It le-a marketing organization com-- salesmen they can find for this pur pose, and oversee their work. What is the membership fee? 15.00,. This ie the first and last membership fee ever to be paid. What does a member obligate him self to do when he signs the market- ling contract, now? To sell all of crop through the association for the years, 1923, 1924, 1925 and 1926. What happens to the member if the directly as possible t* aplansrs How doss the cotton pool work? All cotton of similar grads and clnsa Is put into oa* lot. Each pool con* tlnuca for on* season If nil of tha pool Is not sold or contracted for at onca. some may be sold at on* time and some at another, all at the best possible price. If parts of the pool are sold at differenet prices, thee* prices will be averaged, and the avei* age value per pound secured for all the cotton in the pool*is paid to each member. It ie not fair that one mem ber of the pool should have either a higher or a lower price than every other member, since neither the Asso ciation nor any member is responsible h opoon Ma**d«ng oose Iks ipe ed v . a CasaAwa e*t rtb CaenRaa those days, kedh tag aad wad band enefasud t esaet be etnsrh a *U Us neud af ado- aaaie asemtonaeo sf ruadi already bath It hue reawe to he tike sdsa to ■keener* pa egress ta rnwd work by Us number of highways built arHJk- sat regard to the ability to keop them ap.
