Offi- si cials of the American Cotton Asso- C ciation and representatives of the E Bureau of Markets will be present si ilso. y I The extracts below from Director1 Long's letter will be of interest in ' 2xplaining the matter. "The Bureau of Markets of the ' United States Department of Agri- * :ulure has appointed a number of :otton grader throughout the cotton n T< selt durinc the last several vears. rhe Department's object is to dem-: jnstrate the advisability of having ; :he farmer's cotton graded and ^ stapled by a competent disinterest-: ?d party. The Deparment feels ;hat the farmer should have the ;ame information as to the grade ^ ind staple of his cotton as the pro-1 ;pective purchaser; the Department' ilso feels that this service will be ^ velcomed by cotton buyers as it re(|; noves the possibility of suspicion from the mind of the farmer as to <i( he buyer not grading and stapling ^ lis cotton properly." ^ "Two-thirds of the counties of the w State have made application for the p( ippointment of these graders. We S? lave secured a sufficient number of j ^raaers to supply twenty counties." j "We want to disabuse the minds 1 >f the cotton trade that those men j ire in any way antagonistic to their j nterests; we want the cotton trade I o understand that these men are to j erve impartially the buyer and the g, eller. The Government is deternined that this first step in the sci-'^ intific marketing of the farmer's vj otton shall be made a success." j, "I believe this matter can be R horoughly understood by having ei he buyers of the State meet with G he government cotton graders their vi iroblems discussed, and a proper cc ~ in i se & m 0 ' , th | 1 w T!
