PLANNING TO CREATE
FIVE PARISH ASSOCIATION

Bankers and farmers of Lake
Charles are making an effort to Or
ganize the "Old CalcaSieu Growers
Association" as a solution to the
problems confronting the indu-
Stry at the present time.
Rice farmers in the parishes of
CaIcaSieu, Allen, Beauregard, JEFF
ferSon Davis, and Cameron are
being urged by The Lake Charles
committee to join in the new asSo-
citation and meetings have been
held or arranged to be held at Jen-
ningS, Elton, Welsh, Lake Arthur,
Vinton, Lake Charles, Kinder and
IOberlin to consider the plan and
elect director from each district.
The plan as outlined by COM
mitee appointed at the Lake CharI.
es meeting March 23rd and sub
mitted to the various districts
throughout the proposed five par
Iish association, is as follows:
Your committee respectfully
submits that they find the general
opinion of farmers, bankers, and
merchants dealing with farmers to
be that the strongest cooperation
of all interests is of the utmost
importance to the end that the
rough rice on hand from the 1920
crop be disposed of promptly and
in manner to obtain the best
possible results for the grower.
There seems to be a warrant
for the belief that with 100 per
cent cooperation among farmers
enough of the present stocks can
be disposed of before next harvest
to prevent the carry-0ver being a
menace to the crop now being
Iplanted.
1T is not the general opinion
that satisfactory prices can be OBJ
|tained but it is the general opinion
that much better prices can be OBJ
Itained through 100 per cent CO.
Operation than can be gGt0ten in
ANY other way.
Your committee therefore de-
sireS to recommend for your con-
Sideration an effort to unite solid
lily the farmers in the territory
known as Old Calcasieu and Cam
eron along the following lines:
| /. Divide the territory into sew
EN- divisions, with one director for
each divisions. The divisions to
be are as above stated.
! 2. AS soon as possible hold
meetings at each point named and
IpreSent an outline of this suggest
ed plan. At these meetings the
director to represent the division
IShall be elected.
3. AS soon as the seven meetings
shall have been held and the di-
rectors selected, a meeting Of the
Iseven chosen directors shall be
held in Lake Charles and a de.
finite plan of action shall be out
lined and referred to the farmers
of each division.
4. This organization is to bt
known as the "Old Calcasieu Rice
Growers Association"
