MORE MONEY FOR
THE COTTON CROP
MASS MEETING WILL BE HELD
IN DAWSON ON THURSDAY
AFTERNOON, MAR. 2ND.
SIX STATES HAVE ORGANIZED
Prominent Farmers and Citizens Urge
Large Attendance. w. c. Lassetter,
OF North Carolina, Will Speak, and
Explain California Plan.

On Thursday, March End, at 2:30
D. M, in the court house at Dawson,
the people of Terrell county are to be
gwen an opportunity to discuss the is
sues of the campaign for the cooper
alive marketing OF cotton, and hear
an able speaker tell the story of how
the Texas and Oklahoma farmers
marketed their cotton crop under this
plan last year. From the knowledge
we all have of the success OF cooper
alive marketing by the farmers of Cal
iornia and other western states, as 1t
has been told to us in the newspapers
and the farm papers, we should GER
tainly be interested in investigating
how practical these principles would
be as applied to cotton, which is our
main cash crop.
Moreover, it is our opinion that we
owe it to the the prominent Geor-
gians. many of them cotton farmers,
who have been devoting their time and
efforts for months, as members OF the
organization, to place the merits OF
this proposition squaleiY before the
farmers of the state Every farmer who
comes to this meeting VIII not only
help himself to make a decision, but
will help just that much towards keep
ing down the expenses OF placing the
consideration of this important matter
before our whole community.
w. c. Lassetter, editor OF the Pro-
gressive Farmer, Raleigh, n. c., will
be the principal speaker.
L., / m
behalf of the Georgia Cotton Grow
.ers' COOPERATIVE Association, which
aims to pool more than 100000 bales
before April LIST. This will be the first
opportunity that people OF this section
of the state have had to hear this
prominent editor. He will tell the in
iteresting story of how the Texas cot
ton growers are gaining from $40 to
SIS on every bale of cotton they mark
Jet comparatively on the so-called Cal
ifornia" plan.
Cooperative marketing associations
in the south will market $200,000,O 600
worth of cotton in 1922 through the
national organization. There are more
than $4,000 growers who have signed
! legally binding contracts Tor five years
or more. Cotton marketing organiza-
tons have already been completed IN
six states-Texas, Oklahoma, Missis-
sippi, Arizona, Arkansas and North
Carolina-while campaigns are now
being conducted in Georgia, Alabama
and South Carolina.
The question of the farmer getting
living price and fair profit Tor his
cotton crop affects not only the grow
er of this great staple, but materially
concerns the banker, the merchant and
the business or professional man in
any line. If we do not keep pace with
other states in modern methods OF
marketing we will have no one but
ourselves to blame if our farm prod
ucts do not bring the cost OF produc-
ton. We trust, therefore, that you will
be present, urge your neighbors to
come and help greet the visiting speak
er in our home county with repre-
sentative audience.

Say Laws Governing Headlights Bear on Upkeep of Battery

So far as is known, there have as yet been no laws governing the care and operation of storage batteries ' says MT. Wright, Willard Service Sta tion dealer, "but we make no predic- tions as to the future. Some of the headlight laws in force right now come so near to affecting the battery that We can hardly say we've been neglected"
 Half a dozen or more states have already passed laws specifying just how the car owner shall ''let his light shine and legislatures of other states are repidly following their ex- ample
 Since these laws not only specify that the glare must be reduced but that the illumination of the road must be maintained they have direct bear ing on the battery. The battery as well as the lamps and reflectors must be "up to the scratch" to keep the driver out of the clutches of the po- lice court.
 Referring to intensity of light, the Ohio law, for example, specifics that the projected beam of light measured at distance of 200 feet in front of the car shall measure mot less than 4S00 apparent candle power" In or der to comply with this section of the new law it is of course necessary to have clean refledtOrs. efficient lamps and in addition, well charged batteries that deliver current at their normal voltage

Failure to Start Car May Result From Any Number
 of Wrong Conditions

An aggravating condition is expert enced when ones motor fails to re- spond to the starter. And it is sheer folly to try to overcome the trouble by running the battery down, says Frank Thayer of Lowell. Failure to start may be due to a number of con ditions; however these may be classi- fled in four main groups: Carburetion Ignition, Mechanical and Electrical If the starter will function and the engine fails to start, the latter source may be eliminated.
