vacancy created by resignation of
Linclon C. Andrews.

con be grown both efficiently and
profitably by the Georgia farmers
and by encouraging the growth of
thin cotton, it is hoped to meet the
competition that is rnpiJiy growing
in the State west of the Mississippi
riv. r, where the average C09t of
growing cotton is lower than in
Georgia. The Georgia mills would
much prefer purchasing their cotton
directly from the Georgia farmers
and in mowt cases they are willing to
pay the ixtra premium for cotton
that is of the higher and better
grades.
Already this year a number of
Georgia cotton mills have purchased
high grade cotton seed in earload
lots and distributed them ”mcng the
farmers in their conmiun. s. This
plan has been used by several of the
mills for the past few years, and
they all report that it has met with
much succ.ss. The grade and staple
of the cotton in these' communities is
gradually being improved an I it re

the farmer alike. The farm r g?U
the extra premium for his cotton by
selling it direct to the mill, and the
mill is able to purchase much o: its
cotton requirements right in the mill
community.
One mill is conducting five experi
mental farms to determine the best
variety of cotton that can be grown
in that community, and many other
mills nr.- using various plan* of en
couraging* the farmers in their com
munities to grow cotton suitable for
spinning at the locel mills.
It is hoped that in time, with the
help and cooperation of the State
Agricultural Coll, go, th.' Georgia
mills will be able to purchase largt
portion of their cotton directly from
the farmers in their sections and tain
will be of great advantage, both to
the producer and the manufacturer.
This plan in connection with the in
tensive campaign being conducttj by
the mills to extend the present uses
of cotton and to find mw uses for
this fibre should prove of great help
to all branches of the textile indus
