Fort Worth, Oct. 8.—Since the local
Chamber of Commerce began hand-
ling distress cotton, it has paid out
$(>,000 to Tarrant county tenant
farmers on the “Buy-a-Bale" basis.
This organization was only recently ^
enlisted in this movement and the
above figures do not constitute a
large number of purchases made by
Fort Worth firms and individuals.
It is estimated that $15,000 has
been distributed among the farmers
in this county for ten cent cotton.
