Pledge From Farmers For Cotton Reduction May Defeat Price Plan If the cotton planters of the south will send letters to Washington prom ising to reduce their 1917 cotton acre age by 10 per cent for the production of food, that movement will result, it is thought, in the absolute defeat of those who are trying to regulate the price of cotton for 1918. L. B. Jackson, director of the state marketing bureau, has addressed circu lars to every member of that body, en listing their support in the movement He suggests that the farmers write their letters Immediately and address them to E. A. Calvin, National hotel, Washington, who Is representing the southern farmers at the national capital. Bills have been introduced In con gress to put cotton under the food con trol bill for the reduction in its price. The bill has been opposed by southern planters and southern representatives in congress, but the united action of the farmers is needed to defeat it, says Mr Jackson. "Probably the deciding point as to whether the government will put cotton under the food administration and au thorize some one to place a price upon it,” writes Mr. Jackson, “will be the question of whether or not the cotton farmer is going to decrease his acreage of cotton and increase his acreage of food and feedstuffs.” Insane Husband Kills Wife With a Shotgun RICHMOND, Va„ Feb. 5.—R.

Stubbs, of Middlesex’ county, member of the house of delegates, received a telephone message this morning from Saluda advising him of the murder near that piace yesterday of Mrs. Leslie Carter, aged nineteen, member of a prominent family, who was slain by her husband.
