HOLD COTTON, REDUCE
ACREAGE, ONLY REMEDY
GOVERNORS' PLAN FOR RELIEF OF
SOUTHERN FARMERS.
Keep Unsold Portion of Present Crop
Off Market, Plant 25 Per Cent.
Less Next Year.
New Orleans, October 31.-The far
mers of the South must withhold from
the market every remaining bale of
the present season's crop of cottor
and follow this with a concerted and
binding agreement to-reduce next sea
son's cotton acreage at least 25 per
'cent., if they hope " to restore the
South's great money staple to a nor
mal price level and retrieve the losses
sustained by reason of present low
prices.
This is the plan which the confer
ence of Southern governors adopted at
its concluding session today, to secure
immediate relief from the depression
in the price of the staple.
For Permanent Relief.
'As a means of securing permanent
relief from such conditions, and to
guarantee the cotton farmer in the
future against the necessity of glut
ting the market with his supplies in
the opening of the season, the Con
ference adopted resolutions favoring
the establishment, in every cotton
growing State, of State controlled ware
houses and the collection and periodi
cal publication of statistics bearing up
on the world's demand for and con
sumption of American cotton.
The proposal of foreign banking in
terests of finance a holding movement
covering 2,000,000 bales of the present
crop was referred to special commit
tee for future action.
The recommendations follow.
Ive at Home-Cotton as Surplus.
"We earnestly recommend to the
planters of the Sothern States to fol
low the example of Louisiana and so
diversify their crops as to produce
everything necesary for consumption
on the farm and let cotton be the sur
plus crop, even if; the quantity raised
shall be twenty-five per cent. less than
the present crop, as then they will get
just as much in return for much less
than this year's crop will yield at
present prices. They will soon free
themselves from debt and be in con
dition without financial aid to sell
gradually as the demand shall exist
and not market the work of a year
*in 60 or 90 days as they have been ac
customed to doing.
Urge Consumption Figures.
"We call upon our representatives
in congress to have the present crop
reporting system so amended as to re
quire the periodical publication of re
liable statistics of cotton consumption
and 'trade information, gathered from
all cotton consuming countries, and
we recommend, also, and for oursel
res, agree that the commissioners of
agriculture in the cotton States gather
and publish like information and we
suggest to the legislatures of the cot

ton States to adopt to this end, any
uniform lgisaation enabling the agri
cultural commissioners to act in con
cert and to constitate a bureau of cot
ton manufactured, cotton trade, and
cotton consuming information, to the
end that, with the estimates of pro
duction which are iow furnished by
the federal government, there may
also be estimates of demand and thus
put the planter in position to fix a
fair price for -his products.
Prosecute Bears, Also.
"The members of the conference
have been reliably informed that
bulls on the cotton exchanges have
been indicted in the United States
courts under the Sherman act for con
spiring to buy cotton and advance the
price, and if this be in accordance
with the provisions of this act, then
we respectfully insist that the bears
'in the exchanges who conspire to sell
cotton, which they do not possess, with
the expectation of a decline in price, or
for the purpose of affecting a decline,
be likewise prosecuted.
"A fair and comprehensive system
of future tiading is accepted by the
commercial world as essential to the
proper and alvantageous movemeiL
and dis-ribution of tLe crop, but it is
urgently recommended that congres
ishall pass such laws as will abate
abuses and regulate future contract
trading in exchanges, to the end that
it discharge its functions as a trade
utility, fair alike to both buyer and
seller, and to the commodity which is
the subject of the future transactions.
State Warehoasiug System.
"It is earnestly recommended that
the several State governments shall
take appropriate action to bring about
such warehousing system, or systems,
as will best serve the interests of the
producer of cotton.
"In view of the apparent demand for
cotton during the next thirteen months,
we recommend that the unsold cotton
of the present crop be withdrawn from
the market and disposed of by a sys
tem of gradual marketing. We. urge
bankers and business men to co-oper
ate with farmers in this undertaking.
"We report to the cotton farmers
that tentative and attractive proposi
tions have been made by responsible
financial interests for purchasing some
two million bales of the present crop.
This negotia,tion is referred, for de
velopment in practcal form, to a com
mittee.
Plan to Reduce Acreage.
"Reduction of acreage in 1912 is
urged as a necessary part of any plan
of holding and financing the present
crop. We recommend, and for our
selves agree, that the governor of each
cotton. State proceed at once to ap
point a representative in each county,
who in turn will appoint a representa
tive in each school district or voting
precinct, to secure from ev'ery far
mer a binding, written pledge to re
duce his cotton acreage in 1912, 251
per cent. below his acreage in 1911.
"Without discussing the merits- of
pending proposals for monetary re
form, we recommend that in any leg
islation w.hich congress may enact for
emergency currency based upon com
mercial paper, underwritten by banks
or associations of banks, provision be
made for including in these acts, for
such emergency currency commercial
paper, representing transactions in
cotton as well as transactions in cot
ton goods and other manufactured
products.,
After All, Up to Farmers.
"It is our firm opinion, that by
prompt action, under cooperation and
organization, the cotton farmers a.nd
business men of the Southern States
can speedily riescue themselves from
'impending sacrifice and can restore
the fair price which demonstrated de
mand warrants, and can insure stable
values fronm year to year."
:It was decided to hold similar con
ferences in the future on the call of
the chairman.
The committee which is to consider
the proposed fnancing of two million
bales of the present crop is composed
of Gove:nor Colquiitt, of Texas: Gov
ernor Sanders, of Louisiana; Gover
nor O'Neal, of Alabama; Governor
Noel, of Mississippi, and four citizenq
of business life to be appointed by the
governors named.
One Middleman, Hart's Plan.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 31.--Only one mid
die man between the Southern cotton
farmer and the English spinner is the
proposition which is being presented
to cotton merchants and planters
throusehout the South by A. L. Hart,
of Manchester, England. Mr. Hart's
plan contemplates the establishment,
in Munchester, of agencies for South
erni cotton me&chants, thus enabling
them to deal directly with the spin
