The 'Tluy a Bale" plan Is supposed to be a cash transaction. A farmer who Is In urgent need of $50 to har? vest his crop sells one bale of cotton for ten cents a pound?less than its real value, but for which there is no market. The various modltlcutions of the plan that are springing up should not be permitted to confuse or obscure the original and fundamen? tal Idea underlying the plan. The merchant, bank or Individual who re? ceives s bale of col o?i at ten cents a pound on account f.om a farmer who is Indebted io him is not joining the "Buy a Bale" movement. Ho Is mak? ing s good business deal, but this is not ths "Buy a Hale" plan. see The "lluy a Bale" plan was in? augurated to give Immediate und di? rect help to the small farmer who wsa In need of mor y to harvest his crop. It was not designed |sj create a market for the entire cotton crop or any great part of it. but only to help those who were without financial resonrces. It was not Intended that { any on? farmer should unload his crop on the 'Buy a Bale' plan. If the plan Is properly carried.out?If the grasp Ing and greedy Individuals are not permitted to take advantage of the opportunity?no farmer will be i or mltted to sell more than one hale and only those who can show that they art nail;.- need $ 0 to harvest the bal? ance of thetr crop will at permitted to ssll one hale To safeguard the plan strains t the destructive influences of those who are trying to unworthily ?else noon benefits to which they are not entitled, it has become necessftir) to Adopt measures to Keep a check ON all sellers of cotton.

The Chamber of Commerce will handle th ? transactions through Sumter Trust Company and all cotton will be sampled and graded by Mr. Glenn or some other regular cotton buyer. The Chamber of Commerce now has a long list of farmers who wish to sell a bale each and each one will be In? vestigated to ascertain if he is entitled to the benellt of the "Buy a Hale" plan. The applications for cotton will be tilled from this list of sell? ers In the order In which they are listed. "GKOW OATS" IS WORD. W. W.
