Southern Cotton Association
Fixes Minimum Price
CROP SHORTER THAN THOUGHT
After Two Days Deliberation Execu-
tive Committee Adopts Resolutions
Declaring That Crop Has Greatly
DeterIorated Since Aug. Is and
Urging All Southern Interests to
Stand For 10-Cent Cotton as a
Permanent Minimum.

Hot Springs, Ark, Spccial.-Thc
executive committee Of the Southern
Cotton Association late Friday after
noon recommended 10 its members
and cotton growers of the South that
no cotton be sold during The present
season at less than 10 cents per
pound. In resolution adopted by
the committee, it is stated that the
crop is III Il state of lctcrioraI ion.
and for that reason no estimate OF the
crop was made. The resolution states
however, that the committee is salts
fed that the crop will not he as large
as the current estimate. The placing
OF the minimum price ut 10 cents was
IN the nature of Il victory for the con
servative element of the association
The resolution adopted by the com
mittee, which is in the shape of an
address to the public, follows:
"lnusmuch as we, the cottoa grow
CHS OF the South, know that there has
been great deterioration in the cotton
crop since August 10, and,
of the members of this committee is
that the deterioration is still going
on, we deem it unwise to make m
estimate Of the crop at this time. We
are satisfied the crop will not be as
large as the current estimate.
1--WE therefore suggest and urge
upon all our members and producers
throughout the South not to sell theil
cotton at figure less than the cost
of production.
1--WE call unon all Southern in
tercsts to aid in maintaining for all
time this price as minimum. We
urge the necessity of marketing slow
iy and'only on an advancing market
and withdrawing all cotton from the
market at every decline"
The committee took up the charges
against Secretary Richard Cheathan
of dealing in futures while an officer
OF the association. After q spirited
debate, Ill which j. A. Brown. of
North Carolina, led the opposition
the committee decided to go in exc
cutlve session to consider the charges
MIR. Brown then left the room IN

and announced that he had refused
