Dillon Cotton Growers

Columbia, Dec. l2.-Thc cotton
growers of Dillon county are looking
with great favor and enthusiasm
upon the movement for the coopera-
tive marketing of cotton, according to
Senator p. L. Bcthca, a Columbia Wis
itor, yesterday. Approximately 1000
bales have already been signed Up in
that county, he said, and an active
canvass be thinks will result in a good
portion of the county's crop Icing
signed.

Dear Mr.. Browning:
There is now much being said
through the leading papers of our
country of the Cotton Marketing AS
sociation which has been launched
solely to help the farmer market his
cotton with as little waste and in as
much haste as possible. AS l see it.,
this will enable the farmer to get a
much higher pricer for his cotton.
AS farmer and banker | would
unhesitatingly recommend that each
and every farmer of our country be-
come a members of this associat ton.
/ see no reason why this association
should not be thoroughly organized

Union, S. c., Dec. IL, 1921.
Mr.. Editor:
The accompanying letters show the
views of the best business men of our
county in regard to the organization
of the Cotton Marketing Association
in this State.
This plan is no new one-it has
been in operation for years in Cali
fornia among the fruit growers and
has made that the richest agricul-
tural section of the world. This
years marketing of cotton through
state marketing associations has been
very successfully carried on in Texas,
Oklahoma, Arizona and Mississippi.

show that so far this season, the cot
ton marketing association of that
state has sold cotton Of its numbers
at over &c pound higher price than
The Union daily times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1918-current, 1921-12-17

Il have given the marketing end of
our problem considerable thought dur
ing the past few years, said Sena-
tor Bcthca, because have recog-
nized the fact that there was some
thing radically wrong about it and
that something ought to be done to
correct it. | am convinced that the
solution Cf the problem will be found
in the cooperative marketing of cot
ton along the lines that we are plan
ming.
Il am confident that the effort to
form tn" South Carolina Cotton Grow
ers Cooperative Association will sue
cecd. The idea is spreading very
rapidly and the eyes of our people are
being opened to the wisdom of this
movement. To me it appears to be
the most sensible thing that the farm
rrs have undertaken in many years."

individual farmers have been able to
sell their crop.
1t is proving equally successful in
the other states and the hope is that
by next fall every cotton state will be
organized into the marketing associa-
ton. An active campaign will soon
be put on in Union county and we ask
that every cotton producer and every
landlord who receives cotton as rent
will thoroughly investigate the plan
Of the marketing association and we
hope that all will sign the contract.

fled that this organization will be OF
greater benefit to the cotton farmers
of the state than all other farm or

should and undoubtedly will get the
farmer higher price for his cotton
it will eliminate a great deal of waste
in the handling of cotton, and it will
place each grower on the same basis

opinion it will strengthen the basis OF
