Cotton Support Set
At 31.58 Cents
The average loan rale for 1954
upland cotton, basis middling 7, 8
inch, will be 31.58 cents per
pound, gross weight, according
to F. R. Keith, chairman of the
state ASC committee.
Price support on 1954-crop up
land cotton is mandatory at the
nigner of the minimum prices
previously announced, or 90 per
cent of their parity prices as of
August 1. The minimum price
previously announced for upland
cotton was 31.25 cents per pound,
basis middling 78 inch.
The average rate for middling
1516 inch cotton, the base qual
ity, will be 1.65 cents per pound
above the average rate for mid
dling 78 inch cotton, or 33.23
cents per pound, gross weight.
The chairman said that premiums
and discounts for the various
other grade and staple length
combinations of upland cotton
under the 1954 loan program will
be calculated in relation to the
price support rate for middling
1516 inch cotton.
Loan rates for upland cotton
will also vary according to lo
cation. The rate for middling
1516 inch cotton, gross weight,
will vary f.om a hiyh of 34.26
cents per pound in the concen
trated mill area of the Carolinas
to a low of 32.48 cents per pound
in California and Arizona.
Mill areas in North Carolina
that will carry the 34.26 cent rate
will include all counties west of
Granville, Wake, Harnett, Hoke,
and Scotland. Other North Caro
lina counties (all counties east of
Person, Durham, Chatham, Lee,
Moore, and Richmond) will car
ry a loan rate of 34.16 cents per
pound basis middling 1516 inch
cotton, gross weight.

125 Hoke People
Get Social Security
Benefits Monthly
Newly available data released
today by the Fayetteville social
security office show that at the
beginning of 1954 nearly 125 per
sons in Hoke County were re
ceiving $3,800 each month as
beneficiaries of the Federal old
age and survivors insurance pro
gram. Malcolm A. George, manager
of the Fayetteville social security
office, said that year-end sum
maries for 1953 reveal a substan
tial increase during the year in
the amounts of social security
benefits paid to residents of Hoke
County. "This is not only due to
increases provided late in 1952,
by changes in the law, but also
because moie people were re
ceiving payments than in any
other year,'- George said. "I
estimate that about $50,000 will
be paid to Ho!;e County benefi
ciaries during 1954," he added.
Half the monthly benefits in
the county were paid to retired
workers and their families, the
rest going to survivors of work
ers who died insured under the
social security program. Over 40
Hoke County children were re
ceiving an average monthly pay
ment of $26 at the beginning of
1954.
Benefits under the Federal old-
age and survivors insurance pro
gram include monthly payments
to retired workers and their fam
ilies, and to survivors of deceas
ed workers.
Mr. George said that an in
quiry should be made at the lo
cal social security office as soon
as possible after an individual
retires after age 65, or dies, if
he or she Tad worked in em
ployment or self - employment
covered by the social security
law.

Farmers Buy 75
Irrigation Systems
' From none to 75 in a single
year," is the way C. T. Dean, Jr.,
Franklin County farm agent, tells
the s'ory ot the growth of irri
gation in his county.
A year ago there were no irri
gation systems in Franklin Coun
ty. Now theie are 75.

Douglas Seymore of Zebulon,
Route 2, was the first farmer in
Franklin to buy an irrigation
system. He purchased his outfit
on July 25, 1953. He watered his
tobacco thrte times, says Dean,
putting on a little more than an
inch each time. "Even at this late
date the six acres of tobacco on
the Seymore farm sold for $735
per acre, or $300 more per acre
than average tobacco in the same
community," explains Dean. Such
results did not go unnoticed.
The 75 systems in operation
now are scattered throughout the
county with the largest number
concentrated in Dunn, Harris and
Youngsville Townships.
Tobacco is the chief crop being
irrigated this summer, said Dean,
but several farmers are experi
menting with other crops. N. H.
Griffin of Louisburg, Route 2,
has tried irrigation on some of his
corn and pastures. "As yet it is
difficult to accurately measure

Getting Along With
Others Is A Skill
That You Learn
"Everyone needs friends," says
Corinne Justice Grlmsley, State
College extension family relations
specialist. There is a kind of un
derstanding that exists among
friends that is different from the
understanding you'll get from
parents or teachers.
If you're begtnning to wonder
just what sort of person you real
ly are, check these questions:
V.'hen you don't win in games,
del ates, or other competitions
do you c.uigralulate your oppon
ents? Do you often offer to help
with the dirty work? Can you
take criticism without
late to work on your personality.
Getting along with other people
Is an acquired skill; you must
practice it every day.
