earnestly recommends that the fol
lowing plan lie adopted:
(1) That the crop of 1919 be re
duced at leflfeM 33 1 : 3 per cent in acre
age, and that the fertilizer or. the two
tWrd area be not increased; but "this
does not apply trt any farm of less
than five acres to the horse; Provid
ed, that in carrying oil this recom
mendation the following schedule of
reduction shall be obse'-ved:

4s -tita 4mw to luanv m> r-f'"e|y
4-7 acres, reduce one a- re to the

TON SIIUATION
i "j
A Suggested Program For
- Dealing With It
(By B. W. Kilgore, Dlwtor, N. C.
, Exp Station and Extension Service,
Treasurer N. C. Cotton' A« «o-iation ; )
The South, anil''North Carolina par
ticularly, wrought wonderfully well j
during the war period. Large crop*,
except cotton, have been made, 'par
ticularly food crops. The cotton crops
of the country for the four years of
the war—l9lo to 1918-were 11,700.- I
000 bales, 11.302,000, 11,450,000 and j
11,192.000, or an average of 11.411>)0t> I
baleji, against the four pre war crops I
.TTi9H 14 of i«.i35 ow; icinc.ano. Ts; j
703.000, 15,693.000, or un average of
1t,922.0U0 bales, which is an average
;>f 3,611.000' bales more annually prior
to, than during the war period.
Tiie acreage of Pint yojir was hut
942,000 less than for 1914 wl'ien the
bumper crop of 18.135,000 bales wan
produced. The low production for
the past' four years has been due |
'mainly to bad seasonal conditions in
Texas and Oklahoma. Good winter
rains already have been had in these
,'th'iT -WtW'ltm'lßßirw nrrenre ns 
in 191,5, near 31.000.00O —and good Rea
sons, a crop well nig!) as large as our
largest can anil likely would be made,
-.vhicJi is far beyond what there are
uny re'iHons to tlvink the world will
i;oiify,me.
B-ig Crap. Low Price.
Our buiuper cottiin orep of 16 000,- 1
000 hales in 1914 brought SBOO,OOO 000
and our 11.500,000 bale critft 1 of 1917
brought the South $1,600.000,000. or
twice as much as the bumper crop ,
We know what this means "big crop,
low price." Cotton at present prices
is at, if not below, the cost of produc
tion, and not an inconsiderable num-
bl.'F' of—North— futv.lili.i fLriiiel" li vp
cotton of two years on linnd.
It would seem that the world n'cds
and will consume at cost of produc
tion,'plus n fair profit, trie small crop j
of 1918." especially as this Is onfl t>l
four small crops in succession, the av
• erirgn for the four years being 11,411.
ft Off bales, or 14, Oh" .000 less for the
four year war period than for the
four year pre war period;
To Mske This Effective.
