Washington, Sept. 19. ? In the
forenoon yesterday there was re
vealed rather definite liens of
cleavage, or demarcation, in NRA
circles over the proposed regula
tion of prices In the nation's 1,
500,000 retail stores, a form of
government regulation aimed in
part at the "chains," while there
was made available in the after
noon the tobacco marketing
agreement promulgated, It has
been officially explained, on the
initiative of the secretary of ag
riculture, the first venture of this
kind under the AAA. The devel
opments of the day served as a
reminder of the view, quite prev
alent among economists, that
there is logically no stopping
place now Bhort of complete eco
nomic regimentation.
There was confirmation yester
day of facts set forth recently by
this bureau, relative to the pro
jected tobacco agreement, now
launched in tentative form, and
which is to be given consideration
in a conference called for Thurs
day, when manufacturers, buyers,
government officials, and the'
growers' council, named a few
days ago by a convention of grow
ers in this city when Governor
Ehringhaus presided, will parti
cipate.
The agreement as made public
late this afternoon apparently
contemplates a degree of govern
ment supervision over the tobac
co industry similar to that under
taken in connection with fluid
milk, and it is recalled that Pres
ident Rooeevelt, in an executive
order Issued recently while on a
fishing trip off the New England
coast, placed tobacco and tobacco
products, and milk and milk pro
ducts, under the supervision of
the agricultural adjustment ad
ministration, as distinguished
from the general run of industrial
codes.

Hold For
Higher Prices
Urging cotton growers to hold
their cotton for higher prices
which he said should result from
the acreage reduction campaigns,
increased consumption and gen
eral rise in commodity prices un
der NRA, M. G. Mann, secretary
treasurer of the North Carolina
Cotton Growers Cooperative As
sociation, addressed a meeting of
Franklin County farmers In the
court house here Monday morn
ing.
"Don't sell a single pound of
your cotton at present prices If
you don't have to," Mr. Mann
told the growers, j He pointed
out that with the rise In price of
the things the farmer has to buy,
nine-cent cotton will buy no more
this year than six-cent cotton
would buy last year.
As Indication* that cotton
prices will rise before another
planting time. Mr. Mann pointed
to the recent "plow up" campaign
which removed several million
bales Qf cotton from this year's
crop, the plans for cotton acre
age reduction next year, and the
Increase In cotton consumption
as people go back to newly-cre
ated-by-NRA /obs.
Mr. Mann pointed out that
seed loan borrowers do not havo
to *ell their cotton by October 31
to pay their loan* but that the
administration has given them
the right to store their crop in
a bonded warehouse for orderly
marketing, and In so doing It
warmly endorsed cooperative
marketing.
He recalled that seed loan bor
rowers who collateralized their
loans last year with cotton' on a
9 Her basis made a profit of rrom
$15 to $18 per bale over those
who sold their crop outright at
six to seven cents or less per
pound.

Gin-Cut Cotton
"Gln-cuttlng" Reduces Value j>f
Cotton, and Should be Guard
ed Against
Raleigh, Sept. 18. ? Warning
that ginning cotton while it is
still "too green" results in "gin
outting" which reduces its value
has been issued by D. D. Wil
liams, sales manager of the
North Carolina Cotton Growers
Cooperative Association.
He urged farmers to allow
their cotton to "dry' thoroughly"
before sending it to the gin and
then "to insist on better ginning."
"With our State due to have
the shortest crop in years, it
seems to me that our cotton pro
ducers should be Interested in
getting the most out of every
bale," Mr. Williams said.
Pointing out that cotton is
coming In freely to the associa
tion. Mr. Williams commented:
We are very much pleased with
the staples that we are getting,.
On Friday only one bale was
received that stapled below 15
16-inch, showing quite conclus
ively the go6d results that our
farmers are enjoying from plant
ing Improved seed.
"A goodly per cent of our cot
ton is running 1 1-32 to 1 1-16
and the only criticism we have
to ofTer is that the farmers are
ginning their cotton too green
and in this manner reducing its
value."
The cotton cooperative, now in
its 12th season, pays a premium
to its more than 16,000 members
on all cotton better than middling
7-8.
"The farmer," Mr. Williams
concluded, "seems to have don-;
his share with the aid of nature
in producing a fine quality of
cotton this year, but he should
go a step further and cooperate
with his glnner by not asking
that his cotton be ginned while
it is too green."
"The farmer's only hope for
better conditions lies along the
cooperative highway." said Mr.
Mann as he pointed out that
nothing was done about the to
bacco situation until the grow
ers got their heads together and
put pressure on Washington.
He said that the plight of the
cotton farmer would now be much
worse than It is were it not for
the cotton cooperative associa
tion, "already here with 11
years of success back of it and
still fighting at all times for the
interest of the farmers."
Mr. Mann went from here to
Warrenton where in the after
noon he addressed a meeting of
Warren County farmers.

you can well realize we are only

swept by this storm, therefore we
snould always cooperate to the

be in a position to care for our

upon National Headquarters for
whatever aid we might need, such
as, food, clothing, nurses, medicat
attention, hospitalization and what
ever we might have to have In

chapter in cooperHtion *|ith its

stand ready at all times to render
vnatever aid Is just and necessary

Louisburg and Franklin County to
contribute to the Red Cross Fund

operate with the various Red
Cross workers in this County at

fortunate as to have a catastrophe,
such as Eastern Carolina Is experi
