George D. WadIey Back
From European TRIP
Southern States Cotton Corporation to Have
Capital Of Seven billOn--Will Advance rs
Per Cent Of Market Price Of Cotton oiParmer'
Of South.


Financial arrangements, whereby
the Southern States Cotton Corpora
ton can advance il cash t. the
farmers rs per cent Of the highest
market price for their cotton and
interest bearing scrip for the diff
ference between is cents per pound
have been made. The announce
ment is made BY the president, G..
Dole Wadley, who has returned
from a trip to Europe in theintercst
Of the corporation.
Mr.. Wadley returned to Macon
early yesterday morning and NJ q.
Anderson, who is in New York, viii
each Macon the latter part Of the
week.
President Wadley ishighly pleased
over the outlook and will kegin at
once the capitalization Of the Sou
thern States Cotton Corporation at
81 GOO 900. The capital is to be
used for the operation Of the cor
poration in advancing on cotton
taken from the growers, which cot
ton. in turn, will be used as COLA
teral for loans to be passed back to
the farmers, financiers IN Europe
having agreed to lend money on the
cotton when stored in the proper
locations, and in satisfactory ware
houses. 1t is hoped that these plans
can be natured in time to handle Il
good portion 81 the 1928 crop.
Discussing the trip to Europe, Mr..
Wadley states that their trip was
entirely satisfactory, and that he
and Mr.. Anderson arenow confident
Of success. They were given as
gurance of support and cooperation
in their enterprise from spinners as
we'll as bankers, in the different
countries they visited.
Z Mr.. Wadley further discussing
the proposition said
1.-THE corporation has made
arrangements whereby it can adj
vance in cash to farmers rs per
cent Of the highest market price for
their cotton on the day Of delivery
and to give, in addition to this cash
payment, interest bearing scrip for
the difference between the amount
advanced and Is cents per pound
This scrip is payable when the cot
ton is sold at Is cents per pound,
basis middhng, and the farmers will
notbe liable for any charges accruing
ON account Of the holding of their
cotton.
The spinners who were inter
viewed stated that they would well
come a change from the present
condition, and that there is no obs
lection to a reasonable price FORGOT
ton fit ean-only be made stable. At
present it is the fluctuations il the
market that the spinner constantly
fears.
THE Southern States Cotton Corps
Grafton expects to bring the spinner
and the farmer constantly together
and as nearly rs possible to see that
the farmer gets all The money for his
cotton that the spinner pays for It.
The trip abroad was made with the
object of being able to state the fin
ancial arrangements for borrowing
money on cotton had been made be-
fore any attempt was made to sell
the stock OF the corporation-thesel
