Farmers Of Middle
Georgia Holding
Cotton Off Market
Washington, Oct. 3—Informed
officials estimated last night that
aircraft production narrowly miss
ed totaling 8,000 warplanes in Sep
tember.
To reach that goal, aircraft pro
ducers would have had to deliver
388 more planes than they turned
out in August.
Nevertheless, the month's record
will show a good gain in the total
weight of aircraft products, one
official predicted, indicating satis
factory progress in the trend to
ward heavier types and also that
the substantial 4 per cent monthly
increase scored in the latest
monthly tally, the largest in sev
eral months, would be repeated, j
Estimates based on partial re- J
ports for the first three weeks of ,
September showed production was (
ahead of the August rate each
week.
Bomber production was well
ahead, but the most remarkable
gain was indicated in Navy fighter
output, which was reported as
about 300 per cent above the Au
gust total.

COLUMBUS JUDGE
LASHES VAGARANCY
MOULTRIE FIRES COST
CITIZENS FIFTEEN CENTS
•Moultrie, Ga., Oct. 4.—Fifteen
cents of each Moultrie citizen's
money have gone up in flames.
Fire Chief G. B. Hunt revealed
Monday fire losses during the past
fiscal year totaled $3,210—lowest in
the city's history. This makes the
percap ita loss approximately 15c
he said.
Half of the reported damage re
sulted from one residential fire.
Moultrie, Oct. 2—Nearly 17,000
bales of cotton are stored in Moul
trie warehouses, it was learned in
cotton circles Saturday. There is
room in the building to take care
of only a few hundred more bales.
One warehouse stopped weighing
more than a week ago because it
was full from wall to wall.
Frank Taylor, veteran Moultrie
cotton buyer and warehouseman,
says that from a grade standpoint
“it is the best cotton I have ever
handled.” He estimates that fully
75 per cent of the county's crop
grade middling, a figure never ap
proached during any other season.
Mr. Taylor says that farmers are
holding about 15 per cent of the
crop in anticipation of higher
prices. This group, he says, does
not need the money any way. The
majority of the farmers are bor
rowing government money on their
lint. In the way they are able to
darw down almost as much cash
asif they sold their cotton.
About 95 per cent of Colquitt's
crop which is estimated at about
15,400 bales has been picked but
not all of this yet been carried to
the gins. Through Thursday the
gins of the county had turned out
14,543 bales. This was nearly 3,000
more bales than had been ginned
by the same date last year.
About 6,000 bales of the cotton
now stored in Moultrie were car
ried over from last season, ware
housemen said. Most of this cotton
is owned by a Moultrie cotton mill,
which is now using cotton being
brought in from other points and
it will be sometime before the
mill begins using from its re
serve.
