Tuning Up the Mayhower
For Presidential Cruise
; ZACH, TO Make Weeks Trial
Trip and Try Out New
Mahogany Launch

From The. Triburos Washington Bureau
WASHlNGTON, March 2S.-The Presi-
dents yacht. the Mayhower, is to leave
here soon on two weeks cruise pre-
paratory to conveying the President
and MS. Harding on spring trip. The
yacht has been moored at the navy
yard here since last fall and Com
mander Holmes, who serves as naval
aid to the President, is eager to try
out tho Mayf1ower before the President
and his party embark.
A new gas launch costing several
thousand dollars has been added to the
equipment Of the Mayhower. 1t will be
used by the Presidential party in
boarding and leaving the yacht when
shallow water precludes the Mayhower
tying up at dock. The new launch is
the last word in modern appointments
and is made Of mahogany and rcsplen-
dent with brass trimmings.

reason that there is not enough of
this cotton under the control of any
one organization to make any ar
rangements for a continuing supply
With what will be majority OF the
cotton to be handled by the associa-
ton over period of years, this OBJ
lection has been overcome, and many
mills are being interested that here
tofore have been giving 6cant at
tention to this cotton.
There seems little question but
that most of the problems connected
with the production and marketing
of this fine cotton have been solved
or are we'll on the way to solution,
and the growers who are members
of the Arizona Pimacotton Growers
are looking confidently forward to
a long period of fair returns from
this industry and consequent liquida-
ton of old obligations and the es-
adjustment of the same prosperity
as has been established by similar
cooperative handling of commodi-
ties produced in other sections.
Membership Growing
While the enumeration of a few
of the many benefits the members
and the cotton industry is sufficient
to demonstrate both that the prin-
cipal of cooperative marketing can
be successfully applied to cotton as
well as the success of the local or
ganization; still, one of the best
guages of the success of any or
ganization is whether or not 1t in
creases in membership.
The fact, then, that the member
| ship of the Arizona Pimacotton
Growers is steadily growing is an
other criterion of success. and one
of the most satisfactory. Many grow
ers who thought themselves too In
volved to be able to partake OF the
advantages of cooperation with
their neighbors In the beginning
have now Joined for the remainder
of this season, and for the remainder
| of the contract, and hundreds more
! have assured the representatives OF
the association that If they produce
cotton in the ensuing years that
| they will beyond any doubt take ad-
vantage of membership in this bust
ness organization OF Arizona farm
ers.
The Arizona Pimacotton Growers is
state organization. and although
the time was too short to organize
for this year outside the valley, in
quiries have been coming in from
other sections, and it is expected
that branches of the association will
be established in various other cot
ton sections of the state.
The growers in California have
been waiting with great interest the
work of the Arizona organization
Arizona republican., 1922-01-01

was largely secured by the cotton
growers organizations.
Ginning
In the meantime the association
had been working for months
through the organization committee
and after reorganization, through the
board, to secure reasonable ginning
rates. A contract was finally secured
with one company at so cents per
hundredweight and the adoption OF
the same ginning rate secured by all,
resulting in the saving OF enormous
sums to all the cotton growers.
A ginning expert was employed TO
visit the gins and inspect the work
done, and the grade of work was
constantly improved, until there is
no doubt but that the quality OF
ginning in the valley this year Is
very much better than ever before
in the history of the cotton industry
here, and a large amount added to
the entire crop.
Seed Prices
The association made contract
for the sale of large amount OF
seed outside the valley at the average
Texas price, f. o. b. Phoenix. and the
value of all seed in the valley rose
Immediately, and it is safe to say
that a substantial amount has been
| added to the value of the seed crop
by this activity.
Office Organization
One of the first things done by the
association was to organize the Of
flee and its work along the most
up-to- date and efficient business
lines and so efficient has been the
work done that the cost of handling
has been approximately one-third the
| cost of many commissions formerly
paid, another large saving, this saw
ing affecting members only, o.
! course.
When the member delivers cottor
! 1t is carefully graded and stapleC
| by an expert licensed grader, super
| vised by a direct representative Of
the bureau of markets, George But
terworth. Particular attention is paiC
| to the segregation in even running
I staples as well as grades, somethin:
that has never been done on SO ex
| tensive a scale or so careful man
ner In the previous history OF thi
cotton.
This policy is good business for tn
j association, in that large lists o
| even running cotton generally com
mand a premium over small 10
lots. and 1t is good business for th
Pimacotton industry in general, 4
that it tends to popularize our cot
ton with the mills who buy in evel
running lots If they can be secured
Effective Work
II will be seen from the abov
resume that the association, even j.
Arizona republican., 1922-01-01

