ers, Mr. Gray stated Saturday that he
expected that whatever interest tire
farmers had in the association would
be manifested by their (presence
Thursday. Mr. Gray said that he felt
that he spoke for the local committee
in saying that unless the farmers ex
pressed their interest by attending
the meetig that the committee would
not feel justified in prosecuting the
campaign further. However, he said,
he was very interested in t*e cotton
organization himself and thought that
much good for the cotton growers
could come out of^t and for that rea
son hoped that the farmers would sup
port it.

self-explanatory, was as follows:
