The editor of this paper has prob
ably written more words on the sub
ject of the cooperative marketing OF
cotton than any other living man.
Sometimes he thinks he has written
too many words; that if he had been
little more concise it would have
been better. But he has always been
prompted to wordiness by the fear
that the subject was new to so many
people that it needed always to be
dealt with thoroughly; he has been
afraid to take it for granted that
the broad principles are generally
understood.
Once in 2 while he runs across a
discussion of the question that is
fresh in its treatment-that sees
the thing from little different
viewpoint. Here below is forCeful
and distinctly fresh treatment of
the matter by MI j. S. Miner, con-
tanned in a letter to the GAINESVILLE,
Ga, News Gazette:
The subject that interested me
most at the farm meeting in
Athens was the cooperative mar
keting of all farm products. This
movement Of the farmers was
held up as a cure-all for all of
the economic ills of the farmer.
This is a mistake, it will not
do it. The farmer has too many
ills for one remedy to reach
them all.
Cooperative marketing is
step in the right direction. 1t
will help the farmer to get a lit
tie more of the consumers dol
lar. The principle is sound and
fair and just to ALL the consumer
as we'll as the producer. They
organize the commodity and not
the farmer. Cooperative mar
keting of farm products was
started in the little country of
Denmark about forty years ago,
and it is said that her farmers
are the richest per capita of any
farmers of any nation on the
globe today. It is also said that
Of every dollar the consumer
pays, ninety cents goes to the
Danish producer. If the latter
is true we can't doubt the for
mer. If we farmers here could
get fifty cents of the consumers
dollar all the way around we
would think we were in clover.
This movement has spread to
nearly every country on earth.
California was the first of our
states to adopt it about twenty
years ago. Today they market
every thing they raise co-opera-
lively.
Let me explain if I can little
about the workings of the asso-
Citations. Every commodity is or
ganized separately under a long
time contract. Take the cotton
for instance: The farmer signs
up for five years to deliver all
the cotton to the association that
he raises. The association is
bunch of farmers organized to
do business for themselves. The
officers, who are responsible for
its affairs, are under heavy bond.
Twenty-four directors, and all
must be cotton farmers. No

that the deacons of the church

if the members could not be won

Now Abolish Whipping
In the Public Schools,
Georgia Man Suggests

Now that whipping has been abol-
ished in the convict camps and the
state prison farm by order of Gov.
ernor Hardwick, why not also abol
ish the use of the lash in the public
schools?
This suggestion was presented to
the governor in letter received

body can get into the associa-
ton unless he produces cotton,
either as landlord or tenant.
These directors and officers are
elected by the members and they
represent every section where
they have members. And the af-
fairs of the organization are I'M
der the direction Of these direc-
tors who meet once month.
The cotton is all pooled, as we'll
as all other commodities, as for
that matter. What 1 mean is
this, every farmer who puts a
bale of cotton in the pool of the
same grade and same staple
shares just alike, thought part
might have been sold at 20
cents and a part at 80 cents.
When the pool is wound up
each one is paid according to
what he put into it, which is
fair.
They will lend the farmer
money on his cotton at 6 per
cent interest. If it is mortgaged
they will arrange about that for
him. I spent some time in the
Office of the Georgia association
in Atlanta the other day, and
every one connected with it that
I met impressed me as being
dead in earnest to do what they
have set out to do. The bulk
of their cotton at present is
stored in compress towns. The
samples are sent in to the At
Ianta Office and graded and sta
pied by experts who look like
they ought to be impartial as
they don't buy, and don't even
know whose cotton they are
grading. They told me they got
enough repaclls to pay for grad
ing. The cotton is arranged &C.
cording to grade and length Of
staple. When the mill man
wants. say a thousand bales of
a particular grade and staple,
they have it right in one place
to offer him. There are eight
states organized now. The eight
states maintain a national or
ganization with a salesman that
is in touch with every country
that uses cotton. They have two
or three men in the Old World
to find out at first hand the con-
ditions- and needs and then be
ready to offer them the cotton.
Past records show that out OF
every hundred dollars the spin
ner has paid for cotton, twenty
dollars went to the middle man
and eighty dollars to the farmer.
In other words every fifth crop
of cotton was lost so far as the
farmer was concerned, and be-
sides every time it changed
hands it was cut in a new place,
resampled, and by the time it
reached the mill the bagging
is all cut off and several pounds
added to the city crop and the
bale looks like it had been
through a cyclone, and all at the
expense of the farmer. Under
the cooperative plan the bale is
never cut but one time. It is
graded and stapled, and that is
final. The grades are guaran-
teed, and they told me they had
as little trouble along that line
as could possibly be expected
under any system. Now, the

Guaranteed Profit \
On Cotton Essential,
J. !. Brown Says

Low cotton prices within the past
ten or fifteen years have impoverish-
ed the farmers of the south to the
extent that they have been forced
to sell the tinbers on their farms,
virtually exhaust their natural re-
sources and mortgage their farms,
according to a statement by Commits
sioner of Agriculture J. J. Brown
after the close of the boil weevil con-
ference here last week.
"If you will give the farmers a
margin of profit over the, cost Of pro-
duction. they will raise cotton de-
spite the ravages of the boil weevil.
But, with the p REVEALING prices,
which are scarcely higher than be-
fore the pest made it's entrance into
this section, the farmers are unable
to determine whether they can pro-
duce cotton.
eff, however, they can be guaran-
teed a price for their cotton which
will give them margin Of profit
over their production cost, they will
produce the staple. The cost of pro-
ducing the staple now is many times
what it was several years ago and
the farmers cannot afford to waste
efforts and their time in q, fight in
which it seems that they are not
being benefited.
eff the world wishes the south to
produce her cotton, the world must
guarantee the south price for the
staple that will assure the producers
of a profit. It is needless for the
world to ask the south for cotton
with which to clothe its people when
the women and children of the south
ern farmers are shiVering in the
wintry blasts"

Acting under orders issued from the state capitol, officers in charge of the Birmingham unit of the Ala bama national guard on duty in Bir- minghan, have issued releases from active duty to all the guardsmen with the exception of eight, who will remain for few days more at head quarters in the old post office build- ing.

 Captain James stated that releases were first issued to some of the men about a month ago. Two or three times week approximatel dozen men have been allowed to return to "cits." Fifteen men were discharged from active duty Thursday night.

JURY THINKS ALLEGEDI BREACH OF CONTRACT W0RTH$6l, 300 TO MAN

Damages of s61.36o for alleged breach of contract were awarded John L. Tyler. suing the Mid Texas Petroleum company for S52,000, by jury in Judge c. B. Smiths court Friday. This is said to be one of the largest verdicts ever rendered in Jefferson county.
 The suit which resulted in the verdict was the outgrowth of an agreement concerning the placing in escrow of 13,000 shares of stock held by Tyler in the defendant company. It was claimed that in June, 1920, Tyler held 13.000 shares of stock which the company did not want placed on the market. A contract was entered into by which Tyler was to place his stock in escrow for 60 days if the company would ex- pend S15,000 in an advertising cam paign for the stock in Alabama. The company bound itself to make the stock held by Tyler worth s4 share by August 25, 1920, instead of the par value of s1. Tyler alleged that he performed his part of the agree mont, but that tlIe corapany failed to conduct an advertising campaign in Alabama or to do anything to cause his stock to appreciate in value.
 Tyler asked for s52.000 as dam ages, the price the stock would bring at $4 a share. The jury awarded verdict for the full amount and the interest made it total $61,360.
