President Cabaniss has made one of the
best officials me Georgia division has
ever had. at the same time. it is one of
the bylaws or the unions constitution
that a state official cannot be president
OF the union.
The retirement OF President Cabaniss
win come as a source OF great regret to
the rank and file OF the union and the
reason of his resignation will be recog-
nized by all.
II was for the purpose of carrying out
this provision of the constitution that
the union met nearly a month earlier
this year. The annual conventions are
usually held in July, but the conven-

cessor might be named to President Caba-

other important matters before it. It

Among the questions Of vital interest
that viii be taken up win be the follow

plements.
Much attention win be paid to the
plans for more perfect market conditions
It is claimed by many that there Is too
much difference between the time OF pro-
duction and the time the product reaches
the consumer. 1t is intended in the future
to reduce all unnecessary delays in
shipments and marketing.
Plans viii be made by which the crop
can be marketed more regularly, so that
the market viii neither be stagnated nor
the crop be deteriorated. TherA will be
no war upon the middleman. but it will
be simply a question of aiding all par
ties concerned II is understood that the
union has received offers of cooperation
from the business world. and that the
union believes the time is now ripe for
such a movement

OF home products win also be carefully
gone over Recent statistics show that
the farmer OF the south is annually
sending away millions of dollars more
than he makes of OF his cotton for sup
plies and products that he could raise
at home. Efforts will be made TO have
the farmer patronize home industry more
and keep his money near at home.

be taken up. This will include the rails
ing or live stock at home. that the farmer
now goes into other fields for.

ton will be the most important held
