Rapid Progress In Co-operation Cotton Growers Find Is An Improvement Over Old Method The cotton co-operative marketing organizations now are on a better operating basis than at any time in the last ten years, declared James S. Hathcock, United States Department of Agriculture economist, addressing the co-operative marketing school at Raleigh, N.C., March 20. "The severe economic depression of 1920-21," Mr. Hathcock said, "forced the South to give attention to the economic problems of cotton marketing. During the next two years, fifteen state wide or regional co-operative cotton marketing associations were formed, and organization campaigns were conducted under high pressure to get the largest possible membership. Extravagant promises were made, but those in charge of the organization work believed that drastic methods were required." During the period of advancing cotton prices, the speaker declared, the early co-operatives were fairly successful, but when prices declined the organizations discovered basic faults in organization, operating and sales methods. The transition period was one of experimentation in new methods until the present type of organization is vastly different from that of the original organizations. "The changes made in co-operative marketing of cotton," Mr. Hathcock said, "have effected a closer understanding and working relationship between the associations and their members. Under present contractual arrangements, responsibility is shared with the individual members, particularly with respect to the choice of time when sales are to be made. The members are studying the problems of marketing more carefully than ever before and the result is certain to be a more "Mighty Tusko," Monarch of Jungle When the Al. G.

Mr. Hathcock said, "have effected a closer understanding and working relationship between the associations and their members. Under present contractual arrangements, responsibility is shared with the individual members, particularly with respect to the choice of time when sales are to be made. The members are studying the problems of marketing more carefully than ever before and the result is certain to be a more sympathetic and better informed membership. "In the beginning, one of the principal purposes of co-operative cotton marketing was to avoid 'dumping' in the fall by distributing sales in an orderly manner throughout the year. It was expected that this program would result in the highest possible average prices. Since then the ideas of co-operative cotton marketing officials with respect to orderly marketing have undergone a complete change. Under the operation of the daily price-fixation pools, for example, the association sells spot cotton whenever there is sufficient mill demand, but leaves the time of price fixation entirely in the hands of the individual members. The early belief that 'dumping' caused an autumnal price dip has been discarded as the behavior of prices has come to be better understood. "A very important change has been made in co-operative marketing with respect to pooling practices. Dufing the first few years it was the practice of cotton co-operatives to distribute the exact distributable proceeds of each grade and staple pool to the members participating in it without regard to prices being returned to members from other pools. Each pool was treated separately as if there were only one pool. Before very long it was discovered that in some instances higher prices per pound were being paid for the lower grades and shorter staples than for higher grades and longer staples. "This situation has been corrected by carrying the sales of all pools in one sales account and distributing the total non-distributable amount to the various pools in proportion to the quantity in each pool and in accordance with proper commercial grade and staple differences. In this manner the member receives full value for his cotton on a quality basis and is given the production incentives necessary to an improvement of his quality. "A gradual increase in direct-to-mill sales has been in evidence during recent years, and some of the associations are now selling 100 per cent of their cotton in this way. Clausing and grading services have been improved, and the cotton being offered by cotton cooperatives today probably comes nearer to being uniformly classed and stapled than at any previous time in the history of the movement." THE NEED OF PROTECTION "Mighty Tusko," Monarch of Jungle When the Al. G. Earnes circus trains pull into Anaheim Monday, April 1, there will be the usual crowds on hand to see Tusko, largest elephant in the world, a foot taller and a ton and a half heavier than was famous Jumbo. At every stand the circus plays, a huge gathering greets "the last of the mammoths." The other elephants are detrained separately. When Tusko finally appears, a great "Oh!" arises from hundreds of lips, and then a ma- course. A revision of the tariff undertaken next winter would not be completed before the congressional campaign of 1930 would be upon the country. The new tariff schedules would not have opportunity to demonstrate their value before another election. Necessarily, too, more politics would be injected into the discussion on the eve of a campaign than at some earlier period. So well disposed are the American people toward the protective policy that in the last national campaign declarations against it were absent. There has come to be a general realization that a protective tariff measuring the difference in wages and standards of living at home and abroad represents not special privilege, but simple Justice. Organized labor, which a few years ago was divided on the question of a protective tariff, is now united in favor of it. Wage earners have come to see that restriction upon cheap foreign products stands on all fours with restriction of the immigration of those who raise or make these products, and that unfair competition is as much involved in the one as n the other. It is often said that mass production in the United States outweighs the advantage of lower wage scales abroad in competition with commodities grown or manufactured in this country. But there is no world-wide patent on mass production, and foreign countries are adopting these same methods of production, still retaining the advantage of cheaper labor. Moreover immense investments of American capital are being made abroad, more are in prospect, and these investors in foreign industry are carrying with them American men and methods. To protect the American wage earner and farmer from disaster due to his inability to compete on his scale of pay and living with lower foreign standards is so clear a demand of social justice and of economic safety that resistance to reasonable increases in the tariff rates on commodities subjected to unfair foreign competition is at this time weak. Congress should see to that tariff rates are so adjusted tha- the result is honesty in to the fine statals cast democrats. We must Hoover on been taken will apply its democrats.

