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.
