rhoma* t;. McCleod, governor of South
Carolina; Austin I'eay, governor of
Tennessee; T. C. McKae. governor of
Arkan,a* and A. M. Hyda, governor
of Missouri. ha\e joined in a joint
procUunaUon calling on the farimrv
of the sou -IK- i n states to stand loy
*»y by the principles of cooperative
marketing. Tnese men agree that the
old. system of dumpirug the cotton
crop on the market w thin Ml days af
ter the crop is hai vested means a tre
mendous loss to ti»e farmer.
The proclamation follows.
Whereas the south for muro than
three generations has produced the
majority of the coUun u-ed in cloth
ing the world and nnereas the pro
duction of this great world necessity
has enriched cotton merchant.*, ex
porters. brokers, manufacturers, while
it has left tne south struggling ag
aiast poveity and a low -tandar.l
of livinig, returi.iing to the growers
'i* cvdton such a small portion
of the t rente ridou> wealth which they
have created, that the average cotton
grower's family has been compelled
to live on lerv> than fIW a year.
Whereas it is now realised that
this condition has brought about by
the practice of dumping the whole
crop on the market during the months
of harvesting. thus breaking the mar
ket. ami
Wh.r*j it| has been demonstrated
that by marketnig cotton in aa or
lerly manner, throughout the > ear as
nccle-i, a ja-t price can be maiiiitaiaed
and a fairer share of the consumers
dallar will be realized by the produr
"■ thus mVlii" the producer to im
prove his standard of living, and
Hhereas it is now generally recog
nised by the leading economists, the
bankers ami bu.-iness man of the Unit
ed States, that something must be
•ione to bring the agricultural pio
durers into a state of greater pros
pent) in order to maintain an equil
ibrium of population between town and
country, aa Well a* a more stable
ecunotror ami .octal commit ion in the
interest of the future welfare of all
the peoplr, ami whereas the presi
dent of the I nited States, the con.
gress of the l iiitnl States, and thv
legislatures of the ri>ttori producing
sUtes, have appioted the plan of co
operative marketing through their vol
untary tatemM.ts in the belief tha»
this mu> i» nrcded iinpiovement in the
fiiuiarial eoioliti«.i, o! the cotton grow
er can be t be realized through their
rooperati'* in marketing their pro
ducts .ami
Whereas the Cotton Marketing as
soriatlotis ia each of the 12 princi
pal cotton producing states iu thrs
countr> are now conducting a nation
wide campaign for increasing their
member -tup and extending the
fits of cooperative marketing to a
largely increased . number of cotton
growers, theie/ore we, the governors
of the states of Alabama, Arkansas.
Georgia. Missouri. South Carolina, a*d
Tenae-seo believing in the soundness
of this t>pe of organizotion ami in
the justice of the farmers combining
to promote their economic interests,
do hen by call upon all classes of
oar membership to inform themselvc*
of thi- great economic movement and
to assut in every practical way in
the successful culmination of the re
spective state membership campaigns,
with the bnpa and to the end that our
people may benefit by their intelli
gent cooperation the same as has
been the case with the farmers in
California and other sections of the
United States. wha-« success has been
rewarded by a standard of living and
civilisations worthy of tha history affct
the tradition- of oar people.
