Alfred Scarborough, prominent planter of Eastover, explains a very interesting and forceful nner tho objects and plans of the ! ith Carolina Cotton Grovers Coop-1 tivo Association at a meeting of; ion county farmers. Need of Cooperation, ["hat there is ft great need for eo;ration among the farmers is hardly jucstior.. We have hut to look at ' rest of the organized business rid with its powerful, collective thods of bargaining to realize the :er helplessness of the individual -mer who is trying to cope with ?se organized factors. Production problems we h. ve arid II continue to have until the end of ne, but the one crying need of the ten farmer of today is a better svsn of marketing. Under our prest system of marketing cotton, evf grown is selling his product in mpetition with his fellow farmer, the fanner continues to dump ins aducts in this unbusinesslike, hapzard way he is going to continue suffer. Just so long as tho cotton rmers of this state are forced to pay retail price for all of the elements lit h go into the making of a crop d then forced to sell his products a wholesale price set by the buyer, <t that long he is going to suffer. We have hut to l?>ok at the farmers Florida, California, Texas and othsiates who are practicing cooperae marketing to realize the value of is business method of selling. When tton slumped from 40 cents to 12 nts per pound, what did you pay r oranges, apples, prunes and rails? You paid practically the same ice as you had been paying. Why ? cause the growers of these products d a marketing organization which maonc nf avnnrf finonninir airli? arketing and expert. salesmanship, Id these prices at a level which was ir )n the grower. Incidentally coevativo selling has reduced the farm i-r'gnges in California from 00 per nt to less than 10 per cent. What the growers of these ovher utes are doing with other farm prodts we can do with cotton. In fact Oklahoma, Mississippi and \ri na are selling cotton now through eir cooperative marketng assoeio >r.s. Arkansas and North Carolina ive already perfected organization' .- elI their 11122 crop, while South] irolina and the other Southerr ales are working to perfect an orinization to handle this year's crop. ]>o the; farmers of South Carolim ?! an organization cf this kind? Yes cause it co.-t the farmers of this ate twenty millions of dollars or 1 E0 per bale to market their cot n in 1920. While Texas growers arr monstrating their ability every da: sell their cotton through a c >op ative marketing agency at a cost or as than $2.00 per hale. In add tioi ey are realizing, as we may exno'realize, $10.00 per bale more lr lling in this business-like way. Kind of Organization. The proposed South Carolina Cot tor-1 rowers Cooperative Association i entical in plan to the successful ?*ot n organizations of other states. This plan embodies several essentia" atures, one of which is organize.tior ' commodity on a state-wide b is:s ,'ery farm crop or kndred crop: ould have a marketing agency, a e problems involved in the market cr of these various farm crops di'Ter lis association of South Carolina cotn growers will sell lint cotton only, h- n three <,p move states have per "ted similar organizations they wil* :ierate an.] ii n,i r. central sellinf ency. i-Mperative Non-Stork, Non-Profit Association. The most successful type of farm ' organization is the non-stock, non ofit type, using the crop eontrac (. as basis of operation. This typ..? i? sirahle for several reasons, chief of lich is that it keeps out any sp -cuive, selfish interest -, and it is easy finance. The South Carolina Cotj Growers Association will sell all ton and pay n^t proceeds to grnwThe association membership will be nposed -if cotton growers and landda who receive cotton as rent. The ; - : iimtiin ui Ul* HMiflCUlUOn Will handled by a hoard of 11 farmer ectors. 10 of which will be elected h year by the farmer members, the h to he appointed by the governor the state. These directors will hire best colo n specialists obtainable grade and sell the cotton. Thit ns iation will not function unless 400,bales arc pledged using 1020 crop a bns's, unless it be by special eon t of growers who want to market h a 200,000 baleage, 'his is not a holding organization her Is it a hold-up organizaton i its one specific purpose is to sell cotton of its members to the best sible advantage, ami by means of per financing, orderly marketing ( expert salesmanship it expects to are a fair and just return for the ' mer. Cotton Will Be Pooled. u . .. . - 1 nt* axyiciaucn uirouRn ;ts expert j dors nvil 1 RTade, staple and weitfh i hale as it is delivered. There all ' on of a similar Krftde and class is into one lot. Each pool continues one season. If all of the pool is 1 sold at once, some may l>e sold , >ne time and some at another, all he best possible price. At the end ho season or as soon as the pool \ losed out, the prices are averaged every m?cn will f?et the same price the same quality of product. There | othinp: fairer. i ' the grower needs money when he delivers the cotton he can secure aj substantial percentage as an advance, P payment. Then ns sales are made from c< lime to time additional payments are It made to growers until pool is closed out. The associations in the West have demonstrated very clearly their J c' ability to finance the growers, the h Teras association having n line of credit of over fifteen millions of dol- m lars which they forrowed at 6 per cent and loaned this money to grow- I crs at the same rate. Sj Legally Binding Contract. fl Every grower agrees to deliver to X and s^ll through the association ail of the cotton which comes into his possession as a grower, or as rent, for the next five years. The cotton shall he delivered as soon ns possible after picking and ginning to the order of the association. The grower does not have to deliver any specified numbei i f bales, ho can quit growing cotton ai any time he wishes, he does not have to deliver cotton covered by mortgage at time he signs contract, but he delivers all which comesinto his legal possession. This contract is made legally binding for several reasons, no ban'<, manufacturer or any other business organization will entertain a business proposition with a loosely bound bunch of farmers, and it is necessary to protect the honest member against the weaker. A forfeit of five cents a pound shall be made by any member breaking the contract. This com rai t is fair, legal and just. I Expert Salesman. The association will hire the best cotton specialists obtainable to sell the cotton. These salesmen will be in touch with all of the markets of the world and will sell to the best advantage. They will sell on the association's grade and staple, will sell cotton in large even running lots, each grade, class and staple within its own pool, will sell collectively and only when the market demands it, and sales will h-i nuiflo ns HivAetlv ftc nnaotliln t,-> the manufacturers. In this way and only in this way which have been going to the lone: line the grower will receive the profits which have ben going to the long line of middlemen. Movement Growing Every Day. This is the farmers' job, and he has got to do it if it is done. The banks, merchants and every other kind of business are urging us to put this over, for they realize that their prosperity depends on the farmers' prosperity. The movement in this state is young but it is growing rapidly, more than 76,000 bales having already b^en signed. n closing Mr. Scarborough urged Union County farmers to get behind the movement and help the local organizer to make it a big success. if You Have Money to Give Away, Now i3 The Time I Muncie, Ind., March 8.?If you j have money to give away there is no i 'ime like the present, is the philoso phy of Frank C.

The four living brothers and the estate of the ( titer brother have just given $1,>00,000 for educational and welfare work. They operate an immense 'ruit. jar manufacturing plant here. "We are giving this $1,000,000 beau e we believe it better to do such hings while we are living than to allow others to do it for us after we ire dead." explained Frank C. Bad, who is president of the manufactur ing plant. "Life at best is short and uncertain nr.d the time for men who have it. to do good with their nionev is when they can personally direct the use of it.
