|MONDELL IS SEEN
AS POSSIBLE NEW !
CABINET MEMBER
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
LEASED Wire Service to The Journal.)
Copyright, 1929


WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Pres1-
dent Harding has not yet made up
his mind whom he will appoint as
secretary of the interior to succeed
Albert B. Fall, who retires on March
4.
The friends of Frank w. Mondell,
of Wyoming, Republican leader of
the house, think he has a good
chance of being invited into the cabi-
net. Mr.. Mondell halls from the
west, and it is an unwritten law in
both Republican and Democratic
politics that man from the west
should always be appointed secre-
tary of the interior.
Two possible cabinet shifts have
been discussed, which have had as
their premise the transfer of Post
master General Work, of Colorado,
to be secretary of the interior. thus
permitting Mr.. Harding to nominate
Senator Harry New, Of Indiana, to
be postmaster general. and the other
plan. contemplated Mr.. Hoover's TAX
ing the secretaryship of the in.
terror, enabling Mr.. Harding to APP
point Albert Lasker, chairman OF
the shipping board, to be secretary
of commerce.
and is a mining engineer of note.
Unquestionably the west would well
come his appointment to the job,
but he feels he has become so deeply
involved in the problems of the de-
partment of commerce as to make 1t
inadVisable for him to let go there,
It already has been announced that
the president offered the secretary
ship of the interior to Mr., Hoover
and that the latter declined. 1t
might be that if Postmaster General
Work were transferred to the in
terror portfolio, the appointment of
Chairman Lasker to the postmaster
generals place would be considered.
This is entirely apart, however,
from the movement which seeks to
place Mr. Mondell in the cabinet, and
merely illustrates the many moves of
the checkerboard Of appointments
which President Harding has at his
Disposal, moves which involves his
closest friends and associates. Mr..
Mondell, as leader Of the house, has
played ball with the administration
in every sense of the word, cooper
ating instead of obstructing and
moving administration bills through
the house with all the loyalty and
enthusiasm that a leader could pos
sibly display.
The general inference has been
that Mr.. Mondell had no chance be.
cause he is a ''lame duck" But
Mr.. Mordelfs case is not quite the
same as others in congress. His de-
feat was by no means an evidence
of lack of confidence in him in his
constituency.

CO-OPERAT MARKETING
Department Devoted to the Pool Selling of All Farm Products

emit" farmers had sold ell their
cotton to merchants at from 30
to % cents pound, basis mid
ding, the association got ready
to sell gradually and as the
market demanded. They sold
a little around Is cents, $l25 a
bale, and sold steadily as cotton
mounted to % and then % cents.
They will continue to sell slowly
on the market until the end of
the cotton season, when they
will ascertain the average price
obtained for every bale in every
classification, and will pay to
The producer OF each bale the
average price obtained for cotton
of that class. The only deGuc-
ton will be the pro rata cost
Of handling that bale.
The Commerce News is also
in error when it says, "Not many
merchants who have goods to
sell or banks that have money
to lend will care to take the risk
Of extending credit to that per-
son who has his cotton crop
turned over, with no strings
attached, to the cotton associa-
ton or any other selling ave-
nue."
True it is there are some mer-
chants and some banks which
are as ignorant as is the Gem
merce News about the theory
and practice of the cooperative
associations, and these few mer-
chants and bankers are hostile
to it. But in the course of time
even these who doubt because OF
their lack of understanding will
be converted. 1t is 81 fact that
the majority oe the merchants
and bankers of the state warmly
indorse the associations prin-
ciples and it's work. Perhaps the
strongest supporters the Geor-
gia association has are Governor
M. E. Wellborn. of the Federal
Reserve Bank OF the Atlanta dis
trict, and the banks of Atlanta.
The attitude of the progressive
small banks of the state is well
presented by three letters re-
ceived last week by the Georgia
association, as follows:

1t would be difficult to put
more misinformation in so few
words.
The cotton association does
not claim to have saved the cot
ton planters of the state eight
hundred thousand dollars. It
points out, with pardonable
pride, that it will pay TO it's
members about one and one-half
million dollars more for their
cotton than these members
would have gotten had they sold
at ginning time last fall. Cotton
then was selling for 81 cents
and less. Cotton now is selling
around % cents. The associa-
ton has sold no cotton for less
than "a cents and only q few
hundred bales for less than Is
cents. It will obtain a high
average price, regardless of
what the future course Of the
market may be.
The association has assumed
no credit for increasing the price
of cotton, though those who
know few elemental facts
about trade conditions know
that eight state association, by
Withholding more than a million
bales from the market last fall
when the annual glut took place,
prevented cotton from selling
down to II cents or less. Most
Of that cotton is still off the
market. If it all were on the

