learns that there has been a
very material advance made, in
the price of cotton seed meal.
This would also indicate that
the cotton seed meal ma i ifa*
turers want to reap a rum har¬
vest over the present prosperity
of the cotton farmers.
It is a fact that the Cotton
Growers Association ilirongh
its organization has shown to
the world that ail the farmers
need is concerted action fo get
a just price for their produce.
For years farmers have had
others to place a price upon the'
articles that they produce but
tion now they are gening in a nosi
to dictate prices to those
who purchase their commodi¬
ties. 80 it would seem that or¬
ganization is the proper thing
to bring about good results.

standard, ami occupy a prominent
place in every library of importance.
His private museum is one of the