Classing and grading services have been improved, and the cotton being offered by cotton cooperatives today probably comes nearer to being uniformly classed and stapled than at any previous time in the history of the movement." THE NEED OF PROTECTION The chief economic concern of the government should be the profitable employment of the people. The most direct means of bringing about this is to preserve the home market for the American people. It should be a matter of reproach when American wage earners are out of employment and American farmers find their crops unprofitable because the American farm and factory have been exposed to destructive competition with the output of workers employed abroad at wages and returns which involve a low standard of living. The competition between foreign and domestic products is primarily a battle between standards of living in which the victory will inevitably go to the lower standard, in the absence of a protective tariff sufficient to equalize in some degree at least production costs thus created at home and abroad. Relief for certain industries which have had to curtail production because of inability to meet competition based on lower foreign wage standards, and for farmers who cannot pay American prices for labor, land and materials and successfully meet foreign competition based on cheaper costs, has been too long delayed. The amount o fun-employment in the United States due directly to unfair foreign competition is an important factor in our present industrial situation. The depression in agriculture is due in no small part to failure to produce in the United States a vast quantity of raw materials which cannot profitably be produced here because of higher costs due entirely to higher American standards of living. Congress is proceeding along the right line in undertaking to provide this long delayed relief at the special session of congress. There are political as well as economic considerations which indicate the adveability of this LOOKS LIKE NEW ERA President Hoover announces that the republican party must have honest leadership in the South, and he designates several states whose leadership must be changed at once. There has been any amount of corruption in the south. Offices have been sold, delegates have been purchased for the national conventions, and the whole element of politics as far as the republican organization is concerned in some of the southern states has smacked off the auction block. Unscrupulous men have gotten possession of the party machinery, and with the ignorant, and in many cases vicious, colored people they have carried on an alleged republican organization. This organization has been recognized at the national conventions and its delegates have helped select the candidates for president. The better element in these southern states have had nothing but soon for the party. The amazing thing is that in spite of that condition there was such a tremendous Hoover vote cast in these states last fall. President Hoover's action in determining upon a housecleaning is both ANAHEIM GAZETTE as follows: (1) The addition of ten points to the earned rating of a disabled veteran is continued, but under the new order the names of disabled veteran eligibles are placed at the top of the list and are certified ahead of non-veterans, regardless of their rating. (2) Widows of veterans, and wives of veterans who themselves are physically disqualified for government employment, are allowed ten points added to their earned ratings, instead of the five points formerly allowed. Wives and widows of veterans who are allowed the additional ten points also will be certified ahead of non-veterans. (3) A government employee entitled to preference under the law and rules is given more liberal preference in retention in the service when reduction of force becomes necessary.

On behalf of the California World War veterans, a message to the French veterans has been sent by Commander Belgrano through the French embassy at Washington, paying tribute to the great soldier. Governor Young and the members of the state legislature have been appealed to by the conservation commission of the American Legion to approve a measure presented at Sacramento by Senator Frank C. Weller of Glendale, a World War veteran, providing for a state appropriation for the protection of California watersheds against forest fires. "The development and welfare of California depends upon the water supply of the state and the watershed areas of the state must be protected from fire so as to relieve existing conditions which resulted in over a million acres of land being burned over each year in this state," the commission of World War veterans declares in a resolution. The members of the commission which has the backing of the state department of the Legion are: Newton B. Drury, chairman; Everett R. Stanford, Edward T. Cook, Charles G. Dunwoody, John H. Young, William Carlson, Col. John R. White, George Cloney and Fred Adams. California officials of the American Legion have been asked to aid the federal authorities at Washington in informing veterans of American wars of new civil service rules granting preference to those who have served their country in war time. State Commander F. N. Belgrano Jr., of the Legion calls attention to the fact that one of the last acts of President Coolidge before leaving the White House was the signing of an executive order amending the civil service rules. The amendment makes more liberal the preference allowed for appointments to the civil service under the law which provides for veterans, their widows, and under certain conditions, their wives.
