Little Rock, Ark-Directors of the Arkansas Cotton Growers Co-operat- i've Association voted to affiliate with the American Cotton Growers Ex- change at their monthly meeting here last week. As the Arkansas members of the Board of Trustees of the Ex- change, the following were elected: Chas. c. Henry, Newport Hugh Mix. on, Marianna, and Henry L. Trulock, Pine Bluff
 Decision to affiliate with the ex. change, which is the national organi- zation embracing all the various state exchanges, was taken only after a long and thorough discussion, it was announced Features to the exchange to which some of the Arkansas direct ors had objected were removed at last weeks meeting of the Exchanges S Board of Trustees at Oklahoma City it was said and the vote for utilization practically was unanimous.

 The first step was of course, the sign-up campaign" he said, but in voting to join the exchange, I believe that the Arkansas association has ex- tended an even greater service to it's members than was accomplished by the organization of the state associa. tion.
 The exchange will enable all the state associations to do larger num- Der of kinds of work and to do if more effectively than they could by themselves. The exchange will enable the state associations to reduce their costs of operation and to increase the efficiency of their service. The ex- change will enable the cotton growers to have an influence in establishing the market because the exchange will control enough cotton to make it a really important factor on the market.
 The exchange will make 1t possible to reach more makets and broader markets. It will make it possible to cor-relate the sales efforts of all the state associations. It will make poss- tbie the adoption of a general sales policy without competition between the various state associations"
