Nearly Half Of ?
Production Loans
Paid, Says White
The Henderson Production Credit
Association, which serves the coun- ol
ties of Warren, Vance and Gran- cc
ville, is a permanent organization at
and is looking forward to doing a ie
bigger business next year, according ti
to H. E. White of Henderson, sec- ai
retary-treasurer of the organization, tl
He said that the capital stock of oi
the association has been increased tl
to $129,000.00 and that plans are
being made to begin receiving ap- w
plications early after Christmas for C
the coming year. ai
Borrowers who have stock will a1
not be required to purchase new 01
stock unless their loans the coming a
year exceed their loans this past S?
fear; the secretary-treasurer stated.
He added that borrowers who sc
wish to dispose of their stock after hi
they have paid their loans in lull ai
may place it with the association
and it will be sold when the loaning
season begins after Christmas. 0]
Qualifying a statement that col- fc
lections are good, Mr. White points ir
out that to date nearly half of the
funds loaned to borrowers have been jg
repaid. He said that $162,205.21 g;
was borrowed by 781 persons living t(!
in the territory served by the asso- r{
ciation during the year and that to
date $76,989.68 had been collected, b(
with 235 borrowers paying their account
in full.
Arrangements have been made, ^
according to Mr. White, for borrow- h
ers in Warren county to pay their
loans at the Citizens Bank in Warrenton
and those in Granville county
can pay theirs at the Oxford
National Bank. Borrowers in
Vance county are expected to come
to the office on the second floor in

C0UP0NS4 CENTS
Walker Says Grower* Wish- m
ing To Buy Additional ^
Certificates May Do So m
METHOD OF PROCEDURE p,
tc
Cotton certificates from the national
pool may be purchased at 4
cents per pound through the office
of J. T. Walker, assistant in cotton "J
adjustment, in the Bank of Warren
Building. "
Mr. Walker In making the announcement
explained that due to e(
the drought in the southwest, cot- ^
ton producing states failed to produce
the amount of cotton allotted c
to them. The government permitted
them to form a national pool to
sell these excess allotment certi
ficates at 4 cents a pound to farm- 0
ers exceeding their allotments.
Coupons for a million pounds of p
cotton have been sent to Mr. Wal- a(
ker. When a grower, wishing to avoid
the tax on cotton in excess of his 0j
allotment applies for a cer- ^
tain number of pounds, Mr. Walker
wires the national pool which, g
if any certificates are on hand, re- *
leased the number requested. In
4-U.i. x a*
max evens, sne iarmer pays for these
coupons or certificates at the rate
of four cents for each pound of
lint cotton represented. Since the
tax is 50 per cent on all cotton C(
grown in excess of the allotment,
farmers may save from 2 to 3 cents 1a!
a pound by purchasing these cer-jP'
tificates from the assistant in cot- JP
ton adjustment. Iir

EXCEisS COTTON PLAN IS
EXPLAINED BY SHEFFIELD P'
College Park Station, Raleigh, I fc
Oct. 11.?All actual cotton growers J'"
who have produced more than their ls?
allotments under the Bankhead act d
may sell this excess cotton by pur-1 di
chasing additional tax exemption I la
certificates, whether they are con-|r<
tract signers or not. I w
Or the overproducers may sell I fi
their excess cotton by paying the
full tax of 5.66 cents a pound. But Ir
certificates may be obtained for 4 h<
cents a pound and there are enough 1 sl
extra certificates for all who need I ti
them, said Charles A. Sheffield of fe
State College. I ti
Sheffield said there is no founda-1 ai
tion to the reports now current in h
the state that growers who did notjai
sign contracts will not be allowed I r<
to sell their excess cotton by buying I ai
the extra certificates but must payjti
the whole tax. |t\
He also pointed out that so long J f
as a contract signer's excess cotton I d
was produced on the acreage allott-1 ci
ed him in his contract, he will nnt L.
be violating this contract by selling h
the excess.
Provision was made that growers c
who failed to produce tneir Bank- q

HOW'S YOUR ROAD??Members *
of the State Highway and Public n
Works Commission estimate "con- si
servatively" that it will require upwards
of $2,000,000 to "restore" the n
old county roads or secondary state h
system to the condition they were 8
in when the Legislature hamstrung
expenditures two years ago. C;
If the next Legislature diverts n
highway funds the state will suffer e
a $1,000,000 "penalty" in federal n
funds each year of the coming bi- w
ennium. With all the varied and n
sundry demands for diversion, de- tj
mands for purchase of toll bridges
and lowering of the license tax it j
is not impossible that North Carolina
may become known for its

"A gain in membership was re- ?

rhe organization did not suffer a <

uring the period of stress; such <
ecrease as occurred was checked I
ist year, and the response to the '

"Immediately after President

"The federal government, cooper- j,

ndertaken to see that nobody in

here is still much left for private '

emands for service during the

tayed on the first job until the
ar ended, and they will stay on
ow, I am sure, until the depres- 1
[on is finally ended.
"Red Cross services to the public
lust be continued at their present
igh peak," he concluded. "The oranization
must stand ready at all 1
mes to answer calls for relief In '
atastrophes, great and small; it '
lust be ready for any sort of gov- [
