Thev are said to be the biggest
Plymouths ever built with a long-
er wheelbase of 114 inches and,

comfort, interior luxury, safety!
and performance. i

Orderly Marketing
Cotton is Necessary
Gore Has Bonded Warehouse.
Orderly marketing apd not
"dumping" will be the order of
the day with cotton farmers this
Fall, commented John Gore, mana
ger of the Rockingham Bonded
Warehouse, here today upon his
return from Raleigh where he
attended a conference with more
than 60 managers of other State
bonded warehouses in North
Carolina. 1
"Our farmers are faced with
the shortest crop in 37 years and
they fully realize the ' importance
of getting the highest possible
price for their cotton," Mr. Gore
said.
The meeting in Raleigh was
sponsored by the N. C. Cotton
Growers Co-operative Associa
tion as a means of familiarizing
the managers of the official ware-,
houses of the Association with
the regulations of i theU 938 gov
ernment loan" as welF as with the
government's regufettons-in re
gard to the marketing of cotton.
M. G. Mann, general manager
of the Cotton Association, pre
sided over the meeting- and out
lined to the assembled worehouse
nien the many- advantages the
"Re-Purchase Pool" plan offers
to the farmer in the marketing
of his cotton. .
Mr. Gore stated that his ware
house is prepared to get for farm
ers the government loan and that
furthermore, as the official ware
house of the Cotton Association
in this section, it can obtain the
loan in such a way that the farm
er will secure all of the advan
tages of the "Re-Purchase Pool'
in the marketing of his cotton.
Mr. Gore, who inspected the
new home of the Cotton Associa
tion while in Raleigh, said that
he was most favorably imppress
ed with the Association's classing
room where every bale is classed
under the direct supervision of a
government licensed "classer'
Emphasizing the importance of
farmers securing their govern
ment loan in such a way as to
get a fair class and the full
grade and staple premium, the
local warehouseman manager
pointed out that the premiums al
lowed on the government loan run
as high as $12.25 per 500-pound
bale for good middling inch and
one-eighth or longer cotton.
"Other typieal premiums, based ...on
a 500-pound bale, were given as
fallows: - "'
Inch and one-sixteenth good
middling or better, $7.50 ; strict
middling, $6.75 ; middling, $5.00.
Inch cotton good middling or
better, $5.50; strict middling,
