the meeting at Columbia, S. c., Oc-
tober 16 of the American Cotton as.
ISOLATION were discussed with Presi-
dent Coolidge today by Joseph o.
Thompson. of Birmingham, Ala,
representing the association.
The American Cotton association
is not seeking nor will it ever ask
for government aid, Mr.. Thompson
told the president. The farmer, he
said, will work out the problem of
dealing with the boil weevil through
his own organization and by coop,
GRAFTON of those directly interested
in cotton and not call upon the gov
eminent except for the cooperation
of existing agencies, which the pres
ident assured him would give the
association support.
Mr.. Thompson informed the presi-
dent that there was a strong feel
ing in the south that there must be
more self-help and slowing down
of demand for relief measures from
the government.
The people of the south were COM
ing to realize, Mr.. Thompson said,
that agriculture, like all other bust
ness, must stand or fall on it's mer-
it's and that prices must and will
be governed by the law of supply
and demand.
