FARMERS LEAD
 PRODUCTS SALES
Take Dominant Position In Marketing Crops,
 Officials Say

CHICAGO, Dec. a. Farmers col operative associations are approaching dominant positions in the marketing of cotton, grain and butter, said speakers before the annual meeting of the na- tional association of state marketing of ficals today.
 The American Cotton Growers asso- citation, according to Secretary 0. .. Moser, is handling more than one mh" lion bales this year. It has become, he said, the worlds largest cotton mercnant, with sales reported in Europe and Japan representing more than 100000 cotton growers. The association last year bor- rowed $87,O00,000 to make advances to growers.
 The Grain Marketing company, or ganized last July, has handled more than one-third of all grain marketed from this years crop and probably 70 per cent of grain for export, said J. w. Cover dale, secretary. :,
 The state marketing officials adopted a report on cooperation expressing the policy that farmers themselves should originate plans for organization, al- though they may be assisted in this by state and federal officials. The report also declared in favor of special edu- cational campaigns among farmers to direct them to the principles Of success full cooperation.

AMERICA WINS FIRST BATTLE
 AT OPIUM MEET
Conference Will Consider Indian Pr0blem-Brit-
 ishs Vote Split
(By Associated Press.)

GENEVA, Dec. 2.-What Represen- tative Stephen c. Porter, head of the American delegation to the interna- tional opium conference, called "the man of straw," failed today to influ- ence the delegates who, in supporting the American view, voted that the American proposal respecting the pro blem of opium eating in India properly belongs within the scope of the confer ence agenda. Twenty-six states voted in favor of referring the proposal to the first commission. India alone voted against it, while several other states declined to vote.
 Apart from the felicitations showered on the Americans for their victory, the chief feature of the commission of the delegates and of the public after adjournment was the way in which the British empires vote was split. An examination of the vote proves inter esting because fears have been ex- pressed in the past in some countries that on any important question concern ing the league the British empire with its six votes in the assembly would be certain to stand solidly together. Those who insist there is no danger of British domination point to the fact that in today's balloting the Brit ish empire lined up three different ways. Australia and England abstained from voting: India voted in the negative, and Canada and Ireland voted to sup nort the American motion.
 Opposed To Interference
 India asserted that MT. Porter had gone on record last year as opposed fo interference in the domestic affairs of India or any other nation and that he had virtually agreed not to raise the question of India's opium eating practice at the present conference.
 MT. Porter, addressing the confer ence today, declared he had no inten' tion of interfering in the internal af. fairs of any country, but simply wanted an opportunity to present the American proposal, which had been drawn ur for the good of all.
 Prior to the roll call which Mr. Porter demanded-President Zahle de. livered an analysis of the debate. He disposed of the India charge against the Americans by saying: "It is of quite secondary importance"
 Serious Work Expected
 Now that the agenda has been strengthened out the conference is ex' pected to get down to serious com mittee work. Despite today's adverse vote, India remains in the conference Other countries that abstained from voting were Bolivia, France, Greece Holland, Portugal, Jugosalyia and Turkey.
