WILL NOT TRY TO
SELL OLD COTTON

After careful Investigation, off,
cials OF the Arkansas Cotton Grow.
ers' Cooperative Association have
decided that it would be impractical
to attempt to market old cotton of
members. /, was said that II would
require an immense amount of work
TO secure enough cotton OF various
grade and staples to make 1t profit
able to sell. Also that it would be
impossible for the sales manager TO
devote the time 10 this work, since
it is desired to have him spend q
month visiting the Eastern markets
IN preparation for handling the
1922 crop OF association members.
Also there seems 10 be a general
disposition Of members to hold their
old cotton for the present at least
and the association has not yet se
cured an Office force adequate for
the amount OF work that would be
envolved in attempting to marke,
cotton At the present time. Because
of all these hsndioaps. II was
considered impractical to make the
attempt, sltho many members had
inquired about the possibility Of
having their old cotton sold through
the association.

made by Armour e. Co. to E. c. Curtis
and drawing interest ranging from 6l2

ers came, according to the prosecution,
from the safe" account in the State

years when Governor Small and Lieu
tenant Governor Fred E. Sterling were
state treasurers.
