Seed Loan Borrow ers Recognized Cotton Growers To Receive 9)4 Cents Collaterallzatlon On Loans ?Must Be Stored At the request of a large number of Senators and Congressman, co operative associations, and individ uals in the cotton growing states, the Secretary of Agriculture has agreed to liberalize the terms of the Crop Production Loans in these states for the relief of the distressed cotton farmers. The plan will eaafe the burden of repayment of sp^h loans and should result in improving the cotton market. / The purpose of this pi ah Is to en Courage the storage of cotton, re lieve the preasure on the market, and assist the farmers to care for their families during the coming winter. This action is also taken in furtherance of the efforts of the Administration to aid the farmers of the country. Cotton will be accepted Jia collat eral for crop production loans of 1932 and unpaid balances on loans made prior to 1932 on the basis of ? He per pound middling, 7-8 inch. Borrowers who wish to take advan tage of the collateral plan will be r required to deliver their cotton to the Cotton Cooperative . Associations or to Federal Bonded Warehouses. When delivered to . the latter, cot ton must be insured and warehouse receipts will be required to be de livered Unauthorised field agents of the Secretary or to the Regional Col lection office on sufficient cotton to collateralize the loan at the price above . mentioned rather than on the quantity required at curt-em market prices. Differentials will be prepared to provide premiums for staple longer than 7-8 Inch and grades better than middling and likewise discounts for short staple and lower grades. All cotton deposited as collateral must be graded by Federal licensed Classen. When cotton Is stored as collat eral an agreement must be signed by the borrower whereby he reserv es the right of selling such cotton at any time prior to March 1, 1933 and authorises the .Secretary to sell same In his discretion at any tlnie subsequent to that date. Warehouse receipts will be re quired on sufficient cotton to cover the amount of the loan ' together with storage and insurance charges and any advance which may be made for picking and ginning expenses. When the cotton is finally sold the borrower will be credited with the proceeds, of the sale, tn the event that the proceeds are not sufficient to pay the full amount of the loan the balance will remain as an obli gation of the borrower. If the pro ceeds of sales are more than suffi cient to pay the loan and the inter est, the balance will be refunded. The above plan trill permit farm er* to fully collateralise their loans from the Secretary and to the same time permit them to dlapose of the balance of their crops for cash.

Scientists Wrong . . . Another Eclipse Due .Hoover or Roosevelt, which will go into cclipK on November 8? '? No man know i lor a certainty .? . . rat the nation-wide straw vote being conducted by this newspaper, together with some 2,000 weekly newspapers throughout the country, shows which is favored to "shine on." . . . Have you cast your vote yet ? Why not do so today ? Weekly Newspapers Everywhere Combine' For Small Town Vote - l ? Illinois and West Virginia First New York, Oct. 10. ? From north, south, east and west came reports of the launching of the nation-wide presidential poll conducted by week ly newspapers. These first-week returns cover reports from twenty states ? and with 28 states yet to be heard from. More than 2,000 weekly newspapers are cooperating in the poll, the object being to show the choice for president in small towns and rural America. The first official Totes in the ac tual poll come from Editor Herman P. Dean of the Wayne County (W. Va.) News. The vote there regis** tered, Roosevelt 831, Hoover <?#. Counteracting this is the acceptance of The Milan (111.) Independent's straw vote, where Editor O. D. Ken dall reports. Hoover 851 to Roose velt's 223. Both these votes are of course from individual newspapers, with still many sections in their re spective states still to be heard from. In Ohio, Editor Charles L. Collett of the Ironton News, reports, Hoo ver 778, Roosevelt 1654 at the end of the fourth week of balloting. This nation-wide presidential poll by weekly newspapers, hi which THE FRANKLIN TIMES Is cooper ating, gives promise ot piling up a big final vote which should fairly accurately indicate the preference ot voters in small towns and rural districts throughout the nation. A minimum of five weekly news papers, to a maximum of 25 week lies in the following states have ie ported to the New York offices of The Piijilishers Autocaster Service that they are conducting this presi dential poll. These weekly news papers are located in the following states; M^uesota, Ohio, Illinois. Iowa, Arkansas, North Carolina, Michigan, Maine, Kentucky, Virgin la, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Texas, Pennsylvania, MisaUsippl, Georgia. Alabama, Florida, Missouri and New York. The reports from the above states is only an indication of the national C:ope In this weekly newspaper^ poll nd how complete it will be when >11 the rotes are recorded. The first tabulation of nation-wide straw votes 'should be possible in time ? for publication next week. Taking first reports from West Virginia and Illinois, as shown above, Indicate that possible surprises are in store for many of the political minded. In Iowa, The Des Moines Register and Tribune, has been conducting a state-wide poll ... a total of more than 75,000 ballots having been re ceived. The announcement of the tqtsl there, at the end of the firat week in October, showed, Hoover 27,9'Sl, Roosevelt 45,509. This gives Roosevelt 60.6 per cent and Hoover 37.2 per cent of the vote qast, re versing the normal in Iowa, which ordinarily casts a 60 per cent Re publican vote. It is very possible that the weekly newspaper poll from Iowa, as will be shown in this poll, will level out the Des Moines vote and show Hoover running much closer to Roosevelt in Iowa.

This plan provides (or the government to receive warehouse re ceipts for cotton at 9 1-2 cents a round basis middling 7-8 in staple ;is collateral, or credit against the lean of the Individual farmer. After enough cotton has been delivered at this price to offset the loan the re mainder of the crop is to be released to the borrower to use in the main tenance of his family or liquidating other indebtedness. The cotton is stored at the growers optional sale till March 1st, 1923, after which time the power of sale Is vested in tlia Secretary of Agriculture.

He stated the Association is 10 years bid, and has handled on an annual t verage of 110,000 bales, that It baa l ever lost a dollar until the bank failures last year, that It now has ever 1200,000 In reserves. Among the major things it has done for the cot ton grower were to help stop the Western States from passing laws boycotting cotton seed products, launched movement to take seven t ud a half million bales of cotton oB the market, Is now promoting hold ing off large quantities this year, secured a reduction in freight rates of 42 1-2 cents a bale over last year, helped to restore seed loans this year, fcnd promoted and secured the plan to collateralize cotton at 9 1-2 cents a pound this year, all ot which bene fits accrue to the non-member as well aa the member. At the conclusion of the address many individual questions were ssk ed and answered, among which was the landlord, who received the re mainder of the tenants crop after his loan had been collateralized, respon sible for any remainder that might be due in the ftnal settlement.
