Following are the questions to be
put up to these meetings:
~ Plans for holding the cotton
of the parish until fair and just prices
can be obtained together with plans
for cooperative marketing and to
urge farmers to not pick low grade
cotton. The convention fixed 40
cents as fair price.
~ Plans for fully utilizing exist
ing warehouses and warehouse facili-
ties Of the parish and for erecting adj
ditional warehouses with special
emphasis in this connection on prac-
tlcable plans for financing the crop.

wise and certain plan of effecting a
reduction in cotton acreage, pledges
to thsi effect to be taken.
(D Urge your people when they
can do so, to pick their cotton and
put it away in the cotton house

two. Every bale Of cotton is an in
strument in the hands Of our enemies.

tinualIy improving in value and
quality while stored.
