The North Carolina division OF the
Southern Cotton Association Is sending
out the following letter:
1--WE deem it necessary to write TO
you in regard 10 the finances OF our
state division so that you can bring 1t
up at your meeting Saturday, April
It'll. The fund recently collected by
Chairman Dockery and President
Moore is about exhausted and we must
now rely on the receipts from the coun-
" divisions to meet expenses Presi-
dent Moore is still lin the field organic
ing the farmers in the cotton growing
counties and has q corps OF efficient
helpers in each county helping him.
This work to be effective must De
pushed just now. To fail at a vital
time like this for want of finances Is
not the North Carolina way OF doing
things. The bankers, merchants, nan
! ufacturers and others have contribute
| ed to carry on the work Of the associa-
ton now We ask the arner them
| selves to take up the work and push
il to a successful completion. This Is
| the first appeal we have made To the
county divisions and we trust and be-
| lieye it will meet with a prompt ana
| hearty from every one OF
| them. Please Immediately notify the
secretaries of your civil subdivisions
to make their financial reports TO the
county meeting Saturday and settle
with your treasurer so he a immedl-
ateIy remit to the treasurer of the state
division as required by the county con-
stitution under head Revenue page
II, a copy of which is enclosed. A tax
of three cents per bale is TO be sent TO
the state treasurer; the other as pro.
yided for under the head of Revenue
In this connection we desire TO con-
graduate the farmers of the south and
every southern industry and interest
for the fine work done by the associa-
tion. President Jordan and h OH
GERS Of the state divisions have been
untiring i'm their efforts to induce the
farmers to reduce the acreage TO De
nlanted in cotton and increase the
acreage to be planted in other crops.
How well they have succeeded Is told
bv the daily advance in the price OF
cotton which is now worth $500 TO
81 90 per bale more han it was a week
ago with fine prospects of still further
advance. This should encourage every
member of the association ana NIX
him in his determination to stand BY
the organization. With cotton nov
selling for $1,000 per bale more thar II
would be selling for if there was nc
organization among the cotton farm
ers we cannot see how any grower
of cotton can refuse to unite with ths
association, help push its WORK ah'
give a hearty response 10 us ever!
call.
please bring this matter before you
people Saturday, and insist on lnlue
. date action. Without aid the state Oil
vision will soon be in an embarrasslh
condition. 1t is the desire of the ex
~ec1tive committee to keep Mr.. Moor
in the field. To do this his salary an
will have to be met; ana III
members of the association are the ON
; persons we have any claim on to NEE
these and other necessary expenses.
