Bidldiiig spit gdbs of pnvwnent hy'vfrtae of, power ined .bi that mortgage thelfltuday of Blar^, \ COOPERATIVE MARKETING Since the Civil War farmers bad a hard time living- In fact they merely existed. Prices of farm produce were so low there was little chance for them to get ahead. When the World War came, prices mounted, and folks who ' had never had a full living be fore, lived like people should They bad good rations and good clothing. But in 1920 the bot^ tom fell out The business world, joined by all officialdom, cried “Back to Normalcy,” and down everything tumbled. Prices went back to the pre- . war-levels, and went to stay; that is, prices of crude materials, but living expanses stayed up and a cry of distress arose from tb^whole South. The West had V a fixed price for wheat, and the slump missed that section. But distress'^me there also, after their five years special favor had ended It is said that that call back to normalcy cost Southern cotton ' growers eleven billion dollars. The country was in distress. A movement was made to organize cotton growers’ co operative markeving aseociations These associations were or ganized in' several states. By law an association was chartered in this state, aftd has since func tioned. Powers to market coU 1 ton, negotiate loans, and do busi ness very much after the regular factors’ house order. Contracts were made covering a five year period, but arrangements were made later for shorter term con tracts. In this state for three years of the five year contracts, those in the association received better average prices for their cotton than outsiders, but the fourth year, 1925, the association held its cotton for better prices too long, add sold on a declining market, so people on the outside, who sold all last fail, got better average prices than menrbers of the association. This has caused (iissatisfaction among the mem bers. Remember the business of the association is^ managed by a board of directors, like a bank, and some yr^re for selling last fall and some were for holding for higher prices. The associ ation sold some and held some, but on that held they got a low price. But the low prices would have arrived earlier, had the as * sociation sold out last fall. Those fanners, not members of the as* association, who held, got caught too. Those who have sold this year have gotten less than the association members. This is the last year of the present contract. We believe the association has' helped to boost the price of cotton. In time of peace, none of us have seen as good average prices for cotton in our lives. These prices could not have been produced by the law of supply and demand, for the law existed all the while, and the average price of cotton prior to the organization of tfie asso datioDs was much lower than it has been since. Theb, its exis taoce, ita operation, is the only common sense—business sense. , Will the farmers continue the (Operation of the association, or will (bey let it die with the clos ing year!
