Smaller '55 Cotton
Crop Is Forecast
September 1 Estimate;
For State Is 340,000
Bales
Bn?ed upon conditions as of Sep
tember 1, the 1955 production of
cor.tor in North Carolina is fore
<ast at 340,000 bales of 500 pounds
gross weight. Such a production
voul' 4 be 60,000 bales, or 15 per
cent below the 400,000 bales fore
cast un August 1, and just slight!.;
below the 364,000 bales harvested
in 19*4.
Tin smaller total production now
in prospect reflects (he damage to
the crop resulting from hurricanes
and heavy rains during the last half
of August, according to the North
Carolina Crop Reporting Service.
Yield per acre on the 463,000
a eras for harvest is calculated at
352 pounds lint cotton, compared
with 310 pounds per acre last year,
Mid 33-! pounds the 10-year (.1944-
sv) average.
A; the time of the August 1 fore
cast an; unusually gobd crop was in
urosptet over practically the entire
cotton area of the State. Good pi- ■
gross continued until August 12 ■
when Hurricane Connie swept
aeros.- the eastern half of the
State. Plants were badly whipped
and additional damage was caused
by heavy rains. Hurricane Diane
followed Connie by five days, being
preceded and accompanied by un
usually heavy rainfall Al.-e. heavy 1
r-iin continued throughout tile n
r.iainder of the month. Fruiting "f
plant was brought to a halt and
infestations of lioll weevils and hoi'
worms were sharply increased a.-
rlie result of these unfavorable con
d>tii>tis Although deterioration is
.ideated for all areas of the St .p
the most severe damage is repr.i t

Here’* a simple plan for sending your
youngsters through college:
If you want to give your children the bene
fits of a college education, you d better
gtart preparing for it now. And one of
the easiest, surest ways to do it is by in
vesting regularly in U. S. Savings Bonds
through the Payroll Savings Plan.
Here's all you have to do. Sign up at the
pay office where you work, and tell the
people there how much you can afford to
put aside each payday. They 11 save that
amount for you. It will be set aside from
j-o-ur salary before you get your check.
That money is imested fur you m the
world s safest investment—V. S. Savings
Bonds. The Bonds are made out in your
name and given to you. Then you just
hold on Jo them and let the interest pile up.
