COOPERATIVE COTTON
SALES TO START SOON
QBy County Agent HolIingsworth.

0By County Agent Hollingsworth. }
Cotton is now being assembled fol-
the cooperative sales and the first
sale will be held at an early date
The original plan was to hold the
first sale the first week in October
but on account of the early movement
of cotton and the fact that many cot
ton farmers desire an)earlier sale, the
sale date will perhaps be in a week
or 10 days, the exact date to be set
later
A suitable sample room will be
open to display the samples and every
effort made to make this plan helpful
for the farmer who wants to sell his
cotton on its merits.
Mr.. A. N. Odom, government cotton
classer, and A. L. Jordan, state
marketing agent, were here Monday
making final plans for the sales.
These representatives of the United
States Department of Agriculture
will be here to assist in the sales of
the pools. Mr.. Jordan has been very
successful in selling wool co-opera-
lively in this state for several years,
and the cotton pools will be held
along similar lines as the wool pools.
This plan of marketing. cotton is
not new and is being used success
fully in many places at the present
time. The Farm Bureau is selling
comparatively and in many instances
is marketing direct to the eastern
mills. 1t is the hope of those inter-
ested here that this will be the begin
ming of a successful farm bureau for
Upton county next year, or within
few years, as the movement grows.
1t is to be hoped that every farmer
with cotton to sell will investigate
this plan thoroughly. The cost is
very little; the plan is absolutely
safe and sane and has the endorse
ment of the United States Department
of Agriculture and the State of Ten
nessee, as we'll as the endorsement of
many. farmers who take time to thor
oughly investigate. The plan has
been set forth a number of times in
this paper, few points of which |
will repeat:
Your cotton is sold in pools by the
farmers themselves, with the assist
ance of a government cotton expert
and the state marketing agent, both
of whom have had years of training
and experience along this line of work.
Connections have been made in
some of the larger cotton markets,
and with the amount to be sold the
prospects for good sales are excellent.

After the object Of the meeting had
been stated the following resolutions
were adopted without a dissenting
vote:
Whereas, there has recently been
organized at Covington a County
Council Of the United Farmers of
America, which is a secret organiza-
ton, having its home office at
Blytheyille, Arkansas, and having for
its purpose the betterment Of the fl
nancial, moral, educational and indus
trial conditions of its members as set
forth in the preamble to its consti-
tuition and bylaws; and,
Whereas, it has been and now is the
policy of the Covington Business
Mems Club to extend aid and en-
enlargement to the farmer in every
possible way, realizing that whatever
is for the good of the farmer is like
wise for the good Of the business men
and the community in general; and,
Whereas, it is our desire and pur-
pose to continue to cooperate with
our farmers in every good work and
to promote as far as possible at all
times their health, happiness and
prosperity: therefore be it resolved:
/. That we endorse and approve
that feature of the United Farmers Of
America which tends to secure for
them better churches, better schools,
better homes and living conditions,
fetter roads and everything that will
make better citizens and better farm
ers Of them.
2. That we heartily approve of the
idea Of promoting a safe and sane
system of agriculture that viii en-
able them to produce as far as pos
sible everything that they consume
at home, and we have accordingly
piven our support to the efforts Of the
Department Of Agriculture through
the Farm Bureau and the county
agent.
3. That we strongly endorse the
cooperative marketing Of cotton
and other farm products as outlined
in the plans Of the Farm Bureau
Department, together with any other
similar system that will enable the
farmer to secure the highest possible
returns for everything that he may
have to SELL
4. That we do not approve, how
ever, of the methods which the
United Farmers Of America are re-
ported to be using in the sale Of
trade memberships to merchants and
business men and, desiring to be fair
to our farmer friends, as well as to
ourselves, we appoint a special COM
mittee to investigate this feature Of
the organization, and that the Gov
ington Business Mems Club shall act
as unit in the matter, each one
here agreeing that he will not pur-
chase or receive a trade member
ship unless it bears the approval and
of this special commit
tee Be it further
Resolved, That this committee
shall have referred to it any matter
to the purchase Of trade
for any merchant or
business man of this club, and said
committee shall give a courteous and
respectful hearing to any application
Or proposal from the United Farm
ers of America.
