PAULS VALLEY DEMOCRAT, AUGUST 11. 1921.
Definite organization of the
cot on growers of the South into
what is said to he the world's most
powerful co-operative marketing
association was accomplished at
a meeting at Memphis, August 1,
when Oklahoma, Texas, Mississ-
ippi and Arizona joined in the for-
mation of the American Cotton
Growers Exchange.
Carl Williams, editor Oklahoma
Farmer-Stockman and leader in
the organization of the Oklahoma
Cotton Growers Association and
the formation of the national plan,
was chosen as head of ihe ex-
change in the capacity of chair-
man of the board of trustees. C.
O. Moser, secretary of the Texas
Cotton Growers Association was
named as secretary of the national
organization. Dallas was select-
ed as temporary headquarters of
the exchange. .
h addition to the states actu-
ally organized and participating
iofflcOly in the formation of the
exchange, the meeting was atten-
ded by representatives of nearly
all cotton producing states now
organizing co-operative cotton
marketing associations. All are
said to have evidenced keen inter-
est in the national body and to
have expressed it as the intention
of their several state assocations
to join in it as soon as their res-
pective membership campaigns
shall have been successfully com-
pleted.
Plans for the formation of the
American Cotton Growers Ex-
change were worked out and ad-
opted at a conference at Oklaho-
ma City in April. These plans
were later approved at a second
conference at Memphis the next
month.
Government of the American
Cotton Growers Exchange is to be
vested in a board of trustees.
Each member association is enti-
tled to one tru; ' and one addi-
tional trustee for each 250,00(1
bales or major portion thereof
lepresented on its standard mark-
eting agreement. The Oklahoma
I tru: tees are Carl Williams, Okla-
homa City, Walter Colbert, Ard-
more, president of the Oklahoma

Association, and R. C. Kennedy of
Pauls Valley, vice-president of
the Oklahoma body. All attenileu
the Memphis meeting and have
been active in the co-operative
cotton marketing movement since
the Oklahoma organization was
| first proposed.
It is expected that the Associa-
tions now forming in Arkansas,
i Georgia, Alabama. North and
South Carolina will join with the
four states already members as
| rapidly as they complete thoir
sign-up campaigns.
I Of the executive committee of
five provided for in the plan of
organization of the exchange,
three were elected at the August
1st meeting. The.v are: (*arl Wil-
liams, chairman of the exchange
J. R. Orr of Dallas, president of
the Texas Association, W. S. Ste-
vens of Phoenix, vice-president of
the Arizona Pimacotton Grow-
ers.
Of the several departments of
the exchange as proposed only a
part will begin functioning im-
mediately. No attempt will be
made to handle the 1921 crop, ow-
ing to the lateness of the season.
Each member association will sell
its own cotton this year. The le-
gal department of the exchange is
now in operation with Aaron Sa-
piro of San Francisco, general
counsel for the Oklahoma A~-;o-
ciation at its head.
The field service department is
also ready to begin its activities
immediately. This department is
in charge of C. O. Moser, secre-
tary of the Elxchange. It wiil as-
sist with the organization work in
the various states. It will assist
these states in securing as com-
plete a sign-up as is possible be-
fore the 1922 crop moves.
Each member association of the
exchange will have the right to
sell its own cotton without put-
ting it through the national body, :
but all expenses of the exchange
are to be borne by the member as-
sociations on a basis of all cotton
produced by their members. All
facilities and information of the
exchange are available to each as-
sociation.
It is the expressed opinion of
leaders in this national cotton
marketing movement that it rep-
resents the greatest forward step
ever taken toward orderly mark-
eting for any crop and that it
opens a new era in the history of
cotton and of the South.

What Is Every Mother's Hope
For Her Children?
Sturdy, energetic children radiating; health, are
a source of pride and joy to their parents. And
their development depends largely on their food.
Children, undernourished and unwisely fed are
weak and unhealthy, and many times anemic. Disease
easily grasps them, for their undeveloped constitu-
tions are unable to resist the disease germs.
No food will have greater influence in making
your children vigorous and healthy than Grape-Nuts.
Served with milk or cream, Grape-Nuts is an ideal
body, brain and nerve food. It is made from wheat
and barley. Grape-Nuts offers a high food value,
and it is as delicious as it is healthful.
Children find delight in the crisp, sweet rich-
ness of Grape-Nuts.
A dish at breakfast or lunch for a few days
and you'll agree "There's a Reason" for Grape-Nuts.
Nutrition and economy comhined.
