tive marketing, the eminently

tied studies caused varying
views.
In 1913 this comprehensive
study was made for the first time
by Aaron Sapiro, a California
lawyer and economist, who had
been attorney fer the state mar
keting bureau and who through
this work had become intensely
interested in cooperative mar
keting as a means of bringing
about a better economic condi-
ton among farmers, and thus
bcnefiting the entire social and
financial structure.
He made a careful study of
the Danish system Of co-opera-
tive marketing and other Euro
pcan methods. He studied at
first hand all the California CO.
operatives, the greatest develop
ment of the cooperative idea in
America having occurred in
that state. By careful analysis
Of the results attained and by
comparison of the experience of
the various organizations, he
found that:

Pooling

Pooling is one of the most i'm
portant features of the opera
ton of cooperative marketing
associations. Pooling is on the
basis of determined periods OF
time for products of continuous
production type, and for a year
on annual crops. Pooling means
that the product of each men,
Der, of identical quality with
the products of other members,
is pooled or mingled for the pur-
pose of sale, and that payment
is made on the basis of the guam
tity and quality delivered. Thus
each producer receives the aver
age price secured by the asso-
citation for each grade or quail
ity of products he, delivers, his
share of the proceeds of each
pool being determined by the
proportion his product in that
pool bears to the total amount
in the pool.
This system automatically
pays a premium for the pro
duction OF superior article,
and penalties inferior produc-
ton. Under the individual sys-
tenn the producer is generally
unable to secure premium for
producing a superior quality,
for the reason that his produC-
ton is too small to command at
tention.
Under the pooling system of
the co-operatives, a small
amount of high quality prod
uct is pooled with similar high
grade products from other mem
er-producers, forming a large
enough lot Of the same quality
to command attention and to Sc
cure its actual value. Pooling
is always employed where a
basis of grading can be deter
mined.
Expert Service
The employment of experts of
the best type, for the handling,
grading, and marketing Of the
commodity, and for perform
ing every service necessary, is
a final essential to success in
cooperative marketing.
These business organizations
Of farmers demand, and obtain,

ed men in the field Of distribu-
ton and marketing, to serve the
membership.
Working for the producer is
one of the most interesting
fields Of service in which an
expert of any type may engage,
and it has been demonstrated
many times that the business
of cooperative marketing can
and does command the serv.
ices Of just as good men as
any other type of business, and
receives the same or even great
er loyalty.
Operatives can afford to pay
as much for expert service as
any other form of business or

ty handled, but so fascinating is

The Result

The result has been crafty
ing, not only to the author of
the contract and plan, but to all
students of progress and eco
nomics, and particularly to
hundreds of thousands of farm
ers who have been seeking a
way out Of the maze of distri-
button and marketing prob
lens.
Upward of a hundred differ
ent organizations have been
perfected on this plan. More
than half of them have func-
toned on the next crop, having
been newly organized. On or
ganization perfected under this
plan, with sufficient volume of
business, and with proper per-
sonnet to handle it's problems
will not fail. The germs of
success are in it, and causes of
failures have been left out.

LETTERS THREATEN
ALLEGED WITNESS
Of RECTOR SLAY|NG

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j.. Oct
30.-For several hours Saturday, the
newest character in the mysterious
deaths of the Rev. Edward Wheeler
Hall and the choir singer, Mrs.
Eleanor Rcinhardt Mills, stepped
loft the stage on which the drama
is being played.
Mrs. Jane Gibson, a farmerwom
an and a raiser of pigs, who told
of having seen the murder of the
rector and the sections wife, dis
appeared from her barricaded home
today. Then, as mysteriOusly as she
had left, she reappeared, but Of
fercd no explanation of where she
he'd been.
Guards who had been thrown
about the Gibson home were taken
off. Dogs which prevented intru-
sion were tied. William Gibson, the
son of the farmer-woman, showed
reporters through the house, but
would not say where his mother
had gone.
On her return it became known
that the woman in whose story

Mott is still inclined to place a de-
gree of credence. has received
threatening letters since telling IL

tence of the letters, Mrs. Gibso1
said
Timothy N. Pfeiffer, counsel for
Mrs. Hall, today recalled early de-
Velopments in the case, when he
admitted that the telephone call
the Rev. Mr.. Hall received on the
night Of the murder was from
Mrs. Mills. The subject of the con.
versation over the wire, he said,
was the payment of the medical
bills owed by the sections wife.
HAS Mrs. Hall established an
alibi?" Mr.. Pfeiffer was asked.
1--WE are not interested in estab-
fishing an alibi," he answered.
I'm spite of all that has been
published, has Mrs. Hall still con-
fidence in her husband"
You cannot be too strong on
that point" he said.

Mills?"
I'VE have no proof as to whether
they are genuine" Mr.. Pfeiffer
said.
Whether the case, as it stands,
was ready for presentation to the
special grand jury which is be-
lieved to be called for Monday, was
not announced.

