 Harvie Jordan of Atlanta, na- tional campaign director, will come to Arkansas within the next two weeks for the purpose of as sisting in the organization and 1t is planned to hold several dis trict conventions at the more im- portant points. In letter TO state headquarters, MT. Jordan says:
 q think you are doing splendidly in Arkansas, and with the twenty five counties already organized as nucleus, you are certain to bring in every one during the next few months. The successful organiza- tion of the Southern cotton grow CTS is a monumenta ltask and it car. only be attained by hard and persistent effort. But l believe it will be done through the Amer ican Cotton association.
 q assume you are preparing to put on an intensive campaign after the holidays and have no let up until every county in your state is perfectly organized. Our slogan for 1920 must be "One million paid up members" If a persist ent drive is made in every coun- ey in the cotton belt, we are cer- tain to attain the goal. With such membership, the American Cotton association is destined to emancipate the cotton growers and make certain the prosperity of the South for all time to como The success of such a movement is worthy the ambition, hopes and energies of any man in Dixie"
