Store" - L0UI8BUR0, NORTH CAROLINA I COTTON GROWERS MEET IN RALEIGH The people of Rjilelgh were given u surprise March 4th when with no 'previous announcemi at. the Hall o! ' Reprcf-entaihtes was filled to iver ^fiow/r.'M with a crow J of cotton grow lers from practically every eo:t->n 'growing county In the State. News paper reporters scratched their heads and asked where they had been to I hare missed the announcement ol such a meeting. They were told that this was c meeting for organised cot ton growers who had met to launch a re-signup of cotton growers on a new marketing agreement to become effective with the marketing of the 1927 crop. The old contract will ex pire with the handling of the 192C crop. Hon. Robert N. Page of Aberdeen, who is Public Dircetor of the North Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative Association, presided and opened the meeting with a short clear cut speech in which he stressed the importance of cooperative marketing and highly commended the work of the directors and the management for the past tout years. W. A. Graham, State Commissioner of Agriculture, in a brief statement, said that he was the first in his coun ty to sign the present contract and that lie was ready to sign another one. He most heartily endorsed the mofement and urges the cotton grow ers to support the new association. E. B. Crow, Vice President of the Commercial National Bank of Raleigh speaking entirely from the banker's viewpoint, expressed his belief in the association and his confidence in the management. He urged the erec tion in Raleigh of a sutable office buildiny which- the cotton growers could call their own and which would to a source of pride to every mem ber of the association. C. O. Moser of Memphis, Tennessee, who is General Manager of the Amerl can Cotton Growers Exchange, deliv ered the keynote address. Mr. Mos er's picture of the growth of coopera tive marketing of cotton sent athrill through the growers as he showed how the movement had grown from a mere idea in the minds of a few r patriotic determined men five years I ago to twelve bl gorganizatlons now , | embracing a membership of approxi mately 300,000 cotton growers today ,with unlimted credit; con(rollng the ' best warehouse facilities in the coun ty and strongly and firmly entrench ed in the confidence of the business ; and farming world. And another thrill went through the growers as he painted the picture of the future of cooperative market ing showing how the growers would ' become more firmly established in business through auxiliary of the co operatives. B. W. Kilgore, President of the North Carolina Cotton Growers Co operative Association, made a brief 1 talk in which he stressed the need | of education and a meens of causing the members to appreciate their as sociation more. W. A. Pierce, of Weldon, Halifax I county, a director of the Cotton Grow | era Association and one of its largest grower members, in reporting for j Halifax county stated that conditions land demands economically o" the farmer of today are practically dou ble what they were a few years ago and urged the growers to do with their marketing what has been done in production, to modernize and not continue to market as their grandads j did. That as growers we attempt to produce two bales of cotton where one used to grow but we hare failed to take any steps to Improve our marketing methods to increase our profits from the growing of cotton. His talk was filled with enthusiasm and sincerity, which thrilled the 600 representative growers In attendance. V. E. Fountain of Tarboro, stated to the conference that while in the beginning he was against cooperative marketing because he felt that it was going to hurt his business, now he is a strong believer and that in his own business at Tarboro, members of the association receive Just a lit tle more cordial welcome and con sideration on the part of his firm than others. He also stated that economic conditions in his section would be more deplorable unless we reduce the acreage of cotton and in crease the feed and food crops, be cause when we increase our produc tion of cotton beyond the consump tion, the lower the prices and if we tre depednedt upon the price of cot ton with which to buy hay and other 'arm supplies which can be profitably trows, we are doing our own selves ind our community an injustice. U. B. Blalock, General Manager of :he North Carolina Cotton Growers cooperative Association did some plain alking about the operation of the lasoclation. Answering those who inay criticise, he stated that only :hree salaried officers of the associa tion draw salaries In excess of $6, >00 per year and that no director tiolds a salaried position. "In organ izing the business and In handling a volume of $60,000,000 of business for Four years and with a membershp of 18.000, the attorneys fees for tho en tire period have been less than $22, >00" said Mr. Blalock, "and the pres ent retainer fees for attorneys are >1200 per annum." The association srill handle 168,000 bales of cotton if the 1026 crop and the season's business will show a reduction of 26 percent In operating costs. He also mentioned thA recently organised Sales Corporation which has Increi id the sales of cotton direct to mills tround 40 percent. At the close of the meeting, it was innounced that 1,000 members repre lentlng more than 16,000 bales of cot on have already signed the new narketlng agreement, thus giving the 'e-slgnup a send-off which practcally nsures its success. A telegram was read from John T. >rr. President of the Texas Cotton 1 rowers Cooperatie Association, was sad at the meeting stating that the sampalgn now under way In Texas rill result in a delivery Of 400,000 ales of cotton in Texas ofxthe 1020 TOP.
