The Carnesville Herald September 6, 1931
Eugene Talmadge, commissioner of agriculture, will speak to the people of this 
section on the cotton problem at the courthouse in Elberton on next Saturday 
afternoon at two o'clock. Those interested are invited to hear him discuss this 
important subject.

Commissioner Talmadge attended conference called by Governor Long of Louisiana a 
short time ago and is advocating the Long Plan for the cotton states to pass a law 
prohibiting the planting of any cotton next year. Talmadge believes this will 
force the price of cotton to above twelve cents.

He has made speeches in many places during the past ten days and many farmers and 
business men have petitioned the Governor to call an extra session to pass the law 
in Georgia. Louisiana has already passed the bill and Governor Long is urging 
other cotton states to do likewise.
