PAGE EIGHT
Growers Are Advised
To Use Cotton Loans
Growers Losing Money
By Failure to Use
Program
Many North Carolina cotton grow- (
ers are losing money by failing to
take advantage of the government
loan program, says Dan F. Holler,'
cotton marketing specialist for the
State College Extension Service. This
is particularly true, he says, of pro-'
ducers who have cotton which has
been damaged by rain.
The lowest loan made on white
grades of cotton with a staple of
1 1/32 inch is 20.02 cents per pound.
The loan value on low middling 1 1/32
inch cotton is 26.97 cents per pound
in Eastern North Carolina and slight
ly higher in the western part of the
State. The farmer who sells this
quality cotton for 20 cents per pound
is losing approximately $35 per bale,
states Mr. Holler. I
The grower may find out the loan
value on any bale of cotton at no.
cost. All he has to do is request his j
ginner to submit cut samples to the •
government cotton classing office for
classification. The office will return
to the grower a green card showing
the grade, staple and loan value.
Classing offices, heavily overwork-'
ed a few weeks ago, now have caught;
up and are giving prompt service,-
Mr. Holler says. The Raleigh office
now is classing cotton the same day
it is received. No producer, there-1
fore, should find it necessary to wait
longer than four days from the time
the sample is mailed until he has the j
class card.
Any producer can obtain a govern
ment loan by placing his cotton in any
approved bonded warehouse or, if
the warehouses in his area are filled,
by storing it on the farm. Requests
