FARM PLANS SIGNED
BT 2891 GROWERS
A total of 2891 grower* of
Franklin County will cooperate
with the 1940 Agricultural Con
servation Program, E. Y. Floyd,
AAA executive officer of N. C.
State College, announced follow
ing receipt of signed Farm Plans
signifying such intention. The
"Bripie-A Hats 2902 farms in this
connty.
The "sign-up" for the 1940
program ia an increase over the
968 farmers who earned pay
ments under bhe 1939 Agricul
tural Conservation program.
Floyd expressed himself as high
ly pleased over the participation
indicated in this county.
Every farmer in the county was
given an opportunity to sign a
Farm Plan, on which he listed the
soil building practices be intends
to carry out. He received a copy
of the Farm Plan which showed
the type of practices in the pro
gram, and how much he could
earn from each. The Plan also
listed the individual grower's al
lotments for soil depleting crops,
which he must plant within to
earn payments.
Floyd said that in the State as
a whole, Farm Plans were sign
ed by 223,104 out of the 236,546
eligible farmers. This is an ap
proximate 94 percent "sign-up"
and is a decided contrast with
the 113,598 farms on which pay
ments were earned in 1939.
"A preliminary check of the
Farm Plans shows that more
farms will be operated under
conservation methods than ever
before," Floyd declared. "The
approved practices, such as the
application of lime and phos
phate, seeding legumes and
grasses, the use of cover and
greeninanure crops, and tree
planting will have their greatest
use in the State this year."
Bl'Y COTTON UOODS
Kaeford. N. C., May 8. ? T. B.
Upchurch, Jr., President of the
North Carolina Unit of the Na
tional Cotton Council and a well
known cotton gijower of this sec
tion. today endorsed National
Cotton Week to be celebrated May
17-25 and urged North Carolin
ians to support the campaign to
increase t'he consumption of cot
ton goods. He said that this an
nual event has done much in the
past to help prices of the South's
major cash crop.
Consumers are being asked to
make purchases of cotton goods
and favor products put up in cot
ton containers. Chain stores and
other retail outlets are actively
supporting the campaign. They
plan to feature cotton goods in
window displays and on bargain
counters, as well as using cotton
bagging for products purchased in
bulk and for products packaged
for retail sale.
Upchurch said that 75.000
stores cooperaied in the nation
wide promotions for National
Cotton Week last year. Cotton
fabrics, domestics, and apparel
were the highlights of the week's
business in retail trade.
The Cotton Council leader
pointed out that with production
of cotton expected to increase
substantially in North Carolina
this year over the 445.000 bales
grown on 746,000 acres in 1M9.
it is important to farmers that the
National Cotton Week campaign
be successful. "Tf the average
price could be booswd even slight
ly over the 9 cents per pound that
last year's crop brought it would
put many thousands of dollars
into the pockets of North Caro
lina farmers and in turn into the
pockets of merchant* aud other
business men," Upchurch declar
ed.
In conclusion. Upchurch called
upon the people of the State to
support this producer-consumer
event at a time when declining
tobacco prices leave the future of
agriculture and business in a pre
carious; position.
Don't take chances when you
drive.
