MEET TO DISCUSS
THE COTTON CROP.
National Executive and General Conven-
ton Of Growers At Dallas.

Atlanta, Ca. Feb. Sin all the
state capitals of Dixie the hosts of
Cotton are meeting today to discuss
plans for marketing and handling
the crop of the feecy staple in
1908. The sessions are the regular
annual conventions of the state
divisions of the Southern Cotton
association, AN organization COM
posed of the leading cotton planters
of the South. State officers will
be elected at each of the various
meetings and programs mapped
out for pressing forward the work
of the association.
The session of the national
executive committee and the
general convention of the associa-
ton will be held in Dallas, Texas,
later i'll the month, and delegates
will be elected from each cotton
state at today's meetings.
The primary object of the South
ern Cotton association is maintain
ing the price of cotton, and in this
purpose, with the assistance of the
Farmers union, it has been
remarkably successful. Since the
association was organized cotton
has steadily gained in price and
the two organizations of cotton
planters have become economically
the most influential agricultural
bodies in the world.
