We Can't 0utguess the Market

A few members of the cooperative
cotton marketing association are com
planning that they could have sold their
cotton for more money. This will al
ways be the case. The man who as
sumes that he would have sold his cot
ton at the top of the market will al
ways be able to figure out how he
would have done better outside the
marketing association. But he seems
to forget that he has only one chance
out of about twenty-five to sell at the
top price. Only per cent sell at the
top prices. This is because the man
has not yet been born who knows when
to sell cotton.
If the member of the cooperative
who thinks he knows when to sell cot
ton and would have sold at the top
price really knew how to do that he
would not long continue in the hard
business of producing cotton. He would
make his millions in year or two and
have no need for farming, or the CO.
operative marketing association, and
could "live happily ever after"
The basic or fundamental principle
of cooperative marketing of cotton is
orderly marketing, which means sell
ing cotton at all time or every month
In the year, because cotton is used
every month in the year. The coopera-
tives will not, should not, and can not
sell their cotton all at one time or at
the top price. They will not and can
not sell at the top price, because no one
can do that, for no one knows the top
price. They should not attempt to sell
all their cotton at one time at any
price, for the chances are they would
not get the top price if they did at
tempt to sell it. and many times would
sell for less than they would get by
selling all the time and getting the
average price. BY selling orderly and
refusing to dump their cotton and fore
ing prices down, they get a better aver
age price than under the old dumping
system.
The cooperatives will never get the
top price for all their cotton. They

will get better than average prices by
the old methods of selling, but no one
who has the slightest knowledge of
the principles of cooperative commodity
marketing of cotton will expect these
associations to ever get the top price.
On the other hand, they will never get
the lowest price. They will simply get
better average price for their mem
bers than is obtained by farmers who
market in the old way.
1t is. therefore, rank nonsense for
any member of a cooperative market
ing association to complain that he
lost $40, or S15, or any other amount
per bale, by marketing his cotton
through the cooperative. He can with
the same lack of reason claim that he
has lost money every year he failed to
get the top price when he was not a
member of a cooperative.
But he can claim with the best of
reason that in term of years he has
and will continue to get through the
cooperative a better average price than
those outside the association who dump
their cotton on the market in the fall
or during three or four months. Even
last year those who sold their cotton
early and those who sold it late got
less than the average and less than
received by members of the coopera-
tives.-The Progressive Farmer.

Farm Census

The department of commerce, bureau
of the census, at Washington is pre-
pairing to make a farm census to be-
gin the first of December. Each state
has been divided into districts and the
districts into counties.
Arkansas has six districts. The
JoneSborO district, composed of twelve
counties including Randolph, is to be
under the direction of Mr.. Robert G..
Davidson, who will have at his service
eighty-fiye enumeratOrs.
Sample questionnaires are being
widely distributed to the farmers, to
familiarize them with the information
soon to be called for by the enumera-
tors In addition to the usual inquiries
relative to production, values, and farm
expenses, the schedule calls for the
amount of taxes paid by the farm Oper-
atOr on farm property, including real
estate tax, personal property tax, and
special assessments. 1t is important
to ascertain just what the burden of
taxation resting upon the farm really
is and how it compares with the
amount of taxes paid by other inter
ests. This may point the way to a
more equitable adjustment of the tax
burden.

At mass meeting of citizens of
the Pine Street Dept. gymnasium the
next day, Sunday, May 4. Gov. Sweet
of Colorado was present and heard a
brief statement from Mrs. Malone as
to why she made her gift. The gov
ernor was so much impressed that he

after the close of the meeting. He
accompanied Mrs. Malone and a party
of friends to the college, where he
was shown through and expressed
very great surprise and delight at the
magnitude and spirit of this great in
stitution.
Mr.. and Mrs. Malone have been
generous contributors to many or
ganizations and welfare movements
throughout the country. In 1915
they made what was then the largest
contribution ever made by colored
people to any organization, namely,
$4,000, to the Building Fund of the
Pine Street Y. NJ. c. A. Since then

This gift of $25, 900 shows that the
Negro Is developing rapidly along
business lines, and that he Is willing
to bear his share Of responsibility for
the social and religious uplift of his
own people. When 1t is remembered
that a building for colored men and
