SPECIAL SESSION
ASKED OF COOPER
Wade Stsekhopse Wants Special Ses'
sion Of legislature to Aid The
Farmers.

The State, 21st.
A request for the call of special
session of the legislature to consid-
er means of aiding the cotton farm
ers is contained in telegram re-
ceived by Governor Cooper last night
from Wade Stackhouse of Dillon.
Governor Cooper said last night that
he would take the request under con-
sideration but that it was hardly
probable that special session of the
legislature would be necessary or ad-
visable, little relief being possible
through legislation.
Common sense suggests" MIR.
Stackhouse says, in his telegram,
"that the state of South Carolina
take some action to prevent loss OF
this cotton crop to our farmers. Two
courses of action seem possible: is-
sue an immediate call for special
session of the legislature to: first,
pass a moratorium, preventing col
lection of any debts until March l
and preventing sale of bale of cot
ton until that date, or second, pass
a state bond issue and lend ten cents
pound on all stored cotton, averag-
ing strict low middling.
"Should you decide. to take action
wire the governors of the other cot
ton states, urging similar action. Am
sending copies of this telegram to
the state newspapers with request to
publish and am inviting other sug-
gestiens and criticisms
Governor Cooper has received SIM
liar requests for extra session of
the legislature to take action in IA
vor of the cotton farmers and has
declined to issue the call, pointing
out that it would be practical i'm
possibility to assemble the members
of the legislature and transact the
legislation wanted before the holi-
days. The regular session of the as
sembly will convene Immediately
after the holidays, when it is ex-
pected full consideration will be CIV
en- to the problem and solution
found, if possible.

COTTON GROWERS
SEEK PROTECTION
IN COOPERATION
Oklahoma Farmers Lift Plan Of Pa
cifc Coast Producers for
Market Association.
(By f. T. Leech. Editor Memphis
Press.)

(By f. T. Leech, Editor Memphis
Press.)
Oklahoma City, Okla, Nov. 90
There are many movements of many
types under way to counteract and
overcome the conditions which led
to a so per cent. decline in cotton
this year, just as the farmers of the
South were starting to market their
crops. At least one of these plans
seems on the high road to success.
It is the Oklahoma Cotton Grow
ers' association and if it maintains
the strides it has already struck, SO
per cent. of the cotton growers of
this state will next year market their
cotton as unit and share the added
profits they expect from cooperative
warehousing classification and selling
of their product.
The Oklahoma cotton growers have
bodily lifted the plan adopted by Pa
cifc Coast citrus, raisin and prune
growers, and producers of other Cali
fornia crops, who organized into
strong cooperative association for the
marketing of their products.
Sign 7.Year Contract.
The Oklahoma plan calls for, the
union of at least 10000 cotton grow
ers into a single association, which
will market the entire cotton crop of
its members. These members sign
an irer-clad contract to market their
entire crop for seven years through
the association.
This association is purely mar
keting body. It's great object is to
jump over the heads of the middle
men, who infest the cotton business,
and deal directly with the mills. thus
seeking to secure for the farmers the
profits which have heretofore been
taken out all along the line by buy
ers, factors, spectators and host
of others.
The ASSOCIATION membership is
limited entirely to cotton farmers or
landlords who receive cotton as rent.
No buyer, speculator, banker or any
one else outside of actual producers
can belong. This one point is prov
ing the greatestlargument which the
association has. /
Carl Williams; Oklahoma City edi-
tor of a widely circulated farm pa
per, told me Che initial progress of
the association has exceeded all ex-
pectations. Ass test, organizers
were put in two Oklahoma counties,
and explained the plans at small
community meetings. Seven out of
every nine farmers attending signed
the iron-clad seven-year contract. 1t
is expected 10000 farmers, raising
at Least 800 ,000 bales of cotton year
ly, will become members before May,
1921.
The seven-year contract was pro-
vided 80 that the association can re-
tain the best statesmen available and
can guarantee to the buyers stable
supply of cotton for a long period.

Washington, Nov. 20.-Nearly
one-half of the total disbursements
of the United States shipping board

period Of II. months, amounting to
more than two billion dollars, were
unsupported by proper vouchers, ac-
cording to the verdict Of the corpor-
atoms accounts submitted to Secre-
tary Houston today by the comptrel-
ler of the treasury in his annual re-
port.
The audit was made by direction
of congress for the period October,

that. total disbursements of the fleet
corporation were $2,723,915,213 of
which exception to the payment of
1,1S4,526,243 was taken by the
comptroller because of the ''lack of
supporting papers," Subsequent
production of supporting Papers,
however, comptroller said, resulted in
credit to the corporation of $7O,-
e25,Se8, leaving balance as of Feb
ruary of s1,113,7O0,345 disapproved
by the auditors.
The comptroller presented figures
only up to February, but Martin j.

chairman of the shipping board under
Secretary Payne, declared before the
congressional select committee on
shipping board operations in New
York last week that up to March l
50, 100000 had been submitted
for the audit and payment Of ST.,
