and the bodies repre senting the hanking and business In terests AH agreed that the nrreaire in cotton for the 1912 crop must be reduced as a first anti foremost con sideration to any step 'hat might hereafter be determined npon in re g.urd to the marketing and handling <f the crop of 1912 at a fair price 'o the producer. Every interest is row thoroughly aroused to the ne- tessl'y for quick action in view of the nearness of the planting season, and in the opinion of Mr. Watson there will be no undue delays in the application of business methods In iccordance with the Rock Hill plan o absolutely assure reduction. “Hiis- ■ness throughout the belt has felt tin ffect of the low price of cotton this season and Is in the humor to fully cooperate," said Commissioner Wa'- ->HI While on the tour these gentle u'en encountered the rise in the price >f cotton. Mr Watson said neith'T Mr Anderson or himself cared to dis • ss file causes. The rise, however, had had no re'arding effect noon •heir mission, nor will it have in their • pinion on the prosecution of the ' ork to he dnm* under the execution ,' 'he Rock Hill plan Texas was not visited because it arts not JieHoved necessary. Gov. ("ol- ititltf, who Is a worker himself, hav ing given full assurance that that Htate wil! show a substantial reduc tion and that he was looking af'er ■ be matter himself "Yet the hears are proclaiming that there will be no reduction in Texas," said tho com. missioner. Mr Watson, speaking fop himself and Mr Anderson, said they both felt that their quick tour and the efforts they had put forth would bring far- reaching results so far as the price of cotton next season and the pros perity of the South are concerned, and that those were tlie two main prints fo tie considered, They feel also that there is a bettor under standing is making for more com- dote cooperation of cotton producers everywhere henceforth in any and all, tilings affecting the business like marketing and handling of the South's greatest monopoly crop. LEFT HIM HY A FRIEND. Anderson Druggist Inherits One Thousand Dollars. Rlair Clayton, an Anderson drug gist, Monday received notice from Col Iwater, Mich., of a bequest of one thousand dollars, left him by an old travelling salesman, James Walker, who died in Michigan a day or so ago. Mr. Walker, in years past, came to Anderson frequently, sealing crock ery ware, and on these tr^ps lie took a fancy to Mr. Clayton, which is re sponsible for the bequest. The no tice of the bequest stated that Mr. Crayton received the same amount of money as did the several brothers of the deceased man. Reduce Y««r Fat—Send a two cent stamp for particulars.
