COOPERATIVE MARKET
ING IN A NITSHELL
Rapid progress i.; reported in the
"Sign-I'p CampaigiV' for cooperative'
marketing of cotton now in progress
■all over, forth Carolina. Whereas the
contract called for a minimum of
_'O0,IMI() bales to be-signed up by Janu
A ry 1, growers of nearly 300,000 hale
have already signed up.«
In a statement ju:t i sut'd by lead
fis of the Collon (.'rowers' .Cooper
litivc Association from the Stale head
quarter*, italcigh, they ask cot lon
growers everywhere to study the fol
lowing comparison ot\the .present
marketing system and the proposed
cooperative marketing plan. These
leaders say;that thi• parallel presents
the whole case in a nutshell and t
the most concise statement of the eo
operative maiket'ing program '. e\«i

Who coift col - present system"'
Spinners, speculators and gamblers.
Cost of operating present system ?
The producer pays the profits and
expenses of all the long line of buy
 is and dealers who operate between
him an«l the mills, and he also pays
for an average of eight samples per
bale, for weather damage, and many
other wasteful and unnece^ary
charges.
What Is the present selling plan?
-"Humping" as soon as .harvested,
which forces a year's supply nt cot
ton on the market in four or five
months, and enevltubly "breaks" the
market.
What is financing method of pres

None so far as the producer is con
