Danger Pointed Out >
To Farmers If They.
Underplant Cotton
Executive Says Growers
Stand to Lose Two
Ways
Underplanting cotton acreage allot-j
inents can be a costly mistake this j
year, according to M. G. Mann, gener
al manager of the N. C. Cotton Grow
ers Assoication.
“The farmer who underplants, even
though he thought he was planting his
full allotment, will lose in two ways,”
Mann said. “First, he will lose the in- j
come from the unplanted portion.
“Second, his future allotments will '
he affected if his underplanted acre
age is more than 10 per cent of his!
ailothient or one acre, which ever is!
the larger. This would also mean a
loss in total allotment to the county!
and state, Mann said.
“Having the land measured accur
ately can prevent much of this unin
tentional underplanting, the cotton
leader explained.”
For a fee, the county ASC office
will pre-measure the allotment and al
low this as the official measurement;
for compliance,
Mann also pointed out that most
communities have residents who know
how to measure land and that the ser
vices of these men could be obtained
to stake out the prescribed limits. i
“Guessing acreage can be a danger
ous practice when so much is involv
ed,” Mann said. “It seems reasonable
to assume that our cotton acreage will
be cut again next year, and if we lose
valuable acres through underplanting
this year, our problem of maintaining
farm income will become even more
serious.”

lon. Barbara White and Betty Byrum,
<of the Edenton Senior 4-H Club, gave
their demonstration before the entire
14-H Club on Friday, April 10th.
Through these demonstrations not
only do these girls learn the value of
milk and milk products, but their fel
j low students and families learn along
I with them.
Some of the milk facts brought out
are as follows: This one we all know,
at least one quart of milk is needed
up to 25 years of age. After that, at
least one pint daily. This does not j
j mean that you have to drink “just
! plain milk,” it can be used in custard,
l milk shakes, salads and many other
milk products, such as, cheese, and
butter.
Let’s compare the cost of milk with
soft drinks, which we know contain
very little food value. We find that
a six ounce bottle of soft drink costs
•5c while six ounces of whole milk at
I 25c a quart costs only 4.7 c. skimmed
[milk costs 3’ic, evaporated milk costs
3c and dry milk costs 2c. So milk in
any form costs less than a 6-ounce
j bottle of soft drink,
t We are very proud of our Junior 4-H
| girls and we feel that this previous
'training will enable them to become
State winners when they become Sen
ior members.
