Arnold Urges Farmers To Cut Down and Then Plow Up Staple,in,Con trol Campaign __________ Greenville, Aug. 10.?It is absolute- j ly necessary for growers to totally destroy the cotton they agreed to take . oat;of cultivation in connection with j the government reduction campaign, E. F. Arnold, director of the move ment in this county said today. j The expression came after reports ;i had j reached the farm office that some i farmers were plowing up their cotton < without totally destroying it Mr. i Arnold advised growers to cut it down and; then plow up to insure complete i destruction of the staple they agreed ] to take out of production. i Although the harvesting of the 1 tobacco crop has required the undivid- i ed attention of the majority of grow- < era, the farm director said about sixty :j per cent of thp -signers of the govern ment cotton contract had plowed up 1 the. staple, and that the remainder were expected to do so in the near future, or as soon as they can gat - their tobacco crop in the house. Under the federal control plan, Pitt county growers agreed to take approx- < imately 5,000 acres of cotton out of ? production, qr the equivalent of 3,000 i bales. The county was one of sev- J eral of the state to receive honorable ] mention for the fine cooperation 1 shown the movement. i It is the object of the camapjgP) tjo, ? take over three million bales out of j cultivation thereby relieving the con gestion of the world market and stim- - ulating the price situation. Prices jumped considerably at the beginning of the campaign and grounds weije ? expected to realize much bep^t front - co-operating with the gnyeoun^t j TOWES SITE TO BE MARKED F The observation tower, recently erected here by the United.
