South Carolina Seeks Cotton Reduction Law Passed
The Act limits cotton acreage to one third, with two thirds devoted to grain and other crops, aiming to cut 1916 cotton production after the large 1914 crop and due to wartime price declines. It promotes home-grown supplies and raises penalties of 26 to 100 dollars per acre for violations. The campaign is led by agriculture officials under the banner Raise Supplies and Live at Home. The notice also mentions several local marriages and a lecture event at the Estherville Methodist Church titled The Challenge of the Hour.
