"To The Public: We are now pass

"Many changes are taking place
in our industrial, commercial and
agricultural life,
"Our country must get down to
real business and learn how to save

MANY wasteful methods in all
lines of activity in our past must DC
eliminated.
Il wish to call attention to the
fact that the State of Georgia IN the

state.
1T is true our state has many re
sources other than farming, but II
must be borne in mind that our tim

for the State of Georgia. Let us do
our best in production, and let us
exercise the utmost care in the mat
ter of marketing.
Cone of Georgia's greatest bene-
factors is the man, or group of men,
who produces an article that the
whole world needs and must have;
and | know of no man, or set of men,
who reaches to the remotest parts Of
the earth as the cotton farmer does.
"The cotton farmer touches every
quarter of the civilized world, but at
that the cotton farmer has never had
a voice IN determiaiaa the value Of
this most universally needed and
universally used article, and it is on
this subject that | wish to talk to
the citizens of the State of Georgia,
and to the farmers in particular.
"The question of getting the right
price, and a profitable price, for cot
ton to the farmers of our state, as
well as to the citizens of our COM
monwealth, is not an individual prob
lem, and it cannot be solved by the
individual marketing system.
individual selling of cotton only
allows speculation and gambling to
creep in, and demoralizes our mar
kets and our prices.
81 have studied the question from
many angles, and have become thor
oughly convinced that our only hope
for stabilized market and profita-
bic price for the farmers and citizens
of our state lies in the cooperative
marketing associations for cotton.
1T is true that we may not produce
so much cotton in the future as we
have in the past, but the ravages of
the boil weevi and the uncertainty
of gambling and speeulating in cot
ton make it doubly important and
necessary that. the farmers have
stabilized market and fair price. |
wish, therefore, to call attention to
the movement, in Georgia and in the
South, to form the Cotton Growers
Cooperative associations.
II believe it the right move in the
right direction, and | further believe
it to be the plain duty of every citi-
zen who loves Georgia and the South
to put his shoulder TO the wheel and
help in this great movement that Will
restore the buying power OF the far
mers, and bring prosperity to. our
state
Il am acquainted with the person
mel of the men behind this movement,
and know them to be of the highest
type citizens of the state.
Il want to admonish every farmer
who expects to grow bale of cotton
in 1922 to study this association and
movement carefully, and when ne has
made up his mind, as | have, to then
sign the contract and put Georgia
| in the proper light with the other
Southern states in the movement to
get a fair price for our principal
product.
