REDUCING COTTON ACREAGE
A Few Practical Suggestions to
Farmers on the Plan to Re
duce Cotton Acreage.
“What do .you think of the pro
posed reduction of cotton acreage ;
for the year 11*05 f” is an inquiry i
frequently made by farmers, but I
not so easily answered. It de
pends on conditions. If the ob
ject is to reduce the acreage in or
der to put more labor on the area
cultivated in cotton and thus pro-1
duce a better crop, the policy is!
wise and should be generally fol
lowed. If the object is to cut
! down the acreage solely for the
■ purpose of increasing the price of;
I cotton, it is questionable, and es-1
pecially as this request is accom- j
panied by a resolution to reduce j
the amount of fertilizers by 251
per cent. It looks like a sugges- j
tion to make a poor crop to in-1
crease the price.
This poor crop policy is one of}
f »v* net iloiiitiirimr I muc aI url I' loo ■
that could be given to the farmer.
No farmer ever made any money
by following the poor crop sys
tem of agriculture. A large num
ber of reports were secured last
year from reliable farmers in
Louisiana and Texas, covering the
question of the cost of production
of cotton, and it appears from
these reports that an average cost
of lint cotton per pound, where
the crop averaged a bale to the
acre was 4.80. If the product fell
to half a bale the cost of produc
tion increased to 7cents per pound;
and the same reports show where
one third of a bale the average
cost is 0.10, and at one-fourth of
a bale, cost is 11 cents. With de
creased production below one
fourth of a bale the cost rapidly
increased.
In these estimates of cost every
thing is allowed at a reasonable
cash value, including rent of land,
use of teams, tools, etc. These
costs are all averages. Some far
mers may make cotton at a less
and some at a greater cpst.
The startling lesson that these
tiguress teach is that the average
farmer has not been making any
money raising cotton, because as
shown by the census report the
average crop has been but little
over one third of a bale per acre,
costing, on our statement, 9.10
per pound, which is above the
average price. This class of far
mers, and all making a less crop
have produced cotton by reducing
the wage to which they are entit
led, or the comforts of life which
justly belong to them and their
family, or the education which our
civilization demands of every ciu
zen, and in general, they have re
duced all of them.

1 I IV. | 'I UVVIVWI
ed is, let every farmer raise the
best cotton crop possible, because
this is the only line of profit. If
you averaged less than half a bale
per acre, better go out of the cot
ton business. This applies to ev-1
ery farmer who is making cotton |
on his own account and wants to
prosper. To men who are rent
ing their land for a share, it is of
the highest importance to secure a
good crop, and a tenant must
make a better average than he has
in the last ten years or his future
is not very brilliant. There are
certain fixed charges in the pro
duction of all crops that are prac
tically the same whether the crop
isdarge or small, such as, renting
of land, breaking, seed, plowing'
and cultivating, and in general, all
j items incident to the production
| of the crop except harvesting.
To these must be added family
expenses where a man works his
j own crop. From a mUey stand
point the most essential problem
! in farming is how to make a large
crop economically, and the great
er the crop the greater the econo
my as a rule.
There is more profit in reducing
the acreage and producing a bale
per acre than in planting the
whole land and harvesting one
third of a hale. The difference
between planting 300 acres to cot
ton and getting one-third of a bale
per acre or planting 100 acres and
getting a bale per acre is $2,150 in
•ost in favor of the less acreage
md larger crop.
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.
After the defeat of Judge Par
ker in the last presidential election
William J. Bryan declared for
national and state ownership of
trunk and branch railroads re
spectively and city ownership of
public utilities.
The recent overwhelming Dem
ocratic victory in Chicago, which
he Democrats won on the issue of
municipal ownership of the street
jar lines and other public utilities.
s in line with the declaration of
Mr. Bryan, and the Arkansas Ga
zette thinks that in the presiden
tial campaign of lhOS the tariff,
Mirrency, imperialism and other
purely political issues will be lost
>ight of and that public ownership
kvill be thrust to the forefront.
SOTHERN COTTON
ASSOCIATION NOTES.
There can be no stronger orga
nization than one composed of the
farmer, the merchant and the
ranker.
Gov. Jeff Davis is making
speeches in various parts of the
;tate in favor of the Association.
Over one third of the state is
"tow organized into the Southern
Jotton Association.
Every man who has the well
fare of the South at heart should
join the Association, wear one of
its emblems and do his utmost for
die success of the movement in
tis vicinity.
The Southern Cotton Associa
tion stands for higher prices for
•otton, more extended markets,
nore manufactures in the South
ind a more thorough organization
)f the people of the South than
las ever been before.
Every man in every trade, busi
less and profession in this state is,
md should be, vitally interested
n the success of this movement
:or the protection of the cotton
ilanter, for on the price of cotton
•ests the prosperity of every busi
less interest in the state.

FIRE AT THE BLIND SCHOOL
Boys Dormitory at State Blind
School at Little Rock Burned
Last Saturday.
Little Rock, April 13.—The
l boys’ dormitory at the Arkansas
School for the Blind at Eighteenth
and Spring streets was partially
destroyed by lire about 7 o’clock,
yesterday morning. Only the ab
sence of the students from the
building, it is believed, prevented
a loss of life, as it would have
been extremely difficult to remove
all the boys in safety. There
were .‘is students in the building,
but at the time of the tire they
were at breakfast in the main
building.
The building, which is a three
story brick structure, was so bad
ly damaged that it practically will
have to be rebuilt. The third
story was completely destroyed
and the second was badly damaged.
The loss is estimated at about £3,
000, which is fully covered by in
surance. Secretary John II. Page
of the state board of charitable in
inns sf.af.pd lust', niorlit that, flu*
state carries about $2,900 insur
ance on this building. In addition
to this there is about $900 insur
ance on the contents.
The lire was discovered about 7
o’clock by W. L. High, a teacher
in the school, and he immediately
gave the alarm. Mr. High then
went to the third floor to awaken
Thomas Lane, the nightwatchman,
who was the only other occupant
of the building at that time. Mr.
High was unable to awaken Lane
for some time and before they
were ready to descend the upper
part of the building was in flames.
They managed to reach a balcony
and climbed down the posts to the
ground from the third story. Mr
High was slightly burned on the
arms.
The tire department made a
quick run to the scene and in a
short time had two streams on the
tire. The pressure was weak,
owing to the fact that the stand
pipe was empty, repairs being
made on the pipe, but emergency
pumps were pressed into service
and satisfactory pressure was se
cured. By the time the tire was
brought under control the entire
upper part of the building had
been burned. Most of the oc
cupants of the building lost their
personal belongings, but most of
the contents was the property of
the state. A trunk containing a
large sum of money was in the
room of Lee Mayhan, but when
the tire was extinguished the trunk
was found undamaged.
The origin of the tire is not
known. It started in a closet on
the second floor, but it is not
known what caused it. There had
been no lire in the building, as it
was heated from a central steam
heating plant.
The building will be rebuilt, but
it is not believed that it will be
necessary to secure an appropria
tion for that purpose.
Peter Fabro died at Hartford
from injuries received in the ex
plosion which occurred in one of
the mines of the Central Coal and
Coke Company last week. T. .1.

scious b.v the after-damp, but re
i covered. There were fifteen men

occurred, and for a time fear that
they had all perished led to the
greatest excitement.
