This system of Sellin? has proven it self to be of inestimable value in many lines of farm products, and cotton will be no exception. In fact, Texas and Oklahoma are already tasting the advantages of this man ner of soiling, and the entire South ls either in the campaign or starting i In. In this State over 4 0,000 halos have been signed up, and the cam paign is just beginning to start in several counties. Anderson, Plck ons, Greenville, Greenwood, Abbe-' ville and practically all the other; counties have men chosen to lead the campaign or to assist the county agents in -putting it before tlhe peo ple. J. H. Brown has been chosen as county campaign director for Oconee toy District Director Bramlett! 'Darlington county, formerly >^o of the banner cotton counties of the State, has already signed up 60 per cent of her entire production. Spar tanhurg, Marion and Sumter have each signed np over five thousand balee ?ach, while Dillon county only the other week signed up four thou sand hales. Not a State which has started tfltis campaign for efficient marketing has failed lo succeed In getting the min imum quota. Oklahoma has 400, 000 bales signed, Texas around 700, 000, Mississippi 300,000, Arizona nhout 25,000, and North Carolina 300,000. All of these contrncts are similar to tho South Carolina contract-all designed by Aaron Sapiro, noted at torney for fourteen co-operative as sociations of California. This 8:?Ce Is going niter 400,000 bales, based upon the members' production In 1920; Georgia 400,000, Arkansas 100.000, while FlorHda, 'Aloha nt,, Tennessee and California are plan ting to come into thp^same system. Members of the Texas Association n statements made at a recent cot on meeting in Birmingham, were mthuslastlc over tho selling system .nd urged other States to fall into ine. These members stated that hey were receiving for their cotton brough tho association, on the same rade and staple, from $5 to $15 a ale more than outsiders were get ing. It is readily seen where this could e so when it is known that cotton n the association will be sold on cttial grade and staple vaule, in argo lots of even-running grades, s direct to mill or exporter as pos ible, without the large amount of solemn handling that is now done.
