An article by Robert P. Brooks on the American Cotton Association, a cotton producers' organization founded in New Orleans in May 1919 under president J. Skottowe Wannamaker. It reviews the economic troubles of Southern cotton farmers (one-crop farming, crop liens, poor marketing), then describes the Association's constitution, by-laws, dues and organization. It also covers its warehousing and financing plans, using Spartanburg County, S.C., as an example, and closes with an appraisal of the movement's prospects and criticisms of it.
