Growers Buy Out First Allotment Of Cotton Tickets Take Certificates For 200,000 Pounds In Four Days; Propst Requests More Tax Exemptions. Cleveland county's entire current allotment of cotton surplus certifi cates, which allow approximately a cent and a quarter saving in tax, were snapped up during the first four days they were offered for sale, J. Alvin Propst, Bankhead admin istrator, said this morning. The allotment was for 200,000 pounds, although Mr. Propst has certificates on hand amounting to 1.650.000 pounds.

RALEIGH, Oct. 23—Cotton allot ments for 1935, under the adjust ment contracts, will be 25 per cent larger than they were this year. This year a grower who had a base of ten acres was allotted six acres to plant. Next year he prob ably will be allotted seven and a half acres, according to Dean I. O. Schaub, of State college. The increase in allotments to be allowed is due largely to the fact that the cotton program has re moved most of the surplus cotton that was responsible for the low prices of 1932 and growers can now start producing as much cotton as Is consumed each year, the dean explained. The exact size of the allotments will not be announced, Schaub add ed, until the AA\ cotton section finishes its study of the cotton sit uation, including both domestic and foreign markets. . Growers who have already signed contracts will keep the contracts they have, while non-signers will be given another chance to join the program and participate In the rental and benefit payments. Schaub pointed out that the refer endum to be conducted on the Bankhead act will in no way effect the AAA adjustment program, since the contracts were feigned for a two year period, with the provision that the secretary of agriculture could terminate them at the end of one year If necessary. When the referendum is conduct ed, the growers will have a chance to make known their wishes In re gard to whether those who have signed contracts wish to be protect ed by the Bankhead act from grow ers who do not sign, he observed. Unless the act is continued, he said, non-signers will be able to in crease their production as much as they wish and offset much of the work done by the signers In elimi nating the surplus and bringing prices back to a fairer level. , Mooresboro Gets Simmons As Head Well Known Coach To Succeed; Huggins In Principalship At t Mooresboro.
