COTTON GROW ERS OF
N. C. END THEIR FIRST
• YEAR OF "MARKETING
Raleigh, August 7. —The close of the
tirst \ear of o|»eration shows that the
North Carolina Cotton Growers Co
operative Association ha ra-ceiveal
t_ll hales of cotton, approximately
eighta-en |>erceiit of tlie to'al fixp of
the State—a fairly good showing for
tlie first year anal a larger pa-recent
age than is shown in the reports a»f
any cooperative cotton association in
the South.
To the n»eml»er~, the association has
advanced a total of 2 cents a |ioui»t
l«asis middling, on all short, stapla
wtia>n. The bulk of this cotton has
laeen 01.l and General Hlalock hope
to close out the remainalet onal make
a final settlement before the new crop
hegm." to move. It is impossible, s«l
Mr. Blalock. to give an exact state
mint but I believe that members of
the association vritt mriw' hefween
SIJ"U and s2o,t> a bale more for
their cotton than the average receive.!
by noa-members.
I»ng staple cotton has not been
marketable and advances of L'J cent.-
a iMiuiial have been made on all cotton
of this character received. Further
settlements will lie made as soon a
more can l»e made. In this cam
na-ction, Mr. Blalock states that North
Carolina cotton farmers would te ba-t
