act by taw a maximum price of 20
cents a pound. Long before these bills
made their appearance, the commis
sioners of agriculture and market di
rectors had perfected a strong
ganization and placed their own rep
resentatives in Washington far the
purpose ef keeping thoroughly In
formed upon nay efforts which might
be made in thlrdirection; so that the
organization might take necessary
steps to prevent the enactment of
any adverse legislation ef this charac
ter.
This organisation, which was per
fected at the New Orleans meeting ol
the commissioners with the beginning
of this year, is known ns the Cotton
States Official Advisory Marketing
Board, and was designed specifically
to protect the Interests of the cotton
fanner in marketing his crop. Com

ganization; J. E, Rogers, president
of the Arkansas State Farmers’ Un

This board is keeping constant
watch on the cotton situation in Wash
ington through its' representatives
there, to whom already thousands of
letters have been sent addressed to
their representatives end senators,
urging that any effort to interfere
with the cotton market by legal en
actment shall be defeated. ' There
will be wide open meeting of Geor
gia farmers from all parts of the state
in the hall of the house of representa
tives in Atlanta on Mny I, one of
whose purposes will be to take cogni
zance ef this very question.
While this meeting is called by the
State Farmers’ Union, every farmer
In Georgia is invited to attend aad a

valuable at this time. It b unques
tioned that this meeting will adopt
strenuous resolutions opposing any
congressional action with reference
to thep rice of cotton. .
