' V/tin/mia V/Vbtuii vjivwcio wvi/cx?. | tive Association has prepared the| fallowing summary of its cotton contract: . \ The association is strictly co-oper?- ative. Only cotton farmers can join, and the association belongs to them. There is no stock and there are no profits. Proceeds are paid to the farmers after deducting all expenses of the association. All farmers are treated exactly alike?no partiality?all sign the same contract. ' Good grades bring a good price? poor grades not so good. The association is not trying to fix the price, but to get it for the 1 farmer. The farmer agrees to deliver for live years an or wie couon ne grows, \ ibut he may from time /to time grow more, less, or none,\ as he himself chooses. The contract is binding?there is! no way to dodge it when once effective?do not forget that; but it does, not become effective until the grow- J ers <# 400,000 bales of cotton sign j up. The association will pool all cot-1 ; ton and sell from time to time in j large lots. Each grower will get his share of the proceeds for the year | , regardless of the price his particular cotton may bring. The plan includes r many of the principles upon which the industrial development of the country has flourished, and every i principle has been tried out and , proven sound in American agricul- j , ture as well. | Organization?The association expects to include as maty of the cot-' ton farmers in South Carolina as possible. The state will be divided into ten districts. The board of di rectors will consist of one director 1 from each district, each director se lected by the growers in his district, and one appointed by the governor ; to represent the general public? eleven directors in all?who control : the association. Each farmer mem, ber has one vote?no more.
