SELLING COTTON CALIFORNIA PLAN President American Cotton Growers’ Exchange Gives Information. Carl Williams, of Oklahoma City, President of the American Cotton Growers’ Exchange, rep resenting the giant cotton Tco-op erative marketing units operating this year in the' western cotton belt, and Chairman of.the Board of Directors of the* Oklahoma Cotton Growers’ Association, whose thirty-fiye thousand mem bers are this year selling their cotton on the California plan, let fall some interesting information in Atlanta Wednesday as to the kind of men who control such great marketing enterprizes, once they are formed and ready for operation. Mr. Williams, together with other officials of the American Cotton'.Growers’ Exchange, has been’in*Atlanta for the past few days, conferring with leaders of the Georgia Cotton Growers Co operative Association, which is about to launch a new member ship'drive in this fstate, in the course of which it will receive substantial! assistance from the national.leaders of .the California plan co-operative marketing movement for cotton. And he had occasion to discuss the direc torate of the Oklahoma Associa tion, in reference to some of the problems of the. Georgia Organi zation Committee. One'of the members of'the Georgia 'organization ’committee was discussing the difficulty of getting certain-farmers and busi ness men to understand the fact that the grodp which'.organizes a co-operative marketing associa tion on the pure California plan cannot possibly dominate the af fairs of the association once its organization is complete; and , that’its control falls completely into the hands of elected repre- the member farm ers, in the selection of whom ev ery member has one vote. “The point you are seeking to make clear," said Mr. Williams, “is certainly plain enough on the face of the membership contract itself. But, lam wondering if the experience of the Oklahoma Cotton Growers’ Association would not prove it once.’and for all. “In Oklahoma, we have a Board of eleven directors, repre senting ten'districts of equal membership in the]'state, with one public director appointed by the state government to repre sent the public. The Association was organized by an organization committee of seventeen promin ent men. Os the seventeen, only two are on the'present Board of Directors, elected by the growers. “Not one of the .'directors holds a political office, and all are cot ton producers whose principal businesses farming. The other Board took some aver ages about itself. Its average weight is 176 pounds, its average age is 49 years, it members have lived In Oklahoma for an average of 26 years and 3 months, they farm an average of 707 acres of land apiece and 183 acres of cot ton, and they average a fraction more than four children to the man.

The highest price a car was $1,150] and the average worth of a car was SSOO. “If we consider that watermel ons belong somewhat to the lux ury class of goods produced from the ground, the widening demand for them would indicate that the buying power on the part of the public during the summer was not in such dreadful shape after all", declared Lem B.
