NEW METDD OF
COTTON FINANCING
Farmers havo found this season that
an oxpert classing of their cotton la
often worth to thorn from $1.00 to $4.0()
a bale In excess of the price they are
ablo to e'ecure from oaaual buyer*
without claealng. This discovery ha*
l>een made through the operation of
the Cotton Certificating and Inspection
Company, of Atlanta, a new company
and u new aplloation of scientific prin
ciples to the solo of, and borrowing
on cotton by formers.
The oompnny bogan operation* in
the fall of this year, and 1h composed
of Frank M. Inman, president; J. J 4
Williamson, rloe president, and Iiayno*
MoFadden, treasurer. its purpose*
are to weigh, class, seal and certificate
ootton In warehouses. The certificate*
ore readily acceptable in banks a* col*
lateral for loans, and are given prefer*
enoe over open warehouse reoelpt*, a*
under this plan eaoh bale bears a fire*
proof seal and serial number corre
sponding to the numeral* In the cer
tificate Issued against It. The latter
set* forth also the market value of
the cotton so many points on ,or off
middling, on the day of Inspection.
Besides furnishing a definite basis
for collateral, the sealing of the ooO
ton is Invaluable to Insurance comp**
nles, which for the first time are of
fered absolute Identification for burned
cotton, not only the number of bale*
In any lot Inspected, but the particular
number and grade of each bale do*
etroyed.
As a matter of fact. It was first
thought that the plan of Inspection
and certification would appeal mainly
to banks, and insurance companies, but
when the company Btarted to operate,
It became apparent at once that the
service would possess to the tanner,
a greater value, if anything, than to
the other interests. Fanners owning
cotton covered by one of (these certifi
cates are in a position to secure loans
from local and large city banka at the
lowest available interest ratee, with
out the expense of paying freight and
high storage charges to the large con
centrating centers, also to offer buy
ers so many bulea of definite weight
and which will grade a certain num
ber of points on or off middling. As
the grade is established by the best
classers in the cotton belt, there is no
argument about the price basis. On
the otheP hand, it has been the expe
rience of farmers that they have been
protected on price by manna of the
certification to the extent of from
twice to five times its cost. Though
the company has been operating only
a short time, it has already handled
several thousand bales to the entire
satisfaction to both banks, and cotton
owners, thus proving the practicabil
ity of the plan.
