TEXAS FARMERS AGREE
ON 35C FOR COTTON
INSTITUTION ALSO ADOPTS
PLEDGE FOR MINIMUM OF
$40 TON FOR SEED.

Waco, Tex, Aug. 23.-lf cotton
producing farmers of Texas will be
bound by a resolution adopted yes
terday by delegates who attended a
meeting of the Texas Farmers In
stitute, the minimum price for cot
ton will be 35c per pound and NO
per ton for seed. There was no dis
cussion on the question and the
pledge was adopted by a unanimous
rising vote.
This action was taken following
an address by w. B. Yeary, assist
ant in the Bureau of Markets. State
Department of Agriculture. 1t was
asserted by Mr.. Yeary that, what
ever price was fixed for cotton By
the institute, the farmers of Texas
could show that such price was
warranted, cost of production con-
sidered 1t was his belief that the
low price for cotton which has pre-
vailed for the last quarter of cen
tury could be credited to lack OF
intelligence on the part of the peo-
pie on the farm. The war, he said,
has had nothing to do with the low
price OF cotton.
In arriving at decision to fix
the price OF cotton at Csc per pound
this was determined on the basis OF
the cost of producing 100 pounds
of the StaDle per acre.
Urging the delegates present to
study food and feed crops that were
most dependable in their respective
communities, and to plant and cult
vate them to the best of their abil-
ity, Mr.. Yeary said: while we
are doing this, we must not forget
that crop which is food, feed, am
munition, money and clothing, not
only for ourselves, but for the rest
of the nation, our soldiers and our
allies. ! allude to King Cotton"
Mr.. Yeary referred to the price OF
cotton that has prevailed for the
last twenty-five years. From 1891
to 1908, there was interference OF
action taken by individuals, associa-
tions or departments. Mr.. 4eary
said. Future speculations proceeded
with the result that
cotton ranged around &c and 7c.
Last year, Mr.. Yeary said, a meet
ing was held in Dallas, called by
State Commissioner of Agriculture
Fred w. Davis. Resolutions were
passed at that meeting recommend
ing that cotton be held until SOC per
pound had been reached. "As re-
suit" said Mr.. Yeary, "the price OF
cotton reached the average OF Zoc.
1t was estimated, he said, by cotton
experts that the work along TINS
line, begun last year, had resulted IN
A saving to the Texas cotton far
mer of from $35 to sos per bale on
asst wears crop. or in round num-
1ers from $l00000,000 to $l75,OOO,-
200.
Mr.. Yeary stressed the point that
he high price of cotton cloth
should not be ascribed to the cost OF
,otton. He stated that Government
.eports show that manufacturing
expenses are alleged to have in
,reased 800 percent, while cotton
prices have increased Zo
percent. AT this rate. cotton
hould be worth soc per pound Mr..
Yeary said,

from soy beans. 1t Is by no means
simply condiment. 1t is as nutri-

WILLIAMS CASE IS STILL ON TRIAL
 AT TOMBSTONE
Koch Causes Sensation by Writing Note Exonetating Williams and Then Getting on Stand and Stating Con- tents a Lie
Special to The Review1

l TOMBSTONE, April 20.-The ease of Stat1 vs. Dave Williams, charged with assault with intent to commit murder is still on trial. The state closed its case at 2:30 this afternoon after having called the following wit nesses: Mrs. L. Gallen, Tombstone: recalled George Cook, night watch man of Douglas; Fred NessbaumeT. Tombstone; H. B. Brandt; Guy c. Welch; Cecil Adams; J. K. McDaniels; recalled Koch. The recalling of Koch came after Koch had early this morn ing written a note to Williams in Jail, which read as follows: MT. Ross: Please turn Mir. Williams out as he s not guilty. I testify because I was toll so. (Signed) Fred H. Koch. (Misspelled words are Koch's). On the witress stand this afternoon, Koch testified that he wrote the note to Williams, addressed to MT. Ross, county attorney. because he fcec sorry for Williams wife and little children. | On the witness stand this afternoon he testified that everything in the note was a lie, and what he had testified yesterday, duplicating Williams in the plot to hold up the bank, and which resulted in the shooting of Brandt, was the absolute truth There were many incidents of humor which came out of the testimony of many o; the witnesses.
 The defense opened their case at 2:30 with Mrs. D. D. Williams, wife of the defendant, as their first wit ness. The other witnesses were Elm
 
 Stroud. All the testimony of the de- fense's witnesses was very short. About 3:30 the defendant Williams took the stand denying in every de- tail any connectio with the hold-up. County Attorney Ross cross-examined Williams very minutely as to all the movements he and Koch made since two days previous to the hold-up.
 The case has now been on trial three days. and a look at the jurymen is evidence of that fact, with their unshaved boards and tired looks. The case may go to the jury late tonight but it is doubtful if a verdict will be reached before tomorrow, if it should.
 There were several women in the court room audience, conspicuous among them being Mrs. J. R. Brandt, whose husband was shot by Koch. She has followed with detail every Lit of evidence produced in the case.
 Tie jury in the Williams case came in Sunday morning about nine o'clock and reported that they had arrived at verdict. The clerk read the verdict which was one of acquittal. The jury failed to put much faith in the story i, I,, ,l tod himself a number of times.
 The attention of the court yester day was taken up in the trial of a number of divorce cases. In the morn ing the case of the state vs. Miguel Alverado charged with murder. alleged to have been committed in Bisbee sev- eral months ago will be called.
