would bring him in three times the amount
of profit for the same outlay, has the world OF

There is absolutely no such thing in IL these

themselves to take care OF their surplus pro

There 10 no getting around the fact that the
growers OF cotton should have the aid OF mos'
all other business occupations in the South
70 back them in their efforts TO maintain
profitable prices for cotton in the %heginDlne
Of the season, and IL Is TO the mutual beneff,
OF our whole interest to do IL.
As cotton is king we should like the name
"Southern Cotton Association"
The business farmer need not lose any
prestige, manhood or anything by his par
tictpation In q cotton conference for The
good Of the whole country. In fact the Far
mer's Union men could gain much business
knowledge by this rubbing up against busl
ness men In other occupations.
1.-THE Cotton Association could purge from
Its membership all that cotton gambling ele-
ment, NO doubt Farmers Union men could
then claim kin with them and join In with
them with some degree Of confidence in
m maintaining profitable prices for cotton.
