Need of Governors, Conference

.The governors of the cotton growing states should come together promptly for conference on the south's cotton crop probem.v said a former cotton man.
 'The need for it is all too evident
 Congress and the southern representa- lives who have already taken some pro- farmer steps, can better act if they have the advice and practical cooperation of not only the governors. but also the state secretaries of agriculture.
 Now is the time to push the warrant warehouse system. Let the states take charge of the issuing of warehouse re ceipts in form, to bonded warehouse. storing only duly certified cotton. This cotton to he properly dried, classed ant weighed. Then let Congress order the Secretary of the Treasury to arrange fol loans on these receipts. at. say pel cent. the banks to pay per cent for tn, currency the loans to be for, say si, months, with the privilege of a renewa for six months longer. This would carr, l distressed cotton to September l. 1915 the time of moving of yet another crop
 "The world. under normal conditions will require about sixteen million bales O American cotton. After the war, thi demand will be just as great as t, amount, and very great as to urgency
 There is nowhere else in the world tha 1 1t may be attained except in the south | ern states.
 Already the finger of fate points |, I the final result. Let's see how the coun tries already aligned in war and sym pathies compare as to spindles. Ther are approximately 140,00000o spindles il
