Southern States emphatically declared
today that 'they would work diligently
to secure the adoption of the
Louisana plan in their States, South
Carolina, and Georgia.
I Mr. Thompson explained in his ad.
dress that by reason of the fact that

Already, he said, he had been assured
that financiers of Europe will as soon
as the first of these State-owned
plants is opened, send money here to
lend to the farmers with these receipts*
as collateral at 4 per cent.
Former Fnited States Senator John

his hearty endorsement to the Louis
ana plan at todays session 01 tne
conference. "I want to go back to
South Carolina anil tell my people all
about this wonderful plan" he said,

Accepting the government's estimate ,
of over 13,800,000 bale crop this season,
Gov. Colquett declared that the
demonstration of a world demand for
13,800,000 bales proves conclusively
that cotton today is worth 13 cents
per pound or mtore. The average
price last year'B crop was 14.60 cents
per pound.
"Wi'tfi ithese flg^rgrs before him

should not hesitate to hold every remaining

the Bplnner comes across with
what he considers a remunerative
price."
