american Growers Exchange Be-
hind Marketing Associations
Here In New Drive


ATLANTA, Nov. 15.-The Georgia
Cotton Growers COOPERATIVE asso-
1ia+ion. whirh is organizing farmers
rf the state for cooperative market
mo anon the California plan, an
nonnces the reduction of the mini
n,um balage requirement necessary
to make its contracts effective from
qo0 o00 bales to 100000 bales, and
The extension of the final date with
in which the minimum must be se'
cured from January !, 1922, to
April /, l22.
The step, which is one of the most
important to be taken by the organ
-zation committee Of the association
since the Inauguration of the move
ment in Georgia, was tentatively de-
cided upon; according to A. A. Eli
more, director of organization, at
the meeting of the committee held in
Atlanta ten days ago, but announce
mont was withheld pending a wide
spread inquiry among members OF
r1o association, taken at random, to
test the sentiment of the whole mem
bership. This inquiry, it is stated,
has resulted in one hundred per cent
approval, assuring the point that
growers of some one hundred thous-
and bales, who have already signed
the contract. will sign the extension
rider necessary to keep their con
tracts effective. For new members
a new contract. containing the new
minimum balage requirement ano
new final date, is now on the press
and will be gotten into the field i'm
mediately.
Explaining the action, Mr.. Elmore
gave out the following statement:
"The greatest, almost the only
cause Of hesitancy toward signing the
association contract and paying the
have encountered among the farmers
. necessary membership fee, which we
recently has been the feeling of doubt
as to whether the association could
"go over" within the time limit set
considering the temporary loss to the
association Of wide strip across the
middle of the state where devastation
wrought by the boil weevil has been
so great that vast numbers of farm
cts believe now that they will never
raise another stalk of cotton.
BY this extension, giving us three
additional months in which to work,
and giving us a minimum bale re-
Quircment of which practically fifty
per cent has already been secured
the successful completion of the as
aociation becomes thoroughly assur-
ed, and this ground of hesitancy re-
moved. 1t is always easier to obtain
membership in a completed organiza-
ton thanin a contingent one, and
we wish to reach the point of com,
pletion at the earliest possible date.
I'VE are about to launch a great
new campaign, in which we will have
the assistance of the American Cot
ton Growers exchange and other
forces, and we wish to start this new
QIYe under the most favorable pos
&bIe auspices. We hope to pass our
new minimum within two or three
weeks after the new drive is started,
and to keep up the work without let
up until we have signed fifty pr cent
ol the cotton crop of the state"
