in the field and the crop being sold
for half what it takes to live on. He
said that the average farmer realized
about $3.50 when cotton sells at twen-
ty cents and statistics of the govern
ment show that it takes 81, 600 for
the average family to live on. He
said that if the farmer cannot get a
profit out of his cotton he should
quit cotton. But" he said, "the err
ror is not with cotton--it is with
you"
He gave the plan of organization
which is, briefly to organize the COM
modify, not the county or State. The
idea is to get large percentage of
the producers of commodity into the
organization, to get them IN for a
number of years and then to find
market for what he produces.

ULSTER QUESTION IS SLATED TO
COME UP TODAY AT CONFERENCE
Belfast Restless Over Possible
Settlement in Irish Tangle
UnfavOrabIe to Ulster.
az Ia AasaeIated pressl

LONDON. Oct. 2O.-The most diff
cult problem facing the Irish confer
ence-that of Ulster-will, it is under
stood. come up before the full confer
ence which Is dealing with the subject
of Irish peace at q session to be held
tomorrow
The Sim Fein delegates. having
finished their work on sub-comnit-
tees with the British representatives,
have been busy today with their ex-
perts concluding their case for pre-
sentation to the conference. Tho Sim
Fein has maintained its determination
not to agree to enter the British COM
rnonwealth unless Ireland is treated as
a unit. An effort therefore Is to be
made from the governments side to
induce Ulster to consider some means
by which. while preserving its local
autonomy, It may form part of the
Irish stats.
The U1sterites have resisted all APP
peaIs thus far, and the present rest
lessness in Belfast is attributed in
high quarters in London to apprehen-
sion that the rank and file Of the
British representatives at the confer
once contemplate sacrificing them to
the desire for All Irish settlement.
All information obtainable In author
itative quarters however, points to a
strict adherence by Premier Lloyd
George and his colleagues to their
Ulster pledges. The opinion is ex-
pressed by many persons that II viii
he possible to construct some plan
which, while apparently leaving Ulster
untouched, will give such advantages
to the south as to compel Ulster to
make terms with the south. There are
other persons to whom the difficulties
seem insuperabIe, and many OF them
prophesy a speedy break IN the nego-
tiations on this issue.
Discredsting the widespread belief
that Sir James Craig. the Ulster pre-
nier. VIII take part in the confer
ence. members Of the Sim Fein del
egation said today there was no in
tention on their part, at least for the
present, OF consenting 70 admit Sir
James. They added that they were
perfectly willing to discuss with him
every aspect OF the Ulster question.
but declared that they would not
recognize him as the official represen-
tative of Ireland or any part Of Ireland.
