time will be pleased to have
an opportunity of hearing him
discuss the Cooperative Mar-
keting of this season’s cotton.
Col. Ousiey was assistant
secretary, U. S. Department of
Agriculture under the last ad-
ministration, and is eminently
fitted to talk on the condition
of the cotton market at this
time. His talk will be in the
interest of the drive now being
conducted in Texas and the
other cotton growing states to
sell the cotton cooperatively
through a federated assoch^
j tion of the various state .^imp-
erative associations, .thus elim-
inating the present wasteful
method of selling cotton and
bringing to the cotton grow-
ers a larger share of the ulti- .
mate returns for the crop. The
prosperity of the South is de-
pendent on the welfare of the
cotton grower. The cooper***
tive marketing of farm pro-
ducts lias been developed suc-
cessfully in California with
results very satisfactory to the
farmers there. The Texas Cot-
ton Growers Cooperative Mar-
keting Association is organized
along the same lines as the
California Fruit Growers As-
sociation and the results are
expected to be as satisfactory
as the California association.
Col. Ousiey is a speaker of
National reputation arid is ex-
celled by none in his grasp of
th eproblems of the South.
Every one interested in cot-
ton should hear Col. Ousiey
