i'T 1T OF Farmers Union State
icents' Association Calls on
Southern Congressman.

Fort Worth, Texas, Oct. Henry
n. Pope, president Of the Farmers,
Union State Presidents association.
has submitted to all Southern MEM
pers OF congress the suggestion that
congress fix or empower the federal
reserve board to fix minimum loan
price OF II cents per pound on cot
ton Tor all crops. A large majority
OF the replies from senators and rep
resentatives favor the plan and Mr..
Pope stated today that he would call
special meeting of his association
In New Orleans at an early date to
give it final consideration and work
out the details.
Many members of congress have
expressed their Willingness to give the
movement their cooperation. Among
the numerous communications receiv-
ed by President Pope was one from
senator HardwiciS of Georgia saying:
i can not see for a moment kyhy
this board should not be authorized
TO fix minimum price on which cot
Ton loans should be accepted. I am
already giving this subject careful con-
slderation and hope that at an early
date something effective and reason
able may be worked out along the
line OF your suggestion"
Representative T. w. Sims of Ten
nessee writes: 81 am in hearty SYM
pathy with this proposition and / shall
oe Glad to do all I can to secure the
legislation needed just as soon as con-
gress convenes in December. You
can rely upon me without any sort
of hesitation to give this or kindred
legislation active and earnest sup
port"
representative Otis Wingo of Ar
kansas states: II shall be glad TO do
anything can toward amending the
federal reserve act along proper lincs
With view of facilitating credits
& -. -
greater freedom in the marketing of
his cotton.
President Pope states that there
should be a careful distinction be-
tween the loan minimum and the SELL
ing minimum Of cotton. "The loan
minimum should be protected by the
L
would Of course never be sold below
that point. The selling minimum is
one that the union advises it's members
to sell and may vary from crop to
crop or from time to time. With a
protected loan minimum of IL cents
the selling minimum of 20 cents can.
be more easily maintained The gov
ernment would never be called upon
to put up one cent under this plan for
when q. farmer knows he cen borrow,
y cents per pound on cotton he will
never sell unless he can get a much
higher price. Neither could the con-
-sumer be penalized, for the fuctu-
alton in the price of cotton has lit
tie effect upon the price OF the finished
product to the consumer We expect
10 mature our plans at our meeting
at New Orleans and it is likely we will
seek the counsel a2d approval of the
federal reserve board before present
ing our plans to congress-"
