COTTON CO-OPS
ADVANCE 90 PER
CENT OF VALUE
New Plan of Making Ad
vances Announced By
U. B. Blalock
♦
"The North Carolina Cotton Grow
ers Cooperative Associatoin will con
tinue to advance approximately 90 per
cent of the value of cotton on the pres
ent market," announced Vice President
and General Manager U. B. Blalock
recently.
"On account of the increasing per
centage of lower grades and some gin
cuts we find it necessary to allbw flic
members to draw only 8 cents per
pound on seasonal pool cotton and 7
cents per pound on optional pool in
order to avoid overdrafts from pome
of our members. "As soon as the cot
toe is classed additional checks yill
be mailed out on seasonal pool cotton
to .bring it up to approximately 90
per cent of the average price being
P«id on local markets.
"We fully realize that the producer
needs all the money he can command
right now, and it will be our purpose
to mail out checks once a week cov
ering these additional advances and
•will only l»e prevented in doing so on
account of the exceedingly heavy re
ceipts just at this time. In making up
thtse checks, the average values for
tlx week covering these deliveries will
be used.
"These checks will also carry the
amount due ifti each bale for grades and
staples better than middling 7-8. As
an illustration, this means that if the
90 per cent average market value for
the week entitles the. member to -it
he will be given his additional one cent
per pound, and if Ins'bale should grade

be entitled to draw 25 points for grade
better than middling and 70 point*
more on account of the extra staple,
making a total advance he would be
entitled to of 9:95 on strict middling
inch cotton.
"On September Ist we announced to
the cotton producers that we were ad
vancing 9 cents p#r pound, but that
our advance for this season would be
on a percentage basis, and therefore
subject to the (lie and fall of the
market.
Any further advances on optional
'pool cotton will depend upon the val
ut of the cotton after it is classed, and
the stability of the market. In order
t« avoid calling for margins on de
clines we myst start with sufficient
margin.

years, and It is a splendid medicine,"
writes Mrs. Bernlce Brack, of 230
Thirty-second Street, this city.
"Sometimes I am subject to colds
and constipation, and I find It to
be the finest thing for this.
"My mother used Thedford's
Black-Draught In her home for
years, and It was there that I began
taking it. She thought It was so
good that she had me to use It, and I
have never found any medicine that
would take its place satisfactorily.
"I find Black-Draught fine for
BOUT stomach and gas. A few doses
taken for several nights rid the sys
tem of poison due to constipation and
it makes me feel like a new person.
"I try to keep Black-Draught al
ways on hand, and I treat all small
Illness with it. I can certainly rec
ommend it for I have found it very
good and dependable."
In thousands of families, this
