the field during this week.

the various county agents and
farm bureau officers with the

MARKETING MAN IS
COMING NEXT WEEK
Intensive Campaign to be Con
ducted to Secure County’s
Quota of Cotton
The Farm Bureau decided
I
to wait one week to get their
organization expert so that wre j
could get Mr. Warner Moore
who is at the present time in
Jackson County. Mr. Moore I
was unusually successful in j
getting signatures to the cotton
contracts during the Texas
campaign and has continued
his good work since he has
been in Arkansas. He has
been in Jackson county for the
past two weeks and wre have
received very favorable reports
as to his work there. Jackson
County has just about gone
over the top and they expect
to get the quota by Saturday
night.
Mr. Moore will start an in
tensive campaign in this coun
ty starting Monday and con
tinuing until we have signed;
up our quota which is 4834 !
bales. We believe that we can
set this amount in two weeks
il‘ we have good weather so j
that the farmers will come out
to the meetings that we ex
pect to hold.
We aie receiving good re-,
pol ls as to the progress of the
organization work in other j
parts of the state and every-!
one connected with it is well:
pleased with the way things
are moving. There is no j
doubt as to getting the 200,000
bales in the state before Janu
ary first. Arkansas has a
larger percentage of her quota :
signed now than either Texas j
or Oklahoma had six weeks
before the end of their cam
paigns. In both of those states
the big sign-up came in the1
last two weeks of the cam-1
paign and we can expect the
iame thing here. We have
lie advantage of either of the
other states in the fact that we
have men at the head of our ;(
organizaion who have had ex
perience and who have been
successful in similar campaigns
in Texas and Oklahoma.
These men are here because
they know that the Cotton As- ,
sociation is the best thing that
has ever been started for the
cotton farmer. They KNOW ,
from first hand information ,
that the farmers of Texas and
Oklahoma are receiving from ,
$10 to $25 per bale more for
heir cotton through the asso- ,
riation than they could get on
the street. This is not theory
but facts. Bankers and busi
ness men know this and for
that reason they are, almost (
without exception, indorsing ,
this movement for they know
that when the farmer has
rnuiiey every one lias.
There are ftiany rumors out
as to how the association will
work and some of them are in
correct. It will be to the ad
vantage of every farmer to ask
questions of the people who
know about the association
antil he thoroughly under
stands it, before he makes up
his mind not to sign the con
tract. It has been indorsed
by big farmers, little farmers,
