^ LETTER FROM MR. JENKINS. ' J Farmers Shoald Support Cotton Grow- J ers 'Co-operative Association. 1 Columbia, Feb. 28.?"If the farmers < of South Carolina do not enthusias- 1 mm tically support the movement now on foot to organize and put in successful operation the South Carolina Cot I ton Groovers' Co-operative Aassociation, the)' need start another farmers' ( movement because it will be a fail- } ure," say.* J. H. B. Jenkins, vice-pres- i ident of the Peoples Bank and Trust 1 Co., of York in a letter to \V. B. 1 Wilkerson, a York county farmer, a c W copy of thi letter having been made 1 I public by lie officers of the co-oper- 1 D ative association in this city. B \f i? T or 'rin c' IaHov ii'o o i n vonl X* tA v jJXk ? UO lit ivpi; wv j one from Mr. Wilkerson asking the i jPFv* attitude of the bank towards the b ^ movement. M?. Wilkerson had writ- b ten Mr.j Jenkins that the banks in e many covnties of the state were ii strongly backing the movement and v asked if Mr. Jenkins' bank would fav- o or it t "In our opinion the proposed co- v operative marketing movement," con- e tinued Mr. Jenkins, "is the only move- v. ment that has ever been started by E tbe farmers that has ever had 'teeth' v t > it A co-operative association with a v the proper enthusiastic support, un- 1c dpi tier honest and capable management, f< oiganized in South Carolina and in e the other cotton states will do more d to bring about and regulate orderly k marketing of cotton at a ialr profit c< than anything else that can be done, g Therefore the Peoples Bank and Trust hi Company strongly recommends the organization of properly managed co- fi operative marketing associations, and s< we unhesitatingly oger our facili- ai ties to this end. hi "We have quite a number of farm- b: ers among our stockholders; we num- ai ber hundreds of farmers as patrons and we are and will be just as will- b; ing, if not more so, to assist financial- ti association as those who are not. The e: association as those who axe ot. The hi fact that the government through the fc great war finance corporation and the large financial institutions in the lo money centers have endorsed co-oper- al L ' ative marketing associations and have si expressed a willingness to extend and al L are already extending financial as sistance in large amounts is in itself ir t N evidence of t*e soundness of the prop- . ?:? T4. a nroat nttv That the n: I UMWUIL AV .o ? r-.j r_, ^ farmers of South Carolina have not di lcng before organized such an asso- n I ' elation. They would now be enjoying a] Ml the great benefits that are being en- tl RV joyed through associations already f; B>v organized in Texas, Oklahoma and S ir,- Mississippi. cl "The fanner who does not join in this movement is not only standing in his own light but is retarding the Wj. future development of the South." i* t ???? c DONT INCREASE COTTON CROP. h A Seduction of Last Year's Acreage a is Recommended. tj Columbia, Feb. 28.?Convinced they f, say, that any increase in cotton acre- p age this yerr would be absolutely ruinous to tire state, officials of the SJ South Carolii-a Division of the Amer- js ican Cotton Association have issued a statement setting forth the facts a in the situation as. they see them, e and urging every interest in South ; < Carolina to unite in an effort to hold jy acreage down at least to that of 1921. R A further reduction would be strongV ly advisable the association says. a Four major reasons are given by the association why the acreage should ^ not be increased and it says there ^ are numerous minor reasons, the four V. principal ones are: a "First. An. increase in cotton acre- -T * age would cheapen all collateral held g fcy Southern banks. g I s "Second. Under boll weevil conditions an increase in acreagemeans an q increase in possible disaster by the ^ . Qjk ^fcoll weevil. * "Third. Ar increase in cotton acreage means a decrease in food and feed crops. I jet's make the Southern farm self sustaining before we again undertake to raise a surplus 01 cotton. "Fourth. After bearing the brunt ot deflation neither our bankers, mer- ^ chants nor farmers are in a position io finance a large crop. "Under existing conditions we ought not to run the risk of a crop failure and thus embarrass banks, merchants s and farmers. Plant only such crop as can be financed with comparative , ,i-' ease." * .The association in its statement takes the view that while "a large acreage this year would not by any ^ Hta* means insure a larc^e crop, it would certainly very greatly depress, the ^^H p)ice will be ruinous, if we overplant and the boll weevil repeats her 1921 performance, ruin is certain, either HI way you look at it our only salvation _ is in a very small acreage." " ' 1- 1 The association says tnat it ieeis Wf it to be it's doty to sound this note " P< . of warning to the fanners of the ( state and it reminds them that "it y i3 better to be safe than sorry." Dr. J. B. Johnson of Rock Hill. \ ^apresident; Louis I. Guion of Lugoff * ^ vice-president and manager of the as- i ? t sociation, said that they had receivec letters from bankers, merchants anc farmers in every section of the state urging that every step be taken tc prevent an increased acreage with the disaster that it would almost certainly bring. o PERCY D. SNOWDEN. Percy D. Snowden after an illness >f five long years, being confined to lis bed for the last seven or eight nonths, on January 27th, 1922, quitey passed away. When it became cnown that Mr. Snowden was dead, me who knew him, remarkel, "Well le is rejoicing in the presence of his Redeemer at this moment." Mr. Snowden lacked but little of caching men's allotted age, and died n his 66th year.

When-, ver help was needed, he was always ready to do more than his part. leing one of the elder members or a ery large family connection, he has [ways been looked to as a counsd>r, and his influence has always been, )r good. Those who knew him from arly life, knew him as one whose isposition was peaceable, gentle and, ind. He was also a friend to the' )lored man and frequently gave them ood advice; having known many of is Father's Ante-Bellum slaves. * *" Not his family only, but a host of -iends, his church at her regular ?rvices, and her communion services/ ad all who knew him well will miss im.
