TEXAS’ FARMING OUTLOOK. APRIL 1.1905—COTTON REDUCTION.
Dallas, April 11.—The editor of the
Western Newspaper Union’s auxiliary
service has written to every country
publisher in Texas, asking for a sum-
mary of the general crop outlook, and
especially^with regard to reduction ln[ed acreage of corn, oats, potatoes and
1 truck gardening. The earlinees of
these inquiries have made exact an-
swers difficult. These answers are all
from leading newspaper publishers,
who are in closest touch with the
acreage ot cotton. The answers bear
an average date of April 1, and the
summary of the answers received are
given in the attached table. It is note-
worthy that there is a largely increas-

The following communication from
Manufacturer’s Record under date of
March 80, may be taken as some indi-
cation of the cotton average in some
other States:
Deep and active interest in the cam-
paign for a reduction of the acreage in
cotton this year, as shown by the
authorities of Southern States, led the
Manufacturers' Record this week to
wire to Governors of the Cotton States
asking for their opinion as to the ex-
tent of the reduction to be made. Gov-
ernor Vardanian, of Mississippi, has
entered upon a canvass of his State in
the interest of reduction, making di-
rect appeal to growers and others, and
Governor Blanchard, of. Louisiana, has
Issued an official call urging the grow-
ers to promote their individual inter-
ests, as well as the Interests of the en-
tire South, by planting a largely de-
creased area in cotton than that plant-
ed In 1904, and the bankers, merchants
and others to exert their influence In
behalf of such reduction. Such ac-
tions by State authorities, together
with the vigor with which other prom-
inent men throughout the South are
pressing the campaign, reinforce the
impressions favorable to reduction
given in the letters published by the
Manufacturers’ Record about a monh
ago from nearly a thousand Southern
bankers telling of plans in their re-
spective communities for a curtail-
•MJttt •* the acreage. Telegrams re-
-t
ceived from some of the Governors
will tend to strengthen the campaign.
They are as follows:
Governor James K. Vardaman, 01
Mississippi: “Your request for a re-
port on the question of the reduction
of cotton acreage in Mississippi has
been received. I am now making a
pretty thorough canvass of the State,
but I am not as well-prepared to an-
swer your question as I shall bo a lit-
tle later. However, I am sure that 1
am within the limits of conservatism
when I say that In Mississippi the cot-
ton acreage will be reduced not less
than 20 per cent. I believe it will go
to 25 per cent. The fanners are
greatly Interested In this matter, and
the work of campaigning has hardly
begun.”
Governor N. B. Broward, of Fiorina;
“I know of no reduction contemplated
by our farmers.”
Governor J. M. Terrell, of Georgia:
“At least 70 per cent of the chtton
growers will reduce their crop from
25 to 30 per cent. Twenty-five per
cent of the growers will make only a
nominal reduction. A reduction of 20
per cent is a conservative estimate.'
Governor S. W. T. Lanham, of Tex-
as: “It Is impossible to answer with
any certainty. Excessive rains have
affected the sowing of spring oats.
Corn planting has been delayed for the
came reason, and It Is not likely that
the usual acreage will be used for
corn. In consequence It Is not prob-
able that the cotton acreage will be
materially reduced.”
Governor D. C. Howard, of South-
Caiolina: “Answering your telegram
of inquiry, I do not feel warranted at

ties have prevented rr.y having the op-
portunity to obeeive the conditions of
the fields, and, consequently, such a
forecast would be merely a matter of
personal opinion. I should think that
the officers of the South Carolina
Growers’ Association, who have travel-
ed over the State, would be in a bet-

forecast. These officers report that
farmers are making the reduction as
pledged by them. I am in hearty
sympathy with the .Cotton Growers’
Association and the Important move-

turns out every seven days 1200 bar-
rels of sweet mash whiskey. The out-
put for the year would be 52,400 bar-
rels. The cost of all this to the manu-
facturers may be fairly estimated at
$374,400, and they receive from the
wholesaler a profit of from $1 to $2 per
barrel. The government comes in for
a nice little rakeoff, but the fellow who
has to pay It all, Including transporta-
tion charges, government and local
license fees, salary of barkeeper and
rent of buildings is the man before the
