pared by Texas Financiers
Wins Hearty Commenda-
ton at Fort Worth Meet
BY RALPH SMITH

DALLAS, Tex, March I'll
No feature Of the Texas Bank
ers' association convention at
Fort Worth attracted more at
tention than an outline of the
plan adopted by the Texas cot
ton association for the protec-
ton of the country bankers and
country merchants against losses
through the cooperative sale
Of cotton. The outline was IA
vorably received and was the
subject Of much favorable COM
ment from bankers who had been
luke-warm in their attitude to-
wards the association.
The plan provides for hard
and fast, legally binding and en-
forceable agreement between the
cotton association, on the one
hand, and the country bank or
country merchant, on the 9TH
err. It's details are of prime i'm
portance, for, in the last analy-
sis, the success of the cooper
alive movement in Texas or else
where in the south depends upon
the cooperation of farmers, mer-

tons for it's groWer-members in
merchandising cotton and sta
bilizing cotton values.

misses recited, the association, on
the one hand, and the country
banks or country merchant, on
the other hand, expressly agree:
