ty take such steps as are necessary to
insure the marketing OF their crops

inactivity permit their products TO
sell for less than their value and the
dealer receive a profit out OF all pro-

The classification OF cotton alone

Association thousands OF dollars
Never before in the history OF the

bale. A low middling is worth $4,000
less than a middling, and a bolly is
worth $500 less than a middling.
The power OF the State of Texas will
be put behind this Association TO en-
able its members to get fair class

ceivea the market value for it.
