Pan Antonio, Texas, June 1! —
Mr. W, T. Louderinilk. ohairman
of the snb-couinittee on cotton
marketing of the Texas Welfare
Commission, made his report to
the Commission in session in this
city last week, favoring the hold-
ing plan adopted by the banner's
I'nion, and suggested thai funds
be provided for lending money
at six per cent on distress cotton
and recommended that the busi-
ness interests co-operate wit,h the
farmers in semiring better prices
for their products. The plan line
been tried out by the Farmers'
Union, nnd its efficiency in reg-
ulating prices demonstrated, and
with more complete co-operation
on the part of the business in-
terests can be made a powerful
factor in price-making.
Mr. Loudermilk is a practical
farne'i, ex-president of the Pal -
mers' I tiion, and one of the
closest students of agricultural
conditions in the South.
