In short, North Carolina took the- initiative; set "a precedent which, if followed m prac tice, as well as in theory, will guar antee the farmer justice. "Live at home and board at. the rotip TlQfr.'l was the sentiment shown, as repre sentative farmers urged their breth ren to raise their own foodstuff and be independent. After a full discussion of the low price of cotton the following resolu tions were adopted: "Whereas, We meet in a time nothing less than a crisis to all South ern interests cotton is now selling below the cost of production, to the great injury of not only our farmers but of every worthy interest in the South. "Wherea.?, All the information we have received from every part of the South indicates that the crop is mate rially shorter than the government esu:.-,a.te indicates, and we are con fident that farmers who hold cotton "Resolved 6th. That we rocognize that the only permanent insurance of better prices must be found in confidence that next year's crop will not be another bumper yield. We wish to present as the most impor ant matter to come before the Gov ernors' Conferences and the most important matter for our Farmers' Union, is to take steps at once all over the South to effectually reduce the 1912 acreage. To this end we re commend for consideration and amendment with legal advice) the following plan, presented by Presi dent A. J. McKinnom "That in order to protect the in terest of the South that it is neces sary for the acreage in cotton to be reduced next year to a size that will avoid the possibility of a surplus for the future and to accomplish this result we recommend that the Farm ers' Union sign themselves and get the farmers in their respective com munitives, who are not members of the order, to sign the following agreement: "For value received we, the un dersigned farmers, land-owners and tenants hereby agree that we will not plant, or permit to be planted exceeding sixty per cent of the open tenable land I now own, or may hereafter acquire, in cotton and I further agree that in case three par ties to this agreement that they may have a competent surveyor to survey and make the calculation at thir expense, and if I have violated the agreement I agree to pay" all expen ses for said -survey and pay $10.00 per acre for each in excess of sixty per cent of my total open land de voted to cotton. "It is further agreed that said debt shall immediately become due and payable to the treasurer of the nearest local union by the land-owner on whose land the excess acreage is found, and said land-owner shall have power to recover from any ten ant violating this agreement $10.00 per acre in the same manner he would collect any other amount ad vanced by him for said tenant.
