COTTON GROWERS ASSOCIATION Reduction of the minimum hale re quirement to make its membership con tracts effective from 300,000 to 200,000 bales, and extension of the time limit within this minimum must be secured from January 1, 1922. to April 1, 1922. constitute sweeping changes in the plans of the Georgia Cotton Growers Co-operative association, announced through Director of the organization, A. A. Elmore, Monday morning. Mr. Elmore gave out a written state ment explaining the purposes of the change which is set forth below: ‘<The greatest, almost the onlj cause of hesitancy toward signing the ‘association contract and paying the necessary membership fee, which we have encountered anjong the farmers recently has been the feeling of doubt as to whether the association could ego over”’ within the time limit set, -considering the temporary loss to the association of a whole! strip across the middle of the state where the devasta tion wrought by the boll weevil has been so great that vast numbers of the farmers believe now that they will nev er raise another stalk of cotton. By this extension, giving us three additional months in which to work and giving us a minimum bale require ment of which practically fifty per cent has already been secured, the .successful completion of the associa tion becomes thoroughly assured ami this ground of hesitancy removed. It is always easier to obtain membership in a completed organization than in a contingent one, and we wish to reach the point of completion at the easi est possible date. We are about to launch a great new campaign, in which we will have the assistance of the American Cotton 'Growers’ Exchange and other forces and we wish to start this new drive under the most favorable auspices. ,We hope to pass our new minimum .within two or three weeks after the new' drive is started, and to keep up the work without let-up until we have .Signed fifty per cent of the cotton growers of the state.” Miss Elizabeth Smith, of Hoganville, fcpent Sunday in Widner the guest of her brother, Mr. W.
