PRESIDENT JORDAN
VISITS AMERICUS,
Talks Interestingly of Agricultural
Outlook.
SECRET OF FARMERS SUCCESS.
He thinks is in Diversifcation and the
Production of Food Supplies. Or
ganizes the Florida Farmers =
Nee ting of National Congress

President Harvie Jordan, of the Cot
ton Growers Protective and Coopera-
tive Association, was a prominent vis1-
tor in Americas yesterday, spending
the day pleasantly among friends
while at the same time attending to
duties in connection with his office.
President Jordan talks interestingly
about his great work, the benificent
influence of which is felt in every cot
ton growing state in the South.
He has but recently returned from
Florida, where the cotton growers
have been organized through his eff
forts. In short while he goes to
Alabama, by special invitation, and
thence TO South Carolina and later to
Arkansas
AS an Illustration of the benefit de-.
rived by organization among the cot
ton producers, President Jordan told
an incident occurring in Alachua coun-
ty, Fla. few weeks since
This county grows sea island cotton
almost exclusively.
The farmers there had 2 600 bales Of
cotton, for which they had been offered
Is cents per pourd. They thought it
worth more, and.to the end of getting
better price Effected an organization
and agreed not TO sell bale of it for
less than 81 cents. They stood solidIy
together.
And with the result that in less than
sixty days one buyer readily took the
eutire lot at 2 cents per pound and
without cutting the bags.
While the farmers put $50 900 addi-
tional into their pockets.
Travelling through Georgia, Presi-
dent Jordan is greatly impressed with
the thrift evidenced among the farm ers;
the improvement of homes, and par
ticularlY with the herds of fue stock
to be seen now in every section. Fine
stock means the production, in time,
of all home supplies.
And herein, after all, lies the secret
of success, he says. For when the
farmer produces at home all supplies
consumed he is independent, and can
market his cotton whenever he likes.
President Jordan proposes going to
Texas again at no distant date. There,
he says, the farmers are we'll organized,
marketing ten per cent of their cotton
each month. In this way the market
is not glutted and better price is OBJ
tanned, The adoption of this plan
generally is advised.
President Jordan is working now to
the end of having the National Farmers
Congress, the greatest agricultural
organization in the world, hold it's
next session in Macon in October, and
thinks he will be successful therein. A
thousand delegates will attend the
session.
