Chamber of Commerce Farm
Bureau Will Also Make
Future Plans.

A successor to H. NJ. Cottrell, agri-
culturist Of the farm development bu-
reau of the Chamber OF Commerce, who
has resigned to accept a position as
manager of the More Profitable Farm
ing committee Of the Little Rock board
of trade, will be elected Friday AFTER
noon.
c. J. Haase, chairman Of the bureau,
has called a meeting at the Chamber
of Commerce Friday afternoon at l2:l9
of the executive committee OF this oouy'
He has also asked the nance COM
mittee, appointed to raise tor inc
bureau for the next three years, ana
the advisory committee, which Is TO

n assist in mapping out It's plans, 10
participate in this meeting. DR.. Talt
Butler is chairman of the former ana
A, Z. Jennings heads the latter COM
mittee,
In addition to electing a successor to
Mr., Cottrell, plans for the bureau Tor
the year will be formulated.
Personally, l very much regret 10
see Mr.. Cottrell leave" Chairman haaSe
said Wednesday, but l do not antlcl-
pate, for several reasons, that there
will be any impairment OF the WORK
of the bureau.
THE call from Little Rock may prove
a decided factor in ~arousing the sup
porters OF the bureau to the opportunity
that lies before them and TO the ne
cessity of throwing themselves more
whole -heartedly into the work of this
organization.
"A new man, coming in at this par
ticular time, may take an even larger
and more comprehensive view OF the
| opportunities now opening up before the
bureau. Furthermore, tnere Is every
indication that farm development
throughout the valley territory Will be
va etlv uidened through the removal OF
Mr.. Cottrell to Little rtock. We haVe
been working in a comparatively limited
field and | would be very glad indeed
to see a strong man put in charge OF
farm development in Jackson, Miss
and in every other large town in the
~tri-states just as has been done al
Little Rock.
THE time is ripe TOR Mig activities
and the larger the scale on which this
work is projected and the more active
organizations there are IN the field, the
