To Sforo Yield
RALEIQH ? Reports from
throughout the state indicate farm
ers are rushing their cotton to mar
ket and selling it in many cases
for less than they could obtain
.through the government loan pro
[ gram, according to M. G. Mann,
; general manager of the N. C. Cot
ton Growers Asaociation, and na
tive of Newport.
This represents losses of hard
earned mpney that could amount
to miiyqns qf dollars before the
season is over, he said.
Storage Space Available
Reports also have been circulated
through cotton counties that no
more space is available for storing
this year's crop. Minn said those
reports are untrue, since ample
storage for thousands of bale* still
exists in licensed cotton warehous
es over the state.
"Farmers who sell their cotton
for only as much us or less than
they could obtain through the gov
ernment loan program are literally
throwing money away," the coop
erative official declared.
Mann urged all growers to place
their cotton in the government loan
and wait for advancing prices. Pres
ent indications are* that up to 50
per cent of the South's 1953 crop
may find its way into the loan, he
said.
"However, even if no* mora than

should tend to force prices substan
tially above their present levels by
next summer."
Agricultural officials now believe
that acreage controls are certain
for the 1954 cotton crop. Under
the existing law, no more than
17 Vi million acres could be plant
ed in the entire nation next year if
controls are invoked.
Judging from the grades and
staples of the approximately 25,
000 bales already Handled by the
Cotton Association this year, Mann
said, grades are brighter and stap
les longer than in previous years.

Fire Chief Says
'Check Stoves'
Fire Chief W. C. Dtige* of New
port reminded residents of western
part of the eounty to be sure to
check all heating appliances before
the heating season begins
Chief Dugee stated that the or
dinary pipe used with most floor
furnaces has a life of three to five I
years.
Because most of the piping is
installed underneath the house
many homeowners neglect to check
the pipe before firing up their
heaters. With a little wind, sparks
coming from a rusted out pipe
could easily start a fire underneath
a house, he said.
All other heating appliances
should be checked for proper func
tioning. Musty smells around gas
heaters are a sure indication of
leaks and the service man should
be called.
This month's pleasant weather
make repairs much easier now than
during the winter months, Chief
Dugee concluded.
