Cotton farmers will do well to hoed l . . . . . . . . _ the warning- of the American Cotton Association and prepare to fight for a living price for cotton by arranging storage warehouses at Conway, Aynor and Loris, under the supervision of the State Cotton Association. Mr. W. 0. Davis, farm demonstration agent will tell you how tins can be done. Many substantial farmers and business men of the county paid us a visit last week and congratulated us on the part we are playing in trying to give the Horry trade the right merchandise at living prices. Take good care of every lock of cotton. Keep picking well up, gin the cotton as soon as dry enaugii and if the price is not right store in a good, sate place, don't leave it around the ginneries to lose in weight and quality. Sweet potatoes are coming in and bring a fair price on the market. This crop should bo made of value to our County if our farmers would plan heu>es or proper curing, storing and shipping. FOl/R CO1 TON COMMAND VENTS By B. Harris, Commissioner of Agricultu re. Four commandments will have to be kept by the farmers before they will be able to put the p:ic> on their own cotton, which is t 'eir ?1-4. .i? . ii.Uiu tu uu : 1. Diversity . 2. Organize and Cooperate. 3. Build Wa-chouses. 4. Have a Fund. The farmers must diversify their crop5* to fhd-.rxt^nt t" "a nv* must be self-nustainirg. Whrn they <lo this, the cotton crop is half f nancr.d. They must organize and co-operate not alonP with other farmers, but with the merchants and bankers and business men. Get them to join the American Cotton Association. Why? Because the cotton crop i< th* money crop, the backbone of all finance, all prosperity, all business, all progress, all improvement, all e<'ucati ri of the South, and always will be. It is ud to every man, no matter w' at his business, to get behind the cotton crop an-1, make it sell for a profit to thp grower over the cust {f production. If this is done, and when it shall he done, the South wi'l bo the richest country in th? world for it is the most res mrccful. Firal success can be attained onlv bv 1ha t* Mil complete organi' ation 01 ui in ; prople of the South. Now, as to warehouses. These should be throughout the South in number sufficient to take up the slack in the crop. Then receipt can be issued that should be regarded as negotiable scrip in any country. No better collateral can be had. I cannot say much about any of these points without repeating much that has already been said but it is a lesson which bears repeating, and the people should learn it perfectly. The fourth commandment which I wish to urge upon the people is to organize a cotton fund to let out loans upon cotton; this fund rot to b^ a general banking proposition, but to protect cotton. For when a bale is put into a warehouse it must stay there until the spinner will pay the price set for it by the American Cotton Association. If the farmers will adhere strictly to th^se four commandments they will prove to be the only means by which the fattners can "cinch" their prosperity atfer freeing themselves and furture generations from povertv and illiteracy. If the farmers will observe strictly these four general principles and put business methods behind their agriculture, they will never again see short staple cotton, middling and above sell or less than fiftv cents per pound. Wli n n tknen four thincrs are done ' T ?l^?l v? ?V? n tho South will como into her own and will in ton years bo one of the richest countries in the world . I am greatly in earnest about the orprani) zation of g cotton bank. Tho American Cotton Association ennnot round out it* usefulness without doin^ this. Such a bank could hMp - T v I*10 'oca' banks to^yjaflce ^istvc s I ? #otton, for that is tfio^cjttdrt'/ iffliif t| ' ' < v v.' tyty&v8 controls the ItffejL It J if flpf j i ' > factor in A| { * % must have it on #itst side tatf^pi. Such a cotton bank could make it pos sible to protect a farmer from having his loan called, and nayment forced, so as to turn this cotton ovor to the bear sorculator whenever he wants it.
