FARMERS & STOCKGROWERS NATIONAL BANK- Heppner Oregon By Robert Fuller Written specially for The Gazette-Times.) New Orleans, La., March 2i De claring that 20 cents a pound is a satisfactory return for their cotton, cotton growers of the Delta region in Mississippi are exporting 100,001) hales direct to German cotton mills in Nuremberg and Augsburg. Already 5,000 bales have left this port on the steamer Maiden Greek for Hamburg, and a similar cargo is leaving this week for Bremen, from where it will be taken in charge by American representatives of the cotton growers diverted to the var ious mills in Germanv. The cotton sent to Germany was grown in Mississippi and exported by the Mississippi Delta Exporting and Trading company. The com pany intends to place American re ceiving agents in other European ports. The Delta cotton growers will not receive money for their cotton from the German spinners. PAYMENT IN GOODS Instead, they will receive two thirds of the manufactured goods turned out by the German mills. These the American representative of the exporting company will divert to such markets as may be in posi tion to pay good cash for the pro ducts. These markets are to be in Po land, Lithuania, the Mediterranean countries, Lzecho - blovakia and Jugo-Slavia, where the depreciation in money has been in about the same ratio as the depreciation of German and Austrian money. The amazing thing about the deal is that Delta cotton growers find a price of 20 cents a pound for their cotton attractive enough to export it at their own expense, when it has been said that it cost not less than Ld T (f VJ'- 4 i A m .js-s. -.-tL they're entirely missing."

Your American may be knocked down but if he is a true American he won t stay down. Cotton growers of Mississippi have shown themselves to be true Americans and are leading the way for all American agricultural ists. Cotton growers of the Delta region in Mississippi have organized and are shipping cotton to German mills at 20 cents a pound. Not only that they are taking their pay in German goods then co-operating with German manufacturers in marketing the goods to needful central European nations. The cotton growers receive two-thirds of the goods manufactured the Ger man mills operating on the one-third margin. Other American cotton grow ers in Southern states are following the Mississippi plan. Pictures show loading boat at New Orleans with Mississippi cotton for export to Germany and thousands of bales of cotton in the South which will be better sold at 20 cents than laying in the weather until it will be worth less than 5 cents a pound. 25 cents a pound to produce cotton !ery to ship their low-grades and un last year and that the price of raw sold cotton direct to German, Aus cotton should be 40 cents, as advo-1 trian, Polish and perhaps Russian cated by the American Cotton Aso-! mills and accept finished goods as ciation. j payment.
