ment, the growth, development
and permanency Of the cooper
alive cotton movement in Okla
homa depends upon the eff
cheney and honesty that mark
the confuct of it's affairs. The
character and capacity of it's
personnel, and the method of
their selection, in these circun-
stances, become matters OF
prime Importance in the future
Of the Oklahoma Cotton Grow
ers' association.
Indeed, the efficiency with
which the association out here
is conducted is matter for con-
Germ throughout the cotton
states, for, as has been remark
ed, the ultimate design of the
cooperative movement is an or
ganization that will include
every cotton producing state. In
experience and incapacity in
business matters anywhere
might, easily destroy the move
ment.
The Oklahoma Cotton Grew
ers' association is farmers or
ganization, or an organlzatlon
of farmers all right enough. but
it's affairs are in the hands Ole
business men-technical cotton
experts who understand the
angles and intricacies of the
industry, and bankers who APP
preciate the value of sound BUSH
ness Judgment.

millions of dollars TO finance the
movement of the 91.00O bales OF
cotton it is now in the process OF
marketing comparatively.

The officers and directors OF
the association are farmers
that is undisputed. But they are
farmers of a type who have
demonstrated in the manage
ment of their own affairs a ca
pacity for business. That thte
is true is attested by the fact
that in the management of the
actual business of grazing.
