The other great sub joe I Co-opera tive Marketing of Cotton, is also of much importance, and the movement ls growing strongly in fqvor as ihe principles of operation are under stood. Tho need of a better selling sys tem is rondlly seen by any who uu . dorstand present deplorable methods, where, on the one band, Iber?* is knowledge of the product, and on the other hand there is absolutely no knowledge of the product to be sold. On the one side there is light; on . tho othor total darkness or ignor ance. How can auch a system ever got true values for farmers? {\ . Nor can one doubt the inefficiency of the present system of selling when a bale of cotton is now handled n number of times between Ihe grower 1 and manufacturer instead of being V handled direct to the mill or exporter ip largo quantities and with practi oMly no competition between tin growers. Members of tho Texas and Okla homa Co-Operative Selling Agency j stato that farmer members are now handling their cotton at a total esti mated cost of from $1 to $2 a bale, whereas the present system costs an s average of from $10 to $l? a halo to feet tho bale from producer to mill or exporter. .

JY FOR CASH. -????????????????????????O' All that ls asked of the fanner is that he study the proposed system and contrast lt with the present in elllcient system, and the answer will be readily seen. There aro many questions that can be asked about co-operative market ing, and there'i's an answer to them all. In case information is sought on the subject, tho most reliable to be obtained will be given by the county agent. Any scareMiead-stories should be traced down to their source..! .buybrs or any one. Under the pres ent system the cotton buyer is indis pensable and performs a service that must be performed by some ono. that of offering a ready market for the farmer. 'Tills campaign proposes to set up a far more efficient SYS T10M of selling than the present sys tem, and if in so doing it stops on the toes of any ono, it is unfortunate, but it must be borne in mind that it is in tho interest of the many thai it is being done. "Orchard Week" Begins.

(?eorge P. Hoffmann, Extension Horticulturist, of Clemson College, will bo on hand for the meetings tho first week. Mr. Hoffmann has had considerable experience with the orchards of this State and adjoining States, so that his discussions and field demonstrations should be of great value to all interested. The meetings nt S. J. Isbell's and D. E. Good's orchards on Thursday, .lan. 5th, should be well attended. Mr. 1 sb ell has a large orchard re cently set out, while Mr. Qood has tho best kept orchard in this part of tho country, and his apples have carried off the first prizes at the State Pair for st number of years.
