bers As is known, the association
advanced Is and 20 cents per pound
on practically all of the cotton at
the time Of delivery. as against only
u cents per pound the first year.
This means that the amount Of in
surance and interest will necessarily
case during our first year.
Despite the fact that Georgia
made almost a cotton crop failure
last year. the association handled
several thousand bales more than it
did the first year. and although our
interest and insurance was more per
bale, due to a higher valuation on
cotton. the expenses per pound are
slightly under what they were for
the first year.
I'VE have signed several thousand
good members this year and we have
a better prospect for a crop.
I'VE feel that cooperative mar
kcting in the cotton belt has made
wonderful progress during tn PAST
twelve months. We shou Z all re-
member that the more cotton the as
soc.ation handles. the more influence
we will exercise on prices and the
easier It is TO reduce our expenses
