COTTON CROP

OOIlON ORCH
With 100000 bales of the next Alabama
cotton crop pledged in farm marketing pool,
which will be financed with government aid the
Alabama producer will become business man.
The smallest producer in the pool will receive
the same benefits the largest, because it will
handle all contracts on the same basis.

association have appointed managing direc-

trict and county agents. They, in turn, will
solicit producers to join the farm marketing
organization and sign the contracts and agree
ments necessary under the law enabling the or
CARNATIONS to function and borrow money. In
July the signed-up producers will select their
own executive board, who will employ the bust
ness manager, auditor and other salaried Off
GERS. The association then will be in position
to borrow money and market the pooled cotton
in busness-lke manner.
