PRESIDENT GEORGIA COTTON
GROWIERS IN FORCEFUL AD
DRESS IN CORDELE
Mr. J. E. Conwell, president of the
Georgia Cooperative Cotton Market-
Association addressed a meeting of
farmers, bankers, and business men
at the court house this morning and
%is remarks were so impressive that
hiz audience was held perfectly still
for ovet an hour. listening to the
stery of how he and his associates
had handled the great association of
which he is head.
He was introduced by Secretary
John Greer of the Board of 'Trade
who told the story of Mr. Conwell's
life. He started life on a poor wash
ed-away farm in North Georgia,
made his land rich wili dairy cattle
and finally when he was elected
president of this association, he had
enough out of that farm to be called a
successful farmer. -
Mr. Conwell told the audience that
’he did not know anything about co
operative marketing when he started
‘but that he knew how to hire the
best men that could be had on that
subject and by having these men
serve the different associations, he
7got }heir §ervices at a very low cost
and by cooperative service, the dif
ferent cotton associations in twelve
states had the hest service in the
xworld. but at the lowest cost. This
was true in book-keeping, in grading
and in salesmen. He said the best
cotton salesman in the world was
Chesley Howard, of Atlanta, serving
all the cotton associations in the
'country, and Georgia paid only about
two thousand dollars of his salary.
He told how he had sold this idea
of coorerative marketing to the At
lanta bankers and then to the Geor
gia bankers and how the banks all
over the country were working with
the cooperatives to make it a success
At first it was difficult to get money
to finance but now every bank in the
country is helping to finance the as
sociation. A committee had recently
been to New York and the biggest
bank in that city had agreed to
loan. the Cooperatives from fifteen
to fifty million dollars to handle the
coming crop.
He said the Association now had
offices in Bremen, Liverpool, Havre
and other foreign cities for selling
cotton. several in the United States
and that the Cooperatives had re
cently sold over four thousand bales

BITE OF TINY COAL SNAKE
MORE DEADLY THAN RATTLER
Tuscon, Ariz., July 17.—The cor
al snake, so small it is not considered
dangerous. has the deadliest poison
of any sneKke found in this part of
the southwest, Dr. Charles T. Vor
hies, head of the department of bi
ology at the University of Arizona,
said in a recent lecture here.
The coral, the annulated snake,
and the rattlesnake are the only
types of poisonous snakes in this re
gion, Dr. Vorhies explained. The
annulated snake is rarely found, he
added, so that people are in little
danger of peing bitten by any va
riety except the rattlesnake.
In his opirion, the gila monster
has poison less dangerous than that
of the rattlesnake. Despite popular
opinion to the contrary, the cam
pomacha, an insect, the vinegaron
and the Child of the Desert are harm
less creatures, the scientist stated,
