participate IN any advance in price to
the extent of three-fourths of the rise
in the market.
ut Is calculated that by the pros
ent ordinary holding process, tho
farmer takes all chances of & rise In
the market. BY this plan he takes no
more chances than he did before. and
has every opportunity OF maximum
participation In rise In tho market,
meantime paying the debts he has to
pay and saving the losses sustained BY
damage and by loss of weight
and warehousinG charges.
Avoid Violation Of Law.
provision Is made against any ap-
parent violation OF the Sherman law,
In that each State committee named
by the Governor or tho Commissioned
OF Agriculture Of each State has the
right to name the day OF sale, If cot
ton reaches IL or 10 cents, which ac-
cording to those gathered here gives
onyl close, legitimate profit to tho
cost Of production.
"Of course, everything depends on
the individual farmer In connection
with his pledge to reduce acreage the
coming year. The individual farmer
alone can make success possible.
"Thc undertaking is fathered by q
number of bankers. of whom Colonel
Robert 81. Thompson is the head, he
being n widely known bull and of tho
firm OF S. II. p. Pell Sc Company,
| bankers and cotton men. and hevins
all necessary machinery for carrying
on the business. The committeeman
here have been assured by a number
OF the strongest banks In New York
OF thorough backing of these already
strong interests.
The gentlemen. here. as well as
President Barry, OF the National
Farmera' Union. believe the plan ao-
ceptable to the growers, and they
will present II to their people and
II 1t be agreeable to the producers.
It will be put in Immediate opera ton.
Senator Bailey. OF Texas. has been
advising as TO the legal aspects OF
the occasion"
f. W. Cotton. commenting on the
plan tonight. said: I'VE nave care
fully considered the whole in all its
aspects. can't say what the grow :
crs are going to do. The financial
end is strong. II holds out prospects
of fine results and estops any effort
at corner of the market. 1t seems
to insure an honest price for cotton.
which Is the very keystone OF Ameri-
con finance. Some one besides the
farmer may make some money out of
Il: but as that Is done, the farmer
IS baing assured several dollars a
bale more than he would get under
the present Ubiquitous marketing me tn
odsods. We are. therefore. willing to
submit and recommend the PROPOSE
tion TO our people. and If they wish
to accept It then make K as effective
as we can. There is no doubt the
overproduction pledge that we have
been pushing SO successfully has
, checked the downward tendency Of
prices under the persistent hammering
up to this time. So far we have
fought the battle unaided: now that
money to the extent Of $4,000, 900 Is
offering. we may fight harder. and in
the end. we hope, put check to
| methods OF marketing of n nationally
important commodity which the Fed
eral government ought to have wiped
out long ago"

Catarrh is q frequent cause of kid

Sometimes the catarrh is SO slight as to
cause no attention. Other times itleadl

Any remedy capable of mitigating
the catarrh is q much more rational
treatment than to give palliatives that
