E I agent was expected to call together me iaruiers in ws county anu juan a program that would meet the peculiar needs of that county and that this was the object for which the meeting was called. He named on the committee to draft the program, one from each section of the county as follows: D. S. Matheson, H. M. Duvall, C. H. Rivers, J. F. Crowley, H. Miller, L. L. Parker and W. L. McCoy Mr. R. C. Hamer, of Eastover, President of the S. C. Branch of the American Cotton Association, was present ??????m \ ' I ! LISt CO. Agt., ? 'l GO] Casing purchased fc )e s, Touring / ? on which we are g > * i N< )on't forget our reps Gei Cheraw < / to present the cooperative marketini plan of selling cotton to the farmers of Chesterfield County. i Mr. Hamer said the Cotton Association found that it was costing the Southern farmer two hundred and fifty million dollars each year to market its crop because their system of marketing was wrong. After studying all systems of marketing the Association decided that the coonerative Dlan was the most successful in marketing other produce so they appointed a committee of men like Clarence Poe of the "Progressive Farmer, J. S. Wannamaker, Mr. Olon of Lugoff and others to work up the plan they were now presenting to the farmers for their acceptance. . He said that it must be a good plan as two hundred thousand farmers had signed the contract to sell one and one half million bales already and they had hardly begun. That North Carolina signed three hundred thousand bales when only two hundred thousand was asked and South Carolina with only two counties worked had signed forty thousand bales. He told the meeting that the biggest work was to educate the farmers as to what the contract was. He said the Association was not making a fight on the legitimate cotton buyer but that the Association would sell cotton to these men and to the mills. He explained that the cotton buyir was necessary. He said the General Assembly at the last meeting had passed a special bill authorizing the organization of this Association. He laid stress on the fact that four hundred thousand bales must be signed up by the Association before any contract was binding. He then told the meeting that this Association would Bell only the one commodity, Cotton, and would hare as members only growers of eotton or those who owned farms and re celved cotton as rent. He said the Federal Reserve Bank appreciated the plan to such an extent that they were loaning the Association large sums to market the crop. He urged Bank, er and Merchant to study the plan and adviBe farmers to sign the contract In speaking of the contract Mr. Hamer said all signers agree to market all of their cotton through the Association for a period of five years and that a heavy penalty was prescribed for failure to live up to the contract. He said the reason for the five year contract was that It was impossible to get good men to serve the Association for a short period of time and that the mills who would buy from the Association would want /. % if 'A'WA'Wti'WA'Wa'Wl'Wa* *s LDF >r cash we are giving c We have on hand Cars, Roadster 0 [iving terms of 6, 8, II / I ow is your time to bu] lir department and rer auine Ford Pai Motor Cheraw, S.

Signers must pay |5.00 dues for the 5 year o membership and the only way to quit t during that time was either to die, t leave the State or quit growing cot- ^ ton. t He explained that the members sold n their own cotton by electing eleven : directors from eleven districts in 1 . the State who would direct the work, i ings of the organization with one f other director appointed by the gov. i ernor of the state. He said the present organization . was only temporary and would cease ' to exist as soon as the permanent organisation was perfected when four hundred thousand bales were signed Officers Would then be elected by the members. Mr. Hamer said it would be neces. J sary to employ high class graders and sellers as it woudl not pay to have cheap men. He then spoke of the wonderful work of Mr. J. C. Rivers, of this county, with the State Warehouse System. He said this system had saved farmers thousands of dollars. Mr. Hamer said Associations in some of the other states advanced 60 per cent as soon a* the cotton was delivered and the balance when sold during a 12 months period. Statistics show that only about 50 per cent of our cotton is sold the day it is ginned so that the 60 per cent advance would put more money in circulation 4 than in present day. He said the mortgage and lein 0 clauses were very clear in contract # and holders were fully protected. w He said the Association would open * a campaign for members In 20 coun- t: ties on Monday and he begged this 1 meeting to take some action. ~ After answering many questions b Mr. Hamer put the motion to have 4 Mr. R. B. L&ney and Mr. W. J.
