This Season. |
North Carolina Cotton Growers Co
operative Association, who is a mas-1
that the North CaroKaa farmerswill
receive approximately 20 per cent
more, for their 1941 cotton than they
did for their crop of a year ago,
despite an expected 32 per .ant de
crease in production.
Mr. Thoroe baaed his .prediction
on an official government production
estimate of 497,000 lades for the 1941
season, against a 1940 production of
732,000 bales foir the State.
Bat even a 10 per cent gain in
cotton income may be increased, he
said, if farmers will collectively re
fuse to fldod the market with their
newly-picked crop. N i . V .
. "If farmers will net act , too
hastily and market their cotton the
moment it is ginned," Mr. Thbrrie
said, "there is a good possibility that
their income from their 1941 crop
may be farther increased. Our gov
eminent has placed a floor of 14.02
cents a pound on 7-8-inch middling
gross weight, baaed on parity prices
of 16.4ft cents for August 1/'
Whereas at one time over two
thirds of the American cotton crop
was exported, our own miBB are now
consuming cotton at almost the same
rate at which it is being produced*
. he said. "It ia estimated now ihat
only 10,827,000 bales will be produc
ed in this country this year. Many
leaders in the cotton industry express
themselves as feeling that this will
be the largest estimate announced
this year, and with domestic con
sumption exceeding 10,000,000. bales
annually, if we have only 1,OOO$O0
bales of export business, we can
readily see that there will be no fur
ther increase in carryover. In fact,
it will probably be necessary to draw
on the government's ioan stock to
meet the demand.
"1 firmly believe," Mr. Thome
continued, "that if we cotton grow
ers will place our cotton in bonded
warehouses and hold it until next
spring, we win get much more out
of this crop than if we rush it to
market as soon as it is ginned, .C
? "Last fall I begged fanners not
to sell their cotton because I was
certain in my own mind that the
mice would advanee. Those farm
era who held their cotton have been
richly rewarded, securing prices over
and above last falls price* of from
?10 to ^5 a bale and more." W"'
_ Mr. Thome emphasized the need,
for careful marketing of a crop that
requires an entire year to produce.,
"The He-Purchase Pool' of the Cot
ton Cooperative Association, of
which Pre been a member , tmee '
1922," he said, "offers to farmer* the
fairest and squares! way to market
their cotton than they have ever had
before.
"I can deliver my cotton td -tfce

of the maximum advance I can get
through the 4Re-Purehase Pool,'
which equals loans made by the gw

a bale. If the Association sells- my
cotton for me at my request, I only
have to pay an additional 25 cents
a bale to cover the cost of deliver
ing the cotton to" the mills."
Quality and acreage yield is im
portant, Mr. Thome said, but "that
is only part of the -way. Until we
market in a way to get the highest
possible price the day we sell our
cotton, based on grade and staple
values, we have not taken the fall
step toward making cotton produc
tion profitable.
"Our government is doing ^every
thing it can and rightly so to pre
vent inflation, but we all know that
if this war continues more of our
land will have to be used in the
production of food and feed crops,
which may make it necessary to-far
ther reduce the aeresge of ear-money
crops. Therefore in order as farm
ers to get our share of increased in
