' In asking the farmers and busi nes men of the State for approxi mately $200,000 to support and car ry on the movement and work, the American Cotton Assocation is asking for only one cent out of every $1.75. of the fifty millions of dollars increas in the value of the cotton crop as a result of the Association's efforts during the pas year. The $200,000 asked for North Carolina represents just one cent out of every $6.12 on the total value of the crop in the State. And these figures are extremely con servative, for they are arrived at on a basis of seven hundred thousand bate crop for the State this year, at a value ofonly 35 cents per pound When thtf Association began work about a year ago, cotton was selling while the figures were based on a cal und 40c., leaving a margin of 15c. for 25c. Now it is selling for aro culation of only ten cents increase, or a saving of $35,000,000 to the cot ton farmers of the State. As a mat ter of fact, at the present price of cotton, the saving to the farmers, as a result of the effoits of the Cotton Association, is nearing fifty million dollars. So it will be seen that the figures of the first paragraph repre sents an underestimate rather than an exaggeration. There will be those in every com munity, of ceurse, who will say the the Cotton Association had nothing to do with the increase in the price of cotton. The attention of this class ?is called to the fact that more than a year ago, when the Association be gan work, cotton wai slipping down the scale like a streak of lubricated lightning, and farmers were thinking of the days when folks would have to be begged to buy cotton for ten cents per pound. Since the organiza tion of the Association, cotton has been steadily climbing until today it is selling for more than it has sold for since the days of the Civil War. Even the most sceptical will have to admit that some unusual force has caused this increase in price. The American Cotton Association | does not feel that it is asking too j much, or that it is asking for more than the farmers and business men of the State sly>uld be willing to pay to have the organization perpetuat ed, when it asks for only one cent > out of every $6.12 that will be paid for cotton, or one cent out of every ; $1.75 over and above 25 cents per pound being paid for cotton wjien ? the Association began work. It be- ' lieves that every business man would ; jump at a proposition where an in- ! vestment of one cent would bring in $1.74 over and above what he has been getting without making the in vestment. Forty cents cotton is a very elo quent evidence of the efficiency of the American Cotton Association. But, " forty cent cotton has not come to .stay < unless the fanners and business men joins hands wih the American Cot ton Association in the organisation of the greatest marketing organisa tion in the world. Warehouses will have to be built?they do not boild themselves. The Cotton Association is the logical means through which these warehouses will be construct ed during the coming year. Crop reports and market conditions must be furnished the far erms.a -etaoni be furnished the farmers, and tha _ Association is the proper body for doing this work, the drive started ?n Monday and runs through Sat urday. ?

HERTFORD COUNTY'S EXHIBIT AT TARBORO Twelve eastern North Carolina counties were invited to send exhib its to the Coaptal Plain Fair at Tar boro, at the expense of that enter prising Fair Association. Among this number Hertford County was represented. The Hertford exhibit did not lay stress oirthe quantity nor variety but quality of its products, fn this, no other exhibit approached that of this County, special emphasis being laid on the varieties of corn and the cot ton work of the Hertford County farmers, ? There were three entries of corn *in the regular exhibits in the main hall from Hertford and these "three exhibits won two first #nd??ne second prize. The exhibits of four varieties of :otton picked from 100 bolls of each variety was especially attractive. Wannamaker's Cleveland Boll was :ompared wih King's, Cluster and Cook Big Boll, showing 2? ounces >f seed cotton from 100 bolls against 15, 18, and 18 ounces from other varieties in the order named. The imount of anthracose in the Wanna maker's Cleveland Big Boll showed 15 per cent against, 5, 7 and 10 per :ent in the other varieties. The gin ning records showed that the Wanna maker's Cleveland yielded 40 per :ent to 44 per cent lint .while the )ther varieties yielded 36, 34, and 35 oer cent respectively. Orders were taken for 280 bushels >f the seed at $3.00 per bushel and will be turned over t othe Hertford County farmers for delivery. Several orders were taken for pure tired corn, for seed, on the strength of the corn exhibit in the booth. The corn shuck hat, made by one of Hertford's girls was the real at traction for the ladies. It showed how Hertford County is beating the H. C. L. and brought forth many remarks of admiration. Causes for Divorce. ?
