GET A PREMIUM FOR STAPLE COT

?RalflglU?SgpL 12.?Cotton AlfiSSts
of N-orih CaroHaa have the best op.
cortuuir.- this fair of establishing The"!
iui I itr
or I .t"J
ing a
that the^have had since the World
War.
"Th;s is one year that we" ShouTd
sell our cottons ot the Inch and the
inch and one-eighth staple for the
advanced price that" such staples
bring in comparison with the ordi
nary seven-eighths inch cottons."
says Dr. R. Y. Winters.' plant breeder
and director of the North Carolina
Experiment Station. "Floods in the
delta region this spring prevented
much of the acreage normally plant,
ed to staple cotton from being used
and this has helped to increase the
premium paid for these cottons ovet
the regular seven-eighths cottons. In
fact, this premium has. been gradually
increasing since 1920 and it now
means a substantial sum to the grow
er of the better cottons. If we fail
to take advantage of this condition
this fall, the growing of staple cot
tons in North Carolina will suffer, a
severe blow." ? I
Dr. Winters believes that the grow
ers should search out those buyers
and brokers w-ho pay the advanced
premium and sell them. He states
that the Cooperative Cotton Growers j
Association has always handled this i
better cotton to the advantage of the
grower and that some few local buy- j
ers will pay the premium. But un. :
less the growers of this cotton go at
the matter in an aggressive way.j
there will be much of the inch and
longer Cotton sold at a price below
its value.
There is no Incentive for the cotton
grower to cultivate and harvest the
longer staple cotton if he is not re
warded by the increased price that
such staple rightfully should bring.
If the grower is to have his inch and
longer cottons mixed in with the short
staple and the price of the short sta
tic paid for' the whoK hlng. the
grower rightfully 1k

Wherever he met us it was Hey there
No matter when or where. ?
