The Planters Organize.
Southern Cotton Association is
Created, With State and Coun>
ty and Precinct Subdivisions,
to Regulate Production.
Financing and
Marketing.

New Orleans, Jan 26. With
the unanimous adoption of the
plan reported by It's committees
for permanent organization,
headed by Harvle Jordan, of
Georgia, rs president and E S
Peters of Texas as vice president,
the Southern Inter State cotton
convention finally closed its sue
cossful three days session tonight.
A committee of three was named
to confer with the president in the
matter Of the enlargement of the
American cottoA trade.
TO CONFER WITH MILL MEN.
At the afternoon session the
committee on closer relations be-
tween manufacturers and pro-
ducera made a report in the inter-
est of the elimination of the spec
ulator in cotton. The committee
said that the wide fluctuations are
alike disastrous to the manuiac-
turcr, making it impossible for
the manufacturer to promulgate
prices for cotton products based
on uniform cost of the raw staple
and for either the farmer or the
manufacturer to maintain his
prices. 1T was recommended, =,
therefore, that committe con-
slsting of one cotton producer
from each STATE be appointed to
confer with mill men, asking
that they join hands with the pro-
ducels in effecting plan whereby
the producer can sell his cotton
direct to the manufacturer, and
thereby eliminate the specuIator
from the market. The report
was adopted.
The report of the committee on
permanent organization followed.
1t provided for the creation of the
Southern Cotton Association, en-
bracing all the cotton production,
cotton supply and financing, and
especially cotton marketing, using

late plan to pool 100000
bales Of the present cotton crop,
and retire the same until afte,

A resolution by L G. Smith, of
South Carolina, was passed, provid-
ing for the appointment of an in
spector by each county in interest
of the effective carrying out of the
pledg to reduce acreage.
CENSUS DIRECTORS THANKED.
There had been very little in
the way of criticism of the govern
ment reports during the conven-
ton, and a resolution offered by
j A Brown of North Carolina
was unanimously adopted, exprest
ing it as the desire of the conven-
ton that the government report:
on Gotten statistics should be con
tinued. A resolution by Johr
Buswick of Georgia was passed
asking landowners who have
their land rented to agree to &C
cept as part payment for rem
ccrn, wheat, oats or any other sta
pie products at market prices
provided the tenant will reduc
his cotton acreage.
