SULLY REVIVES
WAREHOUSE PLAN
Atlanta, Ga.—Daniel J. Sully,
the famous cotton bull who once
bos! cd the price to seventeen
cents, the highest since the war,
in an interview announced a new
warehouse plan which he says wil
be backed by $10,000,000 and will
save the farmers of the south and
incidentally allied business
interests, ‘5150,000,000 to $200,-
000,000.
Mr. Sully’s plan is not a new
one, as he frankly admits. It is
lite bonded warehouse plan adopt
ed by various farmers’ organiza
tions, but never carried out, he
says, because of lack of big
enough financial resources.
He says that $10,000,000 of cap
ital is ready and waiting to back
the enterprise, and that southern
interests are not expected to con
tribute a cent until they are
shown conclusively that the ware
houses have the soundest of fi
nancial backing.
The plan is to issue certificates
for cotton, upon which the far
mer is at liberty to make loans,
depositing his cotton in the ware
house as security, and holding it
or selling at a good price as he
chooses. Mr. Sully says:
“The backbone of the plan is
a chain of bonded warehouse
throughout the south sufficient in
number and capacity to house one
third of the crop, and that one
third. as has been demonstrated,
will render market congestion im
possible and insure the disposal
of the crop in strict conformity
with the laws of supply and de
mand.
“No farmer will sacrifice or
surrender the title to his cotton
under this plan.
“Say that he produces one bale
of cottton. Under present condi
tions the vast majority of south
ern planters have already heavi
ly mortgaged that bale to se
cure the funds for its production.
“His creditors press upon him
for settlement. In only excep
tional instances is he liable to with
stand the pressure. As an over
whelming rule, he is forced to
sell his cotton the moment it
leaves the ginnery.
“The same situation prevail
ing in every southern state, it
follows that the bulk of the
crop, instead of following natural
business laws and being market
ed over the legitimate period of
barter and sale and consumption,
is dumped upon the market in
big lots.
“The inevitable result is that
the market price sags conges
tion ensues and the man who
cannot afford to hold off his cred
itors sells his cotton at a loss.
“Now go back to the individ
ual farmer we were using for
purposes of illustration. He de
posits his bale in a warehouse
that is bonded and absolutely as
responsible to the commercial
world as is a surety company or
an insurance corporation.
“He accepts for this bale a
certificate, certifying to his own
ership of the cotton.
“The backing of a reserve of
millions of dollars, and of all the
stockholders, is back of that cer
tificate.
“It will be as fully protected as
United States currency.
“It represents the highest pos
sible class of collaterals for loans.
“With the security thus out
lined supporting it, he will have
no trouble whatever in borrowing
enough from his banker to meet
his pressing indebtedness, hold
ing his cotton in the ware
houses until such time as it can
be marketed at a price commen
surate with its ulmimate value
to the business world.’’

There is ample time for planting
Irish potatoes for early crop and
we farmers can’t afford to neg
lect making this provision for
food for the family. There is
nothing that can be more quick
ly or cheaply grown and with a
good crop of potatoes, garden
vegetables, poultry, eggs, butter,
milk the farmers will have the
necessaries of life without pay
ing out much money for table
supplies. No matter how busy
the farmer may feel himself it
will pay him to take the time nec
essary to prepare for these crops.
He will have ample time left to
raise more cotton than is best
for him.
