Washington, Aug. 12--~The Farm
Bodtd today called upon seotSsiris
2 planters to destroy one-third of their
I* ?f>P now oudtf cultivation, pronuS"
__ ing in return to hold stabilisation sur
plus stocks from the market for one
year.
Telegrams were- dispatched to the
governors of 14, cotton producing
states, urging them to enlist the co
operation of e very^a vailable agency,
including farmers/and bankers, in this
dramatic step to increasb the low
price of cotton.
- They were signed by Chairman
.Stone, who conferred today With di
rectors of the Cotton Stabilisation
Corporation and the American Coop
' erative Association. Stone.said if the
governors promised to plow under ev
- ery third row of cotton now~groiring,
the cotton cooperatives would be
asked to withhold the 2,000,000 bales
it owns from trade channels. -
"This program,"" be asaerted, "if
- fully, carried out by Southern farmers,
as well as by ourselves, will mean a
reduction at total supply by at toast
4,000,000 hades and withholding from
this year's market of S,OO>,0M hales,
. more."- :..w ' 'H
The action followed by 1i. few days!
a government crop forecast in which
the 1931 cotton harvest was estimated
at 15,584,060 bales, "more than 1,500,
000 above last year. Cotbta prices
on every exchange mediate^
dropped
A few: hoars before the telegrams
' were aent* it was announced Atexan
der Legge, former chairman of the.
Farm Board, had been elected a direc
tor at large of the. stabilization cor-,
po ration. Wheat and cotton stabilK
zation operations with the . board's
$500,000^00 revolving fond were ini
tiated uader his ehaftmanalup and be
has, been m cloze touch wilh all de

tails.
The proposal to plow under- every
third r?w of cotton was advanced yes:
terday by Governor Bilbo, at MissifH
sippi.
Stone, in his telegrams te the Govt
emora of Alabama, Arizona, Arkan
sas, California,Florida, Georgia,
Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico,
North Carolna, Tennessee and Texas,
estimated the probable carry over a
year from ^ow under present condi
tions would he about 11,000,000.
"This condition," he said, "occurs
in spite of the 10 per cent reduction
in acreage last spring. 1$. has al
ready resulted in drastic price de
clines in cotton prices which, & al
lowed to continue, may bring direct
disaster to cotton producing states.

"The board recognizes," Stone add
ed, "that- this suggestion calls for
drastic remedy for serious emergen?
cy, but commends to you the thought
that a major operation ofthjslond
rather than attempts at lesser meas
ures is "bow needed.
The program would be .put into ef
fect .September 1, and be competed
September 15. the Governm#rwere
urged to- respond hnmediatelj^ stat

The suggestion was regarded here
as tHe board's-most important nmye
since stabilization operations were
attempted in 1929. At that tinie 1,
300,000 bales of. cotton were bought
at an average price of a bale in
an effort to steady sagging pricer,.
