Clemson College, July 21.?The grading of cotton is" the first step in he scientific, marketing of this proluct. There are many difficulties to ?vercome in order that the farmer md the community may receive the greatest benefit from the location of t State and Government grader at he cenrtal market of the county. Unfortunately many of the commerial buyers look upon an official coton grader as one who is hostile to heir interest. On some markets; vhere the official grader has been ocated commercial buyers have i hrown everjT obstacle in the way of he grader in performing his ser- ! ices to the farmers. They have re-I used to accept his grades, and they: lave been known to raise his grades ' n order to discredit him with the ar:ners. However, when the eomneicial buyers realize that the oficial grader is there not only for he purpose of assisting the farmers, >ut also for the purpose of assisting .11 who are interester in the cotton narket, and on some of the markets he commercial buyers today buy only otton that has been classed by the fficial grader. The primary object in locating an fficial grader in a market is to proinfoMoct rtf t-Vin farmpr hv in CVV U1C 1UW1 VC? VA ..... ? ^ orming him as to the actual grade if his cotton in order that he may leal with the buyer in an intelligent nanner. At the same time he is renlering assistance to the buyer by reieving him of the actual work of ampling and grading and thus renoving all suspicion from the mind >f the farmer that his cotton has not ?een properly graded. If the grader s competent, no honest buyer can or rill object to such service. The posiion is an exceedingly difficult and lelicate one to fill and it is very necssary that the official grader have he backing of the farmers and busiless men in performing his duties. When cotton has been graded by a State and Federal grader and the rrorlo cYuin the receiDt of a bond d warehouse, a loan on such cotton an easily be secured from the banks. I stated that grading was the first tep in scientific marketing of cotton. The second step is the warehousing f the cotton, and the third step will >e the direct selling of cotton from he bonded warehouse to the raanuacturer. So it can be seen that beore we can ever hope to work out i system of selling direct from the >roducer to the manufacturer, the iroblems of grading and warehousng must be solved. Of course inompetent men may sometimes be ecured, but this is merely an inci lent, and such a situation can be luickly relieved. What is necessary n order to have the grading of coton by State and Federal graders irmly established is for our fanners nd business men to give the cotton ;rader their moral support and c?perate with him in every way. The Extension 5Service in co-operaion with the Bureau of Markets of he United States Department of Agriculture has had several cotton graers located in the State for the past wo years, and has received many stters from farmers as to the high alue they put upon this service, a Young Chickens Wanted Bring us your young chickens.
