V. Floyd. AAA executive officer 8 at e>iate College. "Rather,'t? .Floyd reports, ''the in-i t creased SPItKA,I> ot prottt. to the j ) cotton manufacturer has been tag- i ged as responsible fov tlie rapid la- j t crease in tjte price of cotton prod- I ucts. '-'While the farm price of cotton l was moving up thr6e cents a pound \ between June, 1940. and June, 1941 l tniil murglns for cotton manufacture: i were moving up 11 cents a pound. ! ] Lust May, when a consumer bought 1 an ordinary dollur cotton shirt, he paid less than nine cents to the ' t farmer, who spent tv whole year in ' producing the cottou that went to"] make the shirt?-aaen less than the laundry price tor washing the gar- \ i ment' once." j < This year, for the first time in the ' I history of 'trie nation's' oldest "mon[ ey Crop.' the farmer has a govern incut guaranteed price for cotton I under the AAj\ oan program. The < guarauteeiT^ prlCTT to the farme-r. . 1 with loans, at 85 percent ot the parity price, is 13.43 cents a pound i for 1941 cotton. Floyd says. The same labor employed id cotIon manufacturing plants produced 110.7 percent more cotton goods In March of this year than for the average month in -1940. Floyd adds, j I "tin the basis, of the consumer i cost of the finished cotton article in March of this year. the farm ! price of. the lint used would have 1 j been 19 cents a pound, whereas. It tvas actually several cents a pound ! lower. '"So, It Is easy to see. the AAA leader concludes. "thai the farm price of cotton is not pushing up < the retail cost. Better Chicks Miean Mtore Eggs In Basket i Here's a tip from <\ J. Maupin. I extension poultrvmuu of N. C. State | College, to the poultry grower iu| terested In increasing his egg production: Buy only certified chicks sired by pedigreed cockerels. * The grower following this advice would boost his average flock pro-: i ductlon by 35 or moi'e eggs per hen annually. Then,- too. the general use of such chicks iu maintaining the laying flock, together with good j feeding, care, and managcmeut, would provide several billion additional eggR~'? year for-national defense needs.' T" qualify for ,U. S. Record of Per formance rating under the National Poultry Improvement Plan, cockerels must be from hells laying more than 200 eggs a year. The VPIP i4i (Minnt 1'iilivp In Im prove poultry flocks. Because the sire anil dam are e(liially responsible for the level of production In the offspring, Muupin predicts UCJP cockerels, or males of equally good pedigree, usfd in the average poultry flock, would raise ' the State's average annual produc- , tion of 85 eggs per hen to llo or more. This increase, the specialist explained. is midway between average farm flock production and the 'production" of pullet flocks from which hens are selected to produce HOI' cockerels. ' ? One way to tnake certain that chicks purchased dTe sired by N. C. ROP males is to get them from Cer tlfied or Verified hatcheries.
