BENEFITS ARE PHASIZED BY P.M.A. CHAIRMAN With the price ot most grains down to or below Government support lefels, G. T. Scott, State Chairman of the Production and Marketing Administration, this week urged North Carolina farm ers to consider the advantages of Government price support pro grams before selling their crops at current market prices. Scott said that price, supports will be effected ' through commodity loans and „ purchase agreements on 1949-crop wheat grading No. S or "better, oats grading No. 3 or better and barley grading No. 5 or better, available to produc ers from the time of harvest through January 31, 19&0. Loans will be made on farm / or warehouse stored grain and will mature on April 30, 1950, or earlier on demand. Farmers who do not need the ready cash may be guaranteed price support by signing a purchase agree ment. Under the purchase agree ment plan a farmer must declare his intentions of selling to the Government during the month of April, 1950. Under either plan the farmer pays a small service fee. With the current movement of grain to markej' Scott noted that many inquiries especially on oats and wheat supports, had reached his office, in Raleigh. Both the loan and purchase a greement programs are adminis tered by the State PMA Office through the office of the local County Agricultural Cotiserva tion Association. Interested grain producers may get further in formation on any of the Govern ment grain support programs at the local County AAA Office.
