The Cotton Convention held in New Orleans on February fourth passed resolutions calling for the reduction of one third of the acreage for nineteen nineteen. A big meeting will be held in Raleigh on the eleventh of this month, and meetings in every county and township in the State at a later date. We have our plans well under way, and it would seem unnecessary to attend a second convention in New Orleans.

February twenty-second will be observed as set out in your telegram.
