tive Marketing.

@. "W hat does the Cotton Grow
ers' Cooperative Association propose
to do for the cotton grcwer?"
A. Grade, staple and weigh haah
bale and sell this cotton In large lc1s
of even-running grades, as direct to
mills or exporters as possible, thus
eliminating under-grading as we'll as
much useless handling.
@. "Will this benefit tho farmer?"
A. Yes. The benefits thus ACQUIRING
are easy to see, and this mode Of SELL
ing is even now actually bringing in
moro money to members OF the same
sort OF selling organization In Texas
and oklahoma, according to state
ments OF Texas members.
O. "Will this selling system be-
come stronger each year?"
"A. Yes. because only four States
are selling in this manner this year.
Next year North Carolina and Ar
kansas will be ready for tho system.
as they have completed their sign-up.
In all probability South Carolina and
Georgia and Alabama will also be
ready to sell on the same system, be-
ginning with the crop OF 1922.
G. "Why should cotton benefit es-
pecially when sold on this system ."
A. Because cotton Is now sold with
greater Ignorance, perhaps, than any

other crop grown. There Is necessary.
for efficient selling by the producer,
a knowledge Of grade and staple,
each Of which has a certain value on
the market, and Of which the farmer
is now ignorant and cannot demand
the full value, because, in the first
place, he does not know the full
value, and, in the second place, he
could not get it because he, as an in
dividual, is helpless to command 1t.
Q. "How is price influenced in the
marketing of product?"
A. Aaron Sapiro, the noted attor-
ney for fourteen cooperative asso-
Citations In California. who helped to
design this cotton contract, answers
this as follows: when there are 20
men selling prunes, cotton, ETC., and
only one man buying the product, the
BUYER controls the market; but
when there is ONE man selling the
prunes or cotton and four men BUY
ING, the SELLER controls the mar.
ket."
@. "I am an independent cotton
grower. Why should 1 sign away my
independence"
A. II the person who makes such
statement really thinks about his
position there is no need to answer
him. However, we will say that when
he thinks about the matter he will
find that he Is most helpless indl-
vidual, who does not know the true
grade of his cotton and has,.na way
Of getting the true value of 1t, even
though he knew what 1t was. Also,
he helps to make his situation more
helpless by throwing his cotton ig-
norantly upon the market regardless
and in competition with all other
growers who are in similar posi-
ton.
@. Eyes, 1t may be good, but ]
want to KNOW who handles my cot
ton."
"A. II you are growing cotton for
sentimental reasons, and wish only
to cater to some certain man, then
that Is valid argument; otherwise,
If you are growing cotton for tho
MONEY, then 1t Is not. Furthermore,
you DO know who will handle your
cotton, for 1t will be the men chosen
each year by you as directors of your
association. Each grower has one
vote and selects his director eacn
year, the directors In turn selecting
the chief selling agent.
@. won't the selling agent be
farmer?"

in the art Of selling cotton-one who
has the experience and intelligence
in his line to get the true value for
all grades Of cotton.

i've Farmer, says that one of the
North Carolina farmers who signed
the contract answers it thus: eve
couldn't have farmer to sell for us.
He would give 1t away. for he has
been used to doing that all his life."
