Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer of N. C.‘ State College. The stamps will be redeemable at retail stores for fin ished cotton goods. “In effect,” Floyd said, “the sup plemental cotton program is an ex tension of the principle of the Cot ton Stamp Plan of the Surplus Mar keting Administration which is now operating for low-income families in areas throughout the United States Under the new program, more cot ton-goods buying power is extended to cotton farmers whose wardrobes and linen closets, paradoxically enough, contain far too few articles made from cotton.” The program works this way, the AAA leader explained: For pQanting less than the acreage allotment in 1941, or the measured acreage in 1940, whichever is less, stamps will be issued to growers at the rate of 10 cents a pound times the normal yield of the underplanted acreage in 1941. However, the stamps will not be issued in amounts In excess of $25 per family in the case of sharecrop pers, tenants, and owner-operators. Owners of more than one farm, or a farm operated by more than one tenant, may qualify for a maximum of SSO worth of stamps. ’ “This program,” Floyd declared, “offers an additional opportunity to improve the living standards of cot ton farmers, to further reduce the acreage of cotton this year, and to provide more cotton goods for the people who produce cotton. Farmers will be encouraged by the farm agents of the Extension 'Service to produce more vegetables, fruits, to organize 4-H clubs and offered his cooperation to the club in any way he could be of any service.
