COTTON BAGGNG
FARMERS OF MONTGOMERY C0UN-
TY DISCUSS QUESTION.
Committee Appointed to Interview
State Oficials ON Proposition
Prof. Helm Of Pine Level
Elected Delegate to the
state C0nve nfion.

The Montgomery County Division of
the Farmers Educational and Coop
erative Union held very important
session Saturday at Ramer when the
economic question of using cotton
bagging was thoroughly discussed.
Full delegations from Pine Level,
Grady, Dublin and Montgomery local
unions were present at the meeting.
After the discussion of the manufac-
ture of the cotton bagging had been
concluded, a resolution was adopted
whereby a committee should see the
State officials and demand q serious
consideration of the proposition to
manufacture cotton bagging for the
farmer. 1t Will be suggested that the
cotton mill at Speigners. operated by
the State, be required 10 manufacture
enough bagging material to supply the
demand, as there Ia but one mill, and
that one in Mississippi, giving the
proposition a business consideration at
the present time.
It was pointed out at the meeting
that the mill owners are always COM
planning that they have not enough to
do in dull times, and yet the demand
of the farmers for cotton bagging Is
paid not the slightest bit Of attention.
The mill in Mississippi has been Of
fering the cotton bagsing for sale only
Ia very limited quantities, for fear, SO
1t was stated, that they would not be
able to meet the demand of the COM
ing crop.
At the Ramer meeting, letters were
read showing that the foreign spin
ners wanted a single cover for the
bale. and that covering. to be cotton
bagging. The letters aroused much in
terest, especially when the spinners
agreed to bar the per cent tare and
buy on a net weight contract basis.
This will lower the tare from per
cent to Ia per cent in the producers
favor.
The gin compress. now being in
stalled near Montgomery. stated
through its representative that 1t want
ed cotton bagging for at least 5000.
and possibly 1000, bales during the
coming season. This makes the propo-
sition a live one to Montgomery cotton
mills, SO 1t was stated on the floor OF
the meeting.
Professor Helm, of Pine Level. was
| elected delegate to the state Conven-
| ton as representative Of Montgomery
| County. 1t is understood that a num-
Der of members Of the Montgomery
District will also attend the sessions
| of the State Convention.
State Lecturer o. P. Ford, of Cal.
houn' County, was in Ramer with this
intention of addressing the meeting
but on account of sickness was una bic
| to be present at the session. Pint
| Level was selected as the next heetine
