The so-called "dry-rot' of ear corn
which has long been recognized, owes
IT'S name TO the manner in which the

the husks tend to turn prematurey

partially or wholly shriyeled ana
much decreased in weight
Sometimes the ears remain uprlght
with the husks closely adhering 10
them In other cases the shanks are
weakened and the affected ears hans
linn from their attachment or the as

RESOLUTIONS OF COTTON AsSo.
CATION.
Passed at the Memphis Convention,
November 10.

Moved that q permanent committee
of three be appointed by the chair
having power to fill vacancies therein,
whose duties it shall be to secure all
available state organization, and
individual aid they can approve for
the purposes below stated, and at
their discretion to merge with SINH
lar committees from other organiza-
tons.
They shall establish headquarters
and, adopt such form Of organization
and such rules as may be required
to canvass each cotton growing coun-
try in the South.
They shall procure pledges from the
cotton farmer that they will produce
sufficient food and feed or something
other than cotton to exchange these
necessities, publishing their names in
their respective counties or otherwise
as they deem best.
They shall procure all possible aid
from the State and National Agricul-
tural Institutions to aid our people
in correctly and profitably utilizing
every unit ef human energy in the
South
They shall collect and disseminate
available information and statistics
that viii further and protect our COZ

They shall encourage the dealings
in spot cotton instead of future con
tracts. if for no other reason than
because IoH.=rates of interest, insur-
ance and warehousing will enable the
purchaser TO carry approximately as
much spot cotton as future contracts
thereby stimulating instead of depres-

They shall from time to time recon-
mend to cotton growers such concert
Of action as in their opinion will re-
suit in The common good.

nit to this meeting plans for making
