Columbia, Nov. 26.-J. Skottowe Wannamaker, president of the Ameri can Cotton, Association, today made public the following letter which he has received from Governor Cooper: It. has been inlpossib!o for. me to answer your telegram of the first in stant until now. The delay is due 'to the fact that I wanted to give very serious consideration to your sugges tions with reference to postponement of the time for the payment of taxes an0d the reduction of cotton acreage by legislative enactment. "I am1 sure you know of lmy deep interest in the work being done by the Amcrican Cotton Association. The .situalLoltn which confronts the people o1 the South is a serious one. This i, a time, for clear thinking and cour agV ous a:d conservative action. We are facing a loss in the 1920 crop bas:eld on the present market prices. PiIs obvious that people now 'engaged hi agriculture must change their :nei hod of farlinig if they are to ex pc" a iprofitable return for their la bor and mloley invested. I believe the condition of the farmer as a whole iluelh better now than it ,was four or five yearls ago. Time ip'resellt situa tio: Is only It llorary. I tim con vincd that the price of cotton will :materially aIvalce before the produc tion of another cro). 1 am also sure that there must be a re(lcton of cot ton acreage in 1921, and a correspond ing increase in the planting of grain an( other feed and food crops. There must be an increase in the production of cattle, hogs, etc. We must look the situation as it is squarely in the face. We have every natural advant age.
