Around 40 McCormick county farmers and business men attend ed the meeting held in the interest of the South Carolina Co-operative Cotton Marketing Association at the court house on last Tuesday, September <28? afld heard Mr. D. W. Watkins, Assistant Director of Ex tension outline the set-up and plans of operation of the present Association as operated under the supervision of the Federal Farm Board. “Much water has gone over the wheel since we first started talk ing co-operative marketing nim years ago,” Mr. Watkins said, “anc today, the co-operatives are start ing with a clean sheet, taking al mistakes for experience, and with the assistance of the Federal Farm Board, should be in a position tc help the cotton farmer if he car be helped.” The Association, with the assist ance of the Federal Farm Board is advancing 90 per cent of the value of the cotton to the farmer at the present time. On this basis middling 7-8 cotton will bring a cash advance of 9 cents on the present market, and longer staple will bring in addition to this, 90 per cent of the premium for staple. The Federal Farm Board is not promising a big price for cotton as a result of the co-operatives and their new set-up, but, it does prom ise a business-like and orderly marketing of cotton on grade and staple, and for the best interest of the farmer members. No campaign for membership is being put on in th% state, and'the purpose of this meeting was simply to acquaint the people with the sit uation as it now stands. IXt CLEMSON COLLEGE. Sept. 23.- In general the price of farm lands follow, though with a lag, agri cultural prosperity which mean 3 in most sections of South Carolina to a large degree the returns from cotton, says O. M. Clark, farm management specialist. The prtco of agricultural lands in South Carolina is now about 45 per cent of what it was in 1920. In dollars it is about the prewar price. Rela tive to the general price level it is about 78 per cent of the prewar figure. It is not expected that the pre sent low price of cotton will con tinue indefinitely and when the agricultural conditions improve land price will rise, especially on productive lands and those capable of being worked efficiently. Lands which will permit an efficient use of machinery will be at a premium in the future to a greater degree than in the past. For the person who wants a farm to operate himself, who has the means to pay a safe proportion of the purchase price and to buy a farm large enough fqr economic operation, 1 the present seems to be an opportune time to buy a good farm—there is never a good time to buy a poor farm. Likewise, a person who has a good farm will quite likely find it to his advant age to keep it nothwithstanding Chickens suffer from ten diseases for which no adequate drug treat- the discouraging outlook at the ment is known. j present time, Mr. Clark concludes.
