THE WAGONER TRIBUNE THURSDAY FEBRUARY 17 1927
Cotton Acreage Reduction
Throughout the cotton belt
during the past few years the
number of acres planted to cotton
has been ' enormously increased
in Oklahoma and Texas practical
ly doubled since 1910 This has
resulted in creating a surplus at
this time represented by a carry-
over of from 7 to 9 million bales
which is that much more cotton
than the markets of the world can
use at a cost of production price
The present price of cotton rep-
resents the penalty for what is
now conceded to have been an
unwise policy as declared by ed-
ucational industrial financial
agricultural and economical ex-
perts throughout the United
State Outstanding leaders in
Oklahoma who are urging cotton
acreage reduction represent edu-
cational civic agricultural indus-
trial interests and the various
marts of trade most vitally inter-
ested in promoting the general
well being of not only the cotton
farmer but of all citizens whose
interests are contingent upon the
status of the cotton industry and
this designation includes to a
greater or lesser degree every
person living in Oklahoma
The most plausible economic
remedy for the present condition
of the cotton market as unani-
mously prescribed by expert
economists is very drastic reduc-
tion of acreage planted to cotton
during 1927 Application of this
remedy is entirely under the con-
trol of the cotton farmer and it
is believed that he will be guided
by the advice which has been so
widely broadcast from every an-
gle To enable national and state

opportunity to pledge himself to
co-operate in this movement and
prior to January 15 1927 prac-
tically one million farmers in Ok-
lahoma Texas and other- states
had signed the pledges to reduce
their cotton from 25 to 50 per
cent in 1927 Results of the cam-
paign in Oklahoma have checked
to a very fair average with other
states and this indicates that Ok-
lahoma this new state is running
true to the form which during
the past decade has developed
Oklahoma from mediocrity until
its present rank as a factor in the
cotton industry is second only to
the state of Texas

cotton and devote his acres and
