Washington, D. C, Aug. 12. The
farm board called upon southern
planters to destroy one-third ot their
crop now under cultivation, promis
ing in return to bold stabilization
surplus stocks from the market for
one year.
Telegrams were dispatched to the
governors of 14 eottoii producing
states. urKinjr them to enlist co-operation
of every available agency, in
cluding farmers and hankers, in this
step to increase the low price of cot
ton. They were signed by Chairman
Stone, who conferred today with di
rectors of the cotton stabilization
corporation and the American Cotton
Co-operative associat ion.
Would Cut Supply.
Stone said if growers promised to
plow under every third row of cotton
now growing, the cotton co-operative
would be asked also to withhold
the two million bales it owns from
trade channels.
"This program," he ; ss. rted. "if
fully carried out by southern farmers
as well as by ourselves will mean
reduction of total supply by at les '
four million bales and withholding
from this year's market of three
million bales more."
The action followed by a few days
a government crop forecast in which
the 1031 cotton harvest was esti
mated at 15,584,000 hales, more than
1.500.000 above last year. Cotton
