REED ADDRESSES

THE GERMAN OUTLOOK

R. W. Reed, president ard gen. eral manager of the Beardsley & Wolcott Manufacturing company of this city, was among the speak CTS yesterday at q meeting Of the Connecticut Manufacturers asso- citation in Hartford. James F. Wallis. U. s. trade commissioner to Berlin, delivered the principle ad- dress, discussing Germany as market for Connecticut manu- factured products. John H. Goss of this city, vice president of the Manufacturers association. was among those present at the session.
 Other speakers included l.. M' Bingham, editor of "Connecticut Industry" the official organ of the Manufacturers association. B. H.. Galpin of the Pratt X Whitney Aircraft company; F. l.. Morgan of the same concern. George w.. Campbell of the Underwood-El- liott- Fisher company, $. Maas Of the Erie Manufacturing company. U. D. Garrett of the Arrow-Hart and Hegeman Electric company and Dwight Libbey of Libbey and Libbey, Inc. MT Wallis stated that while | Germany is one of the leading in- dustrial nations of the world. 1t !s an important consumer of products | of United States origin. "FoI

the cotton farmers. out of sheer habit, brings his product to town and disposes of 1t just as his grand father did" .,
 Another factor, experts said. Is that the farmer likes to handle his business personally.
 "The country buyer generally IS a gin operator, mercantile proprie- tor or a poorly paid employe of a cotton operator located in a nearby city" said Henry T. Crosby. asso- ciate editor of the Texas Weekly.
 "He Is a past master at bargain ing, but he knows little about class ification of cotton. and that Is a very important issue since the range of price for different quail ties Is enormous.
 "The farmer comes to town dur ing ginning season and the posted price of cotton is common knowl- edge of the street. If he has a su- perior brand of product he may barter with the buyer. but general ly without success. Since the farm CT Is often many miles from home and faces debts that he must meet promptly, he sees the hopelessness of his predicament.
 By nightfall he sells for what he can get and next season hc doesn't worry about quality"
 The solution. experts say, Is m orderly and scientific development and marketing of the crop.

COTTON GROWERS
 OF SOUTH STICK
 TO OLD METHODS
BY EARL E. STEELE United Press Stan Correspondent

[
 New Orleans, July 29-(UP)- Pride and independence have been pointed out as vital factors in the desperate plight of southern cotton growers who have found them . selves with market that VIII not pay costs of raising crop.
 World economists are mystined by the psychology of cotton farmer who will gladly donate a tract of his ground to an agricui- tural school for experimental pur- poses, watch the small plot pros- per and reap good returns by mod ern and scientific development and marketing methods, and at the same time farm all the rest Of his plantation just as his forefatners did decades ago and sufrer serious losses for his endeavors.
 Yet in making a five year stuoy of five-acre tracts donated Tor ex- periments by farmers all over the state, the Georgia state college of agriculture found this very situa- tion. LII.
 "The experiments proved quite successful" said E.. C. Westbrook' specialist of the college. "Farmers came from miles around to watch dem monstrations and were actually shown how to produce 300 pounds of cotton to the acre at cost of 8.1 cents a pound while they have been raising an average Of ISo pounds at a cost of 20 cents. But they went right back home and continued farming as they have al- ways done"
 Economists say the same strange spirit Is apparent in methods of marketing.
 Sam Bass, secretary treasurer of the Louisiana cotton cooperative association said that probably for the same reason that a man puts m the left sock and left shoe hrst