BILLION DOLLAR BUG

WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass, Oct.
2S.-In view of the sensational re-
ports relative to conditions in the
south, especially due to the boil
weevil, Roger w. Babson has been
asked to make an analysis of the
southern situation as it now appears
from the viewpoint of a statistician.
Mr.. Babson's statement is as fol-
lows:
I'm the so-called cotton belt
which stretches across many of the
southern states, is produced 60 per
cent of the worlds supply of cot
ton. In fact, this cotton crop has
been so important that the south
has practically given it's entire at
tention to cotton and thus become 6
'one-crop' country. The boll-weevil
is now destroying a large percentage
of this cotton crop, so that in many
sections only one bale of cotton is
gathered where two were originally
produced. Of course, great efforts
are being made to control the boil
Weevil, and science will ultimately
find a solution to this problem. In
the meantime, however, there are
several factors to be considered.
First, our supply of cotton will
be greatly reduced until this weevll
is controlled. The amount produced
for the next few years may not be
more than half of the requirements
of former years. This means that
high prices may be expected both for
law cotton and for all manufactured
cotton goods for some time to come.
Secondly, the south. which has
been a 'one-crop' country, will be
forced to raise other crops and be-
come at least self-supporting. In
previous years the south has I'M
ported from the Middle West nearly
all the corn and large proportion
of the meat which it has consumed.
This year the south has raised suf-
ficient corn for it's own use. 1t is
also successfully Kidding itself Of the
tick which is so detrimental to rails
ing good cattle. Herds of fine stock
are rapidly increasing. and the south,
which has an ideal climate for all
year stock grazing, should soon be
one of the most important stock rails
ing sections of the country. This
means that the Middle West will
have a serious competitor in cora
and stock raising.
THE third factor to consider is
that the south will steadily increase
its manufacture of cotton into fin
ished goods. Already it is shipping
large quantities of these manutac-
Atlanta tri-weekly journal. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1920-19??, 1922-10-31

tured cotton goods into the north
ern states. These southern mills
can produce very economically and
are at the source of the raw ma
terials. This means that the cotton
mills of the eastern states will have
serious competition. Owing to the
present immigration restrictions,
these northern mills will soon be
greatly handicapped as to labor sup
ply which fact should also aid the
south.
"a fourth factor is that the south
ern farmers are employing less labor
on their farms than under previous
conditions, many of them reducing
labor one-half. The reason is that
the farmers are planting a larger
acreage in corn, hay and other crops
and less acreage in cotton. These
other crops require less labor to
work than cotton does. Today there
is a very considerable unemploy-
ment Of farm labor in the south.
This means that there will be ample
labor for cotton mills and other
forms of manufacturing and for the
development of natural resources.
Fifth and finally, the south is
l alizing it's need of effort strug-
gle in order to hold its economic po-
sition. The boil weevil is forcing
upon it. new economic condition
which it is now bravely struggling
to meet. / believe it has the will to
meet these new conditions, but it
needs capital. The south has large
undeVeloped resources. 1t has coal,
mineral deposits, and Waterpowers.
Its seaport cities have good harbors
which are strategically located for
mmerce with Latin America and
southern Europe. Thus, as the south
more fully realizes and grasps the
opportunities which it holds, it will
grow and develop rapidly into COM
mercial Importance. This means that
during the next few years the south
will offer many very attractive OPP
portunities for the investor Just
as present the south is hard hit by
the boil weevil, but this very fact
is bringing it to a realization of its
needs and opportunities. Thus. with
in few years, a new economic con-
dition should be established and the
south should be more prosperous
than at any time in the past"
+
The Babsonchart index dropped
off one point this week, standing
now at 4 per cent below normal.
This recession, however, has no es-
pecial significance. Further advance
should be expected during the COM
ing month.

DEMOCRATIC PARTY
NATIONAL CHAIRMAN
SEES SURE VICTORY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O.-Cordcil
Hull, chairman of the Democratic
national committee declared last
night in a forecast of the senatorial
and congressional elections that "a
Democratic victory is now assured
at the elections November Z.
"The only question Of doubt re-
naming" Chairman Hulls state
ment added, sis the extent Of the
victory. Practically every section
Of the United States will contribute
share of that victory, and every
class of voter will be largely repre-
scented among the Victors."
Referring to reports of so-called
apathy among voters, Mr.. Hull as
serted this was due to the fact
that the great mascot voters have
already made up their minds def
initely and finally" and had decided
ITO rebuke the Republican party for
it's failure to keep it's election prom
ises."
Declaring the question had been
whether Republicans would stay
away from the polls cor turn to the
Democratic party for relief" Mr..
Hull added:
eff the stay-at-home Republican
vote should be larger than antici-
pated by Democrats there will never
the less be a very substantial Demo.
cratic victory.
eff on the other hand the pres
ent tendency of Republicans in re-
volt to actively support the Demo
cratic ticket is general there is rea-
son to believe that the Demo
cratic party on Tuesday, November
Z will register one of the most
sweeping victories it has had in any
mid-election.
''At this time I do not hesitate to
assert that every indication is the
Democratic victory will be larger

inside really believe their victory

POLICEMAN SLAIN
III MOTOR CAR WITH
DIVORCED WOMAN

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Oct. 30
Whether Aubrey II. Thomas, hand
some Memphis policeman, was MUIR
dered by a jealous rival-a woman
or by a negro bandit who surprised
him here last night in an automo-
bile with Zelda Foster, beautiful di-
vorcee, were questions Memphis
police were attempting to solve to-
day.
Thomas was shot through thu
heart as he was keep tryst with
Mrs. Foster at a lonely spot near the
city limits.
Mrs. Foster is held at police head,
quarters following several hours
questioning last night. She told In
spector Griffin a negro bandit had
shot the policeman as they sat in
the officers automobile beside the
road.
81 fled in terror from the scena
to- my home" Mrs. Foster said.
That police are inclined to doubt
Mrs. Fosters version of the shoot
ing is shown by the fact that they
rounded up several men, said to
have been on intimate terms with
the Divorce, for questioning.
Thomas was found sitting upright
in his car shortly after a woman
had excitedly telephoned police sta
ton that a man had been killed. Of
ficers rushed to the scene and found
the patrolman, his clothing disar-
ranged, dead. A bullet had struck
his shoulder blade, and glanced
downward, penetrating his heart.
Mrs. Foster, taken into custody a
short time later, admitted she had
given the alarm and that she was
in the car with Thomas. She said
she had been on friendly terms with
Thomas for some time.
Thomas was married and had a
ten-year-old daughter.
