ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES VOLUME XXVI COTTON COMMITTEE TO HOLD ITS FIRST MEETING ON NOV. 4 To Determine Plans foi Co-operation With th< Banks and the Cotton Fi< nance Corporation. NO DISAGREEMENT WITH GOV, MdLEAN Meet the Present Emerg ency First, and Then Gc Ahead With Plans foi Next Year. Tribune Huronu Sir Waller Hotel Raleigh, Oot. 20.—The first meeting rtf tin- State cotton tinnnee est lent i t tt-e recently appointed by Governor Me i.eau to assist in solving the ration situation in the state, will be held on Thursday morning, November 4th, in the senate <-,lumber in the capital here, it was niinniinred by the gover nor. At this meeting the committee will organize and determine plans sot its co-operation with the banks and the Cotton Finance Corporation as to ways ami means ft*- financing and storing cotton. It was nisi announced that an additional member of the committee tin it been named, Joseph Rosenthal, of Goldsboro. The day before the meeting of the committee -here, the stockholders in the newly organized Cotton Finance Corporation will, hold a meeting in Greensboro for the purpose of |>er feeting their organization by elecring officers and a board of directors. It is expected that the corporation will he ready to begin business immedi ately after the completion of the or ganization on November 3rd. While there has been some talk concerning some disagreement be tween Governor McLean and those in terested in taking immediate steps toward crop reduction, there has been found so far nothing to substantiate this idea. The attitude of Governor McLean toward crop reduction is well known nnd he has been urging reduc tion of cotton acreage and greater crop diversification for the two years that lie has been governor. He hasmlready reduced.his own cotton acreage 25 per cent. nC-xt year. So those who say that tht'povemor is not in sympathy 'Witt wftNigr reduction are hir«?ntei> *ttmg. Bat the governor holds that the thing to do now is the thing that will get the more immediate results nnd meet the immediate need. A cotton surplus exists now aud must be met now, not next week or next month or next spring. So it is that in order to meet the situation now, Governor McLean turned his atten tion and energies toward evolving some method that would, help the farmers now. not next spring or next fall. And this not only is the belief and contention of Governor McLean, but of W. A. Graham, state commissioner of agriculture, and the idea wilieh he had in mind several days ago in a formal statement to the press. Com missioner Graham realizes that the present problem Is taking care of the immediate cotton surplus and that un til fltis is done it is futile to attempt to go ahead with ifte plans of the Memphis conference for acreage cur tailment. But when the present emergency is past and present condi tions taken care of, then it will be time to go ahead with plans for acreage redaction. But Mr. Graham, from long acquaintance with farmers, does not believe that much success will come from attempting to get farmers to sign hard and fast agreements as to cotton acreage. Farmers have signed many things in the past and ■nave come out at the small end of the deal, and they are wary of sign ing anything these days. Even Dr. B. W. Kilgore, head of the State Cotton Growers’ Co-operative Association, said today that he thought the matter had been attacked from the right angle and that the imme diate need was to care for the exist ing surplus, and then go ahead with the drive for acreage reduction. He said that farmers were responding ex cellently, holding their cotton back and marketing it slowly, and that they were showing an unusual willingness to take advantage of the facilities that were being offered them for storing their cotton. In fact, all agree that in spite of the increasingly large crop that is in sight, that the cotton situation la daily getting better and that it will eventually be solved satisfactorily.

Oct- 29.—Farming Iricts where diversification of crojis is j practiced by the growers are now in I the meet prosperous condition, ft is pointed out by the Farm Forecaster, bulletin of the North Carolina dc- j partmont of agriculture, which cam-j off of the press today. Cutil thi.s fall, it gars on. the; worst situation was in the corn and tbe wheat belts of the United States where conditions had been distressing for many months. However, the bul letin says, wfth evidence of a second large crop of cotton, the situation has become more serious Hunt in the west. Continuing. "As was brought out in the many meetings regarding the solution of the cotton problqin. the diverq'fieation of crops is the remedy. Fortunately. North Carolina in th an! in is a fairly well diversified state, but in over half of the cotton counties, this crop is the big factor. Wisconsin is pointed nut as a atnte that has bettered her cnadition fgri culturall.v by diversifying he* ronn uroduets. Citing the ease of the mid western state it continues, "In a recent publication coming from Wis consin. it was noted that half of the gross farm income from the state comes from dairy products, while 32 per cent additionally conies from other livestock anti product)?- This means that 18 per cent of tbe gross income rantcß from field crops. This is quite a rontrast to the North Carolina income. Also inrantrnet to out diversification 29 per dent of her , crop land is in hay, 28 per eetu in oats and 23 per cent in eoru. The 13 -emaining per cent is in other crops. In other words, Wisconsin is con verting her field crops into livestock products and hus grow ll rich doing / so." Averaging the crop conditions in general,.the bulletin sqjrs, •The^j.ees - Ait indication is for three great reed crops, corn, oats and ha.v to be am ple but not large crops over the country at large. Corn in the Mid- West is late—still green and may be damaged by frost. "The four great money crops show corn, wheat and fruit large enough to depress prices, while pota toes, on the other hand, show a med ium acreage with fall diggings below, expectations, thus hpklitig prices relatively strong." The bulletin declares that for more j than a year ndw the agricultural situation, so far as the purchasing power of farm products is concerned, has been on a decline. North Carolina’s apple crop this year is one of the best ever known, the report shows. Indications this month are that the condition of the fruit crop is 76 cent more than that harvested last year and about 54 per cent more than the average crop during the past five years. The com mercial apple sections reported a slightly higher condition than was | general over the rest of the state.. Continuing the report says, "In . view, of the fact that this condition I is general over the entire I’nited States, it may be anticipated that the price and demand for North . Carolina apples will be very low. Prices being received by farmers on September 15. as reported by them, averaged 75 cents, per bmdiel as t-om •pa red with $1.05 per bushel at that time last year.” THE COTTON -MARKET Opened Finn at Advance of 10 to 85 Points, With January Up to 12:54.
