Cotton Stamp Program
Extended To Producers
Almost universal approval has
been accorded the supplemental cot
ton program, whereby the grower
will receive Cotton stamps in ex
change for a voluntary reduction in
his cotton acreage, reports E. 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.

V/'ES sir, Mister,vyour friend means just than
* if you eon afford any new car, you can afford a
Pontiac "Torpedo”!
Here’s why: although Pontiac is a big car in
every way—big in size, comfort and performance,
it is actually a low-priced car—in fact, just a few
dollars more than the three lowest-priced cars!
And many owners will tel%ou that you really pay
no more for a Pontiac—yon simply invest more,
because, thanks to Pontiac’s reputation for depend
ability, von will undoubtedly get those few extra
dollars back again in a higher trade-in allowance!