price should nave increased
since this is the smallest crop
we have grown in twenty
years." as the Commerce News
says. This is not 1.-The smallest
crop in twenty years." The
American crop of 1922 is two
million ten thousand bales
LARGER than the crop of 1921.
Production estimates from coun-
tries outside the United States
are neither prompt nor reliable
but figures at hand show accu-
rately that the 1922 production
in the United States, Mexico,
Egypt, India, Russia and China
is 16,17o,000 bales while the total
world production in 1921 in the
same countries was only 49,
10000 bales. Thus the world
crop in 1922 was at least 2,4O0,-
600 bales LARGER this season
than last.
It is not true that "the pro-
Queer who habitually sells as he
picks and gins usually in the
long run fares as well as the =,
producer who always holds" OF
course there are many farmers
who have blindly held for prices
that were not reached, and who
let storage and insurance charges
eat their profit, and who finally
were forced to sell at sacrifice
prices.
But a study Of the range of
cotton prices during the past
fifty years will prove to any man
that the farmer who sells when
he gins is the biggest sucker in
the world. How could it be 9th
erwise?
Consider for a moment the sit
uation: The years product Of
the American cotton farms is
ready for market within three
or four months each fall. More
than one million producers are
hauling their cotton to market
and are dumping it to the high
est bidders. These highest bid
ders are buying not only the cot
ton that mills need at the time,
but also all the cotton the mills
need for nine months more.
There is no demand on the part
Of the consumer for two-thirds
or three-fourths Of that cotton.
But there is a necessity that the
farmers find buyers then and
there. They must sell.
How can they get anything
else but the bottom price of the
season?
It is because the price at dump
ing time is invariably less than
the average price of the season
that the cotton merchants make,
millions. They buy in the fall
when the producers, blindly and
frantically bidding against one
another, force the price down.
They store the cotton so bought
and sell it from time to time dur
ing the year, netting an aver
age price. Those who hold for
a price arbitrarily decided on &C.
casionally go broke. "A good many
did in the summer of 1920, when
cotton broke from As cents. But
they were gambling. The wise
cotton merchant Doesn't gamble
by holding. He buys in the fall,
sells gradually and pockets the
profits that the farmer needs so
badly.
That is what the Georgia Cot
ton Growers Cooperative asso.
citation and the other co-opera-
tives are doing. They are func-
tioning just as the cotton mer-
chant functions, except that
their profits go to the producers
who own the association.

- NE of Georgia's finest coun-
try newspapers, The Com
merce News, edited by the
beloved "Uncle John" shannon,
has an excellent editorial in the
current issue on the evil effects
of the credit system Of supply
ing farmers. The News express
es the belief that the ending of
the credit system will be a boon
to the farmer. Nobody will dis
sent from this view.
But in the course of the edi-
torial, The News is inaccurate
in discussing the Georgia Cot
ton Growers Cooperative Mar
keting association when it says:
1.-THE cotton association is an
other agency that will stand
around the grave Of the system
and hasten its burial. Doubtless
it has its advantages and good
features, and if it really assists
III IIlS clOOlllAOll VI IAAC " SNaAS ~
tenn, the association will be ben
eficial to all the people in more
respects than one. The assocla-
ton now claims to have saved
the cotton planters Of the state
eight hundred thounsand dol
lars. In making this claim it
must assume to itself the credit
of increasing the price Of cotton,
for the saving is due largely to
the increased price. 1t is but
natural that the price should
have increased since this is the
smallest crop we have grown in
fifty years. 1t must also be re-
membered, that the association
was not in existence when cot
ton went to 40 cents and above.
With these and other facts that
could be mentioned, it is hardly
reasonable for the association to
claim credit for the increased
price. Sometimes it pays to hold
cotton and sometimes it does
not. Sometimes the holder finds
the price increased and then
sometimes the price tumbles
while the holder holds. That
producer who habitually sells as
he picks and gins usually in the
long run fares as well as the
producer who always holds. If
the price had declined, as it will
some day, the association will
not be in position to show up so
advantageously. But, if the as
ISOLATION succeeds in securing
control of the bulk of the crop,
then another steadfast nail will
be driven into the lid of the
credit coffin. Not many mer-
chants who have goods to sell
or banks that have money to
lend, will care to take the risk
of extending credit to that per-
son who has his cotton crop
turned over with no strings at
tached to the cotton association
or any other selling agency. If
then the association can render
further assistance in putting an
end to the credit system, it will
inure to the advantage of all the
people"

COTTON SEED COOP
WILL BE ORGANIZED,
Commissioner SAYS

Organization OF a cooperative as
ISOLATION to market cotton seed, on
the same plan as cotton is now being
marketed by the Georgia Cotton
Growers Cooperative Marketing as
ISOLATION, will be one of the next
undertakings of the market bureau
OF the Georgia department of agri-
culture, it is announced by Commits
sioner Brown.
%The experience of Denmark and
other countries has proven conclu-
sively that each farm product should
be marketed through its own indi-
vidual marketing association, to get
the best results" said Commissioner
Brown.
1--WE believe the cooperative mar
keting idea is firmly established, and
within five years or less time fully
expect to see virtually all of our cot
ton marketed on that basis.
."As the cotton cooperative asso-
Citations grow and reach out, other
associations to market other crops
will likewise grow, in my judgment.
THE market bureau of this depart
pent is mapping out a program to
undertake the organization of CO.
operatives for a number of farm
crops, taking them one at a time.
We expect to receive the full CO.
operation of the existing associations,
the state college of agriculture and
other agencies.
1--WE have already organized the
cane growers IN south Georgia, and
astonishing results were obtained the
FIRST year. We next will undertake
the organization of a peanut growers
association, and after that a cotton
seed association.
