times defend and protect the
cotton growers of the South in
maintaining a fair and profitable
minimum price for their staple"
With reference to the unwil-
lingness of the committee to
make an estimate of the crop,
Mr.. Jordan SAID:
''The reports that are being
sent out over the country with
reference to any forecast of the
yield of the present crop by the
committee are very misleading.
The committee did not make up
any statistical crop report because
it regarded it as too early in the
season to undertake to make an
estimate of the yield. The COM
mittee, however, was thoroughly
satisfied from the information
submitted by different commit
teemen from the various states,
based upon fairly accurate data
which they had gathered, that a
heavy deterioration has taken
place in the fruitage of the crop
throughout the belt during the
past two weeks and the commit
tee was well satisfied that the
yield of the crop this season
would be under the private
estimates which are now being
issued. Later in the season the
association will gather full and
complete data with reference to
probable yield of the crop and
issue it for the benefit of the
members of the association. The
only thing that the committee
is thoroughly agreed on at the
present time is that no
cotton. basis middling, should be
placed on the market and sold
for less than 10 cents per pound,
and the entire cotton growers of
the South are appealed to for the
purpose of moving the crop
slowly and thereby reducing the
supplies to such an extent in the
near future that the demands of
mills will create an advance to
the minimum price of 10 cents.
as fixed by the committee"
In order that the people may
be reached and the resolution
fixing the minimum price at 10
cents may be thoroughly can
vassed and that an appeal may
be made directly to the cotton
growers, the committee decided
to hold meetings in the different
cotton raising states at which

ID. Smith, of South Carolina; S.
A. WInterspoon, of Mississippi;

of the resolution:
"It is for the purpose of taking
care Of distressed cotton, and BY
distressed cotton | mean cotton
that is forced on the market by
people who are unable to finance
cotton and are unable to liquidate
maturing obligations. The cor.
poration proposes to go into the
markets and buy UP this class Of
cotton when it is being offered al
prices below the minimum fixet

held by the corporation until thu
market advances to the minimum
price. The cotton will be stored

cotton should be sold below
the bread and meat line, which is
10 cents.
''In fixing 10 cents per pound
as the limit below which it should
not be sold. we have no reference
to the size of the crop or any
