Cotton Farmers
Advised To Pick
Cotton While Dry
Care Can Spell Differ
ence Between Loss
And Profit
An official of the North Carolina
Farm Bureau Federation urges cot
ton growers of the State to realize a
greater profit on their crop by prop
erly haresting only dry cotton and
keeping it dry for ginning.
T. B. Upchurch, Jr., of Raeford,
president of the federation and a
member of the North Carolina Cotton
Quality Improvement Committee, says
by this practice the producer can often (
add enough value to his cotton to spell
the difference between loss and profit.
He nointed out that the farmer not
only helps himself by keeping his
picked cotton dry, but also helps the
ginner to do a better job by not hav
ing to use so much heat in the drier.
Cotton mills are beginning to dis
criminate against cotton that is over
heated at the gin, he explained, be
cause excessive heating or drying of
cotton causes the fibers to be brittle
and lifeless.
“The textile mills right here in our
State,” he observed, “send buyers all
over the cotton belt looking for high
f° 1 itv cotton and are willing to pay
lr-'? prices for it if it meets their
needs. With very little added effort,
we can produce that kind of cotton in
North Carolina and get premium
prices for it. Such an effort would
not only help the producers them
selves but the whole cotton industry,
upon which our whole economy is so
vitally dependent.”
Mr. Upchurch reminded that “now
since we have acreage control, it is
highly important for all cotton grow
ers to get the most out of their cot
ton they possibly can,” and suggest
ed that “with a smaller acreage, it
should be much easier to see that the
pickers use better care in keeping
the picked cotton both dry and
clean.”
America by 1975 will use almost
twice the quantity of minerals it is
using this year. Demands for min
erals as a whole may rise 90 per cent.
Demands for iron, copper, lead and
zinc might rise 40 to 50 per cent in
the next quarter century.

requirements and the length of train- 1
ing that can be taken. They are as!
follows:
Q. Just what is the education and i
training program of the Korean Gil
Bill? |
A. It is a program of fumishingj
financial aid for schooling and train- 1
t ing to eligible veterans who served j
3 after June 27, 1950, the date of the j
- outbreak of the Korean conflict.

■! house were attractive to everyone,
•j there would be no progress in house

the utility of the barn as a thing of
■ beauty. The artist finds beauty in

One of the most deadly blockades

der conditions other than dishonor
able; (2) active military duty any
time after June 27, 1950, and before
the end of the present emergency, and
(3) at least 90 days total service, un
' less discharged sooner for an actual
I service-incurred disability.
! Q. Must a veteran have served in
j Korea to be eligible for the training
benefits ?
1 A. No. He may have served in
: the Armed Forces any place in the
world—in the United States or abroad
| —and not necessarily in Korea.
Q. Are there any kinds of military I
| service that do not count, in figuring!
! whether a veteran has enough service
[ to qualify?
j A. Two types of service do not
j count: time spent in a civilian school
studying courses offered to civilians,
and time spent as a cadet or midship
man in one of the Service academies,
j Q. Assume that a veteran meets
all the requirements for training.
May he enroll under the Korean GI! <
Bill even though he has gone back on i
active duty and is in uniform?
A. No. Veterans are not eligible ;
for Korean GI Bill training while on
active duty, even though they meet
all the law’s basic requirements.
Q. How much training entitlement!
does a veteran get?
A. An eligible veteran’s maximum
period of entitlement is computed on j'
the basis of one and one-half days for
each day spent in service on and after
June 27, 1950, and prior to the end of
the present emergency period.
Q. What is the top amount of j
training a veteran may receive?
A. The maximum is 36 months of
training.
Q. How much Korean GI Bill |
training is allowed to a veteran who !
previously had trained under the'
World War II GI Bill or Public Laws'
16 or 894 for the disabled?
A. Such a veteran must subtract 1
the period of training he already had
from 48 months. His entitlement un- .
der the Korean GI Bill may not ex- !
ceed this difference. Also, it must
come within the 36-month limit and i
may not exceed his entitlement based
on his service.
