10ditor Theo Advertiser:
Thiere seems to be great misunder
standing a-mong our people wi ih re
gard to the aercage reduction law
passed by our last legislature. Most
everyone hero I have talked - with
thought it required only one-third of
all aroable land be planted in cotton.
I see it stated by Senator Jlohnston,
of Newberry, that two-t.hirds is al
lowed .and I see .a statement to that
effect in The State recently. Please
give us the law on that point in this
week's Advertiser. If two-thirds is
allowed it cotton, I think there will
be less opposition to tho law, and if
only one-third, I believe the present
legislaturo ought to repeal it or it
will be disregarded. Many doubt the
constitutionality of It anyway.
1 hope economy will be the aim of
the present legislature and as Gov.
Smith advises that they will "cut to
the bone". I don't often agree with ex
Gov. Blease hut think he was nearly
right about too much "farm dem1on
strators" "Farmers must be told what
to plant and how to plant it." This
idea is being rubbed in until farmers
will resent it.
W. T. Austin.
Cross 11111, S. C., Jan. 1S, 1915.
Tho following Is the cotton reducl
tion law as taken from the records:
"lie it enacted by the General As
scmubly of the State of South Caro
lina, That it shall be iinlawful for any
person, by himself, his agents ort em
ployees, to plant or cultivate in this
state in any year a greater number
of acres of land in cotton than one
third of the total acreage of land
planted and cultivated in all crops
1)y such person in said year, including
grain and fall sown crops planted the
precedin;w fall or winter."
