Trying to Worry EN-.
"Some of the cotton buyers in the
county" remarked n prominent farmer
the other day, who is member of the
South Carolina Cooperative Cotton
Growers association, "are trying to
worry we farmers who have signed
cooperative contract and doing
what they can to make some of us
dissatisfied. Among other things they
are telling that the association will
pay out all the profits to officials and
that furthermore the flve-year cotton
contract we have signed has many
IooLholes in it. OF course this propa-
ganda is all bunk put out by some of
the buyers who are beginning to see
the handwriting on the wall. A well
known farmer figured it out the other
day that there are about forty buyers
in York county and that their annual
commissions from the crop of York
county total about 100000. Wherever
1 hear farmers repeating the pessi-
mistic dope that is being put out by
some of the buyers tell them that it
won't be bit worse for association Of
ficials to get this good graft than it is
to give it to the buyers. And I be-
lieve that as a result Of the Coopera-
tive Marketing association all of the
farmers, whether they are members or
not, are going 10 get more money for
their cotton in future than they did in
the past. The buyers are fully aware
of the fact also, whether they will ad-
nit it or not"
