BANKS BACKING
ASSOCIATION
Farmers in Large Numbers
Signing Contracts

Rock Hill. July 1e.-The banks
of South Carolina will stand
strongiy. behind the South Caro-
lima Cotton Growers Cooperative
Association in the opinion Of Chas.
L. Cobb. OF Rock Hill, president of
the South Carolina Bankers AS
sociation, who declared today that
in his opinion the formation of the
association marked the most for
ward step that the farmers of the
state have ever taken.
II feel sure that there is not a
bank in South Carolina but that
will cooperate in every way pos
sible with the association. said
Mr.. Cobb. THE banks are de-
lighted TO see the farmers putting
such business-like methods in the
marketing of their crops. 1t is a
step which we feel they should
have taken long ago.
"a very great majority OF the
banking institutions Of the state
endorsed the. movement during the
orsa IMITATION campaign and assisted
in putting the campaign over.
They did this only after they had
made a thorough study of the
plan of and of the operation OF the
associations in other states which
functioned last season.
Il feel that an exceptionally
able board OF directors has been
chosen in this state. one that can
cope successfully with any prob
lem which might arise. The war
finance corporation has placed It's
stamp of approval Oh the organ
ization by approving an application
for an advance of S10.0eo.0oe. THIS
shows the confidence that it has
in it. The banks Of South Car
ol;oa have the same confidence in
IT, an, sure. and will stand
ready TO assist it in every way pos
sible.
