DENMARKTOWN COUNCIL TAKES UP BUY-A-BALE MOVEAAENT AND CITIZENS BUILD BONDED WAREHOUSE Fanners in Rich Section of Bamberg County in Position to Hold Cotton Because They Have Emancipated Themselves From Western Corn-Cribs, Hay-Lofts and Smoke-Houses, and Even Raise Their Own Mules, to a Great Extent---De cided Cut in Acreage Next Year Indicated By Prevailing Sentiment. WAfER E. DUNCAN, Staff Correspondent, The Augusta Herald. Denmark, S. C.— Adopting the sugges tion "of Mayor D. G. Richardson, the Denmark town council has taken the lead in the “Buy-a-bale” movement here. In a show window in one of the stores on the principal business street of the city the 500-pound bale is on exhibition, placarded: \ BOUGHT BY THE TOWN COUN CIL AT 10 CENTS A POUND FROM C. H. FIELD. this is so tar the one bale bought on the "Buy-a-Bale” plan, a movement is on foot here to retire a creditable number of bales of distress cotton from the market on a 10-cent basis. Several of the most enterpris ing citizens of Denrdark have expressed their willingness to buy each a bale oV more, and when on October Ist, the bonded warehouse, now nearing com pletion, throws open its doors for busi ness there will be a friendly rivalry, now crystalizing, among the holders of these bales to ue the fiYst to present a bale for storage. Bonded Warehouse Built Although Denmark under normal con ditions handles about 6,000 bales of cot lon a year, the necessity of warehousing facilities was never before felt so keen ly as when with the opening of the cot ton season a few weeks ago the market crumbled and went to pieces overnight, Denmark had no warehouse, and with every farineryln this section of Bamberg county determined to hold all of his cot ton II he can and at least every bale that he can, the necessity of a ware house became an essentiality. Therefore, a bonded warehouse has been built and next week will be ready to open. At a meeting tnree weeks ago the Denmark Warehouse Company was or ganized with *2,000 capital stock, the of ficers elected being Mr. W. L Riley president: Mr. J. K. WAyfield, first vice president; Mr. N. W. Sojowner, second vice-president; Mr. H. C. Crum, secre tary, and MV. J. D. Turner, treasurer. A charter has been issued to the company, and within the past three weeks the warehouse hasSbeen erected. While Its capacity will be 2,000 bales, only 1,000 bales can be stored at present under the Insurance rules. The warehouse wiil conform to federal regulations. So far this season, I am informed not more than 150 bales raised in this sec tion have been sold. This figure in cluded what lias been marketed here and what has been shipped to other markets with Instructions to sell. Acreage Will Be Cut. Prevailing sentiment here favors a decided cut In acreage next vear, and with extensive planters and Influential citizens leading In the agitation for cur tailment, there is no mistaking that there will be a heavy cut. When farm ers like Messrs. J. G. H. Guess, S. D. M Guess, J. K. Mayfield, W. D. Mayfield, W. H. Faust, J. D. Turner and C. S. Folk take a hand controlling as these men do a total acreage that covers a wide sweep of country, there will be sufficient curtailment of cotton and a corresponding Increase in corn and other crops to make a decided difference in this section. Then, what these men do themselves will carry weight with small er farmers—the same as if some of them dumped their cotton on the market to morrow a wholesale turning loose of cot ton would follow here. Farmers tn Splendid Shape. No such thing as wholesale selling of cotton here is within the range of prob ability, however, at least not until the market approaches nearer the levels from which it tumbled when the war clouds broke over Europe, for throughout this splendid farming section, as fertile as a paradise, men have learned how to farm with profit, to get the value out of the land, to first make their farms self-sustaining and then to grow cotton. I know of no other section better pre pard to retire a crop of cotton from the market and hold It Indefinitely than this. Many Mules Raised. Not only do the farniern raise In addition to cotton all the corn and oats, all the hay. alt the meat and home products the country needs, and more for market, but scientific agricultural methods have been suc cessfully followed, an acre of land is now made to produce prartically what two acres produced ten years ego, and long ago emancipating themselves from the necessity of buying com, hay and meat from the West, the farmers to a great extent raise their own mules with which to make their crops. 