Street plans were Immediately made
by property owners to improve and
beautify their individual grounds.

Georgia cotton growers organizing the Georgia
Cotton Growers Cooperative Association.

year. enforceable contract, compulsory pooling, COM
modify marketing rather than locality marketing,
elusive membership of cotton growers only, large vol
ume of business, and the employment of experts to
grade class and sell the cotton.
The plan and contract are identical with those of
eight other Southern statewide associations.
Typical of the success of the plan in other parts of
the South is the fact that member of the Texas
association gained average of between $3.50 and
5000 each last year
The minimum quota has been established 200,-
900 bales for Georgia by the first day of April.
Texas has already pooled more than 100000; Okla
homa 400 600; Mississippi 100000; Arizona 50000
North Carolina 100000; Arkansas 100000.
The Georgia cotton pool will not fai--t cannot
fa-because the farmers of Georgia will not let it
fail
The success of the movement in six other states
stands out like challenge to Georgia, and Georgia
accepts the challenge.
