the committee sessions the former
independents should hold the bal
ance of the 1910 unsold crop off
the market until the 1909 crop
was sold, and that this would tend
to bring about better prices for
that crop. 1t is believed that
a large majority of the poolers of
1909 are in favor of the cut-out
plan for 1911 and some action may
be taken that will put the matter
directly up to them at an early
date.
THE PLEDGE FOR A CUT-OUT.
