Draft Resolutions to Keep
The Price of Cotton at
Cost of Production
RESOLUTIONS SENT TO
WASHINGTON AT ONCE
Recommend That Farmers Sell Cot.
tom Slowly, and to Get Good
Price Before Selling at All

The continued decline in price of
cotton has, caused alarm in farming
circles, and hastily called meeting
was held on Saturday at the Court
house to take some action in the mat
ter of holding cotton, also to name
delegates to the cotton convention
called to meet in Atlanta at an early
date.
There was only few hours notice
and yet the Courthouse was filed to
overfowing and there is no doubt
that the farmers are in earnest about
some action to protect themselves
and after discussion of the subject
the following resolution was offered
by Judge N. A. Morris:
Be It Resolved by the one thou
sand cotton growers of Cobb coun~
ty, this day assembled in mass meet
ing at the Courthouse at Marietta,
Georgia, as follows:
WHEREAS, the insiduous work of
the cotton fixing propagandists has
had the effect of driving the price of
cotton down from about 38 cents per
pound to about % cents per pound
and they are endeavoring to drive it
still lower; and
WHEREAS, the present price of
cotton on account of the shortage
of crops, increase price of labor, fer
tflizer, machinery, farming imple-
ments, stock, etc., is now selling be-
low it's actual cost of production;
and
WHEREAS, a large number of
the farmers in the cotton belt are
marketing their cotton at price be-
low it's production in order to meet
their obligations incurred therefor and
in order to meet their obligations in
the purchase of Liberty Bonds and
War Savings Stamps; and
WHEREAS, every state in the
cotton belt and practically every
county in the states have gone "Over
the top" in every call that has been
made by the Commander in Chief
of our Army and Navy for soldiers,
for the purchase of Thrift Stamps,
War Savings Stamps and Liberty
Bonds and they have given freely

VAUGHN MAKES GOOD
SPEECH ON TUESDAY
Small Audience Greets DR.. Vaughn
In His Address on United War
Work Campaign at Courthouse

We hope that it was not a feeling
of any disapproval that caused many
people to miss great treat at the
Courthouse meeting Tuesday.
Considering the caliber of the
speaker, and the greatess of the
cause, very small audience heard
DR.. A. B. Vaughn speak at the court
house on Tuesday afternoon, on the
United War Work.
1t was our pleasure to hear this adj
dress as we'll as the Introductory re-
marks of DR.. l. A. White, and we can
say personally that they were most
earnest, logical and stirring appeals
to our people to acquit themselves
as men, and as good citizens and
Christians, IN this coming drive to
raise funds for the benefit of our
bows in the camps, both in America
and abroad.
Certainly every hearer left the
room with a stronger resolution to
put every energy into the work, and
and to make any necessary sacrifices
to raise the funds needed.
We sincerely regret that every
man and woman in Cobb County
could not have been there.

YOU CAN GROW HOGS
CHEAPER IN GEORGIA
w. c. Mcclure Writes Letter on In
dustry That Is Becoming Daily
More Important in South

''The South can produce feeder
pigs up to 125 pounds for much less
money than the corn belt can, anC
the custom of marketing our corr
through livestock is growing in the
corn belt and will continue to grow
The fact that Europe will need meat
for years to come is likely to make il
a profitable business for long time,
and in this operation, the producer
of the feeder hog gets the long end
of the money, as we in the corn belt
have $500 land, high priced labor and
also feed the weather to some ex-
tent
another point which, if l lived in
the South, would be occupying my
attention right now, is the demand
which will undoubtedly exist for
brood sows in Europe at the close of
the war for from no other animal
can they get eatable meat and fat in
eight months. i see no reason why
the people of Georgia should not
make the corn belt feel competition
all the way from the farrowing pen
to the block. So far as can learn
your cost of production all the way
through is much less than ours"
Yours very truly,
w C McGITIRE
Agent in Feeder Hog Distribution
The man who wrote the above to
the State Pig Club Agent is employ
ed by the government TO get the pigs
and hogs out of crop-failure sections
and into parts of the country where
feed is plentiful. In other words, his
job is to get seller and buyer toge-
ther so underweight and underfEd
hogs will not glut the market. He
travels all over the country. He has
raised and fed hogs himself and
knows the game. He has orders for
100000 head he cannot fill, and he
and ten of his friends would like to
get hold of thousand each one hum
dred pound pigs. So, what this man
has to say should be taken seriously
as he is in a position to know what
he is talking about. He says we can
beat the Middlewest raising hogs
from the farrowing pen to the butch-
er's block, or from start to finish.
The new point he brought cut was
the demand there will be for brood
sows after the war. But the war is
not over, and that is what we should
think most of right now Mr.. Hoov-
er has promised Europe that this
country will supply fifteen million
tons of cured hog meat next year in
addition to filling our own needs.
Last year, Georgia was asked to in
crease her supply of hogs five per
cent. This next year, the state will
be called on for an increase of ten
per cent. If you raised one hundred
hogs last year, you viii be asked to
raise to maturity one hundred and
ten head next year.