it's infancy, has done effective work,
for the reasons that it is founded on
proven principles of co operation and
is managed as a. purely business in
stitution, as it should be.
Much as has been accomplished by
the association this year and
that will be accomplished before the
season is completed, there are many
reasons to anticipate that even great
er success will attend it's efforts in
the years to come.
This year we have a large carry
over of old cotton outside the asso-
citation to be disposed of, and we
have a considerable amount of new
cotton, that being or having been
in the hands of people who had to
realize on it at once, has been and
is being sold at much less than its
intrinsic value. This necessarily ef-
fects the market though the asso-
citation by its sales policy of offering
even running lots in quantity, does
! secure better prices than the average
individual secures.
In the years to come, however, this
| condition will be changed. The old
cotton will be gone. The amount OF
cotton handled outside the associa-
tion will be relatively small, and un-
der these conditions the association
can undoubtedly secure still better
results.
| Under the plan the association is
working out of budgeting and pre-
determining the amount Of Pimacot-
ton that will be required in the sue
ceeding year or years, 1t will event.
| ually succeed in so stabilizing the
demand, the supply. and the aver
age price, as to largely stabilize the
value of land suitable for cotton, or
the basis of fair return on the
value. Those who consider thes'
things dreams are cordially invited
to consider the fact that a year age
it was deemed impossible" to or.
ganize the association at ALL and tha
it is most always said to be impos.
sible to carry out any movement fol
the general good. Much more ha
been accomplished than the mos
sanguine anticipated could be brough
to pass in the elapsed time, and M
man may safely say how long tn,
line of progress and returning pros
perity we may travel by the coop
eratiye route.
Mills Being Interested
BY the labors of the Eastern rep
resentative of the association, splen
did work is being done in interestinl
many more mills in the use of Pima
cotton.
The time was when the main oh
lection to our cotton was that larg
users could not be assured of

BY Charles A. Morgan, Secretary
Working quietly, efficiently, and
with the utmost business precision,
there is a farmers organization down
at 525 West Washington street that
for results would put to shame many
an old and established business.
Six months old. it has handled its
BUSINESS in such a manner as to
make and save for the cotton grow
ers of this valley an enormous sum
of money already.
The First COOPERATIVE
The organization that has been
able to do these things is the Arizo-
ma Pimacotton Growers, the first real
cooperative marketing association in
the state of Arizona, and If its ex-
ample of success is to be followed
properly, it is the forerunner OF q
whole flock of co-operatives. But let
it be understood in the beginning
that there are real and fundamental
reasons for the success of the. Arizo-
ma Pimacotton Growers; it is not
an accident that it has made good.
Firm Foundation
It has been quite while since
Patrick Henry made his famous ref
erence to the fact that his feet were
guided by the lamp of experience, yet
the fact remains that there are many
people who still refuse to be guided
by the experience of others, and In
sist on having the experience them
selves. The founders of the Ari-
zona Pimacotton Growers did not
make the mistake of incorporating
in the plan of organization features
that had been proven to be faulty
through failure elsewhere.
For the foundation of the struc-
ture they selected these proven ma
terials: The firm and enforceable con-
tract for period of years; the rep
resentative and democratic method
of government by a board OF direc-
tors elected annually, each member
having the same voting power; the
compulsory pool on quality for the
entire season; and, most important
of all. the handling Of one commod-
ttv only, in large volume. and on the
basis Of commodity and not COM
munity. The preliminary work was
done and the services Of Aaron Sa-
Miro secured to write the contract
Organization Campaign
A group of representative farm
ers and business men farmers was
then formed into an organization
committee. in the absence at tha
time Of any existing body that coulC
perform organization work.
Meetings were held all over tn'
valley. earnest volunteer field work
