GINNERS ASKED TO COOPERATE EFFORTS TO BE MADE TO HAVE SOUTH CAROLINA LEAD IN ENROLLMENT.?DRIVES FOR WAREHOUSES. > ' The following letter has been addressed to the ginners of South Carolina by the South Cardlina Division of the American Cotton association: "To maintain a profitable market for the South's principal crop?cotton ?is the most important commercial t problem now requiring: the vcareful study and energetic'efforts of south' ern people. One of the essentials in solving this .problem is to get sufficient warehouse space to satisfy our warehouse needs into the hands of interests that are friendly to the cotton producer. "The U. S. Department of Agriculture estimates the country damage to cotton as causing a loss of 60 million dollars ahnually to the growers. In addition cotton not stored in a warehouse cannot be used as collateral for loans. "There is a great business opportunity now available to ginners in the building of cotton warehouses for the use of their patrons in storing cotton until marketed. Country damage and danger from fire loss starts the minute the bale of cotton is rolled out of the gin house. The logical place for xruany farmers to warehouse cotton is in a warehouse located at the ginnery. ; ? "Such warehouses may be erected of wood framing and galvanized metal to conform to the state warehouse plans at an estimated cost of $2.00 per bale capacity. Blue print plans for these warehouses may be secured free of charge fromi Mr. J. C. Rivers. State Warehouse Commissioner, Columbia, S. C. If these warehouses are entered in the state warehouse system the warehouseman will get a cheaper * zsurance rate than is otherwise possible and the warehouse receipts are easily negotiable. There is no reason why such warehouses should not pay good dividends to the ginners who erect them. "The following 'table shows the average cost of warehousing under the state system: Per bale per month. Interest and depreciation on cost of warehouse 3 l-3c insurance 26 l-4c State warehouse fee 3 i c Total average cost of warehousing 32 7-12c "To this must be added taxes, cost ? of management and profit. Thus it would appear that warehouses at gin3 .could easily furnish warehouse space #at a cost of approximately 40 cents per bale per month. By charging BO cents per bale per month the , owner or owners of the average warehouse . would realize an excellent in' -come on the investment. The State Warehouse Act does not fix the charges for warehousing cotton in the state system, this being left to the wareh ousemnn. "After these warehouses are built the ginners would perform a great service to their patrons by urging them to warehouse their cotton im.mediately after is it ginned, and to market it gradually instead of selling 70 per cent of it during the fall CLE DO NOT DELAY, YOU * * ' . i. .!* , Ife&iS months as they now flo. In addition to this change in our method of handling our cotton crop we must also work out plans for selling cotton direct to spihners. Some direct marketing is alrdady being done and it is an intensely pratlcal thing to do where there is an official cotton grader and a warehouse in friendly hands. "The South Carolina Branch of the American Cotton Association, theStatb Warehouse Commissioner, and the Extension Service representing Clerason Agricultural College and the U. S. Department of Agriculture join in requesting you to fill out the blanks in the enclosed questionnaire and return same to H. C. Booker, 809 Liberty National Bank Building, Columbia, S. C. If It happens that you are located in a section where there is no opportunity for warehousing at the gin please, return the questionnaire anyway, with a statement of the conditions.
