{By the State Agricultural Depart-
ment, Austin, Texan.)
The coat of producing the 1020 cot-
ton crop has been kept by farmers in
all parts of Texas in cooperation with
the Department of Agriculture of
Texas, on blanks prepared for the pur-
pose.

ter has been gathered from the re-

age acre basis as follows:

er and never sell on a declining mat-
ket; and to watch the market in the
East as closely as the East watched
the supply in the South.
The committee requests that copies
of this report be sent to Commission-

operate with Texas farmers iu secur-
ing the price.

We, the price-recommending com-
mittee appointed by Hon Fred W. Da-
vis. (Commissioner of Agriculture, to
find the cost of producing the 1020
cotton crop, und—lo recommend the
minimum price therefor, having guiH'
over the reports, find them conserva-
tive. and consider the producers en-
titled to at least two cents i>er pound
over cost. as profit, making 4H <t«nts
as the average price the crop should
bring, and which would entitle the
better grades to 50 cents, or more.
Realizing that the farmers may get
the above prices if those who can will
withhold their cotton from market,
we urge every otic who can. not only
in Texas but all over the South, to
cease selling at once, for a less price
and cooperate wUh the Texas fann-
ers In their efforts for justice and fi
nancial freedom.
The committee urges the farmers
to warehouse their cotton, protect 0
from the weather, and not to sell for
less than the above price, to sell slow-
