The American Cotton Association, as agent for the consumer has undertaken to secure the cotton. Following publication everywhere in the South of the ODportunity and urging consumers to grant firm options on their cotton until Febi-uary 10, telegrams have been pouring nto the association offices from all parts of the cotton belt, chiefly from individual farmers, offering their cotton. The price, of course, is attractive, being above the market quotations. ' There is no other organization in the world except the American Cotton Association that could gather =uch a quantity of cotton . together in so short a time. The whole proposition has the enthusiastic support of tke banks for patriotic reasons and also because it will mean the prompt payment of many loans and puts into( the market money for the financing of the 1920 crop. The negotiation is epochal. Not only is it engineered in its entirety by Southern interests, but it is a concrete demonstration of what a strong organization can do toward the correction of evils which heretofore have seriously crippled the entire cotton industry. It is pointed out :hat the sale proves the ability of the association to handle the vast sales sf spot cotton ,on which account herpaftpv mannfarf.nrprs nhvnnH will find it to their advantage to deal directly with the association, thus cutting out the intervening toll-, gatherers, whose fees will go to thr? producer. Moreover, it establishes firmly the confidence of the farmers in the association, which will thus be trengthened all along the line. Never, since its inception, has cotton been properly marketed. It is the jnly staple product in the world ivhich year after year has been at the mercy of the market, with the making of which it had nothing to io. This sale marks the beginnig of a new era, when the producer, through his own organization, will have a decisive voice in fixing the price at which he can profitably dispose of bis product. That means that ther? will be no more "poverty cotton," but the South will collect from the world a fair profit for its output. It is the beginning of-a new day in the South, which is naturally the richest section in the whole country, but has to struggle along under the severe handicap of having its porifts taken year after year by outsiders. By tflis deal alone the American Cotton Association has justified its existence. But is is oaljr at the /ery beginning of its service to the South. If it continues to be ad / "ninistered as well as it has been, nore than half of the fcotton proiucer's problems have been solved. The event is of national "importance, because the prosperity of the South xpust reflect itself throughout ihe nation.
