Farmers Urged To Market Their Cotton Orderly

at the price support rate. IF you
do not have suitable storage on
the farm which will meet all OF
the requirements, you can store
YOUR cotton at commercial ware
houses of which IT have been ap-
proved in the State for storage
of government loan cotton" Way
ne said. "Then, anytime through
April 80, 1858, you can sell your
cotton at the market price and
pay off the loan. The nearest
commercial warehouses to Column
bus County farmers are in Lum-
berton, Rowland, Maxton and
Pembroke"
In addition to the loan program,
purchase agreements are avail
able. A producer may obtain a
purchase agreement and hold his
cotton for sale at anytime prior
to delivery of warehouse receipts
to CCC. Under the purchase ag-
reement the producer has an OPP
ton to sell specified quantity
of cotton to CCC at the end of
the season at the applicable sup
port rate. This purchase agree
ment porvides price protection
without a charge for interest and
the producer retains ownership Of
the cotton.
All farmers should ask their
ginners to take a sample of their
cotton for free classification.

s'The cotton market has been

avoid glutted markets by spread
ing sales over a longer period.

FARM
QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS

QUESTION: Where can l OBJ
tain information about automatlc
wood burning furnaces for curing
tobacco?
ANSWER: Since 1912, the For
est Utilization Service of the
Southeastern Forest EXPERIMENT
Station has been conducting re-
search investigation to develop
such a furnace, and Walton Smith,
of the Forest Utilization Service,
Federal Building, Asheville, can
give you information concerning
the furnaces, John L. Gray, IN
charge of forestry extension at N
c. State College, points out.
Gray says that such a furnace
has been developed that is not
perfect but seems to be entirely
satisfactory. The furnace has been
tested at Oxford Tobacco Expert
ment Station and on farms in
North Carolina.
Gray tells of one farmer, who
has been curing with an automatic
wood burning furnace for five
seasons who declares that If ne
were a younger man and planned
on continuing active farming he
would install similar furnaces in
all of his tobacco barns.
At the present time, installation
of the furnaces are expensive be-
cause the CRATES, draft doors, etc.,
are not in mass production. The
last furnace installed on a farm
cost, in labor and materials, ap-
proximately $500. The man who
installed the furnace, a farmer
near Roland, is investigating the
possibility of getting a local
foundryman to produce the need
ed parts in quantity, and training
a crew to install the furnaces for
farmers at a contract price.

cotton is one of the highest on
record. AS millers become aware
of this situation, the demand for

Wayne called the attention OF
all cotton growers to the fact
that loans are now available at
the government support price,
which amounts to 1924 cents a

The Sun Cure

DURHAM, y. c. - up - II you
don't mind looking a little silly, a
Duke University doctor has ''prac-
ticaI" remedy for throat infection
that may be better than some OF
those new medical drugs.
Dr.. Watt Eagle, ear, nose and
throat specialist at Duke Univer-
sity, says that sulfonamides and
other antibiOtics are being used in
general treatment of ear, nose and
throat infections when more spe-
cific treatments will produce bet
ter results.
For instance: You can help beat
a throat infection by exposing your
throat to direct sunlight for five
minutes morning and afternoon for
several days. That's not all-after
keeping your mouth open for the
five minute-period you should
then stick out your tongue for an
other similar period, being careful
to expose the base of the tongue.
DR.. Eagle says the results from
such solar therapy will be "amaz-
! ing"
