REDUCE ACREAGE ADVICE OF BARUCH *NEW YORK FINANCIER HOLDS CONFERENCE WITH COOPER \ ________ No Relief Until Trade Routes and Channels of Commerce Are Again Opened <Ts. News & Courier /"'tli-.w.vio Ton 9Q ?Whilp nr> his vuiumt/ia) w uii. MV. .. ..?v way to his winter home in New Ycrk Bernard M. Baruch of New York and South Carolina, stopped over in Sumter and Columbia today for conferences with Governor Cooper and other South Carolinians on the cotton ' situation. Following the conference, Mr. Baruch, who left tc night for New York gave out a statement in which he predicted that little relief from the oresent deflated price of cotton could l>e expected until the regular trade routes and -the channels of commerce are re-openfed. ? i That the planting of acreage of cotton at the present price, which is below the price of production, is a E foolish undertaking, Mr. Baruch conrtended, and he strongly advised the farmers to curtail their cotton acre age. Mr. Baruch is a native of Camden and he has a deep interest in the agricultural future of South Carolina and his friends say that it is his ambition to do something to aid the farp men. ''Unless the former trade routes and ] channels, of commerce are immediate1? ?" fo i A/Tr> T-11 "t.hpTe ?JT UpcilcU) oaiu wvu, is a compelling necessity upon the farmer to reduce the acreage of cotton. This is all premised upon the I fact that it cannot be produced at the present cost. Of course it is difficult to reduce acreage but that seems so clearly in the interest of the produc. er ifi the present circumstances. ; Wanty to Help 1 I "I am in.sympathy \vith and want I to do everything within my power to f help the American cotton association W to meet a very critical condition that , "now faces the farmer particularly and ali lines of trade as well. * ^here is no question but what the cottdh crop of America brought from 20 to 50 per cent less than it should have during many years to the cotton * - - Alt grower. It Is going to 06 so uuui something is done along constructive lines. v Id "We are not going to accomplish anything in the marketing of our products until we reopen the old trade , routes. This will not be done until the GerWn reparation is fixed, and , we get all. of those millions of peo' ule back to work. The Germans will i" "V >' not resume the purchasing on their I. . former scale until they know what bill will be determined against them. :* "The farmer now finds himself in the predicament of having a crop ? . partly cut off from its usual market the. former trades route limit and unable to finance himself unless he is TfrOling to sell the product at a very great sacrifice, in many instances well below the cost of production. This cannot be permanently remedied un* - less the trade routes of the world are ' - reopened/' *W. J. Cormack. ELECT ATKINSOON SPEAKER OF HOUSE Rllll* , (Continued From Page 1.) Appointment of two additional niemm bers of the board of county conimis-N I si oners. j ' - The bill was up for a third reading, and Representative Alexander wanted j +hp Kill recommitted, holding that the J board of county commissioners was already sufficiently large. Representative Johnson wanted the measure enacted into law. and the two representatives of Kershaw stated their cases to the house. After some debate the motion to recommit the bill was passed, which means that in all likelihood the measure is killed. IJocal and uncontested measures were then taken up, after which the election of oificers was entered into. MARKETING EXPERT ADDRESSES SOLONS} . (Continued From Page 1.) 1 i every man makes a price. He pro-j duces and others say what his product j is worth?except in California, and! there the farmer says what he will j take for his crop. As an individual j the farmer has to take the price of-! fered. Collectively, the farmer makes; j his price." j Mr. Sapiro then told of marketing;! experts hired, one at a salary of j .. . ? | i $25,000 who look after the selling oiij the crop, do not dump at one time all ; the product on the market and relieve the grower of all worry incident to its handling. When surplus crops are predicted. by good advertising the demand is i 1 1 increased and the surplus aosoroea rithout the producer suffering from aking a large crop. He said the consumption of prunes had been in- [ st creased from 47,000,000 pounds to!h< 112,000,000 pounds in three years. I te j Mr. Sapiro also told of the coop- j eration secured from bankers and j ti< merchants in forming organizations, j ci and told in detail how the wheat| oi growers' association of the state of p* Washington operated. sa "Cooperative marketing associa- as tions will not perform miracles. They w will not make the blind to see. But i m they will improve conditions and put J id the grower in position to protect him- h< self." P( Talks of Cotjton 111 Ai Before concluding his address, Mr. j " Sapiro told of the progress being j made to organize the cotton states, j ^ Texas, he said, was about to sign up! ; 1,000,000; Oklahoma is planning to sign up o00,000 bales: Mississippi is also signing up a large number of bales; North Carolina and Georgia are getting in line, he said, and South Carolina is merely waiting for the legislature to pass certain bills before following in their footsteps. "If you can organize one state, you cc will get 5 per cent of the desired; ki gain in seven years; if you have eight te states organizing for cotton market- bi I* vpnrs vou will have 50!S lllSt 111 "J>" J ? ,, per cent of your cotton problem bi solved."

"California erely discovered the cooperative ea?that has made the difference," i said. "The producer once got S jr cent of the consumer's dollar; J | ider cooperative marketing he gets ) per cent of it.'' ^ Mr. Sapiro was thanked for his able 1 ldress. He was escorted to the chair j Representatives Atkinson, Willi- ^ n3 and Leonard and was introduced i the house by J. B. Atkinson, speak-1 j pro tem.
