The trend of prices so far in World
War II has closely followed the pat
tern of World War I, John T. Thorns
of Farmville, president of the North
Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative
Association, said here today upon, his
return from the September board
meeting at which arrangements were
completed for placing the facilities
of the co-operative at the disposal of
farmers who want to hold their cot
ton for higher prices. ?
"The big jump m prices in the last
war," Mr. Thome said, "did not come
until after the wtir was well under
way. Hostilities broke out on July
28,1914 but we find that even in late
1915 the price of cotton was only
about 11 cents. From 1915. until the
Armistice in 1918, however, the price
increased by 250 per cent to reach 29
cento a pound. It "kept right on go
ing up to a high of 40 cento by
m- "
. Cotton and other farm products,
however, ware net the only things
to advance in price, Mr. Thome point
ed oak "A pair of shoes," he idt
"tkt cost 52^0 in 1915 cost $4.00 by
1918. Overalls Oust cost 75 cento in
1915 cost $1.57 in 1918. A cultivator
which cost $5-00 is 1915 cost $10.00
in 1918. Nitrate of soda that eost
$48.00 in 1915 cost $94.00 in 1918."
Mr. Theme called upon fanners to
consider the position they wiB find
themselves in if they sell their cottor
on today's market and then have tc
buy seed, fertiliser and other fanr
supplies that go into the producboi

found, is the fact that many of the
landlords do not live on the farm

Dr. Hamilton said this makes fre
quent contact with the tenant diffi
cult or impossible. It is well known;
the sociologist continued, that fre
qnent contact between the tenant ind
landlord is necessary if thefarfr is
to be organised and operated effi
ciently.
Another cause of poor relation
ships is the general abeerfce of defi
nite rental arrangements. In a large
majority of cases, the arrangement
are oral rather than written, which
gives ample opportunity for mis
understanding. between the landlord
and "the tenant. ^
The present rental arrangements
do not include any definite provision
with respect to the details of organi
sation and operation of Hie ftaut
On the contrary, Dr. Hamilton
pointed out, they merely stipulate in
general the types of crops which shall
be grown and the division of the re
ceipts that will be made. Wi re
spect to minor details, the arrange
ments are particularly defective.
Nor do the rental arrangements
provide for the production of crops
and livestock products for borne and
farm use. This defect is of major
significance, especially in low income
areas such as Caswell County.
