Better Machinery for
Profitable Marketing.
Atlanta, April 4.—A determin
ed forward step in providing ma
chinery for the better and more
. profitable marketing of the cot-
I ton crop, will be taken at the
meeting of Georgia farmers and
business men to be held next
Tuesday, April 12, in the hall of
the House of Representatives in
Atlanta.
It is how assured that this
meeting, the purpose of which
has the indorsement and backing
of the State Department of Ag
riculture and wdich was called
as a result of the recent Elbert
County meeting of farmers which
indorsed the Sapiro or Califor
nia plan, will be largely attended.
Assurances reaching the depart
ment of agriculture indicate that
p actically every Georgia county
will be represented.
‘‘lt is important that represen
tation in this meeting be as com
plete and comprehensive as pos
sible,” said Commissioner J. J.
Brown, “because it will deal with
a situation upon which every
Georgia countv will be asked to
take prompt and definite action.
I mean, of course, the market
ing of our cotton crop under a
plan similar to that now employ
ed Dy the California fruit grow
ers.
“It is the hope and purpose of
the Georgia cotton producing
producers to work out a market
ing plan suited to their own con
ditions and such as shall be em
ployed by other cotton states as
well as Georgia. What is wanted
is to make sure of the orderly
marketing of the cotton crop in
the laws of sup
ply and demand, thus eliminating
exchange raiders and bear specu
lators. and assuring the producer
for all future time, a price which
will give him cost of production
plus a fair and reasonable profit.
“Everyone must realize that in
order successfully to establish
and put. into operation a plan of
this magnitude and importance,
it must have the most widespread
and complete co-operation and
support. Therefore, the necessi
ty for general farm and business
representation from every Geor
gia county will be readily appar
ent. I cannot too strongly urge
that every one interested in a fair
price for cotton and who can
do so, be | resent at this meeting.
.“There is no question in my
mind, with reports coming in
from all over Georgia, that we
are going to have a full 50 per
cent reduction in our cotton
acrerge this year, and possibly
more. Then, with an efficient
marketing in force, we shall 1 e
able to market our own crops on
a fair basis, free from that de
pressing outside interference
which has cost the South so many
millions of dollars in the past.”
