Z IA,, :bI'Vi FARMERS' EiACATIOr Ap AND CO-OPERATIVE UNION -OF AMERICA IPickens County Union Column J. T. BOGUS, R EV. W. C. SEABORN end, JOEL MILLER, Committee In Charge. THE CURRENT CROP. Business Agent Eubanks, of the National Cotton Handling Commission, created at the last annual convention of the Farm ers' Union, reports that the re cent session of the executive committee of the commission at Memphis achieved definite prog Yess in plans looking to the mar keting of the incoming crop of cotton. The handling commission has established headquarters in Memphis and is rapidly concen trating the details involved in the widespreading plans sanc tioned at Fort Worth. "The agent of the Parmers' Union at Manchester, England, Maurice Grevile," said Mr. Eu banks, "reports to us that his negotiations with the English spinners are proceeding with gratifying success. He has been actively at work for several weeks, ad he finds the senti nient in England for direct deal ing with the cotton producers of the South is growing rapidly. "Many of the largest spin ners in Great Britain and on the continent have expressed their willingness to co-operate with the Farmers' Union in direct sales of cotton, thus eliminating the imi(dlenan. "It must be understood, how ever, that an undertaking of so vast a nature cannot be brought to a culniination without long and painstaking labor. Innum erable factors enter into the consideration of the whole prop osition, new problems arise every day, (and we can best at tain p)ermianent success by 'mkinu haste slowly.' "' ASKED~h TO HOLD COTTON. "In this connection,'' Mr. Eu b:mks continued, "'members of the Farmers' Union should bear in mind their obligation to co operate in this work by strain ing every effort to, hold their cotton until we have matured plans for handling the crop, ac cording to the camp)aign out lined at Fort Worth. A meet ing of the entire commission, consisting of a member from each cotton state, has been call ed for Memphis on the first Monday in October, and it is expected that steps of the ut most importance In the hand ling of the crop will then be de cided upon.' * a'. FALSE REPORTS. Mr. Eubanks spoke wlth much emphasis regarding the rep~orts now being circulate( abroad that the South wouli this season produce a yleld o1 ~14,000,000 bales. "Students and observers i the cotton-belt, as well a~s comn pietenit authorities in this coun try," said Mr. Eubanks, "knov full well the falsity of these re .ports. As --far as America ii concerned, the delus'on that~the Crop woutd mount to 14,000,001 has long ago been dissipated. "Ytin spite of these estabI lished facts~ reporth to the coni 1t9y persist i eircul~ g h 4 4 T Spinners ih and the cobtinent ha 1 spet representati6 to 1 th< states, vhtaged :wie * exhaustive investigati the mcondition and volpne the yield. They have, Ii. a d tion, availed themselrei sources of information Mids quiry afforded by the Farme Union. .The results of tly investigations have satisfi many of the spinners that t yield this season will be radio ly under 14,000,000 bales. "Others, however, are mis by the deliberately circulat rumors regarding a bumu crop. As a consequence in mai instances both, spinners a cloth-buyers are slow in maki1 contracts, cherishing the bell that later figures will sh9w i increase In the yield. INVESTIGATION.' "As fast. however, as t agents of the spinners mal their own investigations, th are able to assure their emplo ers as to the true status in ti cotton-belt. So that it may expected within a short whi even the stubborn Europe bear rumors will be given i material for circulation and ti marketing of the crop will pr ceed without delay."
