URGE REDUCED COTTON CROP
Southern Merchants at Their Atlanta
Mesting Favor Rock Hill
Plan.
Atlanta. The Rock Hill plan of
cotton reduction was indorsed by the
Southern Merchants' convention at
their meeting in thla city, in the fol
lowing resolution, which was unani
mously adopted:
"Whereas, the South made 13,000,-
000 to 1 6,000,000 balea of cotton in
1911, 2,000,000 more than the spin
ners need in any one year; and.
"Whereas, the European mills gen
erally and many American milla are
now buying the sarplus of tbe last
crop to cary over iuto 1912; there,
fore, be It . .
"Resolved, That we, the Southern
Merchants' convention, deem it un
wise to encourage the production of
a large crop in 1912, because anoth-
r bumper crop would certainly, sell
for a very low price,: which. In turn,
would cause general and serious de
moralization In business. Be It fur
ther .
"Resolved, That we indorse ! the
'Rock Hill plan' of cotton acreage re
duction and pledge ourselves to work
for if . .
"Another 16,000,000-bale crop of
cotton will bankrupt half the farm-
era In the atate and hundreds of mer
chants," said a speaker at the South
ern Merchants' convention ana the
500 and more of the most progres
sive business men In Dixie gathereed
in the hall at tbe time subscribed
to the statement.
'Plant only so much cotton as can
be raised at a profit and devote the
remainder of your endeavor to tbe
raising of corn and other crops need
ed at home,'; said another speaker,
and the convention went on record
as believing that this Is the only
certain method of avoiding the. finan
cial strlgency which Is now following
in the wake of the South's record cot
ton crop." -:'
. Not only did the convention go on
record as believing that the reduc
tion of the cotton crop is the farm
er's only salvation in the matter of
better crops, but it went further and
adopted a resolution favoring tbe
Rock Hill plan of reduction, follow
ing strong addresses by prominent
men from different sections of the
state, sholng the absolute necessity
of drastic and immediate action to
remedy existing conditions relative
to the price of cotton.
When the meeting was called to
order there was hardly standing room
for the merchants who came
to Atlanta to discuss problems of In
terest, both to them and the farm
ers.
That another crop of cotton as
large as that of last year will bank
rupt almost half of . the farmers of
the South and hundreds of merchants
was, the opinion set out In a letter
from James M. Smith, and In the ad
dress of J. G. Anderson of Rock Hill,
8. C, the originator of the Rock Hill
plan for the reduction of cotton acre
age. " !v-".r.- '-'''
"U Is my candid opinion,4 said Mr.
Smith, tn hla letter, "that another
16,000,000-bale crop of cotton will
bankrupt half the farmer and thou
sands of business men in the South."
