GINNERS report Cotton ginned in Doughv’ prior to December 1st w » Movement To Restore Regions Repute tlon For Cotton Fiber Of Superior Length and Strength Is Now On By C. A. WHITTLE For a long time North Georgia cot ton meant a staple of an inch and bet ter, silky and strong,— a cotton with n world-wide reputation. Buyers were eager to get it—so eager that they were willing to pay a premium for it. But a change has come about Buy ers are finding It difficult to get old- time North Georgia cotton. They must have lint of good length, but they are not able to find much of It In North Georgia. Consequently the buyers are going to Arkansas to get staple that North Georgia can grow, has grown and ought to he growing. “Give us the length,” say tho millers, “and we will pay more for the North Goorgla cotton than for cotton of sim ilar length grown anywhere else.” Will North Georgia farmers take up their offer? When North Georgia fanners under stand what must be done, it is believed they will be eager to join In a united effort to restore to North Georgia the reputation which it has been losing. Why have North Georgia cottons been losing their length of staple? It is be cause many different and Inferior strains of cotton have been brought In to the territory. These strains have mixed 'with the old lino varieties to produce a mongrel cotton that can no longer yield the superior staple. Realizing tho economic loss that thia part of the south lr suffering as a con sequence of this mhfortuqe, a campaign has been inaugurated to help the farm er got seed of varieties that will bring North Georgia back unto its own. In this campaign cotton buyers, barikers, tho agricultural college with its county agents, cotton mill men and - leading fanners are joining. To get right down to practical things, tho Atlanta Commercial exchange In At lanta has undertaken without expense for Its service, to carry on a campaign to interest bankers and business men in each town to assist the farmer to pur chase seed by extending loans or credit. In order that tho movement toward bettor types of cotton may not go amiss, the cotton buyers, after consulting agri cultural authorities, cotton mill men and farmers, have listed four leading va rieties of cotton: Cleveland (any good strain), College No. 1, Acala and Row- den. All these varieties have ranked at the top for quantity of yield, desir able length of lint and adaptation to boll weevil conditions in North Georgia. In furtherance of its plans, the ex change has undertaken to meet the demand for coed of these varieties. They have enlisted the-aid of the banks and the Cotton Storage Finance Cor poration, of Atlanta. The banks are to finance the purchase nf 3eed for their respective regions. The Cotton Storage Finance Corporation offers free storage space for accommodate ; the distribu-. tion of seed from tho Atlanta headquar- tors. 9 An important part of the campaign is to get all the farmers of a com munity (o use only one variety of cot- r-.n. If tlii.; is d:;.ie. the seed will re main pure and the exchange will be in position to market these pure seed .to advaiunge next year, and subsequent years, if tho farmers so desire. Farm era who wish to get seed of tho varletie; mentioned may take the mat ter up with their county agent, or local bunker and arrange for a co-operative order of ::o cl which the Atlanta Corn- inertial exchange offers to fill without cost for the sOi vice remlore.d. Whai assurance has the farmer that ha will : et a b: tier price Tor his cotton if lie grows the beu'jr staple? The best assurance is the record of the price-, racaivrd each day on the markets. Take t!:e government's report of cotton sales in Caorgin November 1. On the Atlanta market strict middling • of 1 to 1 1/16 inch brought 26 cents, strict middling 1 inch brought 25 3/8 cents, 7/8 to 1 inch 24 cents, 3/4 inch 22 3/4 cents. When col ton cf the shorter grade goes, on the market in North Georgia It comes in contact with Chinese and India cotton, cotter, that i3 raised by cocly labor, the lowest paid labor in thy world.
