T. ROY REID EMPHA-
 SIZES THE ADVANTAGES OF COOPERATIVE SHIPPING

Ten cars of cattle and three cars of hogs were shipped CO., operatiVely from seven counties Of the state last week is the information given out by T. Roy Reid, Assistant Marketing Agent with the Agricultural Ex- tension Division. Three cars CT cattle and one car of hogs were shipped from Conway county, three cars of cattle from Fulton county, one ear or cattle from Columbia county and one ear of cattle from Sharp county.
 Several counties of the state have made very enviable reports in cooperative marketing of live stock this year. A recent report from Conway county shows that county Agent, J. l.. Phillips has directed the shipments of IS cars of livestock to the central mar kets and saved more than $4.- 000.00 to the small livestock producers of this one county during the last six months. Four cars of potatoes have also been shipped from this county which brought the farmers S2.- 500.00 which would have in all probability been lost if it had not been for the cooperative effort since there was no local market for those potatoes.
 While the savings have been Ia big item in this co-operatil e effort, the educational feature has probably Eeen of the most benefit. Grades and classes of livestock and the market value of good animals have been taught. A new insight has been given into the markets, market reports and marketing methods.

ECHOES FR0N
 THE WORLD COT-
 TON CONFERENCE,
Il. r. CRUCE URGES COTTON GROWER TO SELECT SEED WITH CARE.

There was in attendance at the World Cotton Conference held in New Orleans last wee, about five thousand delagate, representing practically every cotton growing and cotton sois- ming country in the worl l, many of whom could not speak the English language suffieens ly to address the Conference.
 Sir A. Herbert Dixon Of Man chester, England took quite au active part in the Conventio ,. and was elected President of the next Conference, which vii? be held in England in 1921.
 There were many resolutions passed at this conference that. if carried out, will result in much good to the cotton grow CT of the South. In listening tc the spinners of the world talk. the writer was particularly im. . pressed with the importance c. taking better care of cotton ard growing the stronger staples. The splnners are willing to pay almost any price for long staple cotton if white, and there Is q strong demand for all white cot ton that will pull an inch and better. We were told by the Spinners that this demand would not only continue, but would grow for years to come. On the other hand, they do not want the lower grades or short cotton at any price.
 Since we know what the Spinners want, would it not be good business on the part of the grower to look carefully to his seed selection another year, and grow only such varieties that will pull an inch and better? 1 am told that the Rowden Big Boil and Mebane Triumph are best suited to the thin hill land3 and either will pull an inch ana a sixteenth if planted early and fertilized.
 There is no line of manufac- turers that do not look careful. ly to the needs of the buying public before beginning opera tions in order that they may produce what will sell at a profit. Why not the cotton grower use this same method ii his business? Find out what the manufacturer wants, and then grow it for him.
