=s.aNeM-me.propose that the South
get Henxss Ford, of Detroit, to han
die the hsA cotton crop. We say that
he will make the finest cotton mar
keting association which has yet been
sinvented. Cotton will GO up ten
cents a pound the day before he
htakes charge. After that, maybe,
Henry will devise a scheme by
which the farmers in the South may
[ sell tPsir cotton for about half what
they have been selling it for hereto
fore !!And;S still make more money
than they ever made before. Perhaps
they will make the same amount per
bale ithat Henry makes on a Ford,
say s1s9.1s. You ask how they will
do this when cotton does not sell for
that much, but Henry does, and ne
will show you. -.

net fool with the cotton Acrop, be-
eaussthe whole crop this year would
Fhot pay his salary for more than a

man who works for money. He works

States and if you are doing good.
work AND. he thinks you are worth
it, he raises your wages without be-
ing asked. It is not the: money he is
after but results. This is proved by
the fact that he was willing to be-
come United States Senator. That
Office pays but $500 per year, and
yet Henry was willing to take that.
He said the reason he wanted to get
in was to try out the Ford methods
and machines on the Senate, and if
he had gotten in he would have been
having quantity production in legis-
lation by this time. The Bills and Acts
might have had the rattle in them,
but they would have the Ford effici-
ency and that is what climbs hills. If
Henry was willing to take an Of
flee at a salary of $1,000 in order to
get to run the United States Senate
we are among those who believe that
he would be willing to become the
Ford Marketing Association, and sell
all the cotton the South makes, at
prices entirely satisfactory to both
producers and buyers, and take the
old cotton stalks for his pay. We
do not know of course what Henry
would do with the old cotton stalks,
but we have an idea that by the end
of the year, some farmer UP in An
derson County would want to get
of the contract with Henry because
he, Henry, was making too much out
of the waste product. . 1.s
We hope that the people, that is
the cotton farmers, will consider our
suggestions, and if they think wise
they might get up a petition asking
Henry to incorporate himself into a
marketing association. 1t would not
hurt to give the scheme a trial.
