Cotton Growers Convention aims 25% cotton cut and price hold
The Southern Cotton Growers Convention at New Orleans reports a 25 percent reduction target in 1905 cotton acreage and a 25 percent cut in fertilizer use. Delegates from all southern states, bankers, and businessmen back the plan to hold cotton for better prices with bankers pledging cooperation. Ex Lieutenant Governor Jester presided as temporary chair, with Hon Harrie Jordan as permanent chair. Reports from acreage and financing committees outline a statewide meeting plan and signing of pledges to reduce planting and fertilizer use.
