CO OPERATIVE MARKETING OF
COTTON AND|TS GREAT GROWTH

OF most OF the Southern cotton states
and the result OF the convention was
the drafting of the contract for the
American Cotton Growers Exchange
in preliminary form, subject to the
approval Of the state organizations.
The States Approve
This contract having been approved
by the various state boards, anoth-
er convention was called for Mem-
phis on Aug. 1 and the organization
of the exchange completed. with Carl
Williams as president and &, q.
Moser as secretary and with Williams
of Oklahoma, Orr Of Texas president
of the Texas Cotton Growers agsoei,L-
tion), Bledsoe Of Mississippi, and "'e-
vens Of Arizona as the executive
committee.
When fully completed and opera
tive the American Cotton Grow
exchange will comprise II great de-
| partments. each headed by the best
man possible to secure, a high grade
| expert in his particular line. For
this year the only departments that
have been organized and are func-
tioning are the legal and the field
service departments and these de-
partments are doing yeoman services
in completing the organization Of
| the as yet unorganiZed states.
North Carolina has completed her
| organization, Georgia, South Caro-
lima and Arkansas are moving rapid
ly to completion Of their signups.
Alabama and other states are getting
under way, all assisted by the ma
tional organization.
Some Prophecy
Prophecy is risky business, and yet
| prophecy, based on past experience,
| plus what should happen in order to
free the cotton industry fromy the
many abuses under which IT has OLE
ways labored may be cautiously un-
| dertaken
A year ago today the idea that
cooperative marketing could be suc-
cessfully applied to cotton was an
idea held by comparatively few peo-
pie. Today we have five great state
organizations and the national or
ganization functioning.
All Of the state organizations have
been successful beyond the Widest
dreams of their founders, The na-
tional organization. in addition 20
helping complete the remaining state
associations. was almost entirely i'm
strumental in securing the passage
of the agricultural credits bill Under
which the war finance corporation
has financed the cotton associations
and many other agricultural inter-
ests.
1t is therefore probably safe to say
that before another ginning season
rolls around there will be enough
state organizations OF sufficient
membership, all affiliated in the ex-
change, to control the sale Of prob
ably a majority Of all cotton pro-
duced in America, or at least of a
sufficient amount 10 be the deter

Jockey has ever had at the New Or
