Marketing System for Farmers Urged by Martin Amorous
Martin Amorous, Cobb county planter, told a gathering of Atlanta Insurance Exchange members that the federal reserve board has caused the present low mood and attacked the board as failing southern farmers. He urged a cooperative marketing system with a cotton exchange to set price quotations, store surplus in marine association warehouses, and locate headquarters in Atlanta to manage over 1,000,000 bales. Insurance men were urged to back the plan due to large insured cotton volumes and potential uninsured stock in North Georgia.
