30 CENTS-A POUND
\^XE0 FOR CtTTON.
Mew ojetijls, Oct 2.—A price
of 30 cents a pound to the farm-
"~cf was agreed upon at a meeliu#
here Tuesday of men interested
in marketing and growing of cot-
ton in 10 Southern States as
* justified by the present selling
(price of manufactured cotton
products. The price was sug-
gested in ar. amendment to a re-
solution, adopted previously,
which declared against price re-
gulation of cotton by congress or
delegating this authority to any
other body.
The amendment, introduced by
L. B. Jackson, director of the
Georgia bureau of markets, %
recognized'fea compromise mea-:
sure r and wiffl adopted almost
unanimously!;-' -
Unsuccessful efforts were
made to have "the amendment
r^ad 35 instead of 30 cents.
/ W. B. Yeary of Farmorsville,
' Texas, and Peter Radford of
Austin, Texas, led the movement
to secure a 30-cent minimum.
Following the advice of John
M. Parker, State food admini-
strator, the delegates adopted a
resolution providing for the ap-
pointment of a committee of
seven to confer in Washington
with Herbert Hoover, federal
food administrator, regarding
cotton seed prices,
Resolutions also were adopted
endowing Edward S. Butler of
New Orleans as a member of the
federa^exports board and endors-
ing the movement to have cotton
bales standardized throughout
the cotton belt by making them
of uniform size of 54 inches long
and 27 inches wide.
Speakers at the afternoon ses-
sion included Senator Ransdell
and William B. Thompson, presi-
dent of the New Orleans dock
board, both of whom urged the
growers to market their cotton
judicously.
John A. Simpson, president of
the Oklahoma Farmers Union,
was elected chairman of the
meeting.
The resolution declaring 30
cents a pound justified as a mini-
mum price expressed a belief
that the "proper value fur cot-
ton can be obtained by intelligent
marketing, not by selling on a
declining market and selling
only sparingly on advancing
markets" and urged the co-oper-
ation of merchants, bankers and
other business interests in the
marketing of the product.
Creating of a cotton States of-
ficial marketing board to be com-
posed of commissioners of agri-
culture, directors of marketing
bureaus and presidents of farm-
era unions was w^v'ded for in a-
irresolution . adopted at tonight's
tftoSjBibr). The board will secure
data relative to demand for cot-
ton at home and abroad and dis-
tribute it to the farmers. An
organization will be held tomor-
row.

The Travis Creamery is a
comparatively recent institution
that gives evidence of a fast and
permanent growth.
"11 Was started about two years
ag6 to supply the local trade,
but, the butter has won such a
reputation that the .Houston
market ha's opened to It. The
Rice Institute is supplied by
this Creamery, as are several of
the smalt dealers, No particu-
lar effort has been made to
secure this trade, except that a
sample was furnished.
Three months ago this institu-
tion was making around two
hundred pounds of butter weekly
but the increased demand has
forced production up to nearly a
thousand pounds every six days.
