Ing fall la the time to force up cotton to a Axed minimum price, because then the consumers of the raw material will be shortest of supplies. Now Is the tlmo for you to put yuurself In a pualllnn where you will not be forced to sell your cotton at the prices of fered for the new crop, unless those prices are remunerative or are the prices Axed by the association. I have called attention to the Importance of this principle before, and I trust the producers have lieemproceedltig on thle line.
