BIG CORPORATION
TO HANDLE COTTON
—
CAPITALIZATION OF FIFTY MIL
LION DOLLARS URGED BY GOV¬
ERNOR HARDING.
SAYS SALES AGENCY NEEDED
Susseata That Corporation Ba Co-Op¬
erative. And That It Handlt
Only Export Cotton
Washington. —Organization of a co¬
operative cotton exporl corporation
with capitalization of perhaps fifty
million dollars, was advocated by Gov.
W. P. G. Harding of the federal re¬
serve board.
This corporation, organized under
the Webb act, solely for foreign trade
transactions, could be financed to
some extent by the war finance corpo¬
ration under the recent act autlioriz
Ing one billion to exporters, Governor
Harding suggested.
In payment for the si ck Southern
cotton producers and t-n-dness men
participating in the corp ration might
use Liberty bonds, whit h they hold
thus eliminating the nee. ,-itv of tying
up large quantities of cesh.
Mr. Harding suggested that a en¬
gross of cotton produo ■ - and olhe
business men be held ;u once lo di
cuss the project. He explained to¬
by using Liberty Bond these wcu¬
be held by the corpor .uon a - pci
manent investments ai.l would no
be placed on the market. This wou’f
remove any objection by government
agencies to exchange of the corpora
tion’s stock for Liberty Loads.
“Every large manufacturing and
mining concern has a well-organized
sales department,” said the governor
in his letter. “It would be suicidal
for any large manufacturer to devote
his activities to productions alone.
Many millions of people are engaged
in the production of cotton, but of all
our great industries it is the only one,
T believe, which has no organized sales
department.”
A farmer or a merchant who has
eottou for sale must, either take the
price offered him or he must hold his
cotton in ilie hope of obtaining a high¬
er price, and he has no assurance tliat
he will get a higher price by holding.
The cotton spinners have their own
organizations; those who have cotton
for sale have none.

Colton Seed Hulls
vs
Timothy Hay
Timothy Hay is selling for $42.00 per ton in Georgia today.
We are selling old-style Cotton Seed Hulls in Wagon lots, f. o. b., our mills, for
$10.00 per Ton, loose.
Professor W. A. Henry, of the Uniersitv of Wisconsin, a recognized authority on
Feeds, gives the food value of these two Feeds as follows:
.Seed Hulls In
In Cotton Timothy Hay
Crude Protein,................... 4.20 per cent 5.10 per cent
Nitrogen Free Extract,............. 33.40 per cent 45.00 per cent
Fat,.............................. 2.20 per cent 2.50 per cent
Fibre, ....................i....... 46.30 per cent 29.00 per cent
Why buy imported Western Hay when practically the same food value can
be obtained in home-grown Cotton Seed Hulls at less than one-half the cost.

ARE YOUR TAXES HEAVY?
THEY MAY BE HEAVIER YET
Probably every reader of this paper
finds his taxes a bit higher than he
likes to pay. Thousands of Them have
been struggling for the last few weeks
to make out reports on income taxes
to the government, and have found
that six per cent takes a pretty heavy
slice out of what was left over on New
Year’s day. Many of you had to bor¬
row money to pay the taxes.
But this tax is nothing to what all
of us will have to pay if the Victory
Loan fails to go over. Uncle Sam’s
war bills must be paid. He prefers to
borrow the money from us and pay us
back later on.
But if he can’t borrow it, he must
take it—in the form of taxes.
It's like the difference between rent¬
ing a house for ten years or buying it
on the installment plan. In one case,
you wind up with a thick bundle ol
rent receipts. In the other, you have
a deed to your home.
isn’t it better to lend your money to
the Government at a fair rate of in¬
terest than to pay it out in taxes,
which never come back’
That’s worth considering when the
time comes to invest in Victory Bonds.
DON’T SELL BONDS CHEAP
Holders of Liberty bonds of any is
sue are warned by the government not
to accept the first offer made by s
“shark” in case they are forced to sell
their bonds for any purpose.
It is best to borrow on your bond?
instead of selling them, and the bank?
will usually grant a low rate of Inter
est. But if you must sell, go to a reg
ular bank, where you will get the fuf
market price. If you can hold on, al.
the better, for the Liberty bonds wti
certainly bring 100 oeuts on the dollar
after a few years of peace.
For Sale.