1 talked today with Mr. J, V. James, president of the Citizens Exchange Bank, who Informed me that though business conditions here at Denmark are “a lit tle below par,” aa he expressed It, be cause nobody Is selling cotton, everybody Is encouraged at the improvement al ready made In the cotton market and that, the farmers determined upon cur tailing the cotton rrop next year, ail have confidence In the futre. Mr .Janies heartily endorsed the “Buy a-bale" movemnt. and aesured me that tt would gain a firm foothold here with in a week or two. A Novel Plan. The plan which his bank has adopted to meet the situation and to aesait toe farmer who needs assistance to hold his cotton Is this: For warehouse receipts deposited with the hunk extensions on maturing paper are granted, cotton taken on a basis of eix cents. If diwing the time the cot ton Is held the market advances and the owner Instruct* the bank to sell, the owner gets the advantage of the In crease. If the market fall* below six cents, the owner will be required to put up the margin. Interest la charged only for the actual time the money Is used. The Rank of Denmark, of which I>. S. D. M. Guess It president, ha* adopted a policy along very liberal and broad lines In order to extend aid where it Is needed, and the merchants are allowing more than the market price for cotton, some In trade and on accounts. I’erhaps fewer cotton seed have been sold here than tn most places, though her at everywhere the demand for seed at anything like the market price la heavy. Why Mulct Are High. Speaking of the development of the stock-raising industry In this ssctlon In recent years. Mr James Informed me that the former* own a splendid Jack, bought at a cost of $1 000, and In pass ing called my attention tn the fact that the price of Western mulss have ad vanced from about SISO tome ten years or so ago to upwards of $264 now. "Ths western farmer* found tt more profitable I think, to tell tb* cotton planters of the South corn and hay than It had been to te I them mules,” he said, "and they turned from ssock to grain for the bigger profit Tb* cotton plant er continued to buy Western corn and THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 hay with his cotton money, though he could raise Ills own feedstuffs at less cost, and with less attention given to the stock Industry tin the West, mules became scarcer and increased in price. The cotton planter has for his folly, therefore, been paing at both ends—a bigger price for his mules and for corn and hay to feed them. "We realized that down here some time ago and have not only cut out the "estren farmv who cannot sell us any corn or hay because we make our own mules. More and more are raised each year. We are progressing. A Notable Success, e Ten years ago Mr. J. A. Hartzog be gan farming on 25 to 30 acres near Den mark. He grew all cotton at first, then learned the advantage of giving first attention to home esupplies. From that start in the right direction he be came less and less dependent upon cot ton. Mr. Hartzog has raised a family and sent all his children to school, and has made a notable success of farming. 1 He always has corn and oats to sell Cotton is with lm a surplus money crop. He is one of the farmers of this section who went In a few years ago for stock-raising. He finds a ready market for his hogs, ar.d it is nothing unusual for Mr. Hartzog, who has half a dozen or more fine mule colts, to sell a colt for $l5O. Messrs. J. K. and W. D. Mayfield, who operate one of the largest mercantile houses In this section, the Mayfield Company, are making upwards of I,oo# bales of cotton tnis year on their two plantations, oae near here and another at Lees, S. C. t but have been produc ing grain and other crops in fair pro portion. They will hold their present cotton crop for 10 cents or better and plant next year for not mere than 500 Lighting Plant Installed. At Denmark an electric lighting sys tem has recently been Installed at a cost of. between $5,000 and $6,000, which is now In operation by the Denmark Light and Power Company. A waterworks and sewerage system la being agitated, and will, it Is expected, be put In as soon as the present depres sion in business conditions has passed. The matter had advanced almost to a concrete stage when it was felt by the promoters that because of financial de pression delay in proceeding further would prove advisable. The Denmark Oil and Fertilizer Com pany, of which Mr. G. M. Dickinson n owner and Mr. A. Pi Guess is manager, is in uninterrupted operation. This is Denmark's leading industry. Mr. J. W.

PLEA TO PBES’T BY SOUTHERNERS Delegation Asks Him to Sup port Bill For Direct Gov’t Loans on Cotton Washington, D. C.—President Wil son was appealed to today by a large delegation -of Southern farmers and congressmen to give his support to the Henry bill for direct government loans to cotton growers. The delega tion was headed by C. S. Barrett, of Georgia, national president of the Farmers Union. Mr. Barrett told the president that in spite of the “buy-a-bale of cotton movement” and other relief measures, the demand for cotton was still inade quate and the price not sufficiently high to help growers. He declared a very serious situation would confront the farmers of the South unless the Henry bill or legislation similar to It was passed.
