COTTON GROWERS
OF THREE COUNTIES
Are to Hold a Meeting at Summer
field Next Monday Afternoon

Are to Hold Meeting at Summer
field Next Monday Afternoon
All the cotton growers of Lake,
Marion and Sumter counties are ask
ed to meet at Summerfield Monday,
August 29th. at 2:30 p. m. At pre-
vious meeting the Middle Florida Cot
ton Growers association was organic
ed and several movements of benefit
to cotton growers were started. The
meeting of August 29th will take up
the problem of marketing the 1915
crop.
Market conditions in the Sea Island
trade are very unusual; in fact, con-
ditions are such that unless care is
taken in putting the crop on the mar.
ket the farmer is liable to be forced
to take less than his cotton is really
worth. The way the 1918 crop is put
on the market may make difference
of SC. per pound for seed cotton. This
difference for the crop in Marion
county alone will mean around 5000,
900. This will be nearly enough te
pay for Marion's allotment in the
next liberty loan and should merit
the serious consideration of every
farmer and business man in the
county. 1t will mean as much accord
ingly to Lake and Sumter.
Plans will be discussed and sug
gestions made as to how the crol
can be marketed to the best advant
age. The state director of the Unitet
States employment bureau has prom
| ised to explain the governments plal
for securing labor for the farmers.
