'
Memphis.-In monster meeting OF
Memphis bankers, merchants, bust.
ness and professional men held at the
Memphis Business Mems Club Aug.
IL, H. M. Cottrell, manager of the
newly organized Farm Development
Bureau OF the club, outlined the plan
OF reclamation work to be pursued
and called on 1000 Memphis men to
assist him in this work. Assurance
was readily given that the assistance
asked would be given.
The meeting was attended by fully
500 Of the most prominent business
and professional men of the city.
Mr.. Cottrell, who is a well-known
farm expert, has been engaged by
the club to conduct campaign
throughout the Mississippi basin to en-
courage greater productiveness OF the
farming lands.
As outlined by Mr. Cottrell at the
meeting, the bureau will undertake
to start production on thousands Of
acres OF fertile bottom land that is
at the present lying idle.
Another important development
which will be initiated is that of the
production OF pork, beef and poul-
try. 1t is claimed that where now
millions of dollars of the South's
money Is going into the northern
markets for these food supplies they
can be raised more cheaply and more
probably in tie South.
II the plans now under, considera.
ton by the Memphis Business Mems
Club materialize, 1t is predicted that
within the next year or so there will
be several large packing plants in
Memphis
The active campaign Of education
among the rural business men and
farmers surrounding Memphis will be
begun Aug. 16 when Mr.. Cottrell and
a committee of prominent business
men of Memphis will begin tour
