Revolution in
Cot ton Market
Seen by Moser
A revolution in cotton marketing
will result from the local cooperative
units planned in West Texas, C. O.
Moser, vice-president of the Amer-
ican Cotton Cooperative Association
told a crowd which filled the dis-
trict court room at Coleman Tues-
day afternoon.
Since farmers have united to cut
their cotton acreage and have put
the market up $25 or $30 a bale, we
don't hear so much about "farmers
haven't got sense enough to work
together.” said the co-op official,
and added that "there is no problem
for farmers which cannot be solved
by collective effort.”
It is hoped, Mr: Moser said, that
the new local associations will not
-ply market cotton, but that they
,^/ill do anything else that farmers
want done in the way of cooper-
ative action.
New legislation which will be
ready for next season will enable
the farmer again to control pro-
duction and advance the market
higher than it now is, said the co-
op leader. "We get all of the truck,"
he said, "when we blame the spec-
ulator for running prices up and
down. I defy any speculator to get
on the wrong'side of the market;
he’ll get right or get out. It 1s ad-
justment of the size of the crop to
the size of the world’s need which
makes the price. If we had not
agreed to cut acreage this season,
we would have gone into the next
season with an increased surplus
and a price around seven or eight
cents, in spite of inflation. Thanks
to the farmers’ good sense, and co-
operation of the government, we
have put the price far above that,"
He warned his hearers to see that
farmers "don’t get the worst of it in
the organization of industry, now
going forward through adoption of
cedes.”
Under arrangements being made
for the West Texas association and
the local units which will be set up
in connection with it, cotton will be
sold to the American Cotton Coop-
erative Association as long as the
price obtained from that associa-
tion is "in line.” otherwise the cot-
ton will be sold wherever a better
price may be obtained. The policy
will be to pay members approxi-
mately the price for which cotton
is being sold in their territory, and
to return a "patronage dividend” if
the cotton can be re-sold at’a prof-
it.
Mr. Moser was accompanied to
Coleman by V. A. (Pete) Taylor, who
arrived in West Texas this week
from Memphis, to take charge of the
classing and financing work of the
American Cotton Cooperative Asso-
ciation in the territory covered by
the new West Texas Association.
Clyde Daniel, Abilene, who has
wen in charge of this district of
be Texas Cotton Cooperative As-
sociation for several years, was an-
nounced this week as manager of
the new West Texas Association. CJ.
Y. Lee. Eden, was elected to repre-
sent the new association on the
board of directors of the American
Cotton Cooperative Association.
Mr. Moser was Introduced to the
Coleman audience by C. V. Robin-
son, county agent, and J. L. Wilkin-
son, cotton grower,, J, M Binion,
vocational agriculture teacher at
Santa Anna, was active in building
interest in the meeting. Coleman
’county members of the new co-ops’
oganization committee are B. D.
Bowler, R. E. Derusha, C. F. Mc-
Ccrmick. and J. L. Wilkinson.
Tax valuations have dropped over
$400,000 in this county this year, ac-
cording to an estimate made by H.
M. Brown, county tax assessor.
Although the figures given this
year are Just an estimate and may
later be increased, the lentative es-
timate of the value of property in
Coleman county is placed* at $11,-
674.220.
Last year’s valuation was placed
at $12,082,308.
The main reason for the slump in
valuations are, a slump in oil activ-
ity. depreciation of property, and
failure on the part of many persons
during the past year to make im-
provements, Mr. Brown believes.

Attendance of Men
At Short Course to

Because of a ruling to the effect
