The following statement is made public today by the committee .and covers many points nbottt which ;frequent inquiry is made: Character or the Organizatiou I It is n corporation organized under I our own state law?, having as stock? holders southern people among whom ;are farmers, bankers, merchants. 1 teachers, lawyers, doctors snd others interested dire Uy or indirectly In acelng that cotton Is marketed effl Iclently and without loss to growers, lit Is the practical outgrowth of many years of effort on the part of cotton producers to better the conditions nf l footing the market inn of cotton, i During the past summer a success? ful effort was made to increase Jhe number of cotton warehouses and to make available to cotton growers an ohiclnl grading service. The organ? isation of the export, corporation fol i lows naturally as the next logical step toward bringing Into existence the ef? ficient marketing of cotton. In other words the activities of individuals and of farmers' organizations in years past have not been, as some think, thrown away, but have l>een essential steps in leading up to the actual marketing of cotton as proposed by the corpora? tion. The conditions in the cotton mar? ket now do not admit of argument as to whether some action should he quickly taken. Farmers ore now holding cotton with more determina? tion than nt any time in the past. The corporation will oe one means of hnully putting this cotton on the mar? ket. Peat effort* to- market cotton by Interests friendly to the growers have I largely been broken up before gaining much headway. This, of course, has been done by those whose interest lie in buying cotton from growers as cheaply us possible. How Orguuizcd. Tho plans for organizing the cor? poration are such thai selfish interests cannot gain control. This is forestall? ed through on arrangement by which tho voting power remains in the hunds of a number of Individuals, each one of whom has been known by cotton growers for yens ns being always friendly to their interests. These in? dividuals are men of undoubted ability and character BO that even if un? friendly interests should attempt to LOntrol the activities ol the corpora? tion by buying up stock they would lind it impossible. This arrangement tor concentrating voting power Is com mon among corporation*. U is not desired, however, thai a voting proxy run indefinitely, and December 31st, 1922. has been set u? the time when the proxies shall end This will af? ford sufficient time for the corpora? tion to prove without unfriendly in? terruption the soundness of the idea of direct marketing of cotton. The California rulsln growers sign away all eights In the marketing of the entire crop for periods of ftvc years at a time, in order to secure the benefits of cooperative effort in marketing They have learned through bitter ex? perience that it pays, it Is n signitl* runt tact that the rulffln growers now constitute one of the most prosperous classes of farmers. To grve voting | wer to reliable proxies for a short p >rlod on a small and fixed amount of stock Is, therefore, a eomi>aratlvely . ma'.l concession towards securing ef? ficiency and saviug lost motion.

Nov. 11 (By the Associated Preys).?Lord Robert Cecil, one of the chief authors of the league of nations covenant, who is coming to the assembly of the league as a dele? gate from South Africa, will support the proposed immediate admission to the league of former enemy states. It Is expected here. Italy, Switzer? land, tin- Scandinavian states and some of the South American nations are understood to lv favorable to such a plan. France, Belgium. Rumania. Jugo? slavia and Czeoho-Slovukla will re? sist the admission id' Germany and Hungary although they are not un? favorable to Austria and Bulgaria. There are indications in league circles that the drift toward admission of former enemy countries is strong and likely to reach the necessary two third of the member.* unless a coin - promise is effected. The sentiment is growing that, whatever may be the merits of the rase, the discussion in the assembly ? s likely to develop a sharp contro? versy, which the leading members of the league desire to avoid. At the first session it is probable the immediate admission of Austria and Bulgaria will be proposed and an effort made to have action in the rase of Oermriny postponed to an? other meeting, probably In the spring. Attention is being directed to the .iVioinaly <>f admitting Germany while she stil Iis technically at war with the United S;..tes. Czechoslovakia is* stoutly opposed to the admission of llungai.> und Is unable to support the entry of Germany hut it Is understood she will not contest the admission of Austria und Bulgaria, who now ap? pear nearly sine of election.

Fall-sown <?ats usually grow more vigorously and mature from 10 days to 2 weeks earlier than those sown In the spring. This earlier maturity often marks the , difference between success and fall j lire, as the later maturing grain is more likely to be injured by storms or [drought and by rust and other plant diseases. Oats require comparatively cool weather for their best growth, so that those which mature earliest usu? ally yield best, as the conditions are better suited to their development The early maturity incident to fall seeding also allows the crop to be removed from the land earlier than spring seeding, giving more time for the preparation of the soil, seeding, and the growth of the following crop.
