Johnsons Call on Georgia Farmers to Cut Acreage
President M L Johnson of the Georgia division of the Southern Cotton Association sends letters to county officers urging active participation in a critical acreage reduction campaign. Meetings last Tuesday spurred Georgia farmers to face the surplus, with a likely 3 000 000 bale carryover from last year and prices tied to the extent of reductions. Each cotton grower must cut at least 25 percent, and county officers are asked to mobilize earnest canvassing to pledge participation and reduce the surplus for better prices this year.
