resolutions at their last meeting en-.

dorsing the movement and pleGging
all assistance in putting it across.
In statement given out by the as
sociation, it says:
Farmers everywhere are organiz-
ing to conduct their marketing busi-
ness in systematic manner on the
same plan as is being followed by the
South Carolina Cotton Growers CO.
operative Association.
AT the present time more than
sixty associations of growers in 20
states have been formed or are now
being organized. The number of mem
bers in these associations exceeds 4OO,-
900 farmers and the volume of bust
ness done by them in 1921 lacked only
a little of being half billion dollars.
Through the cooperative pooling
movement farmers in every section
Of the country are taking their right
full place in the business world.
"The South Carolina cotton pool
plan enables the farmer to go all the
way to the market with his product,
and in this trip save vast sum tha.
heretofore has been lost to him thru
speculative profits and unnecessary
handling cost.
THAT the South Carolina cotton
pool plan is sound and workable is
being proved in a conclusive manner
by everyone of these Cooperative as
sociations, which has begun TO handle
the crop. There are three outstandi ny
features of every one of these or
ganizations.
First; longtime, legally binding
contract. This makes the members
stick" and assures the associatioil
that it will have cotton to sell over =
period of years sufficient TO enable
it to establish satisfactory trade re
lations and justify adequate arrange
ments for transacting the business.
Second; the one hundred per cynt
compulsory pool. In the pool all the
product is handled for sale in even
running lots according to quality and
variety. All growers delivering the
same kind of cotton receive exactly
the same price. Every member re-
ceives the average price at which the
product of that kind and quality is
sold. This makes possible orderly
marketing throughout the year in &C
cordance with market demands.
"Third, the non-proft, non-stockt
feature and the exclusive grower
membership. This insures a colnplclc
harmony o. interest, absolute fair
ness and equality in the handling of
the business of each member, and it
is a guarantee against outside inter
eSts ever gaining control of the or
ganization and exploiting it for their
own gain.
That the South Carolina cotton pool
plan is sound from financial stand
point is clearly proved by the fact
that the bankers are doing business
win thcsv associations wherever they
are in operation. Banks of Oklahoma
extended the state cotton association
credit of upwards of two million
dollars last year. Banks in Texas
were also ready to loan their associa-
ton several million dollars. The War
Finance Corporation extended a loan
OF $26,O00,0O0 to three cotton asso-
ciations.'

MARKETING
is SURE TO COME

Columbia, Mar. Farmers of
South Carolina are going to sell their
1922 crop of cotton comparatively.
Ihe tremendous enthusiasm with
which the campaign for signatures to
the contract is being pushed in almost
every county in the state indicates
that the 100000 bales must be Sign
ed by May z. 1922 to make the con-
tract operative will be easily forth
coming. In only very few of the
counties has there been any delay In
the, campaign and these counties are
expected to be in line within the next
ten days.
The contracts are being signed by
large and small farmers alike. The
largest contract received at the Of
fices of the South Carolina Cotton Co
operative Association here to date is
for 5000 bales. The smallest is for
one bale. Incidentally it might be said
that several of the latter have been
received. Those who are pushing the
campaign say that the benefits deriv-
ed by the large and the small farmer
Will be the same in proportion.
The bankers and business inter.
ests of the state are lining up strong.
ly behind the movement. They take
the position that it offers the greatest
hope for future prosperity for the
farmer and it has been pretty thor
oughly demonstrated in the past two
years that the prosperity of the state
is dependent upon the prosperity of
the farmers. Many of the larges5 and
ablest bankers in the state have studi-
ed the plan from every angle and
have investigated the workings of the
associations already functioning in
other states. They express complete
satisfaction with the plan in its every
detail and are working to put the
movemnt across.
In Sumter county the bankers have
gone out in the county making
speeches In behalf of the campaign.
Z. &. Rowland, president Of the Nat
ional Bank of Sumter, thinks that
every bank in the state should get
busy and assist in every way to put
1t across. j. Pope Matthews, president
OF the Palmetto National Bank of Co
lumbia, says that he thinks the Or
ganization of the association us one
OF the best business propositions the
farmers of the state should undterake
at this time" and adds, Il do not
know of anything that would be more
productive of good results" Mr.. Mat
thews has studied the plan from every
angle. Bright Williamson, of Darling
ton, is another banker, who is jend-
ing his time and ability and energies
to putting the movement across. Mr..
williamson probably knows as much
about cooperative marketing as any
man in South Carolina and he is con-
vlnced that it is the farmers hope.
The movement has been endorsed
by the executive council and the agri-
cultural committee of the South Caro-
lima Bankers Association and four
of the seven district groups. 1t has
been strongly endorsed twice by the
General Assembly and many Of the
leading farmers in that body have al
ready signed contracts. 1t has been
endorsed by the State Fair Society
and many chambers of commerce and
other civic organizations. The agri-
cultural bureau of the Greenv;lle
Chamber of Commerce passed strong

SEEK SEEK AGREEMENT |
On BONUS VOTE
Compensation Measure To
Be Taken Up BY the
... Senate Wednesday
fnv The Associated Press,

M+r -
Washington, Aug. 22.-Senate Re-
publican leaders continued negotia-
tions Monday for IN unanimous con-
sent agreement for a final senate vote
on the soldiers bonus bill. but ap-
parently with little prospect Of i'm
mediate success. Some progress was
reported, but 1t was understood that
four or five senators objected to an
agreement at this time.
The bonus Is the senate's
unfinished business and will be taken
mp after the senate reconvenes We'd
nesday. Chairman McCumber of the
finance committee. plans to deliver a
prepared address at that time IN
support of 1t and some majority lead
ers eaid that unless there was an
agreement meantime for a time for
the final vote, the legislation would
have to be fought rou to q finish on
the floor.
Estimates as to the time which
would be required to pass the meas
varied, but it appeared that 1t might
require several weeks. Several sub
stttute measures have been proposed.
and in addition, many amendments
to the committee draft are promised.
All of these are expected to lead to
more or Less prolonged discussion.
After the bonus is passed by the
senate-and the general belief at tho
capital is that it will go through fin
ally by a substantial majority--it
would in the usual course, be sent to
conference for the composing Of diff
f~erences between the senate and the
house. In that event it would be
handled by the same conference COM
mittee to which the tariff measure
will be referred this week with little
prospect that it would receive atten-
ton until after the committee had
completed its work on the tariff.
