It will be seen that the number of warehouses in the first group of 
counties is less than the number in the second group. The average 
storage capacity in the first group is approximately 4,000 bales, while 
in the other it is approximately 1,000. It will be seen further that 
only two counties appear in both of these groups. This table is pre- 
sented to illustrate the fact that the warehouses are not distributed 
with reference to production. It also shows that the larger and better 
storage houses are located in the nonproducing counties. It is well 
to note the fact that Georgia has a greater number of warehouses than 
any other State, and that their distribution is probably better, but 
even in this State the distribution is not such as to best serve the 
farmer. 
NORTH CAROLINA, 
Table II (p. 8) gives the same information for certain counties in 
North Carolina that Table I gives for Georgia. It is interesting to 
note that some of the counties of this State which have warehouses 
with large combined storage capacity have a very small production. 
It will be noticed further that some of the counties which produce 
large amounts of cotton have very few warehouses or frequently none 
at all. When the survey of this State was being made, it was very 
noticeable that the facilities available were entirely inadequate, and 
that those storage houses which were in use were not so distributed as 
to be of the greatest benefit to the cotton producer. It will be seen 
that 10 counties have 39 warehouses, with a total capacity of 133,770
