The Daily Press Begins to Discover j
"Something Doing."
Below we reprint some of the
things the daily press is saying. The
efforts of the Cotton Growers' Asso-
ciation and the Farmers' Union to
build up and maintain a decent price
for cotton were given scant consider-
ation a few months since. Now the
daily press half way concedes that
the movement among farmers ha3
been one influence in raising prices.
Why, bless your soul, that is all the
farmers claimed. The honor of a
good price lies in a demand for more
cotton than has been raised during
the past two years. It was for gather-
ing full information about supply and
demand and scattering this informa-
tion and getting a concert of action
upon the information thus obtained
and disseminated that the movement
was begun.
But read what the daily press now
