State organizations of the Farmers' union in Virginia, Georgia and other southern States have already endors ed the co.ODerative marketing ton and tobacco under the California r commodity plan and the action of the North Carolina Farmers Union makes it practically unanimous. Thisendorsement i expected to make it possible for the co-operative associations to refh a ! of about 75 per cent of the tobacco luuuuciion oi jsiorth Carolina and to greatly increase the amount of cot ton to be handled by the association. The resolution of the State Farm ers Union follows:, "Whereas, experience has demon strated that most successful and sat isfactory results have been achieved in the sale of farm product, through commodity marketing associations: and "Whereas, co-operation has been the fundamental purpose of the Farmers Union in its campaigns in North Carolina for more than a de cade; therefore be it "Resolved, by the North Carolina Farmers'; Union, that we extend, our moral support and . commend ' the campaign- to organize commodity marketing associations in North Carolina under the pooling contract -.I-- ,. .. . .... .. PREDICTS WORLD - - COTTON SHORTAGE Senator Smith Bases Prediction On Figures On Cotton Consumption. Prediction of a world shortage of cotton next summer was made in the U, S. Senate the other day by Sena tor Smith, Democrat, South Carolina, in a speech analyzing the statistics on cotton consumption for7 October, made public by the Census Bureau. Should the rate of consumption for the ensuing months equal or exceed that of October, he said, there would not be a bale of American cotton in existence by next August 1. In , the course of his speech, Mr. Smith digressed to discuss what he said wan the failure vf rnncrpssinnnl action intended to aid the farmers asserting that it seemed the only hope for the agricultural interests lav in the formation nf their nwn co-operative selling agencies and the establishment of their own, bank3. He added that relief lecAation thus far had been converted each time into "breast works behind which the interests opposed to the farmers entrenched themselves to destrov the farmers' profits." Exports and domestic consumption oi cotton ior October aggregated 1, 366.000 bales, acenrdinc in the Sena tor, constitutes a record for monthly 1 . a. disposition oi tne product. "At that rate." he continued, "the . , v .. . h exports ana consumption between last August 1 and next August 1 will be more than sixteen million bales and the best estimate of the visible sunolv that can be obtained shows only about twelve and a half or tnirteen million bales." A carry-over of about five million bales was estimated by Mr. Smith while this year's crop he believed would not exceed seven million bales. He made his figures liberal, he added, but found no way to bring the two totals anyway together. Mr. Smith reviewed the many "criseji" which he said had forced the cotton prices down and told the Senate that all of the "menacing things foreseen by the trade, includ ing the raiLfiptrike," had been put out of the way, yet the price remain ed low. He declared, however, that the country never would see cotton ell an low acAin. emTPHsinc the ne- hef that American cotton crops here after would fall below the ten year average, which he said was slightly above twelve million-bales. v.;. v" Messrs.
