An Appeal to Bankers of the State. Columbia, July 10.-An appeal to the bankers of the state to assist the South Carolina division of the Amer ican Cotton Growers' Association in the campaign which it launches on July 15 for the construction of ware houses and the securing of cotton graders in the various counties of the state is. contained in a letter which has been sent to them signed by Gov ernor Cooper, J. Skottowe Wanna maker, president of the American Cotton Association; R. C. Hamer, president of the South Carolina divi sion of the American Cotton Asso ciation; B. Harris, commissioner of agriculture; J. C. Rivers, warehouse commissioner and W. /W. Long, di rector of extension service of Clem son Collegev "To maintain a profitable market for the south's principal crop, cotton, is the most important problem now requiring the careful study and en ergetic efforts of southern people," says the letter. "The main essentials in solving this problem are as fol lows : For Warehouse Space. "First, to secure sufficient ware house space in the hands of farmers or of interests friendly to them, to satisfy our warehouse needs. The U. S. department of agriculture esti mates the country damage to cotton as causing a loss of $60,000,000 an nually to the growers. In addition cotton, not stored in a bonded ware house cannot be used as a collateral for loans. The non-warehousing of the crop in bonded warehouses is one of the causes of "distress cotton," which annually brings an enormous loss also to the south. "Second, the cotton .growers must be urged and assisted to market the crop over a period of 12 months, in stead of dumping 70 per cent of the crop on the market during the fall months as at present. If this be done the large loans now made to cotton mills to carry their cotton purchases for the year would probably split into many small loans to the pro ducers who hold cotton. If cotton were marketed over a long period in stead of a short one many of the speculative features of the cotton business that are frequently so dis astrous to the grower would be re moved. To put the marketing of cot ton states on a sounder basis, in other words, every line of business now being conducted in the south is working for its own best interest in joining hands with those organiza tions now cooperating to bring about the much needed reforms mentioned in this letter. Urge .'your patrons to warehouse their cotton as soon as ginned and to market it gradually. Grading of Cotton. Third, the official grading of cot ton, while it is still in the hands of the producer, and the direct market ing of cotton in quantity from pro ducer to spinner, must be brought about. These things are coming and; it is only fair to the producer to aid him in every way possible to bring them about, especially since these changes would be reflected in greater prosperity of all the people. Grading and direct marketing have already been demonstrated in this state to the great satisfaction of every honest interest. It remains to extend this work until it covers the entire belt. "If you are not already a member you are urged to join the South Car olina branch of the American Cot ton Association and lend your per sonal influence toward helping to put across this work. A blank for for your own use in making application for membership is enclosed. In this connection South Carolina now has on a campaign to secure a larger p?rcentage of bankers as members of the association than any other state. Let us not fail to stan-1 at the head of this list as we have stood in so many other lines." 1785 1920 THE COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON Co-educational Entrance examinations, and examinations for the free coun ty scholarships at all county seats Friday, July 9, at a. m.
