North Georgia Farmers Suffer
From Introduction Of Infer
ior Cotton Varieties
Movement To Restore Reglene PUpirt*
tlon For Cotton Fiber Of Superior
Length and Strength It
New On
By C. A. VRITTLB
For a long time North Georgia cot
ton meant a staple of aa Inch and bet
tor, silky and strong,— a cotton with a
world wide reputation. Bayers were
eager to get It —so eager that they were
willing to pay a premium for it.
But a chahge has come about. Buy
ers are finding it difficult t* get old
time North Georgia cotton. They must
have lint of good length, hut they axe
not able to find much of It li North
Georgia. Consequently the buyers are
going to Arkansas to got staple that
North Georgia can grow, has grown and
ought to be growing.
"Give us the length,” say the millers,
‘’and we will pay more for the North
Georgia cotton than for cotton of aim
liar length grown anywhere elae.”
Will North Georgia farmers take up
their offer?
When North Georgia farmers under
stand what must be done, It It believed
they will be eager to join la a united
effort to restore to North Georgia the
reputation which it has bees losing.
Why hare North Georgia cottons been
losing their length of staple? It Is be
cause many different and inferior
strains of cotton have been brought in
to the territory. These etrains have
mixed with the old line varieties to
produce a mongrel cotton that can no
longer yield the superior staple.
Realizing the economic loss that this
part of the south is suffering as a con
sequence of this misfortune, a campaign
has been inaugurated to help the farm
er get seed of varieties that will bring
North Georgia back nnto Its own. In
this campaign cotton buyers, bankers,
the agricultural college with its county
agents, cotton mity men and leading
farmers are joining.
To get right down to practical things
the Atlanta Commercial exchange in At
lanta has undertaken without expense
for its service, to carry on a campaign
to interest bankers and business men in
each town to assist the farmer to pur
chase seed by extending loane or
credit.
In order that the movement toward
bettor types of cotton may not go amiss,
the cotton buyers, after consulting agri
cultural authorities, cotton, mill men and
farmers, have listed four leading va
rieties of cotton: Cleveland (any good
strain), College No. 1, Acala and Row
den. All these varieties have ranked
at the top for quantity of yield, desir
able length of lint and adaptation to
boll weevil conditions in North Georgia.
In furtherance of its plans, the ex
change has undertaken to meet the
demand for seed of these varieties.
They have enlisted the aid of the banks
and the Cotton Storage Finance Cor
poration, of Atlanta. The banks are to
finance the purchase of seed for their
respective regions. The Cotton Storage
Finance Corporation offers free storage
space for accommodating the distribu
tion of seed from the Atlanta headquar
ters.
An important part of the campaign
Is to get all the farmers of a com
munity to use only one variety of cot
ton. If this is done, the seed will re
main pure and the exchange will be in
position to market these pure seed to
advantage next year and subsequent
years, if the farmers so desire.
Farmers who wish to get seed of the
varieties mentioned may take the mat
ter up with their county agent, or local
banker and arrange for a co-operative
order of sesd which the Atlanta Com
mercial exchange offers to fill without
cost for the service rendered.
What assurance has the farmer that
he will get a better price for his cotton
If he grows the better staple?
The best assurance Is the record ol
the prices received each day on the
markets. Take the government’s report
of cotton sales in Georgia November 1.
On the Atlanta market strict middling
of 1 to 1 1/16 inch brought 20 cents,
strict middling 1 inch brought 25 3/8
cents, 7/8 to 1 inch 24 cents, 3/4 inch
22 3/4 cents.
When cotton of the shorter grade
goes on the market in North Georgia
it Gomes’ in contact with Chinese and
India cotton, cotton that is raised by
cooly labor, the lowest paid labor In
the world.
A recdnt trade report showed that
while longer staples of cotton were sell
lug at 25 1/2 to 26 1/2 cents, Chinese
cotton was selling at 18 1/2 to 22 1/2
cents and India cotton at 17 1/2 cents.
Such records are the surest evidence
that growing the longer staple pays.
