COTTON GROWING TO BE
CLOSELY SUPERVISED
Executive Committee To See
That No Grower Violates
50 - 50 Plan — Penalty
Suspension of Credit
Another meeting of the
farmers, merchaants and bank
ers of Woodruff County was
held in this city Tuesday and
the delegates voted unanimous
ly to adopt the Memphis plan
with one exception and thtft
was a 50-50 acreage instead of
one third.
Mr. A. E. Ridgeway, one of
the three delegates from
Barnes, voted for one-third to
be planted in cotton, sitating
that his people had voted 22
to 20 in favor of such a plan
while Mr. R. E. Holder, anoth
er member of the Barnes dele
gation, voted for the 50-50
plan, stating that he was not
instructed to vote otherwise.
When the vote had been taken,
Mr. Ridgeway moved that it
be made unanimous for the
50-50 plan which prevailed.
It is proposed to solicit every
cotton grower in the county to
sign a pledge and to appeal to
his honor in living up to the
provisions of same, and any
who will not do so will face
a suspension of credit which
is the chief measure relied
upon to bring the backward
man into line with those who
are trying to create a better
price for their product.
The following were named
the executive committee who j
will select men in each town-i
ship to report any who may
not be co-operating properly:
J. H. Dale of White River, T.
E. Bonner of Augusta, W. E.
Jelks of Barnes, L. L. Cole of;
Cache and J. W. Hill of Cotton
Plant. The organization was
made permanent and will be
known as the Woodruff Coun
ty Cotton Growers Association.'

NO FORESIGHT
Old Si Chestnut said: “My foresight is
never as good as my hindsight—not by a
darned sight.”
We are all troubled that way more or less.
Foresight usually paints a rosy picture that
hindsight proceeds to smear with a very drab
tint. If we knew what was going to happen
even 24 hours ahend, we would all be rich.
But we don’t know. The only way to judge
the future is by the past. The men who work
and save, get ahead, especially when they keep
their money at our Bank. Try this plan.
