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.
