Following the discussion of the

general discussion Of the local cotton
market. the Tri-County Cotton Mar
keting Association and the attitude
of some of the local cotton buyers in
respect to accepting the grading OF
cotton by the government cotton class

Bureau of Markets to work in CO.
operation with the association. This
discussion was the most interesting Of
the whole meeting and aroused more
enthusiasm in the crowd than any
other part of the proceedings. Mr.. l.
d. Jennings brought the discussion to
head by stating that a local cotton
buyer had graded ten bales Of cotton
one grade lower than the grades o.
the government classer and had re-
fused to accept the cotton except on
the lower grade.
Mr.. Jennings said that the issue
should be met and settled once for all
right now. If the government classer
knows his business and is grading tn
cotton correctly then the farmers
should unite In demanding and insist
ing that the buyers accept this grad
ing If he does not know his bust
ness and is not correctly grading the
cotton then it should lie found out al
once and the government asked ia
furnish a classer who does know his
business Mr.. Jennings went on to say
that h had no doubt but that the
