FARMERS ADVISED TO
INAUGURATE HOLDING MOVE

Chas: S.1 Barrett Tells Farmers
to Go Home and Hold Wheat
and Cotton For Cost of Pro

7 Both Wheat and Cotton.
v. - j
(Theodore Tiller, in Greensboro News.)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29. If the pro-'
itueers of the country follow the recom
mendations Unanimously . lop ted today
by the socond agriculture conference the
greatest holding movement of farm prod
ucts for better prices evei undertaken
-will be made effective throughout the
south and other agricultural sections.
The second conference adjourned to
day after adopting resolutions and hear
ing Charles & Barrett, president of the
Hii'rional farmers union, advise his
farmer audience to go back home and
hold their products especially cotton
and wheat.
During the day 's discissions there had
been further criticism of the federal gov
ernment because it refused to extend the
farmer aid. Eugene Meyer, former' di
rector of tho war finance corporation,
canie from Now York to address the con
vention and sharply criticized Secretary
Houston for suspending the activities of
the corporation at a time when its finan
cial assistance was needed in financing
exjiprts.
i,, . . , . ..TTxnaer we auspices ox craaena 01 do
Mlon, hold your cotton and wheat,' . ,an . nnAfK- ,
was the parting advice in the speeeh of
Charles 8. Barrett, chairman of the
J, meeting. "The fanners' union officials
are being flooded witn messages xrom the
cotton and grain belts to cull for a hold
ing movement. The unrest la the eoun
trv nvr the nrfae ait nation ia dAener and
nioro widespread "than ever before. The
time for action has come. Since govern
ment has failed us, we now ask that gov
ernment officials stop talking price de
cline and give us a chance to nolp our
selves. " i - -
This last reference was to Secretary
Houston and Governor narding of the
reserre board, accused by4he farmers of
isriiiiiig statements about the ooet of liv
ing which beat down producers' prices.
World Soon to Be Ia Need. -
Mr. Barrett said farmers' union offi
cial "interpreted" the resolutions just
adopted by tho e6nference as calling for
n holding movement on wheat and cotton
and probably other farm products. He
In red he had positive inf ormation that
the world noun must have both cotton and
wheat.
"The resolutions adopted by the con
f rence were as reported by a ways, and
means committee. They carried a pr
amble reciting that a "great crisis
i-xists in agriculture" .and this crisis af
fects both farmers and. the great mass
of city dwellers dependent on farmers
for food and clothing. .
Agriculture f had repeatedly sounded
"a warning," tho preamble continued,
in use tho country should know the
facta. Fanners, it was declared, have
borne the brunt of the deflation move
ment after having been urged by the
government to produeo larger crops to
feed the world, these crops having cost
i t-iiormously in produetion.
I "As a result of deflation and lack of
foreign markets," the resolution contin
ued, "farmers today find themselves
I without a remunerative market for their
i products, and sometimes without market
at any price. Through the lack of credit
livestock producers are being forced to
throw unfinished livestock upon -the mar
ket, and producers of cotton, grain and
fruits find it impossible to realise even
approximately the first cost of produe
tion. "No such thing aa orderly marketing
is now possible. All of these facto novo
been repeatedly brought to the attention
of high officials , of our government, in
cluding tho secretary of tho treasury and
governor of tho federal reserve board,
but without avail."

Th resolution then called for specific
act km along eight lines as follows: .
That all farmers' join existing market
ing organizations in their communities,
or form such organizations if non-existent.
That all farm commodities be market
ed -co-operatively jn aa orderly manner,
"that is. throughout the 12-months pe
riod from one harvest until the next as
the demand requires, known as tho eon
sumption year, plus a normal safety

WEATHER PREDICTIONS
FOR NEXT WEEK
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30 Weather
predictions for the week beginning Mon
day are:
Middle Atlantic states: Unsettled
weather and probably rains first half and
generally fair second half of week; tem
perature will be below normal .
South Atlantic and east gvlf states:
Unsettled weather and rains first half and
generally fair second half of week. Cool,
frosts again in the interior after Tues
day. N s ' ,
ceipts xfor farm products or a proper
pit-lit; o of. farm inventories. Also to con
sider the .advisability of establishment of
a great national agricultural bank with
a directorate chr6en from farm organisa
tions. ,
Creation of a "public relations com
mittee" on which the consumer and the
laboring class may be represented along
with the agriculturist.
All Sections Represented.
Thcise resolutions were drafted by a
committee of 16 representing all gections
and the different branches of farming
an.l headed by John Tromble, of Kangas,
the sjiokesman for western wheat grow
ers. It was decided not to se a -specified
pri.v for any commodity, but lo urje
the produter to keep off tho market his
product until he can obtain a pricequal
iziii at least the ' cost of production."
President Barrett assorted in conclu
sion that the world must have both cot
ton and wheat.
"The worldjs wheat situation is
Hiich, " he said, "that I know that even"
a slight holding movement among Ameri
can farmers will lift the price of wherit.
I know also tho world cannot go much
longer without southern cotton." The
1920 crop is not a large crop and spin
ners must have our cototn shortly. It ia
a- question whether the speculator or
farmer will carry this cotton and the
farmer cannot do otherwise this year. It
would bankrupt most fanner and mer
chant communities ' to sell at present
prices. Those who have loaned money on
cotton production can and muat allow the
farmer time extension.
"The national farmers union advises
every cotton grower to hold back his cot
ton for cost of production.'
After that the delegates started hose
ward promising to aid ia a gigantic hold
ing movement which will ' affect all
classes -of Droducer and consumers as

PROMISE OF SPEEDY AND
HAPPY OUTCOME IN MEXICO
Secretary Colby Announces
That Discussions Promise
Early Settlement of Condi
tions. WASHINGTON Oct. 30 Announce
ment by Hesretary Colby that "discus
sions with the confidential agent of the
new administration in Mexico ''gave prom
ise of a speedy and happy out-come' '
was believed today to be a forerunner of
recognition of that government at an
early date.
Mr. Colby late yesterday made public
a letter from Roberto V. Pesqueira,
representative in Washington of the new
government of, Mexico, and in that con
nection stated that it afforded a founda
tion "upon which the preliminaries to
recognition can confidently proceed."
Nothing was said as to whether recog
nition can confidently proceed."
Nothing was said as to whether recogni
tion would proceed the inauguration of
President-elect Obregon next December.
Secretary Colby's announcement came
as a surprise as there had been no inti
mation that the state department was con
sidering early recognition . Earlier iu the
day emphatic denial had been made at
the department when it had been learned
that a report was in circulation in New
York that recognition was a possibility .
In his letter to Secretary Colby, Mr.
Pesqueira declared that there was peace
throughout Mexico that "not a single
rebel" remained in- arms against the
government and that the entire country
thought "in terms of law and order and
reconstruction . ' '
"The iuforinal and frank conversa
tions," which be had had with Ujidcr
Secretary Davis, the confidential agent
added, had "resulted in cordial and
thorough understanding. "
