Cotton is bringing 10 cents il
the Brookhaven market this morn

refuse to sell for anything under
10 cents. They will get it if they
will only hold their cotton, anc
may get more. Texas and Ala

stand and the farmers can contro
the market if they will act togeth
er and support the Southern Cot
ton Association.
