reach some deep thinking and infiu.
entail planter who may think it prac-
ticable. In this efforts. 1 am actuated
only by feeling of deep interest in
,he welfare of our southland, and in
the success of my neighbors and
more especially of my boys, for whom
have no higher ambition than that
they become successful tillers of the
soil
The crying need of the farmers to-
day is cooperation. 1t is the watch
word to success. This is an age of
cooperation; every profession. every
hne OF business has its organization
Tor mutual protection. with one ex-
cepuon. The farmers alone stand
ununited and therefore weak, for in
unity there is strength"
1t is n natural law for the stronr IN
prey upon the weak, and this is no
more forcibly illustrated than in the
case of the cotton Spectator and
spinner versus the farmer. The cot
ton spinners have their. organizations
Tor self protection That they
make the farmer their victim is but
Now, | contend that the farmers
should so strengthen themselves that
they can price their cotton Just as the
spinners are able to put their prices
upon the finished products. 1 suy-
gest that the larger farmers only
(those growing not less than hun
dred bales under their supervision)
form themselves into corporation,
and have one organization in each
county in all the principal cotton
states. Let these separate organiza-
tions merge into one, with headouar-
tiers at some central point flor illus
tration,. say Memphis); and each
county organization operate stor-
age warehouse in charge Of COM
peteht classer. Let each bale be
classed when offered for storage, and
q certificate issued giving the weight
and grade of cotton, this certificate
to be negotiable. To illustrate, sup
pose John Smith has deposited one
bale Of cotton weighing five hundred
pounds, grade middling. When this !!
cotton is sold to spinners, he will be |
credited with the net proceeds. On
of certificate, if it has
been transferred to another, the |
amour, inserted in the blank for that |
purpose viii be paid the bearer. If |
there is a balance this goes to John |
Smith, the original owner of the bale /
of cotton.
The home Office of the corporation
will publish weekly what each grad. |
Of cotton is worth. The spinners will
know what the raw material will
cost, without sending their army Of
buyers into the rural districts to
'cour the. country for same. This
process, It Seems to me, would facii-
ate thsrpurchasing of the raw ma
erial by spinners and be an improve
nent upon the present mode of mar
zeting the crop.
