To Look After
Cotton Industy
Committee Appointed to Watch Leg
isIation Affecting the SOuth's
Money Crop

At meeting of the state commit
tee of the Louisiana division of the
American Cotton Association held
May 7th, two committees were pro-
vided for to look into legislation in
the interest of the cotton industry.
One committee, composed of Harry
D. Wilson, Paul D. Perkins, of Calca-
sieu, N. C. Williamson Of East Car
ro1, w. H. Hodges, Jr. of Shreveport,
Grundy Cooper of Rapides and W.
B. Thompson of Orleans, will cOnfine
its efforts to legislation concerning
the pink boil worm infestation in
Southwest Louisiana. Information
given the committee by Mr.. Perkins
and Mr.. Wilson, indicated that the
amount of compensation required for
the cotton farmers of Cameron will
not be as great as at first supposed.
The other committee, to be COM
Iposed of seven members, will be man,
ed later by Chairman Thompson, and
will devote its energies towards legis-
lation in the interest of the cotton
producer, by endeavoring to realize
part of the program of construct
i've effort of the American Cotton
Association. The first question is
that of warehousing. Louisiana has
good warehouse law, but in the ware
house program of the association are
some features which may require
special legislation. The next question
is to have course in cotton grading
and stapling established in the State
University or Tulane. 1t may be poss-
IDLE to accomplish this without addi-
tional expense, through the opera
tons of the Smith-Huey federal law.
Another question is to require the
railroads to provide shelter for cot
ton on railroad platform and in yards.
Chairman Thompson was instructed
to call a conference with the railroad
interests to endeavor to have this
done without attempting to force it
by legislation.
The plan for systematic campaign
of the state by groups of parishes
was endorsed, and in a few weeks
will be put into effect. Charter mem
berships totaled 322 on April 3Oth,
which is almost one half Of the states
quota.
Chairman Thompson was instruct
ed to investigate the advisability of
Incorporating the state division, or to
file the original charter of the nat
ional association with the secretary
of state; so as to give permanence to
the Louisiana Division.
A vote of thanks to the papers of
the city and the country for their CO.
operation in the movement was ad-
opted.

Linotype Gives Trouble and Opera.
tor Quits Causing Delay in Getting
Articles to be Left Out

1t is with regret that the publish
ers of the Progress announce
that they were compelled to leave out
of this issue several articles Of news,
as well as a volume of advertisement,
in order that the paper could be pub
lished on time. A slight accident, not
a breakdown Of the linotype caused
a loss of more than one day; the light
plan "going on the bum" caused the
loss of another day, and as fas as the
type was concerned the state con-
vention of the Knights of Columbus
forced the machine to lay idle a day
and a half as the only member of the
force, after the regular operator
taken French Leave" was a delegate
to the convention.
With apologies to the public and
thanks to Mrs. Roy D. Edwards, who
helped US out gin a pinch" we are
able to come out on time despite
several reverses.
