home two runs as Danville scored
a 5-4 victory over Durham in a

Cotton In The Loan

ga August IA Gov. Fielding l..
Wright issued a proclamation pro-
posing that at least so per cent of
the 1851 cotton crop be placed in

farm organizations believe it
" lse for tanners 10 put cotton in
the loan this year. All agricul-
tural workers are urging this to
be done in order to protect our
market in the face of one of our
biggest crops.
The intent of the storage loan
program is to give farmers an OPP
portunity to market their crop in
an orderly manner. The cost of
cotton production this year is the
highest in history averaging 8 to
8 cents per pound above 1850. In
the face of increasing prod ton,
and cost cotton prices have gone
down under pressure of export
controls, and the estimated record
crop of over II million bales.
BY placing Sc per cent or more
of your cotton in the loan will
more than likely mean that cot
ton will rise later on in the year.
In other words, the farmer stands
a good chance of gaining 2 or 3
, times more than he would lose is
the market did not go up. 1t is
| useless for anyone to sell a bale
of cotton for less than the loan
price. You are not only hurting
