WALLACE, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1935 Cotton Growers Warned To Keep Sales Record Information Will Be Necessary When Producer. Makes Ap plication for Payment. PRICE ADJUSTMENT PLAN CALLS FOR 12c RETURNS Payments Are Not to Exceed Two Cents; Use Spot Mar kets as Meters All cotton growers are being warned by the County Agent to keep a record of their cotton sales. The objective of the price adjustment payment plan of the AAA is to assure produc ers, insofar as possible, a re turn of 12c per pound, basis 7-8 inch middling, for their 1935 cotton crop sold prior to Aug ust 1, 1936. The adjustment payment per pound to each producer will be the amount per pound by which the official average base price on the ten designated spot cot ton markets is below 12c per pound on the date of sale, but in no case shall the adjustment payment exceed 2c per pound, it was announced. In case the cotton is not sold by July 31, 1936, but is on that date under the 10c loan, a similar adjust ment payment will be made in the amount per pound by which the official average base price on the ten designated spot cot ton markets is below 12c per pound on July 31, 1936, but in no case shall the payment per pound exceed 2c. Payments will be made throughout the cotton year, based oh the amount of sold up to and' includes Ju ly 81, 1931, which is not in ex cess of the producer’s 1935 Bankhead Allotment, to each producer who is participating in the 1936 cotton acreage ad justment program, and who agrees to participate in the 1936 adjustment program. Producers who before Aug ust 1, 1936, sell cotton from their 1935 crop, but who do not have a cotton acreage adjust ment contract for 1935 or who have not complied in 1935, may make application for cotton pr^ce adjustment payments, based on the amount of their cotton so sold which is not in excess of their 1935 Bankhead Allotment. But such a pay ment cannot be made until he has made and complied with a 1936 cotton contracr. All ap plications must be made prior to August 15, 1936. All producers should secure a sales certificate from the buyer of - his cotton and bring two copies to the County Ag ent’s office when he wishes to make bis application, ■says Mr. McLendon.

Gray, Reg ional Director of Resettlement Land Utilization Division. The purchase area, for which an allocation of $124,000 has | been made, is designated as the Jones, Salter and Singletary [Lakes project. Within the area a number of state-owned lakes making it admirably suited for recreational development. The project is viewed by Resettle ment authorities as a demon stration of the proper utiliza tion of this land. Options on approved acre agge are now being accepted, Mr. Gray said. Owners of the land purchased will be paid by the Government' when titles have been approved by the of fice of tiie Attorney General of the United States. All land be ing acquired by the govern ment has been offered for sale voluntarily by the owners. Thej Jones, Salter and Singletary Lakes Land area was selected a demonstration project be-| •**<f ■ cause of the low agricultural fertility of the fanning lands there and the adaptability of the lakes and woodlands to re creational uses. On other pro jects of a similar nature now being developed by the federal government, the improvements include telephone lines, roads, trails, lookout houses, fire tow ers, fences, bath houses, camp grounds, reservoirs and vaca tion cabins. Preliminary develop ment plans call for improvement of a number of lakes aird the sur rounding areas as recreational centers, the reforestation and restocking of the timber of the area in the varieties of timber peculiar to that section. Those farmers living on the poor land in the Jones, Salter land Singletary Lakefc project area who request aid will be assisted by the Resettlement Administration in locating on better nearby farms. Under the tentative develop ment plans, the project will be come self-liquidating through the sale of hunting and fishing permits and the production and sale of timber and forest pro ducts such as pulp mill stock, telephone poles, veneering **, shingles and naval stores, ray said. ■ TOUGH ON FOXES Mrs. E.

County Committee Sets Date for Bringing Campaign to a Close. The Tobacco Control Com mittee of Duplin County has set November 1st as the clos ing date for signing tobacco contracts to be in force during the years 1936-39 inclusive, it was announced at Kenansville this week. All tobacco grow ers who have not signed their contracts have been notified that this closing date has been set. That notice will be the final one for sfgnirig+contracts. #There can be no adjustments or changes made in contracts until all of those growers who will sign have signed, it was stated by the county agent who also stated that there is no rea son for delay in completing the sign-up, whether or not an ad justment has been asked for. There are only a few con tracts in the county that have not been signed, but this num ber is large enough to hold up the completion of the campaign it was said. According to figures released this week more than 85 percent of those eligible to sign con tracts have already executed them. While the acreage runs a little above this figure.

Preliminary Census dicates More Than Acre Increase in REDUCTION IN TOBACCO, COTTON IS RESPONSIBLE Tobacco and Cotton Acreage wj off 200,000 and 670,000 Acres Respectively More than a million-acre in crease in North Carolina feed crops over that of five year* ^ ago is shown by the prelimin- ^ ary summary of the 1936 Farm 5 Census just released by the Di- | rector of the Bureau of the J Census, Department of Com* merce. This gain covered prac-J tically all the feed crops | and most of the crops plant- | ed for human consumption, and | was chiefly the result of a re- j duction of about 670,000 acres ,3 in cotton and 200,000 acres in | tobacco. Approximately 900,000 acres-'j of this increase is represented | by corn and hay, and about | equally divided between. the two. Nearly half a million | acres of wheat were harvested | in 1934 compared with abont « 350,000 acres reported for 1929. Irish potatoes increased 62 percent, or about 32,000 acres,, and sweet potatoes 68 percent* or roughly 35,000 acres in the -s five-year period!

There are 295,388 mules and mule colts while there are on- J ly 66,716 horses and colts. To utilize the increased supply of corn, hay and oats, there are 217,254 or 46.5 percent more cattle in 1935 than in 1(530, of which 124,753 were cows, and about 108,000 more hogs. The census reports 684,266 cattle, 947,143 hogs and pigs and 77, 044 sheep and lambs in this state at the present time. In other principal points the report indicates North Caroli na followed the trend of the rest of the country with an in crease of 7.6 percent, or 21, 250 farms, an increase in the land in farms of about 10 per cent, but displayed a decrease in the gross value of 26 per cent.
