THE TIME HAS COME FOR THE
FARMERS TO STAND BY
THEIR ECONOMIC.
~ ’ *' .RIGHTS,
The fight of the producer of farm
(crops for a larger share of what
the consumers pay is on in earnest.
The middleman is a necessity, but
there have been too many of .thelh
and their methods have been ineffici
ent. They have consequently had to
take too large a toll for the ^set-
vices rendered. A smaller numoer
could have rendered the-s ame ser
vice, even a better service, and
Would have had to take less total
toll for their support.
The best thought of the world to
day is seeking a method of getting
the products. of the farms to the
cosumers at less cost. The efforts
thus far begun seek a more direct
road from the producer to the con
sume; the lessening of tne number
of middlemen and their profits and
more efficient marketing, thereay,
reducing costs and increasing re
turns to the producer while lessen
ing the costs to the consumer.
In the South most attention has
been given to the better marketing
of cotton because it is our most im
portant sales crop. The progress
jnade in organizing a better method
Of selling the producer’s cotton has
been rapid and it has now developed
to such dimensions that it is. at
tracting the attention of cotton
brokers and speculators, of the vast
numbers of cotton middlemen.
Naturally, but unwisely, these mid
dlemen have become alarmed at the
dangers of losing* some of their past
privileges and profits, and have be
gun a concerted, unfair campaign to
block and destroy the farmers co
operative marketing of cotton. They
overlook the fact that economic laws
are forcing a better marketing
cotton and foolishly think they can
scotch the wheels of progress for
their own selfish gain. Fair busi
ness competition is the only method
they can effectively use to check the
growth and success of the co-opera
tive marketing of cotton. If the
present cooperative methods oi
marketing cotton are economically
sound they will succeed in spite of
the efforts of speculators and .middie
men. If they aren ot sound they will
fail without the unfair fight whicn
is being waged against them.
No combination of selfish interest
no amount of falsehood and mis
representation or manipulation
the markets, can kill the cooperative
marketing of cotton if the principles
are sound and are followed with
ordinary business judgment. In fact,
the sort of fight the cotton middle
men are now waging against the co
oeratives can and will serve n otn
er purpose than to stimulate farm
ers to greater efforts, to unite them
.n purpose and effort and to arouse
in them all the fight or waicii Hon
est, free men are- capable. If there
ever was a time when farmers
should join iri a solid body to figiit
ror their economic rights, it is now.
If there ever was ,a campaign
against their interests (-put on and
conducted by unfair memods it is
the campaign of abuse ana misrep
resentation now being pur on. by the
cotton’ middlemen to smash the farm
ers cooerative marketing of cot-
con.
The policy of the cooperative mar
keting association has been to at
tack no one, to engage in nothing
except clean high-class b usiness
competition and to recognize the
right of the middleman to fair pay
for a service rendered. But this does
not suit the cotton speculators and
brokers. The success of the coopera
tive shows plainly that the cotton
middleman has been taking a toS
too large for the service rendered
and the middlemen alreaay see the
handwriting on the wall. But unfair
tactics and misrepresentation never
permanently won by any fight for
special privileges.
We miss our guess very much if
the sort of fight the cotton middle
men are utting on does not arouse
the farmers of the South to a point
where they will unite in one solid
body to fight and fight hard and ef
fectively for the - right to market
their own cotton. Only a lack of
knowledge of all the facts prevents
90% of the. farmers of tne South
putting their cotton in the hands of
their cooperative marketing as
ciations. Such action would prevent
manipulation of the markets by
seculaitors and stabilize the market
under the law of supply and demand
to the benefit of the producers, spin
ners and consumers. The wonder is
that at least the producers and spin
ners do not see this anct realize that
no power 'on earth can destroy the
cooperatives, because they are fun
damentally sound in economics.
The time has coie fdr every farm
er to show on which side he stands.
If under present conditions, he: will
not join the fight fdr his economic
rights he does not deserve economic
fre'edom.

> ADVERTISING GEORGIA
Atlanta, Ga.—The South, includ
ing the rich state of Georgia, is
waiting up to the infinite possibili
ties of its idle lands and has begun
to capitalize them. Witness tliere-

pointed out here by railroad freight
agents.
. On the other hand since 1921 it is
claimed there has been an increase
of about three billions of dollars a
year in the value of farm products,
which is four times as great as the
total freight charges paid on them.
