it is up to the county boards OF equal

figures given. The attorney general
has expressed himself freely about
what the law means, but today when
in discussing the method the board
employed, stated that it would be
left for the counties to determine.
Appeals will lie from the county
boards to the district court. and from
the district court TO the supreme court
in cases of dissatisfaction, but such
suits will affect the individual cases
only. Counties, the attorney general
held, have no right to settle taxes
on a less figure than that fixed by
the state board. 1t has been done,
however IN some counties, and he
said today that as soon as he could
get the information together he would
bring suits to collect the remainder

Davis, Okla, July 2S-"This will
be the biggest cotton crop ever raised
in the Washita valley" declared O.
T. Simon today. an expert sent here
from New Orleans to report on con
ditions in Oklahoma for a syndicate
of cotton buyers. Il predict the aver
age along the Washita, including the
second bottom lands, will average
very close to a bale per acre" To-
clared Mr., Simon, in speaking to tire
cashier OF the Oklahoma State bank
today.
Speaking of the possible danger
from oyer-growth along the lowlands
of the Washita valley, Mr.. Simon
said:
In some localities the cotton is
inter-locking across the rows and COM
pletely obscuring the Sunshine, which
may prove dangerous to some extent,
but | have advised a number of cot
ton planters to top it, which will in
sure burner yield. Recent rains
have made the cotton crop in Okla
homa and Texas, and June corn may
yet prove to be a winner Farmers
should smile over the outlook I find
many old "grouchers" who still keep
up the calamity howl. Fortunately
for the Washta valley, so far as
have been able to Judge, YOU have but
few calamity howlers. North Texas
seems to harbor the greater number.

.FARMRES WILL HOLD
COTTON FOR A
HIGHER PRICE
Definite Arrangements Will Be
Made When Final Reports
Are Made
Says a special to the New Or

Says a special to the New Or
leans Item:
Many, La, Sept. 5. Arrange
ments have been made to finance
the plans of the Farmers Union
to hold their cotton for higher
prices. President I. N. McCol-
lister of the Louisiana Farmers
Union stated to an Item CORES
pondent to-day. The plan is for
the farmers to take their cotton
to local Farmers, Union ware
house and take a receipt and a
check for $40 for each bale left
there. These receipts will be
deposited in the local bank. The
check will be forwarded to the
men who are financing the crop
and the money will be sent the
bank for the depositors of the
receipt.
According to telegraphic re-
ports received from the various
local unions, the farmers will
hold approximately 140, 600 bales
for higher prices. This estimate
is based on a statement made by
Srate President McCollister of
the Farmers Union that the
farmers would hold practically
so per cent of the states yield.
The meetings held by the Far
mers' Union locals were the re-
suit of a call for same by the
president last week for the far
mers to get together and furnish
an estimate of what each indi-
vidual farmer would or could af-
ford to undertake to hold for
higher prices. These meetings
were attended by non-niembers
as well. These locals had also
been instructed to telegraph this
information to President McCol-
lister. The reports indicated the
farmers had taken much interest
in the matter.
