now being operated throughout the
South by interests opposed to the pro-
ducer will gain stronghold in the
state. For this reason certain adj
ditions to the present warehouse sys-
tenn will be discussed and in all prob
ability go into effect. These proposed
plans have met with the hearty ap-
proval Of the farmers merchants bank
ers and business men, NOT only
throughout the state but throughout
the entire cotton belt. It isabsolutely
necessary for the producer to not only
warehouse his cotton and finance it
while in the warehouse but to go one
step further, market his cotton and
finance it until it reaches the con-
sumer. Several plans that will COM
plete the chain have been worked out,
these plans have been submitted to the
best posted farmers, merchants, bust
ness and professional men throughout
the South and have met their unani-
nous approval, it being the consen-
sus of opinion thatit will make a COM
plete change in the handling of cotton
and will prove of untold benefit to
the producer and the entire South. 1t
will remove the unnecessary middle
man, put the producer in direct touch
with the consumer and the manufac-
turer both at home, in New England
and abroad. This banking and export
corporation solves the problem.
GAS result of the steps taken at
this meeting the South will warehouse

operation and the farmers, merchants,
bankers, business and professional
men have declared Fundamentally for
it. Leading bankers throughout the
South to whom these plans have been
submitted are supporting 1t and urg-
ing the speedy completion of the neces
sary corporations for carrying the
plan into effect. A similar organiza-
tion has already been formed in Geor
gia with a capital of $2,5OO,O0O. There
is no question but that one will be es
tabished in every state in the cotton
belt, thus completing the chain
throughout the length and breadth of
the cotton belt.
'As result Of all this work there
is no question but that cotton will
never again sell below the cost of pro-
duction, that there will be .tremen-
dous saving in the uneconomic man.

ties are showing considerable rivalry
