EYES OF WORLD ON
COTTON GROWERS
Question is How Determined
are Farmers to Overcome
Ol dMarketing Plan
Little Rock, Dec. 7.—Next
week, known as “Victory
Week in the Arkansas 200,
000 bale cotton pool campaign
will determine the success or
failure of the movement to
put the cotton marketing ma
chinery in the hands of the
tarmors ol the state, according
to John D. Eldridge, president
ot the Arkansas Farm Bureau
Federation, which is sponsor
ing the activity.
W ith the working forces
largely arranged and with
100,000 bales already signed,
it is now the move for every
farmer in the state to stand
together, Mr. Eldridge says.
More than 2,000 leading Ark
ansas farmers have taken the
initiative in carrying the move
ment as far as it is today, but
they can go no farther with it
unless another 5,000 join them
during Victory Week.
“There is a time to do ev
erything," declares this prom
inent farmer from Woodruff
county, “and the time has
come when the success or
failure, the life or death of the
movement for the control of
the cotton marketing machin
ery of Arkansas now becomes
the individual responsibility
of every cotton farmer. The
coming week will determine
whether we farmers are good
enough men to do something
for ourselves, and the question
resolves itself down simply to
whether we shall devote the
coming week to the success of
the cotton pool and marketing
contract.
“We have been told by the
newspapers of the country
that the eyes of the world are
upon Arkansas today. The
farmers of Oklahoma. Texas,
Mississippi, North Carolina,
and Arizona have completed
their pools, and the world
wants to know whether the
farmers of the South mean
business this time. The farm
ers of the South have fought
desperately for generations
in trying to solve the cotton
marketing problem, and now
is the first time that victory
is actually within their grasp.
“I am sure that we farmers
of Arkansas will not fail the
South. We shall not fail in
this step to overcome the curse
of unfair prices.”

GOOD FOR McNIDER
“If pardon is granted to
Debs or others fairly convict
ed of treason or sedition dur
ing a time wh,en the nation’s
very life was at stake, the lives
of those boys who lie on the
fields of France and those
who lie broken in hospitals
have indeed been sacrificed in
vain. No leniency should be
shown those traitors who stab
bed us in the back while we
were giving our all to our
country.”
The above is a copy of a
telegram recently sent to
President Harding by Hand
ford McNider, National com
mander of the American Le
