Friday to close 80 cents to $1.00 a

A furry of mill and New Orleans
buying, along with short covering,
met a scarcity of contracts follow
ing early selling pressure influ-
enced by the strike outlook.
Private crop reports were I'M
favorable and induced a turnabout
in the early trend showing losses
of as much as 80 cents a bale. In
addition to wet conditions in the
southeast portions of the belt, there
we're reports that hail damage had
caused acreage loss in Texas. Re
planting in some sections was said
to be hampered by a scarcity OF
seed.
There was considerable switching
from July into new crop deliveries.

to Atlanta advices, but buying by
shippers Increased. Western ship

RAISES PROTEST

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Feb. 8
-(PlCriticism of the disposal of
military property by declaring it
salvage goods to be sold only to
dealers instead of to veterans was
voiced today at the opening of the
area "BE" conference Of the
American Legion's national reha-
Utilization committee.
The two-day committee session
Of the Legion and its Auxiliary is
being held in conjunction with a
meeting of the Legion's area "B''
child welfare school conference
which begins tomorrow.
Area "B' comprises New Jer-
sey, New York, Delaware, Mary
land, Virginia, West Virginia,
Pennsylvania and the District OF
Columbia.
In a message prepared for de-
livery at the conference, Ralph
Levers of Washington, D. c.,
American Legion employment di-
rector, declared that much gov
eminent property has been declar-
ed salvaged goods and is sold in
blocks to dealers only. Saying the
surplus property situation has
been in mess" from the start,
Levers said the disposal of such
property soon will be in the hands
of the War Assets corporation,
headed by 1t. Gen. Edmond Greg
DRY, former Army quartermaster

HIJTS0N'S ADDRESS
ENDS FARM MEET

WINSTON-SALEM, Feb. S.-WD
The three-day convention Of the
N. C. Farm Bureau Federation
closed here tonight with an ad-
dress by j. B. Hutson, U. S. I'M
dersecretary of agriculture.
Other features of today's pro-
gram included speeches by Ed
ward A. O'Neal, Chicago, ILL.,,
president Of the American Farm
Bureau Federation and James
Carey, secretary-treasmer Of the
CLIO.
Earlier, R. M. Evans, Of Wash
ington, D. c., member OF the
board Of governors Of the federal
reserve system, told members that
it is. essential for this country to
extend credit to England if We are
to have adequate marketing needs.
He added that it was also i'm
perative that Britain's economy be
held intact as a safeguard for our
own.
Evans also pointed out that
agriculture should pay heed to
floors as well as ceilings because
it is almost a certainty floors for
farmers produces will be greatly
needed before long"
Government price controls are
another necessity if the country is
to have a balanced economy, he
said.
Meanwhile, T. j. Pearsall, Of
Rocky Mount, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee of the farm
bureau, said that while the first
concern of agriculture was pro-
duction, the farmer was confront
ed with an entirely new problem
in that he must adapt himself to
an economy that has been wholly
changed by the war.
Reelected officers of the wom-
ems association of the federation
were Mrs. B. B. Evertt Of Pax
myra. president; Mrs. j. I.
Wagner of Greensboro, vice presi-
dent; and Mrs. Mayor Parker oil
Ahoskie, secretary.
