On Terms of Equality “The producer who sells cotton.” said Mr. Wannamaker, “should be placed on terms of equality in every respect with the buyer who purchases it. This includes more' than at first sight might appear. Among other things, the producer should have equal information with the buyer, the law affecting the buying, and selling of cotton should be poised in equal jus- lice between the producer and the buyer. Commercial machinery which in any way affects the marketing of cotton should be regulated as to give the buyer and seller an equal chance. J* The producer should have the benefit of organization to the same extent & as the buyer. Investigation by the 1 Department of Agriculture in primary j j cotton markets has shown some very 4*> interesting results. Thousands of sain- ^ pics have been classified and informa- J tion obtained from farmers as to the V prices which they have received for their cotton. The prices paid on the i same market on the same grade of ♦ cotton on the same day varied from 4*4 $2 to $15 a bale and cotton of one ^ end an eighth length .,f staple has sot I it for considerable less ♦ban cotttfn of V three-quarter length of staple. Tins «*► means that the farmer ha-' not been Jk getting the value of his cotton It is ♦ clear that the individual farmer am 1 not solve the trouble alone; through ^ the American Cotton association he can form co-operative marketing os- ,y sociations, employ high class techni- cal men who can .lass and s’uyl-j h's cotton and secure the best market for the same.’* Have vou heart] our or * orchestra since we have enlarged it?
