Cotton Loan Rates
Have Been Announced

Most important event of the week was
the announcement by the government OF
the cotton loan rate for the 1910 crop.
The Commodity Credit Corporation an
nounced that loans on the 1910 cotton
crop VIII be available to producers CO.
opeI ating with the AAA program. The
loan la.e will be based on 1916 inch
middlias. cotton, net weight basis with
differe ..tials log grade, staple, and
location instead oi on 7IS inch middling
as was the case last year. The reason
for the change is that 1916 inch mid
ding is now the basic description for
all future and spot cotton contracts,
the change from the 7l8 inch standard
having been made within the past year.
Tho rate for 1916 middling cotton,
net weight basis, will vary from high
oi SO in the Carolina mill area to ZIG
IN West Texas, New Mexico, and rate
at all Gulf and Pacific ports of 9.8 per
pound.
The full loan rate will be available
only to cooperating cotton producers
who have not on any farm knowingly
planted or permitted the planting of
cotton in 1910 in excess of the cotton
acreage allotment established for the
farm for the 1940-'41 marketing year.
-cooperators will be eligible to re-
ceive a loan at 60 percent of the rate
applicable to cooperating producers, and
only on that part of their production in
excess of their farm marketing quotas.
Producers NUT obtain waivers of all
liens on their cotton before obtaining
loans.

tured so much by this date that infes-
tation records had been stopped High
est infestations were reported from
Lowndes, Leflore, and Monroe Counties,
but DR.. Lyle advised that still higher in
festations were probably present in
many southern counties from which no
reports were received. A private report
on 43 farms in Lee County showed weev-
lis present on 81, but the infestation was
very low, the highest only $50.
Where late cotton is still fruiting Wig
orously and as much as 20%o to $3.50
infestation exists, poisoning should pay
we'll, said DR.. Lyle. Some dusting with
sulphur is being done in the Delta for
cotton fleahoppers, but all examinations
made by Plant Board inspectors indi-
cate that this is unnecessary, as flea
hoppers are not present in destructive
numbers and the damage has probably
been due to weather conditions.
More cotton leaf worms, including one
pupa, were received from the same field
In George County where the first spec
linen was found on August l.. No other

Capital Gossip
By HENRY AVERILL

Raleigh, Aug. 28.-North Cardinals
Supreme Court justices showed up
on the bench for the opening of the
Fall term in their new robes, the
first time they have donned any
such insignia of great and overawing
dignity.
They looked very well, indeed. The
robes are not the kind that come
up around the throat and choke a
chap to death. but are nicely V
shaped so that neat white collars and
black bow ties show through the
aperture.
Nobody seems to think it will in
crease the authority or prestige Of
the court; but most agree that its
nothing to get excited about, one
way or the other. If the justices like
the robes, who's to complain because
they wear them?
