TEXAS BUREAU HAD
ARRANGED. MARKETING

DALLAS. Texas. Aug. l9.-iPl--
While the Texas Farm Bureau Cot
ton association had made arrange
ments for financing movement and
marketing OF that part OF the 1923
Texas cotton crop 1t controls. the
Farmers Marketing association OF
America Immediately planned TO ask
the federG farm board to advance
SO 900 900 for the marketing OF the
cotton held by the Farm Market as
sociation membership, 1t was an
nounced here today.
Harry Williams. secretary treas
urer Of the Texas Farm Bureau Cot
ton association, said his group was
entitled to a material loan from the
farm board. due to the fact that the
farm bureau association owns and
operates numerous cotton gins and
warehouses. and has physical pro-
perties that would warrant a large
loan.
I'VE have already arranged for
financing this years crop. and for
that reason do not find 1t neces-
sary to ask federal aid at this time,
he said.
w. B. Yeary. presidetn Of the
Farmers Marketing association oi
America. said his organization was
determined that the cotton growers
Of the south shall have a det<rmi-
mint voice in the price Of cotton.
cit is not probable that we will
even attempt to cooperate with the
Texas Farm Bureau Cotton aSsoci-
alton. which group is not interested
in setting the crop price" he added

OF the cotton.
Loan 25 Per Cent
''The federal farm board proposes
to loan an additional 25 per cent
total Of 90 per cent for the two

which definite value has been fixed
by hedging in the future markets.
"The total volume OF advances Of
this sort to be made by the federal

tn actual requirements Of the cot
ton cooperative associations. 1t Is
expected the sum involved for this
years marketing operations will run
somewhere between $5.000,000 and
s1n000,000

by the federal farm board. the an
nouncement continued. will be TO
permit the cooperative association
TO make final settlement with the

merchandise the cotton in an or
