W. A. Graham, Commissioner of Agriculture, strongly endorsed the movement, saying he was the first man to sign the old con tract in bis county and that he was ready to sign again. E. B. Crow, Vice President of the Commercial National Bank of Raleigh, expressed his belief in the‘‘Association and his con fidence in the management. He urged the erection in Rafieigh of a suitable office building which the cotton growers could call tueir own and which would be a source df pride to every member of the Association. Mr. C. 0.

We have improved the produc tion end of agriculture, oow we need to improve our marketing methods to increase our profits from growing cotton. V. E. Peuntain, Tarboro, said be was against cooperative mark eting at first heQause he thought it would hurt his business, but he finds he was mistaken and that he is a strong believer in it now and that members receive a lit tie more cordial welcome on the part of his firm than others.
