1913 WHEAT CROP
PROTECTION URGED
Guarding Against Loss OF
Product Is Wartime
Duty, Says Scott

COLLEGE STATION, RALEIGH,
Aug. 3O.-Obtaining as much pro-
lection as possible against loss OF
the 1943 wheat crop is a wartime
duty of every wheat producer in
North Carolina, it was stated today
by C. T. Scott, chairman of the
State USDA War Board, with head
quarters at State college.
"Although the nation has plenty
of wheat TO" comercial use more
than we ever had before-producers
must protect their yields in order
to maintain a sound agricultural
economy during the present war, y
Scott said. I'VE now are engaged in
our most intensive production ef-
fort, and we can't afford to waste
land, labor, and materials on crop
from which we get no return.
1.-The wheat crop insurance pro-
gram now in operation in this
state affords wheat growers an
opportunity to protect their yields
against damage from causes for
which they are not responsible.
All indemnites are figured in
terms of wheat, and even if the
grower uses all of his wheat on
the farm, loss of an important
commodity would result in a fin
ancial upset"
The insurance is issued by the
Federal crop Insurance Copora-
ton, and guarantees the grower
rs per cent of the normal --;e'
established for his farm against
losses from hail, windstorm,
drought, floods, and other similar
causes.
A new phase Of the program this
year is extension of the contracts
to include insurance on wheat crops
over a period of three years, Scott
said. Premiums are payable an
ually, and the insurance or the
last years crop may be cancelled
by the grower if notice is given
prior to seeding the second year S
crop.
Premium rates in North Carolina
vary from a to 6 bushel per acre.
Applications may be made at any
county AAA office, Scott said.

H0KE GUARANTEES
'UNDAMACED FIBER
First County In Nation In
Which Ginners Offer
Farmers Protection

RAEFORD, Aug. 30-Hoke coun-
ty cotton ginners today became the
first organized group in the ma
ton to offer producers guarantees
chat cotton, ginned in their plants,
will not sustain abnormal damage.
Through cooperation of the State
Department of Agriculture and the
State College Extension service,
the program has been placed on a
countrywide basis, and placards
announcing guaranteed ginning
have been placed on all gins in
the county.
Explaining this new feature of a
general cotton Improvement pro-
gram, Fred johnson, cotton gin
specialist of the State Department
OF Agriculture, said Hoke is the
first known county in the nation to
have such program. ut is be-
ing tried in Hoke county on an
experimental basis entirely, though
glnners in some other counties
have adopted the plan. 1t is hoped
that all North Carolina cotton gin
ners eventually will guarantee
their work. he said.
Mr.. johnson said the contracts
assure the farmers that the high
est potential grade of cotton
brought to the gin will be retained
after the cotton is ginned. Ginners
who guarantee their work are obli-
gated to pay the farmer for any
abnormal damage resulting from
processing. Mr.. johnson and Dr.
E. R. Collins, extension agronom-
ist of State college, were in the
county last Thursday studying the
new protection plan.
Under this program" Johnson
said, "the ginner has the privilege
of waving his guarantee on any
lot of cotton, provided he notifies
the producer before ginning has
begun. He merely guarantees the
grower that he will take an inter-
est in the cotton brought to him.
It has been found that machinery
alone cannot gin cotton satisfac-
tcrily. 1t takes personal supervis-
ion, and this is what the new con-
tracts provide.
Records snow that the percent
age of damaged cotton in North
Carolina has been reduced from
Is to 20 per cent in 1887 to 6.8 per
cent last year. In addition, per
bale damage has been cut from
about $40 in 1887 to about S. last
year.
"Our goal for this year is to cut
the damage to four per cent or
less on the 100000 bales estimated
to be ginned in North Carolina, p"
he said.
