In Texas and Oklahoma the cotton contracts, which are prac tically identical with the contract i signed by members of the South Carolina Association, were upheld by the : courts and permanent injunctions granted restraining members of those associations from disposing of \ their cotton except through the Asi sociation. Temporary injuctions had , been secured against six members in Texas and against several in Okla homa some time back. i In North Carolina a desperate efi fort was made by enemies of the Trii State Tobacco Association to have ! dissolved an injunction, which had I been issued against two members of ; the Association. Several of the ablest lawyers in the State were em.i ployed in the effort to have the con; tract declared unconstitutional, but t the court in its decision made the in junction permanent, declaring the contract sound. ; The Raleigh News and Observer in [ expressing gratification editorially at the outcome of the case in North i Carolina, said: "If co-operative marketing succeeds the day of glutting the market and depressing the price has gone. If it fails, what then? In that case the farmers must revert to the old position where they get whatever is offered them. They will have no voice in that. One year they will get twenty cents a pound for their cotton, and the next year six, and usually they will be the victims of wild fluctuations."
