I Home Trash
Compacter
Is Approved
iRAlLElIiCSH. — The home trash
compacter is two years old now
and appears to be here to stay.
'The compacter didn’t take off
so quickly as other new ho.me
appliances—partly because of a
relatively high pricetag and part
ly because many homemakers jiost
didn't see a need for it.
But the focus on trash as an
env.joumemal polluter has
changed many opinions as to its
need.
The trash masher reduces the
bulk of trash to one-fourth Its
oiiginal size, explain extension
home management specialists.

i Ills means it takes up less space
both in tire home and at the dis
posal site.
Many communities are now re-
(luiiing that trash be left at the

ers find the compacted trash Is
less trouble to carry out.
3i.\ appliance- nranufacturers
now offer trash compacters as

Cotton Market
fidivity Oti
Cotton market activity was off
sharply last week, mill prices
were- mostly steady and producer
prices finm. North Carolina har
vest moved past the two-t’ irds
comiplcfed 'mark but was halted
'by rain after Tuesday, according
to E. M. Stallings. Extension Econ-
mist, Ncrth Carolina State Univer
sity.
‘•Pru.Tipf and forward delivery
sales by merchants to mills were
down during fhe week,” says Stal
lings. Mill inquiries remained
higii, but some merchants were
reluctant to sell. This was partly
due to the scarcity of available
producer cotton and its slightly
higher price. Producer cotton was
in good demand at mostly 2S.50
to 30.00 cents per pound gin run
and 850 to 1150 paints over CCC
lean rates. M'any producers ate
selling, while others are holding
until harvest is completed.”
E. C. Hanson, cf the Raleigh Cot
ton Classing Office, reports that
81,000 bale samples had 'been
classed tbreugh Friday, Novem
ber 26, and 13,661 during last
week. Of the samples classed to
date 76 percent were White, 17 'per
cent Spotted and 4 percent Light
Gr.aj'. The meet prevalent grade
was Low Middling White for 47
pcrceni., bolloA-ed by Strict Low
Middling White for 21, Middling
Light Spotted for 10 and Strict
Low Middling Light Shotted for 7
percent. Fiber streng-h has aver
aged 79,000 pounds per square
inch and fineness and maturity
oi fibers show 93 percent in the
desirable micronaire range of 3.5-
4.9. An excellent 97 percent has
measured 1 1/16 inches and long
er sttrble and 44 percent 1.3/32
inches ad longer. Samples classed
last week showed slightly more
White cotton, slightly shorter sta
ple and slightly lower grade than
the week beiore.
Stallings £i ates that stocks of
cotton at nvills on Cctober 30 to
taled 1,032,000 bales or 182,000
less than a month earlier. 158,000
above last year and aibout a 7-
wet.k supply. Cc'.lcn in public
storage on October 30 was
3,971,000 bales. This is tihe smal
lest for any similar date since
1923 and compares vyith 5,431,000
bales a year earlier.

preliminary payments -will be
made so-'-n af'rr .Tuly 1 at 15 rents

1971 production will be used in
determining farm yields, it is
very iTn-portant that growers sub
