SAC Per Ton
Support Set
For Cottonseed

10y Howard. chairman of the
Lincoln county Agricultural Sta
oilization and Conservation Com
mittee. said today that loans on
farm stored cottonseed of the 1855
crop will be available at an aver
age of $40 per ton basis Q00).
This support. he said. reflects
65 percent of the February Is pari-
ty price for average quality seed.
Purchase prices to producers
will be at an average of $42 per
ton basis grade Q0O with appro-
pirate differentials for purchases
from einnerS or oil mills to reflect
normal handling and transporta-
ton costs. Other provisions of the
program will be announced later.
Support on the 1854 crop of cot
tonseed was at loan rate of $54
per ton, or at purchase price OF
$50 per ton basis grade Q00l.
These supports reflected about rs
percent of the March Is. 1854. par
ity price for average quality seed.
Unlike last year, Mr.. Howard
explained. the 1855 cotton support
program will operate only through
loans to producers on farm-stored
cottonseed and through purchases
of cottonSeed from producers and
participating gins and oil mills.
There will be no so-called pack
age Program such as was in ef-
feet for 1854. whereby the Com
modify Credit Corporation pur-
chased end products Of cottonseed
oil. meal. and linterS from
crushing mills.
The adjusted level of support.
with a lower cotton acreage, is in
tended to give producers reason
able price support for cottonSeed
while permitting the Commodity
to move into normal trade chan
rels, without requiring CCC to
purchase any substantial amount
of cottonseed. Thus the heavy flow
of cottonseed products into CCC
inventory during the past few
wears should be halted.

Answers Timely
Farm Questions

QUESTION: The first calf
dropped by one of my beef COWS
was small. What are my chances
on the next one?
ANSWER: Records show that
cows are consistent in the weights
of calves they produce. Those
with calves below average one
year usually produce another
lightweight calf the next time,
even though they may take a
years rest.
QUESTION: Does topping and
suckering influence the nicotine
content in tobacco?
ANSWER: Yes. Both produce a
higher nicotine content in to-
bacco plants. The earlier you top
the plant and the fewer suckers
you allow to grow, the higher the
nicotine content. This occurs be-
cause nicotine made in the roots
is concentrated in the growing
top leaves, rather than being di-
luted into extra sucker growth.
QUESTION:: After I store my
grain under Commodity Credit
Corporation can't 1 just forget it?
ANSWER: No. Loss in quantity
and quality will be charged a.
gainst the farmer when final set
tlement is made or he may lose
his loan protection entirely. It's
a good idea for the farmer to
make frequent checks on the
grain and take measures to COR
rect anything that may need at
tention.

KILLED 3 MEN IN SELF DEFENSE E.
BY HELEN ROSS
In Hickory Record

MAIDEN - Trouble just SEEM
ed to dog me. Trouble and excite
men,"
"Ive killed three men in my
time-all of them in self defense
and stood trial once"
A -foot-two, leather faced
lanky seventy-five year old man
recently spoke those words mus
ingly at his old farm home on
Maiden Route One.
His story is the saga of the wild
and lawless West of the late 1800's
and the early 1900's-the rootin'-
tootin' hard hitting. hard living
life of the cowboy on a Texas
ranch.
EX-outlaW, eX-coWbOv. eX-peace
officer, Randolph Mullins took to
the tall timber from his native
Georgia when he was only sixteen
years old.
KILLED MAN
He was on the run from the law.
"Fella shot my dog. Me and him
got into an argument. He came at
me. and I shot and killed him."
That was about 1896 in the days
when $50 long as law didn't get
you, you could do as you pleased.
Never having heard of Horace
Greely and his famous admoni-
ton. this youngster headed West,
nevertheless. Out there was free
dom and an uncle.
ID. He rode by night and slept by
day, until he crossed the MiSsissi-
ppi River. But before he reached
his uncle'S home he fell in with
the then famous Redman gang in
Oklahoma. A fierce gang of men,
it was. Mullins remembers, but
loyal to each other. They lived in
caves and robbed banks and
trains.
called me the Kid" I never
went with them on their raids, eX-
cept to act as look out I guarded
the cave and bought them their
supplies in town"
He left the gang when he got
word from Georgia that he was
safe from the law on the killing.
Promising the gang leader he
would never tell on them" he left
and once more headed for his
uncle's ranch.
SHERIFF SKEPTICAL
But he did tell on the gang. in
a way. He and his uncle went to
see a judge, and told him the boy
had been an outlaw for two years
Sheriff wouldn't believe me
Said I'd been having wild dreams. p"
1t was while he was still in the
West that he killed the second
man. He said the man shot his
horse from under him and put four
bullets into his. He was advancing
to put the fatal bullet when Null
Inns got his lucky shot in. Nothing
ever came of that and Mullins
didn't run that time.
Upon recommendation from his
uncle he made his way to Texas
and the XII ranch. There he
learned, the hard way. how to be
a cowhand. Those were rough days,
he said. "I hated that bunch at
first. but l let them know l WASH t
scared of them. After they found
out I wasn't scared they took to
me all right. We all got to be good

the woman in question. I kept
my eyes peeled on her-just
waiting for the moment when
she would create a big scene.
But you know, she must
have thought was her long
lost son or something. She
put down her drink, sat up
straight, and never took her
eyes off me while I went
through a few quick songs
and gave out with the smiles.
But the minute I finished and
made my last exit. she pro-
ceeded to literally tear UP the
place and had to be tossed out
of the room.
Eyes, sir, you can't beat live
audiences. They're wonderful
if I could only keep those
butterflies from knocking on
my stomach wall. With me,
the only time I relax is when
am taking the bows. That's

Van paused and stared
s.lently into the mirror over
his dressing room table. He
watched his face go pale.
Look" he whispered. I'm
