COOPERATIVE COTTON MARKET
ING.

in few days the farmers Of our
county will have the opportunity to
join the Cotton Growers Marketing
Association, the object of which they
will be told is the obtaining Of better
prices for their product.
Now as better prices is what we
all desire, and as some Of our farm
ers seem 30 positive that this organ
ization will accomplish its purpose
let us endeavour to find out for our
selves if they are right, and if they
are then join with them so that we
too may be benefited.
In Texas they began marketing
cotton through their association sew
eral months ago, and they state that
members are getting about ten dol
lars per bale more than outsiders.
Yet what the actual profit will be can
only be told at the end of the season
When final settlement will be made.
Their statement of what results so
fir have been is interesting.
But much more conclusive evidence
Of what we may expect is furnished
by an Investigation begun by the Blu
reau OF Markets Of the Department.
of Agriculture in 1916. Ample time
was taken, and nothing was left un-
done to make the investigation
thorough. The object was done to
determine the difference between the
price the farmer got for his cotton,
and the price the mill paid to the
cotton factor. After more than two
years of study bulletin was issued,
and we would be glad if all our farm
ers would send for it.
Arrangements were made with
a number of large and small mills
to furnish the bureau with samples
from bales they purchased, together
with the date when bought and the
price paid. The samples were all
carefully classed Over 10000 sam
pies were thus obtained.
During the same period covered in
securing samples for mills, county
classers in the state classed about
10000 bales for producers and OBJ
tanned information as to the date and
place of sale and price received for
large part Of this cotton.
Now as to the results. We quote
from the Bulletin, "a comparison of
all coinciding sales as to grade, staple
and date selected from the sale Of
approximately 10000 bales sold in
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia, showed that the mills paid
an average of 232 points, or SLIGO
per bale, more than the average price
received by the farmer on the same
date for cotton of the same grade
and staple" So we see that the
results SO far claimed by the Texas
association seems to be reasonable
A difference of ten dollars q bale
is enough to make farmer begin to
think, and his first thought is not
very coplimentary to the mills. But
IT we farmers are going to turn over
new leaf and become business men,
we must not let our feelings run
away with us; but must look at this
matter from business standpoint.
Some yeas back bill was introdu-
ced in our state senate that referred
to cotton. AS it was of interest to
the mills the president of chain of
mills appeared before the committee
in charge of the bill. In the course
of his argument he said that he pre-
ferrcd to buy his cotton from g fact
or rather than from the farmers.

Colonel, / thought you were the
farmers friend; / am surprised tc
hear you say that" The committee
paid no attention to the interruption
nor did the president Of the mill
But we knew he had reason for tax.
ing the stand he did, and we soon
had an opportunity to ask him what
his reasons were. Expressing the
pleasure it gave him to explain his
position, he said that their exper-
iencc was this: Wishing to buy a
large number of bales Of cotton it
was an easy mattor to place the o".
der with factor. It's staple, grade
and general character could be stipu-
lated. Now in such large number
CT hales some will be found which do
not come up to the contract. That
it will be SO is we'll known to both
parties. SO these bales, when found
by workers handling them at the
mill, are set aside, and representa-
tives Of each of the contracting par
ties meet and adjust the differences.
There is no feeling whatever-it is
simply a matter Of business. But
ne said when the mills buy direct
from the farmers these same defec
tive bales will get into the mill, but
how will it ever be adjusted? Of
course if it appears that fraud has
been attempted we could punish the
guilty party but that is not business,
and as to the minor losses, there
would be no pleasure in trying to
collect from the farmer.
Again he said mill is organized
to manufacture, and not to speculate
in cotton. When we get all order
for cloth we place with factor an
order for the number of bales of
just tlis kind We need. We know
what we will get for our goods, and
what we can pay for cotton out Of
which the goods will be made. All
this is a simple business transaction.
But suppose we are buying from the
farmers, large part Of the cotton
they furnish is not suitable for us,
and we must turn around and sell
it. Of course we can't take risks
as to price, and SO like any other
business we must look out for our
safety. The losses from damaged
cotton is enormous, we must take
that into consideration and as we
are never certain which bales may
contain such we must make allow
ance by fixing low price for ALL
So it appears we suffer all this
loss year after year, and blame every
body but ourselves. The remedy is
in our own hands. Let us study
the plan that has already been adopt.
ed by six states, and if we wish tc
be benc fted let us, too, adopt it.
And let us bear this in mind
Only those who cooperate will be
benefited. Any one can see that
those who refuse to come in will be
just as helpless as they now are. C

VISITORS AT SWINE
DAY FIND VALUE OF
GROWING PROTEINS
Mineral Mixture Wit Soy
beans Shown to Be Best
Hog Feed.

