Atlanta.—The Georgia Cotton Co
operative announces that it will ad
vance fifteen cents a pound to its
members on delivery of cotton this
fall, which is at the rate of $75 a
standard bale.
This a-lvaiico was author .zed at a
meeting of the director, after a
thorough caimss of the situation.
The advance is made possible by
the fact that the association in its
conduct of business during the past
year has . established an enviable
credit rating and is able to borrow
at a favorable interest rate all the
monfey needed for financing the ad
vances pending the gradual selling of
the crop.
Last year the association made an
initial advance of twelve cents a
pound, $60 a bale,, at time of delivery.
Commenting on'the action of the
hoard, President J. E. Conwell says:
"It.is hoped that this increase of ap
proximately $16 a hale as an Initial
advance will enable our members to
be in a better position to take care
of their obligations at the present,
as well as to facilitate the delivery of
all cotton against which there are
mortgages or encumbrances.”
The present rate of advance will
remain in effect until further action
by the board of directors.
The co-operative association recent
ly made final settlements with all
members who delivered their 1922
crop to the association, The average
gross sale price for all members’ cot
ton received last year was 27.60 cents
and the net average price to the
grower member i was 26.03 cents. ■
Since the first of the year the asso
ciation, has added approximately 26,-
000 new members, which brings the
total membership up to approximately
40,000, as against a membership of 13,-
600 for last year.
