WILL CONSIDER AGITATION
 FOR U. $. CONTROL COTTON

Little Rock, Jan. 24.-Commissioner John H. Page will leave Sunday for New Orleans, to attend a meeting Jan. 29-3O of the Cotton Marketing Advisory Association, the Commis- sioners of Agriculture of the South ern states, and the presidents of the Farmers Unions, to consider an agi- tation that has originated among Wall Street manipulators, for the federal Food Administration to take over the control of cotton as a war measure It is proposed that a price of IS cents a pound be fixed.
 Tka agitation started with the New York Journal of Commerce, which contends that IS cents per pound for cotton will provide an average return per acre for the farm lands of the South where cotton is produced, equal to the return from cereal crops, and further that it will indirectly force the planting of a much greater percentage of food and feed crops.
 ''It will be contended by the oppon- ents of this plan," said MT. Page, that the price at which cotton goods are now being sold justify a price of 40 cents for cotton; and that, while there has been an advance of one hun dred per cent in the price of cotton, the price of cotton manufactured goods has advanced 250 to 300 per cent.
