Important Scheme Inaugurated for Southern Cotton
Atlanta May 16 One of the most important movements ever inaugurated in the south is rapidly forming to let farmers set their own price on cotton via a bonded warehouse system. The plan, supported by the Southern Cotton Association, aims to build fireproof warehouses in every community with 2000 bales marketed, enabling storage and loan collateral. President Harvie Jordan outlines unity between farmers and business interests to safeguard the staple and ensure fair value, with warehouses reducing insurance and storage costs. The Cotton Planters' Commission and Holding Company, organized at the New Orleans convention, could unite farmers and bankers to resist price-depressing schemes and lock stock subscriptions. The initiative seeks rapid subscribing to empower growers against external pressures and to build a safety bulwark. The association offers information and references to interested parties as it advances.
