Will Hold Cotton Until They
Get Their Price.
Want More Than Last Year
Act in Convention.

Salina, Kan, Sept. 4.-The high cost
of living will be higher as a result of
the action of the National Farmers
union here today in fixing the price at
which members will sell this year s
cotton crop at 10 cents a pound. The
present price is approximately II cents.
The action of the convention binds
every member of the union to hold his
cotton until the market reaches the
figure set. Although in the past
repeated efforts have been made to
have similar resolution passed by con-
ventions the advocates of the pro-
posal always failed to muster the nee
essary votes This year there was no
opposition to the plan. Several of the
leading cotton growers wanted the min
imum figure fixed at II cents or Is
cents pointing out that, owing to the
tightness of money and unsettled con-
ditions in Europe and this country
prices of all products would soar, and
cotton would bring that price if the
members of the union held out.
Experts employed by the union esti-
mate this years yield at 1904, 500
bales. Last year it was 14,200, 900
bales and the price averaged 2 cents.
There are nearly two million mem
berS OF the union who are cotton
growers, and leaders in the movement
members would be only too glad to
Join in holding the crop until it can
he marketed at ) cents d pound. The
minim UNI price at which cotton seed
viii be sold was fixed at $50 a ton and
members are pledged to hold out for
that figure. Last years price ranged
al ound $26, which is the present mar
ket figure.
Consolidation of rural schools as the
best method of improving the educa
tional system in rural communities
and thus making farm life more at
tractive was indorsed in a resolution.
The resolution called also for an in
crease in the length of the rural
school term and compulsory attend
ance.
Other resolutions adopted called for
a greater degree of protection for an
