AN
Plan Allotments
Of Tax Free Lint
Under Control Bill
Bankhead Measure
Has Sales Plan
Each Farm is N. C. May Get Ex
emption Certificates by Appli
cations Through .Agents.
COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
July 10.—Allotments of lint cotton
which may be sold tax free under
the provisions of the Bankhead Cot
ton Control Act will be made to
each farm In North Carolina on
which cotton is being produced up
on receipt of the application of the
producer, says Charles A. Sheffield,
In charge of the cotton adjustment
program for the State College Ex
tension Service.
This application by the producer
will be made on a blank known as
Form B. A. 8. The blanks will be
furnished through the county farm
agent to the cotton committees, and,
where the producer has already
signed an adjustment contract, in
formation for the blank will be
taken from the contract so that all |
the cooperating grower will have to I
do is to furnish certain additional
information about his crop this
year and then sign the blank in
triplicate. New growers and those
who did not sign a contract will
have complete forms filled out and
the figures claimed will be adjust
ed if necessary so that the average
finally determined may be on a
basis comparable with the adjusted
average acreage and production
data of contract signers.
Sheffield also states that when
all the applications are approved
in the county, the forms will be
sent to the State Board where the
allotments will be worked out. Then
tax exemption certificates will be
supplied to the growers. If crop
pers have a share in the cotton,
their share of the certificates will
be supplied to them individually
prorated on their share of the cot
ton. As cotton is ginned, the gin
ners will deduct the amount of
certificates covering the Unt gin
ned.
The making of allotments has
not been started but will get under
way as soon as the compliance work
is over. Mr. Sheffield said the
necessary blanks for making the
allotments have not yet been re
ceived in the State.

50 Trips To World

“All aboard for Chicago’s Cen

Plfty guests of The Cleveland
Star will hear that call this sum

have, by their own efforts, earned
the trip to the Exposition, and
whom The Star i6 rewarding for
their work with a visit to the big
city on Lake Michigan and a view
of all those things the world has
been doing, things they have read
about, perhaps, but which they
would not be able to see were it
not for The Star's help and coop

This is the biggest opportunity
the people of Shelby and Cleveland
county ever have had to see an ex
position such as is located along
Chicago’s wonderful lake front—
a site which by itself Is one of tlfe
world’s wonders.
Just Imagine!
Imagine hundreds upon hundreds
of acres of solid ground, made land,
dredged up from the lake bottom
itself and converted into a won
derland. Imagine the towering
structures, the millions of lights,
the architectural loveliness, the
landscaping.
And in addition there are the
thousands upon thousands of other
sights to be seen at the Century of
Progress Exposition that probably
never will be seen by those of the
present generation elsewhere. Only
at an exposition such as is now on
Chicago’s lake front can these
sights be viewed as a whole.
All Expense* Provided.
And Fifty men or women, boys or
girls, will see all this as guests of
The Star, without the expenditure
of a dollar of their own money, un

Former governor O. Max Oerd
ter. in hie second address before a
Shelby civic club thla week, last
tight urged Klwanla dub membera
ind business men everywhere to
tdapt themselves to the rapid
changes in our form of government,
ieclaring that 'There has been a
treater change In the past fifteen
month* than in any 100 yean of
American history.”
The former governor, in his tuus)
jolorful style, said "New conditions

Mr. Gardner waa introduced tor
Qarl Webb, chairman of tha In

the program. The former governor
spoke to the club as Tils home town

"Tha question on the tongues of
Americans today is 'Where will ha

Mr. Gardner defined the two
types of inflation, credit and mone

to monetary inflation.”

Tf credit Inflation doesn't work,
then there la tha question of mone

the world's history, has' never been
controlled. Xf human Ufa and

men would lose their selfishness and
freed, then It might ba controlled.
"English speaking nations have

Australia, Canada and other Eng
lish speaking countries has this
bloodshed and violence been avoid
ed."
Mr. Oerdner, in condudon, brief
ly discussed ttye criticism that is
arising against the administration
and Its policies. He recalled the
Biblical story concerning Moses’
leadership of the Israel race from
Egypt, stating that "The Israelites
during the first forty miles of thatr
Journey were probably shooting
praises to Moses, declaring him the
greatest leader and Hew Dealer. But
the farther away from Egypt they
got, the leea they liked him, and
when he finally left Hum tor a
short time and returned; ha found
them worshipping the golden ee*f.”
Market Agreements Dropped, Dsv*
ing Way Open for Costs to
Drop Under Competition.
Washington! July w. — Pros
pects of a material reduction to
the farmer In the oost of ginning
cotton was seen today by the farm
administration as it dropped for
mally a proposed tinners' market
ing agreement.
So long as the agreement has been
a live factor, It was explained,
ginning prices stiffened. Now.
however, administration officials
said, there was every reason to
brupve that the “wide open” com
petitive situation credited, would
suit in a big saving to the pro
ducer.
The projected marketing agree
ment, brought forward by the gln
ners, was discarded, the AAA said,
because the Industry declined to
accept It unless it carried rate-fix
ing provisions.
This Insistence ppon guaranteed
prices for ginning was manifested.
It was added, in a dosen hearings
throughout the cotton belt, com
pleted only recently.
Cully A. Cobb, chief of the ad
ministration's cotton section, an
nounced the death of the agree
ment
