With ten cents a pound being ad-j
v?need on actual cotton, the Cottooj
Cooperatives are now pushing toward j
the next stage of their "pre-war par- j
ity price" program, the making of a]
similar advance.! on "plow-up" options, j
A statement from cotton coopers- J
tive headquartera st N?w? Orleans this!
week says that an advance of four J
cents a pound on the options would J
put fifty million dollars cask into the j
hands of 660^)00 growers, and permit!
them to hold their options for such J
market advances as may be obtained!
from the acreage control in which J
these growers are taking part The I
4-cent advance, with the original 6- j
cent valuation of the options, would I
put the options on the same 10 cent!
'loan basis as actual cotton. ]
The cooperative plan also calls fori
government lonas of fifteen cents jJ
pound to growers after they have j
actually complied with the acreage!
control requirements, and the final!
step is to have the government allow!
the 10-cent loan now, and the 15-centj
loan later, on cotton which growers!
may re-purchase to replace that parti
of this year's crop which they may!
have sold. Without this last provi- j
sion, it is explained, the price raising 1
program would be of no immediate |
benefit to growers who have already!
sold their crop, as is the case with a I
very large part of them.
Practislly unanimous support has |
been voiced for the cooperative plan J
by individuals and groups to whom it j
has been presented throughout the!
cotton states. All state commission-1
n+ ncrriMilture who have expressed J
?- _
an opinion have been wholeheartedly!
for it The State Bankers Associa-j
tion of Louisiana approved it unaai-f
mously at its annual convention. One!
hundred and fifteen directors of co-j
operative gins in West .Texas gave!
unanimous endorsement, as did edf-j
tors and publishers of agricultural!
papers which go to a million and a I
quarter southern homes.
The plan is said by co-op leaders!
to be a "practical method of putting!
into effect President Roosevelt's an-1
nounced intention of restoring cotton!
and other farm commodities to their!
pre-war buying power." Cotton has!
been selling lately at about 60 per!
cent of its pre-war value, it was stat-1
ed, while things farmers must buy are j
selling at an average of 116 per cent.!
Those who approve the plan are J
urged to write Henry A. Wallace, Sec-1
retary of Agricultural, at Washing-1
ten, D. C., since "a supporter doesn't!
register approval where it counts on- J
til he registers at Washington."

Questions Answered
At State College
QUESTION:?How much artificial
light should be provided In the laying
house to increase egg production? .
ANSWER:?Two forty-watt bulbs
for each 400 square feet of floor space
give the most satisfactory results.
This is sufficient light for a stand
ard twenty by twenty laying house
ana should be placed in the center of
the house ten feet apart and six feet
from the floor. A reflector about
sixteen inches in diameter and four
inches deep should be provided for
each light bulb. The light should be
regulated so that the birds have from
twelve to fourteen hours a day to eat.
QUESTION:?13 it too late to put
in grass seed for lawns?
ANSWER:?No. While it would
have been better if the seed had been
sown in September, it is not yet too
late to get a good stand especially if
there is a moderate winter. In seed
ing, however, be sore that there is
sufficient seed used. About 45 to 50
pounds should be used to the acre.
After sowing, the seed should be
thoroughly- harrowed or raked into
the soil and covesad uniformly at?*
about one-half Inch. These conditions
apply only to the central and eastern
sections of the State as it is too
late for fall anting m the mountains^
QUESTION:?How can a fanner
get ten cents a pound loan bn his cotf
ton from the Government? '
A N 3WER:?First the grower must
own the cotton. The next step is to
store the cotton in an accepted ware
house. By accepted warehouse is
meant one that is Bcenssd under the
State or Federal laws or ope that is
approved by the lending afwacf e?
the Reconstruction Pi?nae Ccopqca
tion. The warehouse receipt is then
taken to the local bank where a note
1 for the loan and otter necessary pfri
per* are signed. These papers are ;
tinned- over-to the tent which-amy ,
advance the 10 cent ioan.

S. L. Looney, of Tampa, recently
elected president of the Production
Credit Corporation of Columbia, re
signed last week and Ernest Graham
of- Red Springs, N.- C., vice president,
was promoted to succeed him.
Announcement of the change was
made by Fraqk H.; Daniel, president
of the land bank of Columbia, after
a special board meeting at which
Loone's resignation was received:
Looney will return to Tampa to take
charge of the eitrua exchange.
Hirman Gardner, Eaton ton, Ga.,
who had been secretary and treasurer
since the corporation was established
a few weeks ago, was made vice pres
ident V. R. Judson, of Bartow, Fla.,
succeeded Gardner as secretary and
treasurer.
The Production Credit Corporation
is one of the four units of the Colum
bia regional Farm Credit Adminia
nation, the other units being, the
Federal Land Bank, the Intermediate
>edit Bank, and the Bank of Co
operatives.
Farmers living in the States of
North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor
gia and Florida were better off by
$705/00. during the last three days
is loans closed by the Federal Land
Bank amounted to this figure. Presi
dent Daniel of the Land Bank says
lhat with the double shift which is
now being employed, between 200 and
100 loans will be closed daily by the
Srst of November. Applications for
loans from the Federal Land Bank
and/or the Land Bank Commissioner
ire bein){ received at a rate of ap
proximately fifteen to eighteen hun
dred a week.
In responese to the request of
Governor Henry Jiorgenthau, Jr., of
the Farm Credit Administration in
Washington, many State Governors
ire now appointing Farm Debt Con
ciliation Committees.
These Committees will seek to bring
about voluntary compromises between
creditors and debtors in cases of ex
cessive indebtedness through local
county committees. The committees
are to be officially appointed by the
State Governor, but are to have no
legal force to compel acceptance of
any compromises of indebtedness.
Suggestions are being prepared for
the. guidance of both the State and the
local committees which-vwill need to
be adapted to the conditions within
the State.
Any debtor or creditor, may present
his case before a local committee,
when appointed, which shall seek to
effect a friendly settlement of the
best problem. It is expected that
plans will be agreed to in many in
stances where the indebtedness can
be satisfied through loans secured
through the Federal land bank and
/or the Land Bank Commissioner, or
both.
Already Governors of fifteen states
have indicated their intention of ap
pointing such committees.

WHEN Europe produces more
wheat for herself she buys less
from the United States. That is the
feature of the world wheat problem
that this chart shows. For Instance,
in 1921. wbcu many wheat ships
were busy carrying the bread grain
to Europe, that continent produced j
only * 1.200,000.000 bushels. Since !
;1927, European countries bave been j
producing more and more of their
own wheat and the wheat traffic
across the Atlantic has slowed up.
In fact, efforts of European coun
tries to supply their needs, and their
buying wheat from other countries
has Just about cut off our wheat ex
ports. as the lone boat for 1933 rep
resented In the ehsrt indicates. The
