Following 1? a copy of (bo offiolol report u approved \>j tho convention: Alliance Cotton Cooperative Board.? Plao of Organisation : I This hoard shall consist of one member from each of tho cotton Steles co-operating in the work. The delegates comprising this meeting may elect the first board, which, when ratified by tbo president and executive committee of the Slate alliance, shall hold that office till January 1, 1894. The regular term of office for the members of this board shali be for one year, and shall commence on the 1st day of June of each year. Tbc board may divide the work end employ suitable managers for each department. Two distinct lines of work aro to be coudueted: I. The cotton producers are to be organized into three divisions: (a) Those who raise leas than 40 bales ; (b) those who raise 40 bales and less than 100 ha'es; (c) those who produce more thnn 100 bales; those who would be in the second or third division may be secured from the Alliance county secretaries, and tliey may be called by mail to a point nt which a full representative meeting can bo secured, that they may be organized through the sub-Alliance. The co-operation ofcupitul is to he secured oy mo eiconon 01 a coiiiimiiiiiioii or one from each cotton State, an J when there is n business agent, if it is practicable, he should be the repreeentative, und the combination of one from each Slate shell elect an executive committee. These two branches of work nro to be kept entirely separate, (ho object being t* enable a joint line of work, the second and third division to help themselves, an I by the eeoond line of woikte ussiet and help the first division by advancing on (li ir crept and emancipating lit em from practical ioduitrial slavery. We suggest that circulars from State Alliances in the cotton States, inviting all farmsrs and planters interested in the production of cetlon, to meet different local Alliances in open sessions in neighborhoods where Alliances are now eeteblishod, for consultation, ?s (o fits business of pi educing, handling and making their | redouts ?l a profit. Where no Alliance cxids in neighborhoods, invite farmers and planters not connected with tho Alliance, to hold imilar meetings, elect their officers and furnish the required information to the national cotton coinbinution on precisely the same foofing as if connected with iho order. Circular forms of questions on which full information shall be desired, lo lie prepared in a form that cannot be misunderstood, embracing every point as near us possible, such as follows: Enrollment, of name ef each lauded producer ; number of acres of each in cultivation of cdtou, com, peas and hay; number of niu'es, number of bands employed and capital nvailah e to ran tin* farin for next year; can increased cnpild be secured locally? Is so, at what. co?t; and all ether items the board may conceive of the slightest importance as information, se as to actually determuis the needs of the cotton producers. Ask in circular suggestions as lo the best IjOI one mail ne appointed in ram vsiUutj, when organized or tlio services of ono interested. '2.
