COOPERATIVE COTTON
MARKETING PLAN
COTTON GROWERS IN OKLAHOMA AND
ELSEWHERE WORKING OUT SELLING SCHEME
By Fred Wilmarth, Oklahoma Cot.
ton Growers Association.

In signing up 400. 900 bales OF their
crop to be sold through their own
marketing association, $1,000 Okla
homa cotton farmers have taken the
first step toward putting cotton
farming In Oklahoma on a business
basis.
Finishing on April 2 a campaign
that was scheduled to close May l,
the Oklahoma growers had signed
over 100000 bales more than the 300,-
900 bale minimum fixed as their goal.
The Association is non stock cor
poration composed only OF cotton
growers. Its management is now
In the hands OF temporary board
OF directors appointed by the organ
ization committee which went out
OF existence as such with the appoint
ment OF the temporary board. The
chief duties OF this temporary board
are to arrange for the election OF the
permanent directors who will man
age the affairs of the association In
handling the 1921 cotton crop of It's
members. This election Is to be held
on May %. One director will be
elected by the members from among
their own number, to represent each
OF the 10 districts into which the
state IL divided, An eleventh director
is to be appointed by the president
OF the State Board OF Agriculture to
represent the interests OF the general
public In the management OF the
Association. This public representa-
tive on the board will, leaders in the
Association say, eliminate all possi-
bility of unfair price fixing which
might result in unnecessarily cost to
the consumer.

Recently we had occasion to quote
a. free trade senator Of the United
States to the effect that he believed
that farming in America was doom
ed; that 1t could not much longer be
conducted other than by q race Of
serfs and poems. We do not believe
any such doctrine. Just SO surely as
our present Industrial development
is In large part directly due to the
erection OF tariff barrier In the
years gone by, just 80 surely will the
enactment of proper tariff restric-
tions enable our menaced agricultur-
al industry to arise to new might
and power.
Agricultural development In other
quarters of the earth has brought
about the production OF those things
we produce and need, and at a cost
in comparably lower than is possible
under our civilization. International
transportation has developed and
quickened, carrying as it's cOrollary
the fact that water borne traffic can
be and is much less costly than that
on land. Our farmers, therefore, have
keen competition for almost every
thing they produce. These condi-
tions make mandatory In the inter-
est OF our very preservation as a
nation the enactment of such tariff
legislation as will safeguard our ag-
ricultuRal interests.

There are many townsin the Okla

because practically all of the cotton

One entire county, McClain, in the
