THE MARKETING OF COTTON.

The conference of Southern governors, which has
been called to meet in Atlanta on Friday, July the
twelfth to devise a protective and businesslike sys
tenn for marketing the cotton crop merits the earnest
support of this entire section. For the problems
with which It is to deal touch only the farmer
but also the manufacturer the merchant and, in the
long rum every household and every citizen in this
corner Of the Union. 1t is the problem of how to
make.the Souths great staple crop yield due returns
to the who produce it, and to the people whose
material welfare and progress it largely deter
mines
Careful students of the economic side of this crop
declare that for the past ten years, the Southern
farmer has been compelled to accept an average of
ten cents a pound for his cotton when its cost of
production has been, at minimum estimate twelve
cents a pound How can expect to prosper, If
such conditions suffered to continue? What will
our improvements in methods of cultivation and har
vesting avail IL to go losing each year two
cents on every pound of cotton grown? How shall
the South ever achieve economic independence, and
all which that implies If she remains the victim Of
such a regime?-
There must be a remedy for this state of affairs.
Cotton is product used and demanded the world
around; and when measured by the demand its sup
ply is not excessive. There is good to be-
lieve that our present i-considered methods of
marketing the crop are largely If not entirely re-
sponsible for the inadequate price it brings.
The purpose of the conference of governors is to
suppIant this slipshod plan of marketing with one
that is businesslike and that is founded economic
laws. We believe that the farmers of the South are
ready to support movement thai will accomplish
this important end. The discussions of the confer
ence and its conclusions will be awaited with extraor
binary interest.

DEVELOPING GEORGIA LANDS

From Savannah comes an interesting story of a
movement TO develop extensive truck farming inter
ests in Chatham county 1t appears that the owners
and controllers of many thousand of rural
lands are to organize with adequate capital break up
the large tracts into small farms and offer them to
desirable settlers on comparatively easy terms Of
payment
Such an enterprise. carefully handled would be
OF arreaching value not only to the interests behind
it. but also to the county and the state 1t would
encourage other communities to similar undertake
ings. and thus in time would add immensely to
Georgia's wealth and population.
1t has been truly said that as regards soil and
available markets and transportation facilities these
Chatham county lands afford the richest Opportuni-
ties for truck farming the South Atlantic coast
This viii become more emphatically true, as the
projects for draining swamp and overflow territory
are pressed to completion, they undoubtedly will
Be in the distant future. Great stretches of land
that are now idle and of little or no worth either to
their individual owners to the state viii become
wonderfully productive and hence highly valuable
when divided into small farms. cultivated by inten
sive methods and devoted to food crops.
OF particular interest is the reported purpose of
the men behind this movement to aid the new settler
in getting start and to enable him to pay for his
land on easy terms. This plan has been tried with
thorough success in Europe notably in Denmark.
In that country the state itself has gone into the
enterprise of developing truck farms through a
cooperative system the result is that it is of the
most prosperous. though smallest, nations in the
world.
Georgia is coming more and more widely into the
notice Of American investors and home seekers. Its
soil and climate offer the rarest inducements to be
found on this continent. Western farmers Of the
type who once moved to Canada, carrying with them
each year thousands of dollars and a productive
capacity beyond all reckoning turning in larger
and larger numbers TO the South.
II Georgia will show such men that she not only
the natural advantages they seeking that
she is also prepared help them in establishing new
homes. she viii become, she is entitled to be- the
Mecca OF the entire country.
Such movement as that said to be under way in
Chatham county marks a long stride in the right
direction 1t means much to its projectors and to
the states common interests.
