ers, cotton factors and cotton ex-
porters?
Not only can do it, but is doing it.
The Georgia association has its
own agents at Charlotte, Greenville
and Spartanburg, selling at the best
prices direct to Carolina mills; it has
its own office and its own agent in
Boston, selling direct to New Eng
land mills.
Further, it has its own offices and
its own agents in Brennan, Havre and
Liverpool, selling cotton direct from
Georgia farmers to German, French
and English spinners.
An Inspiring Fact
know of no more inspiring de-
velopment in this century than that
which gives US Uncle Reuben Smith,
Of Pike county, Georgia, sitting
across the table from the American
British, French and Georman mill
owner, and debating with him the
price of his cotton, instead of humbly
taking whatever the curb buyer in
his home town was willing to offer.

the cost of his crop and fair and

% Cents in North Georgia
Now. few weeks after the taking
of these records of cotton sales in
south Georgia towns was begun, rec
ords under similar conditions We're
being taken in north Georgia towns.
They are on file with the co-opera-
tive association and they show that
the non-member producers in North
Georgia of seven-eights staple low
middling cotton have averaged %
cents a pound for their product.
THIS is Sil0 bale.
South Georgia farmers, selling un-
der the old plan (you can't call it
system, for there is no system to it,
to the curb buyers, averaged S95 a
bale for their cotton. North Georgia
farmers averaged $ll0 a bale.
Yet every bale of even-eights-inch
low middling sold by the Georgia
Cotton Growers Cooperative associa-
tion for its members has netted more
than 25 cents pound over all ex-
penses; SIPS a bale, as compared with
$95 bale.
1t is not for this chronicler to tell
how much of its members cotton the
Georgia association has sold thus far.
That is the associations own parti-
cular and private business. 1t may
be said. however, that no larger part
of its has been disposed OF.
Ninety-fve per cent of Georgia's S
crop this year has been gathered and
of that am ount-with the exception

Peak Prices For Their Cotton
Bulk of Cotton Produced This Year b. Independent Planters
Has Averaged Only 81 Cens-AIembers of the Marketing
Association Are Getting 25 Cents Now-They Are
About the Only Ones Proftng by Big Rise

With the price Of cotton fluctuating
around 26 cents, there IS oaly one
group of Union farmers who vii. put
into their pockets and thence into
circulation the $50 to $50 a bale IN
crease in value that-'has come since
they gathered their crop in August,
September and early October.
The fortunate group consists OF the
! members of the Narth Carolina Cot
ton Growers Cooperative Associa-
ton. 1t numbers two or three hun
dred "dirt farmers" in this county
and they have produced this year
something like l,500 bales.
Here and there are scattered in
dividuals, of course, who had the
business sense to hold their cotton
for few weeks till the great ma
jority of tllers of the soil had dump
ed theirs into the market, and who
in addition to having that business
acumen were fortunately in a posi-
tion to hold.
Let's visualize for a moment with
Edwin Camp in the Atlantic Journal
just what the cooperative marketing
association has accomplished for its
members on the basis of today's
cotton price.
Averaged l9 Cents
In certain towns in south Georgia
counties where there were consider
able numbers of members of the CO.
operative association pledged to de-
liver their cotton to the association,
the association arranged with bank
ers or merchants or others in advant-
ageous position to record privately
the sale of all cotton by famers to
buyers from the time cotton began
to come in late in July. These sales,
of course, were by non-members.
Figures in the keeping of the associ-
alton show that these non-member
farmers in these south Georgia coun-
ties averages lS cents pound on
the basis of low middling cotton of
seven-eights inch staple.
Just 10 cents, mind you! Only $95
bale.
The cotton came in early. They
beat the weevil in south Georgia by
planting early, growing quick, and
this year they had fine weather
But the cotton went to market and
into the hands of commercial buyers
at the time when cotton was bringing
its lowest price for the season.
Why was cotton at its lowest at
this time? The trade will tell you
there were various reasons. For one
thing, it was then expected the
American crop would be larger than
subsequent estimates indicate. Then
there were foreign disorders which
had an unsettling effect. But evely
year it is the same thing. Cotton
is always lower at the time the gen
eral run of farmers have to sell than
at other times. OF course, there are

 Rudolph Nelson played very strong defensive game for the loe4i team this season, and with Merton Ames, Chandler Morse, CT Bill Me Coy. made an unusually strong de. fensive combination.

 Second Team Wins n Games
 The P. H. s. second team played IT.. games-won seven, tied one, and lost three. The total points scored by the scrubs was ITS, to the IA tallies of their opponents.
 Considerable promising material for future years has been uncovered in the scrub teams this season. The sue cess of the first team is in great part due to the efforts of the second string men in playing against the reg ulars in practice and in working throughout the season without any visible signs of reward
 Financially. the season just ended has been a record-breaker
 Among the heavy expenses of the past season was the entire re-equip- ment of the team. amounting to over SI0O In addition to this the manage ment installed set of four-tier bleachers nearly the length of the gym, under the balcony. and repadded the walls of the gymnasium, which were in such poor condition as to seri- ously endanger the players. Both of these improvements were paid for en- tirely by the Athletic Association, and besides filling a long-felt want at the present time. they are a permanent addition to the building and will be used great deal in the future
 Receipts Total $477.90
 The total gate receipts were s477 90 With this money all bills of the cur rent season have been settled, and also over s70 of long standing bills were paid. \ balance of about S25 remains, which will be turned over to the baseball team.
 The management was greatly assist ed in it's advertising by the help of the Victory and Bradley Theatres and also through the columns of the Put nam Patriot and the Observer
 Altogether, 1t has been a very sue cessful season for the local school, both financially and in the result of the teams athletic accomplishments This is due to the whole-hearted work and cooperation of the players with the coaches, Mir Snow and Mir. South ey, and to the fighting spirit which has carried so many Putnam High school teams through to hard and well-earned victories.
