FARM BOARD WILL
 AID COTTON CROP

Washington, Oct. 92 CP}-As the first major step Of it's career, the fed i crM farm board has worked out q plan for improving the present price of cotton and is prepared to take similar action on wheat under q pro- icct to be announced later.
 The board is Of the opinion that prevailing cotton prices arc too low, and the solution lies in more orderly marketing of this years crop, II is prepared to lend an unlimited amount Of money to the cotton growers, that they may hold their product off the market.
 Too Rapid Marketing Ana]yzng the present cotton mar k"t, the board thinks that open fall weather in the southern states has led 10 too rapid marketing, NTith world consumption meanwhile on C level equal 10 that of last year and the total supply of American cot ton at a lesser stage than q year ago. More cotton, it believes has been rushed into the market than it can temporarily absorb, with resulting depressed prices and lack of conf dence in cotton values.
 To assist the growers 10 hold back their crop and meanwhile meet their financial obligations, the board proposes to lend to cotton coopcra- tives. qualified as borrowers under the Capper-Nolstoad act. "sums suf- flcient to bring the total amount bor- rowed from all sources hy such as- sociations 10 1G cents par pound on graded and cIasse1 cotton, basis middling savon-nights inch staple, less proper deductions to cover freight charges,
 Corporations Organized
 In statement announcing its plan, the board pointed out that there is cotton cooperative in every cotton growing state open 10 membership Of every cotton farmer. The grower may join the CO., operative, the statement continued, ship his cotton 10 it's concentration point. and draw his advance after it has been graded and classified.
 The cooperative will market thc cotton in orderly fashion through inc year, sald the board, and will finally settle with the farmer Ion the basis Of the final price obtained"
