WOODSTOCK SUNDAY
Last Sunday afternoon at the in
vitation of the men of the Baptist
church at Woodstock, some twenty-
five or thirty men from Canton
Baptist church and Sunday School
journeyed down to Woodstock to a
men’s meeting.
Several very interesting talkR
were made, both by Woodstock and
Canton men, along the line of the
duty of Christian men to their God,

seeming to point to the need of
more co-operation on the part of all
church people and good citizens, and
this co-operative spirit being so
manifest at this meeting, there ori
ginated the idea of a County Co
operative Association to be compos
ed of Christians of all denomina
tions to be organized for the pur
pose of bringing the Christian men
of our County closer together and
to make more effective their work
for God and their county. It was
unanimously agreed by those pres
ent that The Cherokee County Co
operative Assoiation be formed, and
a committee to be appointed by the
Chairman to work out the details,
such as by-laws, etc., for the As
sociation.
A more complete account of this
Association and its purposes will
l»e published later when their plans
are perfected.

farmers sharply to the fact that dur

to 4 cents a pound now, and that a

scarce.
“As most of you know I have been

the proofs are' too positive
vvhelming at this time for any farm-
?r to doubt that we must produce
cotton of a better staple if we are to
succeed. Cottons of shorter staple
(staple les than an inch) have been
introduced all over the cotto illicit,
and owing to their high yield of lint
they have gained favor greatly to
the financial undoing of the farmer.
That such a mistake was easy to
make is perfectly logical on first
though and was not confined to the
small farmer by any means. That
some of our largest and best farm
ers made the mistake and will con
tinue to do so for a few more year*
does not alter the facts in the case
nor replace the losses incurred from
the practice. Neither does it remove
any other farmer’s obligations to
himself and family nor excuse hi;
business judgment at a time when
any can easily see the hadwriting on
the wall if he will.
“Every farmer will agree with
me that to make cotton at a profit

the facts are that we are lotting
more today from the quality" and
length of staple and the mefhod of
handling and marketing than we are
from, the ravages of the dreadful
boll weevil. That we are losing most
of this through neglect of quality
and length of staple I dn*not doubt.
“The day of reckoning is at hand,
as weshall presently see from the
proof I will submit and which is only
a sample of a hundred T could sub
mit if space permitted. When T
mention length of staple I have re
ference, of course, only to the dif
ferent length of short staple and
not to long staple cotton. Practically
all farmers of this section know, a*
well as I do that much cotton is be
ing grown at the present time with
staple of 5-8 to 7-8 inch. They know
varieties these are. They know also
that there are others which run an

“This shows a difference of 3 1-4
cents, according to length of lint
which is certainly enough to merit
Lhe earnest consideration of every
farmer in Cobb county. In practice
the diffeence would be even greater
if we had a reputation of growing a
very fine staple. These changes arc
not brought about in a day, hut as
surely as we continue to grow cotton
and continue we will, it has got to
come, and the sooner the better.
“There was a time when a man
could be proud that he was handling
north Georgia cotton as it was the
standard by which most of the mills
