 The report mailed by the chamber of commerce to big business houses and organizations throughout the na- tion was remarkable in that it con tained no descriptions or eulogies- IL was merely a mass of figures accu- rate statistics on everything connect ed with industry and prosperity in the state. county and ely. The detailed data appealed to all who received the report. as the many letters received in response show.
 Typical of these letters was, the fol- lowing from l. w Harrison. assistant vice president of the Anglo and Lon- don- Paris National bank of San Francisco. to Harry Welch. secretary of the chamber:

 Cotton Growers Volunteer
 At the close of the meeting more than 30 cotton growers among the 100 present volunteered to work this week at soliciting membership in the new association for the intelligent and economical selling of cotton on a business basis. Many expressions came from them to the effect that they had definitely determined that the cotton growing business was his- |tory-ancient history-unless the or ganization Is perfected
