Oklahoma Cotton Growers
For Co-operative Growing,
Warehousing and Marketing
An Oklahoma City Dispatcn to the
Manufacturers Record says:
TWO million cotton growers, sev
eral thousand cotton buyers and
| merchants and allied business inter
: ests throughout the Southern States
fare more or less interested in the co
l operative organization plan of the
(Oklahoma Cotton Growers’ Associa
tion, which is now being put over.
The plan provides for the :o-cpcra-l
itive growing, warehousing, grading, j
i stapling and sellings of a minimum,
1300,000 bales of the Oklahoma crop 1
of cotton for a period of seven years
beginning in the fall cf 1921. Only
the actual cotton farmers and land
lords who receive cotton as rent can
be members of the a-.siociation.
Most of the cotton buyers, com
mission merchants and some bank
ers say the plan will not work. Near
ly all of the cotton growers, half of
!the bankers, most of the country
merchants and all of the agricultural
extension workers and bureau of
markets forces say the plan will
work. .The drive is on. Five months,
from August through December, are
to be devoted to the preliminary
campaign—lining up . the business
and holding meetings and spreading
the gospel of the co-operative plan
all over the 53 counties, so the farm'
folks will be in a favorable mood and
ready to sign up when the seven
year agreements are passed, around
next January, February, March and
April.
Leaders in the movement are hav-;
ing no trouble getting all the ad- [
vance money they need from the]
banks, business men and large farm
ers. It is estimated that the cam
paign between now and January will
cost upwards of SIOO,OOO.
The plan was drawn up by Aaron
Sapiro of San Francisco, legal coun
sel for 14 of the large co-operative
farmers’ organizations on the Pacific
coast, which have over 80,000 grow
er members and co-operatively han
dle and sell more than $300,000,000 !
of farm products annually. Mr. Sa
piro has been employed as counsel
for the Oklahoma ( otton Growers’
Association, and vill make >n occas
ional trip to Oklahoni to help the
organizing forces keep things going
straight. The association has also
employed S. G. Rubio >w >f North
Carolina, as full-time secretary. Mr.
Rubinow, who was formerly assist
ant director of extension and also
director of the North Carolina cam
paign for the American Cotton Asso
ciation, is now on the job 'n Okla
homa. Other chief workers on the
plan in Oklahoma include Eugene P.!
Gum, secretary of the Oklahoma■
Bankers’ Association; N. R. Graham,
.of the Exchange National Bank, of
Tulsa, D. N. Fink, of the Commercial
National Bank, of Muskogee; Carl
Williams, editor of the Oklahoma
<Farmer-Stockman; J. H, Conners,
large merchant, planter and banker
of Canadian; J. A. Whitehurst, presi
dent of the State Board of Agricul
ture; J. A. Wilson, director of farm
'extension in Oklahoma; Walter Col
, bert, farmer and merchant of Ard
: more, and many others. There is
|no lack of leaders, and about every
i farmer, big and little, yet heard from
has expressed himself favorably and
is a community worker and booster
for the plan.
This is not to be an association
run by amateurs. When the asso
ciation is ready to start business it
will hire the ablest managers obtain
able in this country. They are al-!
ready talking about paying a gen-!
eral manager $15,000 to $25,00 a
year, if necessary. And every em- 1
ploye of the association will be a real
cotton man, a specialist in his line.
The Oklahoma association realizes'
that farmers are producing cotton
all the year and have no time to de
vote to the marketing end of the
business; therefore, it will hire ‘mar
keting brains’—all it needs. They;
figure it will not cost the farmers
and their association any more to
hire ‘brains’ than it now costs the 1
big buying and commission firms. The!
Oklahoma association will maintain
offices at New York, New Orleans,'
Liverpool, Manchester, Havre and
other points, if necessary, and they
say it will be necessary.
Four or five field men are now go
ing about the state spreading facts
and figures about the association. As
time goes on more of these field men
will be put to work. The county
agents in the cotton counties of Ok
lahoma have virtually been ‘turned
over’ to the Oklahoma Cotton Grow
ers’ Association during the campaign
period. The way things look now,
the association will go over without
a hitch.
The Oklahoma plans is entirely;
different from the plan of the Am
erican Cotton Association. The Ok
lahoma plan is really the California
plan of co-operatively growing, hand
ling and selling prunes, eggs, lemons,
cantaloupes and raisins, only the
plan is revised and switched around
to make it directly and specifically
adapted to the co-operative gbpv»-
ing, handling And selling of Okla
homa’s cotton crop.
The Oklahoma association will in-'
corporate and start business when;
growers of 300,000 bales of cotton'
have been secured as members. If:
the organizing forces fail to obtain
that many members, it is a question
whether it will stop or go ahead. The
AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
leaders are not counting on any fail-'
ure; they firmly believe growers of
500,000 bales, or about half of the
state’s crop, will be signed up dur
ing the Jenuary-to-April membership
campaign.
Here is what the association pro-!
poses to do:
It will grade, class, staple and;
weigh each bale. This will place a!
true value on the cotton in terms of!
quality.
It will warehouse and store cotton!
'wherever and whenever necessary.
This will at once reduce the tremen
dous loss from country damage.
It will warehouse and store cotton (
in even running lots, each grade,
class and staple within its own pool.
This will insure a higher price than
can be obtained in any other way.
It will sell on its own samples and
warehouse certificates. This will!
again reduce another heavy loss,
known as the “city crop.”
It will sell collectively and only!
when the market demands it. This
will at once reduce speculation.
It will sell its cotton directly to!
the spinners as possible. This will
eliminate some of the present waste- ;
; ful methods.
I It will determine the cost of pro-j
( duction. This will assist a!
| price that will be satisfactory to both j
! producer and .consumer.
It will eneburage and develop the!
! co-operative production of uniform]
and standard varieties. This will as-;
■ sist still 'further in pool selling and'
(in securing a better price, or a larg-i
; er percentage of the price the spinner
I pays for cotton.
It will advise with growers on pro
duction methods and problems. This
! will be essentially helpful and prof
! itable.
The association will own its ware
' houses, and there will be as many
warehouses as necessary at every;
point where enough cotton is brought;
in to be warehouses. Where are!
they going to get the money to build
these warehouses? Bankers of Ok-!
lahoma have already indicated very]
clearly that legal contracts calling
for the delivery of at least 300,000
bales of cotton a year for seven years
make pretty good security, and the
organizers are not worrying about
finances, once the association is put
on its feet with enough memberships
to start with.
