'A L00KI2I' UP
By: A. M. DAVIS
During the past few weeks I have
talked with several farmers from
this area who were interested In
some kind of corn storage facilities
for this community. This Is some
thing sorely needed not only for
the corn that may be offered for
sale but that which the farmer
expects to use in his own feeding.
This part of the state seems to
be more susceptible to weevil in
festation than some parts of the
country and adequate drying and
storage seems to be the only solu
tion for us.
Our government Is Infilling a
number of storage bins throughout
the state but none of them are
near enough to us to help with our
problem. Duplin county is one of
the largest corn growing counties
in the state yet the nearest bins
are approximately 50 miles away.
I think we were asleep and just
did not ask for them as we should
have done. Or, maybe those wh
selected the places for them to be
built thought that the large bins
being built in Wilson would take
care of us. If they did they were
wrong in their way of thinking..
We need drying and storage here
in Duplin County.
Last fall I bought corn for the
mill for as little as- 90 cents per
bushel in the shuck. Most of it
was not good corn. It was too wet
for storage after it was shelled. If

an attempt was made to store . it
and it did not rot the weevils would
Infest it very fast and make it unfit
for milling purposes. I did not
have a drier and the best I could
do was give 90 cents for the corn
and use all I could before it spoiled
and sell all I could for what I could
get for it to the mills in the west
ern part of the state. They ground
it as soon as possible and shipped
it back to us In feed at a much
higher price than we received for
it - v
AH of us realize, that this is not
a healthy situation.
Anybody with a thimble full of
brains realizes that a farmer can
not make corn and sell it for 90
cents with fertilizer and labor the
price it is now. We have got to
try and work out some plan to
take care of the surplus corn at a
fair price and also be able to store
corn for stock feeding without ta
king the loss that has been cus
tomary in the past few years.
Farmers in this area, at the pres
ent time, whenever they are able
to locate local corn, are paying $2
per bushel for it for feeding pur
poses. The local corn they are buy
ing is. weevil eaten and the rats
have not been doing it any good
at all. With the increase in price
oMiogs that is not profitable to the
feeder. We have got to work out
some plan to keep our own corn
and feed it to livestock or sell it
when prices are favorable.
We might be able to pursuade
government officials that ours is
a favorable location for a corn dry
ing and storage plant. But, I am not

so sure this would be the best plan.
We are getting to much into gov
ernment control and regulations,
It would be much better if the
farmers could own something of
their own here and be able to con
trol it as they saw fit. They could
borrow from the government and
sell to the government, if that was
the profitable way to do, ir if in
dividuals or the local mills offered
a better price they could sell to
them. Very few of the small mills
have adequate storage and this
would be an asset to them.
What I think would be a good
plan to set such a plan into a real
ity was offered by a farmer several
days ago. He sell about 1000 bush
els of corn each year and also feeds
a lot of stock. A farmer need not
be a 1000 bushel farmer to have a
part in the plan he offered.
His plan was to get estimates on
the cost of grain drying and stor
age plants of say 2S.000, 50,000 and
75,000 capacities. Then find out
how much of the cost the govern
ment would loan toward the plant
if the farmers of this area would
finance the balance. The cost to the
farmers could be figured down to
the cost per bushel storage. Then
a farmer could buy the number of
bushels storage he would expect
to use each year. Then he would
have his drying and storage facili
ties here for a set number of bu
shels and it would be belong to
him.
In order to retire the government
loan the farmer would pay the
regular charges for drying and sto
rage to the plant each year. A board
of directors would be appointed by'
the farmer owners from their
group to select the manager and
keep track of all operations of the
plant.
If the farmers were fortunate
and the plant was a success the
.government loan would be paid
off in a few years. Then the plant
would belong to the subscribing
farmers and after the operation
costs were paid the profits would
be divided and distributed to the
owners in the form of dividends.
I think this was an excellent
suggestion but the main thing now
is how could we get a man or sev
eral men to work out the plan and
put it into operation. The farmers
have got to see the opportunity
such a plan offers themselves and
try to work it out for themselves.
I believe some of the people iq
town would help if a move was
started toward, such a project and
I feel sure the agriculture workers
would offer all the help and sug
gestions they could.
It is up to us. We have a good
corn crop prospect this year and
if the war does not continue until
harvesting time I predict that the
