will hold two meetings to give
demonstrations in dress mak
ing. The first meeting will be

COTTON ASSOCIATION
The work on the Arkansas
Cotton Growers Co-operative
Association is gaining head
way every day, in this county
and from the reports from
other oarts of the state there
is little doubt that the associa
tion will get the 200,000 bales
signed up that they are after
by the first day of January.
It will be a great misfortune to
the cotton growers of the
state if the association does
not get the required number
of bales by January 1st.
Many farmers admit that
they think the association is a
great thing but are not sign
ing because they want to
wrait and see what their neigh
bor is going to do. If every
one does that there will never
be an association and all ’the
work done on it will be wast
ed. If you think it is a good
thing do not wait for someone
to come around and beg you
to sign but go to a little trou
ble yourself and look up the
secretary of your local Farm
Bureau and sign one of the
blanks that he has.
The following is a list of
the secretaries of the local
Farm Bureaus each of whom
have bleak contracts in their
possession. Go to one of these
men today and sign one of
them.
Oil Trough, Herbert Hines.
Desha, Ferry Karmon.

If it is not convenient for
you to go to one of these men
come to the Chamber of Com
merce when you are in Bates
ville and the county agent or
s. eretary of the Chamber of
Commerce will fill one out for
you. DO NOT PUT THIS
OFF for if you do we may
nefer get the quota that is set
for this county.
Almost without exception
every man wno nas nearu me
association explained is very
enthusiastic about it. If you
1 ave not heard it explained
go to someone who can ex
plain it to you as it means
money in your pocket. This
i ssociation is for you and you
and the other farmers who
sign will be the only ones to
be benefited by it.
If you are the man who is
waiting to see whether the
Farm Bureau plan will work
before you join, perhaps you
are the same fellow who
wa its to go to Heaven before
you accept the gospel.
The quota for Independen
ce county in the Cotton Grow
ers’ Association is 4,834. Up
to date something like nine
teen hundred bales have been
signed up. Are you going to
wait and have to be begged
to join this association when
you know you are to be the
beneficiary to the extent of
perhaps fifty per cent more
than you have been getting
for your cotton? Why not
call at the office of the Coun
ty Agent and sign up your
tract now?
Let’s get our quota for In
dependence county in the
Cotton Growers Association
so we can take up the other
co-operative measures —sweet
potatoes, strawberries, etc.
We must get our quota in
_

tion before January 1, else we
are lost.
Sweet potato warehouses,
strawberries and co-operative
marketing are going to be
talked of next.
The community where the
most money is in circulation is
the one that has the most
dairy cows. The cream busi
ness is an all year crop.

BERRY GROWERS COMBINE
Plan Better Organization For
Marketing the Crop
Searcy, Sept. 23.—A move
ment is on foot to organize
the 14 strawberry associations
in this section into a combined
district association, in order
to distribute the product with
out overloading the market.
All of these strawberry asso
ciations are in White county
except two, one at Ward in
Lonoke county, and one at
Cabot. Sweet potatoes will
be handled in the same way.
Some man who is qualified to
properly route these products
so as not to have one associa
tion come in competition with
another will be chosen by the
district association if the plan
materializes. *
