REDUCTION IS GREAT The Journal of Commerce of New York in its issue of Friday states that it hu learned from 1,600 correspondent* in the South that cotton acreage has been reduced 11.2 per cent, these reports being of date April 23. The same report says that fertilizer has been reduced considerably but the average is about 7 per cent. When he saw this statement, Commissioner B.

"And you can just multiply by half what the New York paper says,"declared Mr. Harris. "When they admit 11.2 per cent., you can rest assured that the production is not less than 25 per cent, and the reports of the aotton association, upon which we put so much reliance as the New York paper does upon its own coirespondents, indicate that the reduction is about 33 1-3 per cent.
