We listened closely to Mr.. Carl
Williams talk at the court house Sat-
Hrday afternoon and so far as we
ere able to see there are no objection
able features to the cooperative mar
keting plan as he explained it. On
the other hand the plan has many ex-
cellent features. 1t is admitted on
every hand that cotton will sell at
higher price when offered in big lots,
and this method of marketing seems
TO be the leading feature of the COOP
eradve marketing plan. When the
producer surrenders his cotton to the
association its control passes out of
his hands and the price at which it
shall be sold is optional with the
association, but it has been shown
that the association always sells at a
price slightly above the market and
therefore the producer runs no risk
There is no questioning the fact that
At La the best way to sell cotton and
we believe that all cotton placed with
xhe association will be handled to the
best advantage to the producer.

One of the painful recollections of
erstwhile prosperous times is the
memory of the smooth-tongued stock
salesman who exchanged stocks of
questionable value for good U. S.
currency and then departed for fields
anew and pastures green. Since the
decline in the price of cotton the stock
salesman has been conspicuous by his
absence. but If cotton should go to 80
cr 40 cents a pound he will make his
reGppearance overnight The stock
salesman. like the circus, does not at
tempt to operate where there is not
much money In circulation.

Thirty thousand bales-that will be
Dihon's crop in spite of the boil wee
vii and wet weather-at 20 cents a
pound means three million dollars.
Add TO that three quarters of a mil

have nearly four timesa as much as the
nine banks of the county owe to out
side banks. The county is 4 long ways

II a fourteen million bale crop
would have brought 10 cents pound
why shouldn't a seven million bale
crop bring 20 cents? Ten cents a
pound would have been less than the
pfe-war average. yet there are men
OF intelligence who will argue that
1H cents pound is fair price for
1he 1921 crop.
