official that at least one million dol lars was added to the income of Texas farmers through premiums ereceived in the sale of cotton on account or the knowledge of the market value on the part of the farmer before selling. Farmers interested in the cooperative organizations with which the depart ment has maintained contact have ex- pressed uniform qualification at the results achieved through their associa- tions. and have made various state ments showing that they have received from two dollars up to twenty and thirty dollars a bale more for their cotton because it was sold through the organizations
 Tt is unfortunate" continued Mir. Stevens, that Mir Meredith dtl not have a report on the activity of the Arizona association when he wrote this speech If he had he could have raised his figures quite bit
 Members of the Arizona American Egyptian Cotton Growers association, in q number of instances during the past season. received more than fifty dollars per bale more by selling through the association than they would have otherwise received.
 Ten dollars per ton above the local market was received for seed by a number of the members. Proper grad ing and chasing for our members en- abled them to know whether they were being offered the price commensurate with the grade and market. Our mar ket letters kept them constantly in- formed as to the actual value of the cotton all times.
 This year the service will be great ly enlarged, and the organization is growing rapidly in membership, influ- enSe, strength and results"

AGRICULTURE DEPT.
 AIDING FARMERS IN
 COOPERATIVE PLAN

The United States Department of Agriculture fa.vors and aids farmers cooperative organizations, particularly cotton growers marketing organiza- .tions, said w. s. Stevens. president of me Arizona American Egyptian Cot ion Growers association. recently.
 ihe department particularly CO., operates with the American Cotton as- .Sociation. of which our association is the Arizona branch, and in this con hection it is most interesting to note some of the remarks of the secretary or agriculture, Hon. E. T. Meredith, before the South Carolina branch of the association
 Speaking before the South Carolina organization at Columbia on the 18th Of March, MT. Meredith said. Making cotton is an intricate business, but marketing cotton is still more intri- cate business. The farmer can learn successful neighbor much more readily than he can learn how to market cot ron by watching successful marketing Dy someone else. The problems of marketing, however, are inextricably lnterwoven with the problems of pro- auction For proper marketing methods mean that the farmer will realize more for the cotton which he mas grown and will therefore be en- couraged in the production of cotton.
 Whatever the difficulties and they are not to be underestimated,- connected with the marketing of cot ton, one thing is clearly evident:-the farmer who sells cotton should be placed on terms of equality with. the buyer who purchases it This includes more than might at first appear
 The farmer should have equal in formation with the buyer as to market prices and conditions, the laws of buy ing and selling cotton should be poised Tn equal justice between the farmer Who sells and the person who buys; commercial machinery that in any way affects the marketing of cotton should be so administered as to give the buyer ana the seller an equal chance: the formers should receive the benefits of organization to the same extent that they are enjoyed by buyers
 am glad to note that the matter or cooperation in the marketing of their product is receiving more attention from cotton producers.
 !" The individual farmer is rarely in position to secure the proper informa- ton as to market conditions and the value of the cotton he has for sale Moreover. from the nature of things. he IS not in position to perform the highly technical duties of commercial handling of cotton.
 Cooperative organization. where his interests are pooled with those of his neighbor, make it possible, how ever. for him to secure information and to obtain the services Of expert classers and sales men for his cotton, and also provides the means through which he may improve the ginning, storage and handling facilities in general.
 within the last three or four years a number of such cooperative aSsocia- tions have been formed throughout the cotton belt, with which the Bureau of Markets and the Director of Extension is cooperating in this matter
 '' It has been estimated by a Texas
