I fear that Bome of you will not receive your check promptly, duf to the fact that in some Instaoalt the Post Office does not have your name. If you have hiul difficulty In reeeiv lng letters from me, due to the fact it has gone to another per son by the same name, please see your mall carrier or post master and give him your correct ad dress. If you have , moved to an other farm also advise him of the change in address. If you will do this I am sure much confusion will be eliminated in receiving checks. Those receiving checks have received about 11<J for their cot ton option, which is almost lc higher than It was In December when many of the optiona were sold. The delay ot about two weeks In starting to distribute op tions has mefcnt a profit to this county of about 17,000.00. Farmers will receive about $38,000.00 for options held after taking cotton out ot production, this with the $48,000.00 In bene fit payments will make a total ot $86,000.00 the producers realised by Joining hands with a million other farmers in raising the price of cotton.
