A public notice from the American Cotton Association calls on Cotton Growers in the region to limit production in 1921. It urges farmers to plant no more than one third of land in cotton, reduce overall cotton output by 50 percent, and shift to growing corn and other foods. Large farmers should plant no cotton. others should limit to half of 1920 production. The message stresses conserving resources, raising hogs and poultry, and living at home to restore cotton prices and protect the South’s economic future.
