ton from office because of his per
sistently unfriendy attitude toward
agriculture" We're adopted at the an
nual meeting of the Georgia division
of the American Cotton Association
The resolution, which was adopted
after half hours discussion makes
the following complaint against Sec
retary Houston:
THAT he started the raid on cotton
in September. 1918, with an interview
declaring that 25 cents pound as
fair price for cotton. when II was
then selling for 3S cents: that hla
well.known unfriendly attitude toward
the agricultural interests while he was
secretary Of agriculture, caused the
farmers of the country to object
strenuously to his appointment as
secretary of the treasury, but these
objections were disregarded by Presi.

ment as head of the treasury de-
partment he has continued his un,

by issuing statements and propa.
ganda so perslstently and effectively
that price of cotton and other agri-
cultural products has declined to be-
low the cost OF production, thereby
causing the loss OF millions OF dollars
TO the farmers OF the United States.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-Dec,aring
that someone" must finance thi.
years crops, George p Hampton
managing director of the Farmers
National council, today wrote the fed
eral reserve board suggesting that. in
event the board definitely decides
against making an effort to get its
members to discount farm paper and
warehouse receipts, the government
borrow money and deposit it in ma
tional banks to be loaned to farmers
at not more than l per cent in ex-
cess of the rate the government pays.
Farmers thus wouIo be able, Mr..
Hampton said, to hold at least a
part of their crops until they can get
cost of production, plus a reasonable
profit or until there is an effective
consumption demand.
Either the primary producer or
those seeking control of farm products
and who are able to get credit from
some source must finance the crop,
the letter said.
The men seeking to corner agri-
cultural products will not reduce the
prices at which they sell crops any
longer than they have to-" Mr.
Hampton declared. The law of supply
and demand will be unavailing in cas>

and material arguments for member

pose making America first throughout
the world is TO turn our backs on
progress and on the ideals which the
