WASHINGTON
The story of how a few far
mers got together and built a
170,000 cooperative cotton gin
at Marion, Ark., is reported by
A. H. Fuhr in the August issue of
“News for Farmer Coopera
tives,” a publication of the Farm
Credit Administration.
Fuhr, an administrative offi
cer of FCA, says it took two
yeats of explaining and pleadiqg
by John Gammon, farmer and
president of the County Negro
Business League, and other
farm leaders to get the project
started. And even then some of
the fanners wanted to back out
because they were afraid of the
reaction of the other three gin-
ners in Marion.
But the leaders of the co-op
thought that the colored farmers
ought to have their own gin.
Finally by the spring of 1948,
they had succeeded in raising
$30,000 which they plunked
down on a $70,000 modem gin.
In September of the same year,
the first bale of cotton rolled on
to the platform, and the co-op
was in business.
Not a single one of the other
ginners has ever said a word
against the co-op. Gammon re
ports. And the gin has made
money every year, enough to
pay dividends to the 45 pre
ferred stockholders, and allow
• rebate of $9.90 a bale on all
cotton ginned by both common
and preferred stockholders.
There are 75 of Uie former.
On an averace, tke gUt has
bcMi processinc about 2,000
bales of cotton a year. At pre
sent, it takes 1,300 bales to meet
all obligations. The rate for
ginning is about $12 per bale.
FAIIH WATER
SYSTEMS NEED
PLANNING
RALEIGH
A carefully planned and effi
cient water system can save
work and speed up ftuin opera
tions in addition to adding to the
comfort, safety, and convenience
of farm living, says Durham
county agent J. C. Hubbard.
Hubbard points out that it is
well to plan for increased con
sumption in estimating
amount of water that a new or
enlarged power system will be
called upon to furnish, ex
perience shows that farm fami
lies use more water when it is

Never before have so many smokers been The3r’re made of fine tobacco—fine, ligh^ milH
