State Organizer F. E. West Enjoins Unity and C-Operation in the Sale of Cotton One of the important phases of the j cotton question, presented bv the Southern Cotton. Association, is the L |oieP observance ()f unitv and L |o|| ftn the 0 f producers I the ^ ()f thejr lhat its movement to market may he so dir I ected and controlled as to avoid the i • „. . ,. ,. demoralizing etfects of over-crowding; this being a potent factor in depress • a ,. ... mg prices, affording, as it does, op portunity for raiding the market bv mini mum the expense of inter-handling _ , ... , , hy enuajiur transportation, and tin* elimination of middlemen charges, no good reason why the grower should not sell direct to the _ t a m * , , , manu facturer. I he local buyer is not a necessary factor in effecting j transfers, except as the agent ot the manufacturer. He needs no other boss, or B ,obetween. The broker who employs him should be made to ! walk the plank. The interests of both grower and manufacturer would , , , Deserved bv hts elimination. The: -, manufacturer is not wedded to the . . present system. He is desirous • ol . , . , getting in closer touch with the ! . , grower, and would welcome any change that properly safeguarded his interest. He realizes, as does the intelligent grower, that only the ! friendliest relations should exist be tween the great allied interests of ! local buyers: who sometimes lay in wait for such conditions. In our consideration of the marketing feat ure we should not luse sight of the item of cost, but reduce t< a There is growing and manufacturing cotton, i In counseling a general reduction in the cotton acreage, with a resultant limitation in the supply of cotton, it is not contemplated by the Cotton Association that the supply shall be so far less than the demand as to embarrass the mills, who are really allied interests, copartners as it were with the growers in the de velopment \ of the general cotton industry. Such a policy would militate against our s own best interests. It would force i the mills to seek new fields of supply for their lints, and build up in for eign countries a dangerous policy in the production of raw cotton. The ob- I ject is to benefit the growers without j relatively injuring the manufacturer. Ten or twelve cent cotton would not ! embarrass the mills, if stability was given the market at that price. Vi olent fluctuations, more than high prices work injury to the mills. Ex orbitant prices are not contemplated. Regulation of acreage within bounds promising a supply equal to the norm al demand, without flying to either extreme, is the ideal condition and ] the standard to be worked up to. Fred. E.
