FIX PRICE
 OF COTTON
FARMERS UNION NAMED A. CENTS FOR SEPTEMBER AND
 OCTOBER AND 15c. AFTER.
Said That Every Union Votina in the Referendum Were in Favor of Holding Out for Their
 Prices.

Shawnee, Sept. 6.-This years cot ton crop will be sold for fourteen Icents during September and October and fifteen cents thereafter. This was the agreement of the cotton growers on the South attending the National Farmers Union meeting here tonight. The organization went in to executive session this afternoon. Ut is said the vote of every union in the referendum election being held has been in favor of the holding plan.
 Little of the proceedings of the union was made public today, at. though aside from the price. tho farmers ask for their cotton, good roads, parcels post and dabbling In cotton futures will be discussed by the convention.
 Members of the union say parcels post will be favored by the farmers and that the delegates will endorse the Scott anti gambling" bill, pro- 'hibiting the use of the mails or in terstate commerce for the furtherlng of contracts for the delivery of cot ton, where there is no intent to make actual delivary. The report of the Live Stock Commission urges diver sified farming and stock raising and contains the statement that 1,00O- 900 additional milch COWS and an equal number of motner sows prac tdcally distributed ltIhroughou: the South would easily add s1O a bale to the prica of cotton crops.
