adoption of this plan. 1t will consume
like $4,000 bales Of this
class of cotton if the use of cotton
bagging can be made universal
throughout the state, and it will, they
claim, make the cotton worth more
on the British market, if not at home.
The additional claim is made that by
reason of the arrangement to have the
bagging go direct from the factory to
the farmer, something like $2,000,000
will be saved to the farmer in the price
of the bagging alone in the south.
The officials who are here report
that their organization growing in
a more substantial manner than ever
before, and that, on the average bet
ter class of farmers is being recruited
into the ranks.
New warehouses are being construct
ed all over the state by the local and
| county unions, and elaborate prepar
| atoms are being made for the finatc,

grown.
1t is the intention of the leadina
members of the organization to so reg
