COOPERATIVE MARKETING V
ORDER OF THE DAY
Columbia, jilarch 6.?Farmers of
South Carolina are solus to sell their
1922 crop of cotton cooperatively.
The" tremendous enthusiasm with
which the campaign for signatures to
the contract is being pushed in almost
every county in the state indicates
that the 400,000 bales which
must be sigped by May 1, 1922 to
make the contract operative will be
cnsily forthcoming. In omy a very (
few.of the iQuulies has there been any
dela? in the campaign and these counties
are expected to be in line, within '
the next ten days. ' .. " ; j
The contracts are being signed by I
large and small farmers alike. The
I
largest contract received at the of- j
flees of the South Carolina Cotton I
Growers* Cooperative Association here
to date is for 3,000 bales. The smallest
is for one bale. Incidentally it
might be said that seyeral of the latter J
have been received. Those who are
pushing the campaign say that the
benefits derived by the large and the
small farmer will be the same in proportion
.
The bankers and business interests
of the state are lining up strongly behind
the movement. They take the

hope for future prosperity for the i
farmer and it has been pretty th'or-!
oughly demonstrated in the past; two
years th^t the prosperity of the states
is dependent upon. the "prosperity of
the farmers. Many of the largest
and ablest bankers hi the. stnttj have
studied the plan from evry angfo and
have Investigated' the.-korkings of the
associations already functioning in
other states/ They express complete
satisfaction with the plan in its every
detail and are working to put the
<
movement across.
In Sumter county the bankers have
gone out in the county making
speeches in behalf of the campaign.
C. O. Rowland, president of the
National Bank .of Sumter, thinks that
every bank in the state should get
busy and assist in every way to put it
across. J . Po^>e Matthews, president
of the Palmetto National Bank of Columbia,
says that he thinks the organization
of the association "is one
of the best business propositions the
farmers of the state oould undertake
at this time" and adds 'I do not know
of anything that would " be more productive
of good results*" Mr. Matthews
has studied the pin from every
pngle. Bright Williamson, of Darlington,
is another banker who is

knows as much about ?operative
marketing as any man in 8outh Caro- t

farmers* hope. " .
The movemd&t has been endorsed t
by the executive council anu the agri- <
cultural .committee of the South Caro- <
Una Bankers* Association and four ]
pf the seven. districtCJgroups. It has ]
been strongly endor^j^ twice by the. ]

In a statement given ?out by the association,
it says:
"Farmers everywhere are organizing
to conduct their .marketing business
in a systematic manner on the
same plan as is being followed by the
South Carolina Cotton Growers' Cooperative
Association.
"At the present 'time more than
sixty associations of growors in twenty
states have been folmtdk or arc now
being organized. The number of
members in these assocaitions exceeds
'400,000 farmers ancf" the volume of
business done by them in 1921 lacked (
only a little of being half a billion
dollars. ,
"Through the cooperative pooling
movement farmers in every section of
the country are taking their rightful
| place in the business world.
j "The South Carolina cotton pool
I plan enables the farmer to go all the
way to the marekt with his product,
and iin this trip save a vast sum that
heretofore has been lost to him
through sneculativeTprofits -and unnecessary
handling ,cost. . '
i "That the South Carolina cotton
pool plan is sound and workable is
being proved in a conclusive manner
by everyone of tljese cooperative associations,
which has begun to handle
the crop. There are three outstanding
features of everyone of these organizations.
I "first: long-time, jegaiiy-Mnd
contract. .This maker the members

that it will have <K)tton to sell over a j

"Second: The one hundred per cent
tompulsory-'pool. In the pool all
he product is handled for sale in
!
;ven running lots according to quality
md variety. All growers delivering
:he same grade and the same kind ol
:otton receive exactly the same price.
Every member receives the average
price -at which the product of that
kind antl quality is sold. This makes
possible orderly marketing throughout
the year in accordance with market
demands. t ?
"Third: The non-profit, lion-stocjj I
feature and the exclusive grower
membership. This insures a com- ^
plete harmony of interest, absolute
fairness and equality in the handling
of the business of euc,h member, and n
it is a guarantee against outside interests
over gaining control of the organization
and exploiting it for their
own gain.
"That the ?outh Carolina cotton
pool plan sound from a financial
standpoint is clearly proved by the
fact that the hanks are doing business
with these 'associations wherever
they sire in operation. Hanks of Oklahoma
extended the state cotton .association
si credit of upwards ol two
million dollars last year. Hanks, of
Texas were also ready to loan their
association several million dollars.
The War Finance Corporation extended
si loan of $2G,000,000 to three.-j'Otton
associations." <
