can to check the farmers selling their
fall crop In advance, but 1t does not
seem that they are meeting with strtk-

buyers is that the price Is always low
er when the crops begins to come In
than II Is in the summer months. AZ
there is no cotton for sale at this time
| II Is difficult to arrive at just what 10
the present local price. Street buyers
say. however, that II any cotton We're
offered IT would bring at least 13i to
IA cents. The weekly papers report
the farmers selling for fall delivery at
from 10 to IL cents. A large farmer
here, however, was today offered ~
cents for his entire crop, and will
probably take 1t. "The association Of
ficers are making a tour Of the state
right now, with view to getting the
and the Farmers Union will work
along the same line" said Secretary
Weston. of the South Carolina asso-
citation today. This selling ahead OF
time before the association has fixed
price Is like slipping supplies from
our army to the enemy. The object OF
the buyers is to get enough contracts
ahead to be In position to dictate the
price. The general executive commit
tees meeting to determine upon the
minimum price will not be held for
several weeks but individual work
should be done right now" Associa-
ton meetings have been held at Laur-
ems, Lykesland and Sumter, and the
meeting today is at Orangeburg. The
