Summary of Cotton Contract of 5. {
Cotton Growers Cooperative
Association.

% The association is strictly CO.
operative. (2) Only cotton farmers
can join, and the association belongs
to them. 81 There is no stock and
there are no profits. Proceeds are
paid to the farmers after deducting
all expenses of the association. (G
All farmers are treated exactly alike,
no partiality, all sign the same con-
tract. (5) Good grades bring a good
price, poor grades not so good. (6)
The association is not trying to fix
the price, but to get it for the farmer.
CD The farmer agrees to deliver for
five years all of the cotton he grows,
but he may from time to time grow
more, less, or none, as he himself
chooses. (S) The contract is bind
ing, there is no way to dodge it when
once effective--do not ECrget that;
but it does not become effective until
the growers of 100000 bales of cotton
sign up. 10Y The association will
pool all cotton and sell from time to
time in large lots. Each grower will

Handling the Crop.
The association will provide ,facili-
ties for warehousing and handling
the cotton of members. These ar
will be made by the di-
rectors and may consist either of
trading with warehouses already
built to handle cotton, or of organic
ing companies to build warehouses
under certain conditions With the
large number of warehouses now in
the state warehouse system, it is pro-
bable that the association will . not
find it necessary to build new ware
houses.
