Mr. W. H. Brrton. County Farm Demonstrator, Rockingham, N. C. Dear Sir : At this time, I know of no proposition, which holds for the farmers any hope or prospect for success in farming in the South, other than the cooperative market ing movement. Unless a sufficient margin of profit can be assured to the farmer- in the sale of the products of his toil, then, in my opin ion, farming is doomed in this section and country life must go backward in stead of forward. As I understand it, it is the purpose of this movement to assure such profit to the farmer. I have investigated the principal and operation of this movement sufficienUy to convince me that it is right and work able. I am writing you, therefore, to say that I am heartily in favor of it.and hope to see it succeed. Yours very truly, B. F. REYNOLDS, Cashier The Bankof Rockingham. Rockingham, N. C, June 25th, 1921 Mr. F. W. Dixon, Rockingham, N. C. Dear Sir : I have be:n greatly interested in read ing the newspaper references to the movement in our State to organize the Cotton Farmers Co-operative Marketing Association. I have also read the Ash ciation Agreement and the Marketing Agreement which they are asked to sign. From my examination I have formed a favorable opinion of the movement and sincerely hope it will succeed. I am es pecially anxious to see our leading farm ers and business men join this associa tion and give it the benefit of their busi ness experience. The plan seems to me ta be practical and fair, and I see no reason why it cannot be worked success fully and made of untold benefit to the South's greatest industry. With best wishes fcr success. Yours truly, W. L. PARSONS, Pres't. The Bank of Pee Dee. Mr.W. H. Barton, County Demonstration Agent, Richmond County, Rockingham, N. C. Dear Sir: I have heard rliariistuvi in rh conventiong of the American Bankers Association ana tne North Carolina Bank ers Association, the ulan nf mll-Ki bargaining or co-operative marketing ui me pruuuets oi ine r armers. This plan has for several years worked successfull in the West and I learn that renewed contracts for a longer period have been recently made. 1 endorse any plan that means benefit and helo of the farmer ; n anv way and as a banker I believe that if we hope to get interest from the farmer we must put interest in him and his crops and co-operate with him. Very truly yours, LEAKE S. COVINGTON. Cashier of Farmers Bank. We are asking that each farmer do no more than a three-day-old pig would do. The pig lies close to his litter-mates with NO idea of keeping them warm. He does it to keep warm himself, but the act incidently keeps his mates warm also. If pigs can cooperate, certainly fr-mers can. SIGNUP, not for your neighbor's benefit, but for your own. If everybody does this, all will be benefitt and all interests will be support As the price of cotton goes, so goes everything. W. H. Barton.
