Co-oneraEives IN The South

Vast Improvement m The organization and opera
tion Of cooperative marketing associations in the
southern states. rs compared with earlier ATTEMPTS At
rrcup action in marketing crops. was reported hy J.
= Wells. Jr. Of the Bureau Of Agricultural Econom-
ics, United States Department or Agriculture. adj
dressing the meeting Of Southern Agricultural Work
es at Houston.
The need for permanent farmer organizations
with flexible sot-ups." Mr.. Wells said. "is becoming
more widely appreciated and is being adopted by the
most successful associations. Southern growers and
farm leaders have become more discriminating and
insistent uuon helpful services from the marketing
associations. and from state and government edu-
cational agencies.
Both short-term operating and loneer-time stor-
age credit have become more readily available for
present associations. The development Of the use OF
scceptanoes by the federal reserve banks and mem
her banks. and Of marketing credit through original
advances to co-operatives by the federal interme-
Gste credit banks. have been. of the utmost assist
srce 10 Southern marketing groups"
Nj. Wells reported a steady increase in the pro-
portion of direct-to-mill sales Of cotton by the cotton
co-operatives A recent survey showed that direct
to-mil sales with one association increased from So
per cent Of total sales made in 1922 to 90 per cent
Of total made during 1o24-25. The association sells
on buyers call when necessary. as contrasted with
earlier efforts TO dispose Of practically all cotton on
sellers call The futures market Is used. and sub
sidiery sales corporations have been formed to han
die these transactions.
"Au the cotton associations" he declared. have
made important progress in understanding better the
growers problems and service requirements. Several
Of the associations are successfully operating finance
subsidiaries to provide growers with production
credit.
THE inclusion of optional price fixation pools in
addition to the seasonal pools, and an annual with
dravsl privilege. have been outstanding steps toward
making the associations more flexible. These changes
have been made to meet growers economic condi-
tions as they actually exist. in contrast to some Of the
original inflexible provisions which were included 70
match situations as one might like them to be. A
large percentage Of the cotton received the past year
by all associations has been placed in short-time
rather than seasonal pools"

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2i. - The
Arabian Nights fisherman who ac-
commodatingly let n huge genie
out OF n bottle only to have the biz
brute threaten 70 kill him. out or
pure meanness. was lucky in having
an exceptionally bone-headed genie
to deal with.
As all must recall he flim-flam-
med the poor sap into returning TO
his c~ontainer. ostensibly TO prove
that a 50.000.0O0 gallon genie could
debate himself inside a one-Quart
receptacle, and then corked him up
again until he'd made terms to the
fisherman's everlasting financial
advantage.
Fisherman Herbert Hoover has no
assurance that the congressional
genie VIII be so gullible when he
pulls the stopper and the genie
comes bouncing out for his sched-
uled extra session beginning in
April or thereaboutS. From all in
dicationS. he is liable 10 develop in

Everybody knows what Mr.. Hoo

ira seSsion-as follows:
l. Pass a farm relief bill.
2. Maybe increase the tariff
somewhat-not TO excess-for the
benefit OF a very, very few indus
tries.
g. Adjourn and go home until
next December.
The evidence Is overwhelming
that Mr.. Hoover and his most trust
ed advisers have scrutinized every
precedent in American history in
the hope of hitting on some plan
BY which the president can end an
extra session Of congress when he
would like to have II end.