A home grown supplement TO corn
for fattening hogs. just as efficient
as tankage. or other CONNIE rcial pro-
ducts, was the big feature brought
out at the second annual Swine
Day at Purdue university, Sept. %.
The visitors between 500 and 500,
representing a third OF the Indiana
counties, found they could feed a
mineral MIXTURE with ground or
whole soybeans. and obtain results
which compare favorably with the
commercially prepared supplements
in rate OF gain and at a lower cos.
Results OF experimental work In
feeding the different lots of hogs
were explained to the men and
women on the university hog farm
as the pOrkers IN the various lots
were brought in for inspection. The
lot receiving he mineral mixture,
composed OF 10 parts wood ashes, 10
parts acid phosphate, and one part
common salt by weight with soy
beans and shelled corn, was the
outstanding bunch OF 10 head in all
the lots. The pigs showed a better
growth, averaging 210 pounds. The
corn and tankage To- was fat and
ready for market at a weight OF 208
rounds. The mineral feed lot was
in good market condition but pos
sessed a frame large enough TO carry
additional weight. The corn alone
lot OF hogs had gained only As OF a
pound daily against $50 for the corn
and tankage lot and IA for the
corn. soybean and mineral fed los.
One Of the corn alone lot had 10 be
taken out because IL had stopped
gaining, results were so poor with
this group.
The results OF all the experiments
was a striking Lesson in feeding an
imal protein 70 balance the ration.
A home grown protein. such as Is
provided by soybeans, does this and
at A cost lower than the commercial
" prepared product. The mineral
mixture makes the soybeans more
efficient.
The visitors looked over the vari-
Gus lots Of hogs. found out -he value
OF the different forages and what
they helped TO do IN producing gains.

MAKE A HOTBED AND
HAVE FRESH GARDEN
FOODS ALL WINTER
They Are Easy to Make and
Many Times Worth Their
Trouble.

Provide an abundance of crisp
fresh lettuce and radishes for
Thanksgiving and Christmas and the
many days between. by fixing up a
hot bed now.
For those who have grown crops
in hot bed no instructions are ne
cessary-the process is the same.
For those who have not been so
fortunate a few simple suggestions
from Purdue university horticultu-
rists VIII be helpful.
A hot bed consists Of a frame
which holds the warm air in and
the cold air out; a glass sash which
fits this frame. serving TO give light
10 the plants as well as protecting
them from the cold outside air.
Aside from this, some artificial heat
usually fermenting horse manure is
essential.
Any kind OF glass may be used.
For most families a hot bed as
large as six feet will provide an
abundance OF lettuce and radishes
for winter use.
Select a wen protected spot where
II is possible 10 get all the available
sunlight. Dig a pit about is inches
deep and the size and shape OF the
sash which are 10 be used. Place a
frame over this with a slope so when
the sash is placed on top. II will
give a slope sufficient TO allow the
sun 20 shine on most OF the bed and
also drain off the water. A frame
ground and the back or north side
IL inches high Will give the required
slope.
Into the pit fresh horse manure
should come within Is inches OF the
top OF the side OF the frame, or about
u inches from the top OF the glass
Upon this four inches OF rich loose
garden soil should be placed. The
soil should be raked level. Outside
the frame, dirt should be banked up
20 the top OF the frame. During
cold weather manure packed around
the outside OF the frame will help
greatly in keeping frost out.
II fresh horse manure IS placed
in the pit the ground should not be
planted until about a week later.
Several rows OF lettuce with row 5
OF radishes between may be planted.
Not all OF the crops should be
planted az once. since two or three
paintings VIII bring crops on at
different periods. Besides lettuce and
radishes. a few punches OF parsley
nav be transplanted into one side.
This will provide plenty OF garnish-
ing material for winter use.
To obtain the best results the hot
bed should receive careful attention.
Because OF the approaching cool
weather. less attention viii be need
ed than in the spring time This
should be done by raising the sash
a little on the side away from the

wares and set them running to see
what they could do.
The Bourbon schools were dis
