Cotton Farmers To
Receive Co-op Checks
A Million and a Quarter in Advance*
On C'utton Will Be Distributed
This Week.
Raleigh, Dec. 21.—Cotton growing
farmers who have delivered their cot
ton to the North Carolina Cotton
Growers Association will receive ap
proximately $1,125,000 in the form of
Christmas distribution checks during
the first days on next week, in time
for the Holiday shopping.
The office force of the Association
at. Raleigh is busy making out these
checks, nnd there are about 20,000 of
them. They represent the first distri
bution. following the custom of the !
management of the Assoc:ation, and
together with the initial advance i
made on delivery, the farmers will !
have received when these checks arc j
delivered a total advance of 15 cents
Basis Middling. Because of the fact
that the cotton delivered to the Asso
ciation this year is running about
fifty points above Middling, the aver
age distribution price will be about
15.50c.
General Manager Blalock states i
that the checks went in the mails I
Saturday of last week, and wil! reach
all members not later than Dec. 22nd. I
The distribution covers all cotton de- ;
livered to the Association prior to
Dec. 1st. Up to that time approxi
mately 125,000 bales had been receiv
ed. About 25,000 additional bales have
been received since December 1st and
this cotton will be included in the
next distribution when it will be even
ed up with cotton received nievious
ly. Mr. Blalock confidently expects at
least 10,000 more bales.
Tlie deliveries to the Association
are already far above the receipts of
any previous yenf, and tiie indication
are that the confidence in coopemtive
marketing of cotton is steadily grow
ing.
To Much Impersonation
“I say, Bob,” asked an acquaint
ance “why did the foreman smack you
yesterday ?”
“Well, you know,” was the reply,
“a foreman is one who stands around
and watches his gang work.”
“I know; but what’s that got to do
with it?”
“Why, he got jealous of me! People
thought I was the foreman.”
Under A New Label
Mother—“F’r heaven sakes, m-dear
—why does mat young man, Joe
Brown wear such a wide belt?”
Daughter—“I don’t know, inothe"
—but I think for the same reason
that President Roosevelt wore red,
white and blue suspenders.’”
P. S. “To keep his pants up."—
