WAREHOUSE IDEA VERY BENEFICIAL IColton Boyers Say Cotton Fanners Loses Money By Not Using Warehouse Storage. ' "The cotton farmer in Cleve land county loom money and a feeling of surety by not patron izing a bonded cotton storage warehouse." in the opinion of one of the leading cotton buy ers on the local market. This buyer in a boost for the Mer fchant and Planters warehouse of Shelby, which is operated under the North Carolina warehouse system, says Cleveland county’s income from the cotton crop would be consider ably increased if every bale erf coun ty cotton was stored in a modern warehouse. At the Merchants & Planters Warehouse J. O. Propst, the manager states that a wrong impression pre vailing among some farmers keep many of them from storing cotton in the bonded warehouse and there by causes many to lose money. The erroneous impression is that when some mill or buyer purchases a re ceipt for a bale of cotton in the warehouse he goes to the warehouse \ and picks out the bale he wants or takes the first one he gats his hand upon. This idea is entirely wrong. A ] system of checking with receipts makes it entirely impossible for a buyer to get other t£an the bale he | buys. When a bale of cotton is left at i the warehouse by a farmer it is weighed, sampled and tagged. A receipt corresponding to the tag on the bale is given the farmer and tne receipt is signed and counter signed by J. O. Props!, warehouse manager, and the state warehouse representative. When the bale of cotton is sold the receipt must be presented and the tag and receipt comparing the bale can be secured. At least four times each year an inspector of the state system checks the warehouse and records seeing that every bale as tagged can be accounted for. There is, no possibil ity of bales getting switched, or some mill securing cotton that be longs to a farmer and is not sold. Safe Every Way There are nine compartments in the big warehouse, which has a total capacity of 7,000 bales. With double water protection in case of fire—one from the city hydrant and the other from tfCe Shelby Cotton Mills—the fire risk is low. In addi tion to this a modern sprinkler alarm system is complete through out the warehouse. ' . However, this immediate protec tion is of lesser interest to the farmer considering that when he stores his cotton there it ia. protect ed by the insurance of the bonded Warehouse. Saves Man; Ways The saving of a warehouse la evident along several lines. In addi tion to the protection offered agntnat weather and Are there is consider able saving in the handling, quicker sale .and a better price. A cotton buyer who purchases cot ton from a gin lot, or from poor storage is always dubious about the price he pays, because he cannot tell from outside appearances just I row much the bale has been damaged by rain and'mud. When the cotton is in a warehouse the buyer usually takes the sample at its face value and pays . the prevailing price. Quicker sale of cotton is plain be cause when a buyer is seeking cot ton it is only natural that he will seek the easy plan, visit the ware house and make his purchase in 30 minutes instead of a long trip to the country. When the purchase is made the buyer takes the cotton at the warehouse, or loads it in cars there and the sale is complete. The cost at cotton storage is real ly inconsequential. The local ware house a member of a chain operated by the state and national system I operates at the system rate and not at a profit-making price for local men who made such beneficial stor age possible. One cent a day per bale Is the rate. An insurance rate oook shows that a farmer can store his cctton there and protect against the weather as well as fire for just 20 cents more per year than he can in sure it against fire alone at his home. Furthermore, the farmer who stores his cctton at home can not be sure of insurance unless it is divided in ten bale lots and remov ed a certum distance from buildings in which there is a fire. From the standpoint of commun ity benefit the bonded warehouse as sures more buyers on the local mar ket. Many buyers who now work on ijihe Shelby market would not do so were it necessary for them to main tain their own warehouse. Under the present plan a buyer who makes a purchase that is not for immediate delivery leaves the potton in the ware!icuse and keeps his receipt un til he wishes it delivered. In tiie course of a year many bal^s of cotton are burned in Cleveland county, while the warehouse plan for $3,70 will protect a bale for a year. This does not consider the hundreds of dollars lost by weather damage of Cleveland county cotton. Many farmers leave their cotton [to weather damage at home, and possible destruction by fire, beqpuse they intend to sell their cotton with in a short time. At the warehouse it is pointed out that storage for [only a few days is beneficial, as or J dinarily a trip to town will be made anyway and with the cotton here it | stands a better chance of being I looked over and bid upon by mar ket buyers. Farmers in town on shopping ex peditions are on other business are urged to drop by the werehouse long enough to see for themselves that the warehouse idea is in the main for their benefit. Too much economy is planned for the future; the only way to save money is to do it today. want a EGGS this winter V i You can get them—at a lower cost than ever be* ! fore—if you will put your hens on Ful-O-Pep Egg Mash Now-This Week!
