very positive views of midshipmen

Report
on
Acreage.
What is firmly bettered will be
the solution of the cotton situatiou
was reached here today, when the
cotton convention without dis
senting vote declared in favor of a
23 per cent reduction in acreage
and an equal reduction in commer
cial fertiliser, and backed that ac
tion np with the adoption of a com
prehensive plan to secure the sup
port of every farmer, big and little,
in the cotton belt. An overwhelm
ing majority of the delegate were
present when the report waa re
ceived and acted upon.
At the opening afternoon sewion
former 8enator McLaurin of (South
Carolina spoke along the lines of
national protection for the cotton
growers, saying that heretofore the
cotton planter had been sacrificed
to the doctrine of free raw material.
A reference to Piesident ltoose
veil's kindness to the South pro
voked a favorable demonstration
ou the part of the audience. Form
er Lieutenant Governor Jester of
Texas, from committee on ''holding
and fiuaucing the balance of the
present crop,'' presented a report
setting forth that each State and
local section seems amply able to
finance its preseut holdings. The
committee believed that the cotton
now iu the hands of the producers
should remain ou the farm or be
stored in local warehouses, protect
ed against weather and fire, and
said that the banks and commission
men evidenced a willingness to aid
iu marketing the balance of the
crop so as to bold iu check any dis
position to rush in cottou unduly
aud break the market. Belief was
expressed that 25 per cent, reduc
tion in acreage aud 25 per cent re
duction in fertilizers will solve the
cotton problem.
Alter the convention had voted
an invitation to Capt. Richard P.
Holison to speak, K. 11. Jenkins of
Texas was recognized to read the
report of the committee on the
acreage, which the convention had
voted to be of paramount import
ance. The report follows:
To the Hon. Ilarvie Jordan, chair
man Iuter-State Cotton Growers:
"We, the committee on acreage
and fertilizers, do recommend that
acreage planted in cot
ton in 1105 shall be 25
per cent less than in
1!H)4 and that there shall
be a reduction of 23 per
cent in the use of commercial fer
tilizers in growing cottou. We
recommend the following plan for
the accomplishment of said reduction:
"1st That the vice presidents of
this association call a meeting of all
persons interested in cottou on the
11th day oi February, liiof), in tue
county seat of each county not al
ready organized, on the plan Here
inafter set out, at which meeting
there shall be elected a county

or other small political subdivision
of the county.
('2nd. That there shall be held

trict or other small political sub
division who are interested in the
urowing of cotton, which meeting
shall elect a committee of three on
acreage and niombersbip.
"3rd. At said precinct meeting
the farmers and laud owners pres
ent shall be asked to

., couuty of , otate
of , bereDy pieflge our
selves to reduce the acreage plant
ed by us In cotton and to reduce
our consumption of fertilizer in
growing cotton as shown by the
statements set opposite our names.'
"4th. That said committee on
acreacre and membership shall 1m
mediately canvass said district and
ask all farmers and land owners in
said district who do not attend
such meeting, to sign said pledge,
and said committee shall return
said pledge to the chairman of said
precinct
"5th. Said precinct chairmen
shall preserve said pledge, and
they shall immediately report to
the county chairman showing the
total number or teres planted in
ootton in said precinct in 1!04, and
the total number to be planted iu
cotton in said precinct In 1005, the
total amount of fertilizer used In
growing ootton in said precinct
and the total amount to be used in
said precinct in said years.
"6th. The county chairmen shall
Immediately forward to the State
vice president oi
their respective
States written state
ment showing the
total number of acres
planted in cotton in their respect
ive counties in 1904 and the total
amount to be planted in 1905, and
shall make a like report as to the
fettiliser used, and to be nsed, in
said years.
"7th. The vice president of each
State shall, Immediately upon re
ceiving the reports of the county
in said year in growing cotton aud
the aiuouut or cotton to be planted
and fertilizers to be nsed ia 1903.
"Mh. The president of this as
sociation, upon receiving these re-
! porta, shall immediately tabulate
the same and send a ropy thereof:
to the county chairmen.
'9th. If any couuty not already
oiganized should fail toorgauize,
the vice president of the State in
which the county is situated snail
cause said couuty to be organized
as herein provided, and if any pre
cinct should fail to organize, the
county chairman of the county in
which said precinct ia situated
shall cause such precinct to be or
rauized as herein provided.
"10th. It shall be the further
duty of the officers of this associa
tion to report the names and ad
dresses of such persons who refuse
to sigu the agreement to reduce
acreage for liMiS, together with the
number of acres of cotton planted
by such persons in 1904 aud the
uumberthey will plant in 1905,
and to make a like report as to fer
tilizers." Martin V. Calvin and Bert Mil

have gone to the extent
of 33J per cent, but T. E. Mawten
gale of the same State rallied the
convention to immediate consider
ation, ou the ground that this was
the most vital business that could
come before the convention, and
by au overwhelming vote the con
vention decided upon action,

thunderous aye aud without a

Without transacting any other
business or listening to any of the
papers on the program, the con
vention took a recess uutil night
At the night session of the cot
ton conveution President Jordau
read a telegram from
Want Director North of the
dinners' Census Bureau, in an
Report, swer to the request for a
gin tiers' report tomor

"We have given our agents un
til Jauuary 2S to mail reports of
cotton ginned to Jauuary lb, I bus
far, only 150 out of TOO counties
have been received, mostly small
cotton producers, too small a por
tion to have much significance if
published tomorrow. If the con
vention desires such a partial re
port it will be made tomorrow at 1
o'clock."
The convention voted a request
that the report be sent tomorrow,
with a comparison with last year's
report from the same counties at
the same time.
The convention listened to ad
dresses by Thomas E. Watson of
Georgia and (.apt It 1'. llooson.
Ilarvie Jordan was made perma

A report was adopted to the ef

On the eve of the cotton growers'

wrote an oeii letter to the mem

advertisement in many papers. He
said be would give them some free
advice, which was to sell their cot
tou at once, as the price was sure
to go down, because this year's
crop would certainly turn out to le
14,000,000 bales, aud that the talk
of red net ion would anion lit to noth
ing from the fact that, the first pro
duction of over 11,000,000 bales in
1WI7-X, seut the price to o, and
there was an increase in acreage
the next year of 21 per cent. He
says: "the second crop oi over
11,00(1,000 produced iu 18!8-9 car
ried middling cotton in New York
to 5 5 10 cents, and resulted in
reductiou iu acreage of only 6 per
cent. If 5-cent cotton in the South
for two years resulted in a reduc
tiou iu acreage of ouly 6 per cent,
it hardly seems probable than an
average of 8 ceuts a pound for this
crop will result in a greater curtail
incut in 1005, and, theretore, unless
the season proves disastrous, it is
reasonable to expect a crop ot at
least 11,000,000 bales next year, or
a total supply for the two years of
25,000,000 bales and 20,000,000 is
probable rather than otherwise,"
This proposition may easily be au
swered by the fact that farmers
then believed that the monetary
standard of the country was the
cause of low prices, and not the
acreage at all, and there was uo ef
fort at reduction. Times have
changed. The farmers know some
of the things now that Mr. Price
has known a long time and Mr.
Prim will have to come again.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion ot th ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf neaa
nd that is by constitutional remedies,
Deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of th
Eustachian Tube. When this tub
gets iuflaintd you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
t is entirely closed deatness is th re-
ult, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
Is normal condition, bearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused oy caiarrn, wntco 1
