ONLY 1000 BALES
PLEDGED IN TERRELL
COUNTY FAR BEHIND WITH
QUOTA, WITH ONLY FOUR
DAYS LEFT TO FINISH.

County Organizer R. E. Buchanan,
of the Georgia Cotton Growers Co.
Operative Marketing Association, re-
ports very disappointing results i'll
Terrell county in the contract sign-up
during the past week. Less than 1000
of the county's quota of 5000 bales
have been signed, despite the fact that
the movement has been endorsed by
the Dawson banks and a number of
her leading citizens and cotton raisers,
all of whom are anxious for the asso-
citation to be set up.
Lack of information, Mr.. Buchanan
believes, accounts for the Indifferent
attitude of the farmers. This organiza-
ton, he states, is unlike any other
farm organization ever attempted. In
stead of organizing the farmer, the
community is being organized to at
feet the market and stabilize the price
of same. 1t is no cotton holding move
ment, but the association proposes to
sell the cotton of its members in an
orderly way and as the market calls
for it, instead of forcing it on the
market in a very short period
The association is composed entire
ly of growers and renters, who receive
cotton for rent This feature comply
ing with the u. S. government law
passed by congress recently and in
troduced by Messrs. Capper and Vol
stead. 1t is under the direction of
board of directors, elected by its mem
bers all of whom must have cotton
in the pool before they can serve.
Similar associations are either being
organized or have been organized by
every cotton state in the union. Spe-
cial laws have been enacted by the
state legislatures to enable the farm
ers to organize these commodity sales
organizations in addition to the one
passed by congress. These associa-
tions and their contracts have been
approved by:
The u. S. department OF agriculture,
the state department of agriculture
the Federal Trade Commission, the
Federal Reserve Bank, the War FL
nance Corporation (who offered 20
millions of dollars to the associations.
of Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi and
Arizona to advance to their members
at 512 per cent interest during the
past season..
The bankers associations in every
state where organized and by every
farm organization in the United
States. According to last reports about
10000 bales are needed to secure the
states quota OF 100000 bales and fal
ure will only come through the fail
ure of Georgia cotton growers to do
their individual duty, says Mr.. Buch-
anan Terrell county's share is 5000
bales, and only four more days remain
to sign the contracts and take step
forward or not sign and remain in
the old rut that has meant hard times
and a low standard of living on the
farm for the past fifty years.
