ALABAMA WILL PLANT GRAIN
That the farmers of Alabama are
preparing to plant half of thla year’s
cotton acreage In grain that cannot
possibly be gathered before the time
for making a cotton crop next year,
is the announcement of J. T. Watt of
Talladega, in charge of government
farm demonstration work .In Alabama.
"This fall, according to all indica
tions. Alabama will sow 1,000,000 acre*
of land planted in cotton last spring
In oats. Over 200,000 acres will be
planted In clover, and just as much
w’heat will be planted as seed can b*j
obtained."
Mr. Watts believes that th* farmer*
themselves are going to work out the
cotton problem by reducing by over 50
jwr cent the cotton acreage. "Just is
scon as 50 per cent of cotton land 1*
planted in grain that absolutely as
sures a curtailment of the cotton
acreage, the cotton situation will work
out automatically,” said Mr. Watt.
"The surplus of this year’s crop in
that event would soon be sought by
the spinners at normal prices.”
