 T am eligible to address a crowd of farmers because l myself am farm CT, having cotton farms in Texas and Arkansas. This year the boil weevii got my cotton in Arkansas and the orouth in Texas. As a further qual- Ication I may say that l am 'agin the trusts
 q want to speak to you briefly on the importance of taking care of the crop after it is made and ginned ana before it is ready for sale Many farm CTS hold cotton in the lint by dump ing it on the ground and letting it lie there several months asbsorb ing water and contracting country damages under the impression that they are going to unload lot of water or some- body at price the same as cotton Don't fool yourself The man who buys this cotton has to be responsible at the business end of the line or at the mill and has to make good all grades sold by him. Consequently, MT. Cot ton Buyer gets busy picking off coun- try damage and does not know where to get off whole then-neither does the owner of the cotton. I want to sec cotton as well cared for as a 15 cent bale of hay and then all this trouble over country damage will be avoided.
