Rock Hill, July PA group of
Southern bankers have offered to loan
the South Carolina Cooperative Mar
keting Association the sum Of $3,00O,-
900 to be used by the association in
marketing the South Carolina Cotton
crop of 1922, according to DR.. j. B.
Johnson Of Rock Hill, president Of the
South Carolina Cotton Association.
This is in addition to a loan of s1O,-
100000 announced some time ago by
the War Finance Board. According to
DR.. Johnson, this group of bankers
wanted to make the loan $4,000, 900 in
stead of $3OO0,OOO but officials of the
association finally prevailed on them
to make the loan the smaller amount
since the greater is not now wanted.
On basis Of last years crop about
225,O00 bales of South Carolina cotton
will be handled through the Coopera-
tive Marketing Association according
to President Johnson. The association
membership in the state now totals
more than 10000. Many members of
the association who have cotton of
the 1921 crop on hand are anxious for
the association to take this cotton over
and market it along with the cotton to
come in the fall; but this the asso-
citation has declined to do. President
Johnson said that the machinery of
the association was being rapidly put
in. good working order. One of the
big problems now being worked out is
that relative to the warehousing of
cotton of association members. Ware
house owners have been prompt to Of
fer their warehouses for the use of the
association at most reasonable rates.
Several concentration points for the
warehousing Of cotton of the associa-
tion are to be selected in the near fu-
ture. The association officials are we'll
pleased with the sales and business Or
ganization that they have perfected so
far and up to this time nothing has
occurred to create the impression that
there will be the slightest hitch in the
programme Of the great marketing Or
