News and Doings of the
Cotton Association in State

This is "American Cotton Associ-
alton week." designated as such by
proclamation of Governor Pleasant,
and during which the supreme effort
to put Louisiana over the top in the
membership campaign is expected to
reach success. Louisiana's quota
has been fixed at 10000 members,
and reports from many of the parish
es indicate that those parishes will
exceed their quota. If the bad roads
do not interfere toe much with the
work this week, the whole state will
make a return in excess Of the re-
quired number.
This is the first drive that those
interested in the idustry have been
enlisted in that has a purely selfish
purpose behind it. It is drive to
create force that will work for the
benefit of cotton producers and ev-
cry other interest even remotely con-
nected with cotton.
The Louisiana organization, Of
which w. B. Thompson is chairman,
has devoted the past three months to
the work of organization, and to pre-
pairing the way for this effort. Thir-
ty-nine parishes have been organized,
and this week are conducting sys-
tematic drive into every section,
making the personal appeal to farm
erms, merchants, business men and
professional men, giving them the OPP
portunity to come into the greatest
forward movement ever started in
the South. "Unity" has been the
keynote of the campaign, and this
idea has been driven home with great
effect. The producers are beginning
to realize that it is the only instru-
ment they can use to attain fair re-
turn on their labor. It involves an
outlay of only one-twentieth of a cent
per pound on the cotton produced,
while there has been actual evidence
that even though but partially or
ganized, the American Cotton Associ-
alton has already accomplished so
much for the cotton industry that it
has been recognized the country over
as the greatest force in the South
just now. The latest evidence was
the sale Of 100000 bales of cotton at
prices ranging from 35 cents for or.
binary to Al cents for low middling
the largest single sale of cotton on
record.
The personal canvass of the farm
ers this week is being backed up
with meetings at certain places where
bad roads interfered with scheduled
meetings last week. Among those
scheduled this week are Jena, Mon
day; Columbia and Lake Providence,
