COTTON ASSOCIATION
To NAME DIRECTORS.

III IahsElL UInLUIUnU
Members of the Georgia Cotton
Growers Cooperative association
will ballot this week for 20 directors
representing the 20 districts into
which the state has been divided.
1t is universally conceded by lead
'.ers and members of this great move
ment that it's success will depend in
large measure on the ability and
standing of the board of directors.
The experience of similar state or
CARNATIONS in the west, where re-
markable results have been accom-
splished, demonstrated this point con-
clusiVely. .-...
Nominations were obtained by a
mail primary conducted last week
in the following manner:
Each member of the association
was sent nomination card with a
names of two men in his district
When these names come back to as
ISOLATION headquarters in Atlanta,
two names We're selected in each dis
trict, giving consideration, first, TO
the number Of votes they received;
and, second. to their ability and eX-
perience in handling large affairs.
The two nominees thus selected
are now going back in the mails to
the members, and they are to vote
for the one they prefer; or, if they
prefer some other, they can scratch
both names and write on the ticket
the name of their preference.
All ballots must be prepared and
sent back to association headquar-
tiers not later than next Saturday,
April 20, when the count will be
made.
In addition to the 20 directors to
be elected in this manner, there are
to be three others; one appointed by
the president of the State College of
Agriculture, one by the commissioner
of agriculture and one by the di.
rector of the state bureau of mar.
kets.
