HELP FOR COTTON INDUS TRY IN AMENDED WARE HOUSE ACT. I .sincerely hope that each and all of our Cot lon Warehouses of Harrow County will take advan tage of this Warehouse Act and make an effort to have the Bureau of Markets inspect their ware houses and issue to Ihein federal Warehouse Licenses. The following are news items that I feel sure our farmers and other business men may he inter ested in. I have selected these news items from the Weekly News Letter, published by the I nited States Department of Agricul ture. Washington. I receive this news lei ter each week. I hope that each warehouse, hank, all farmers, and other busi ness men of our eounty will co operate together and help place the business of cotton warehous ing on a stable basis and then with our receipts negotiable at any hank we can market our cotton when the price is a good one. Yours very 1 ruly, W. MILL Host'll. County Agricultural Agent. Help Cor < 'ottnn Industry In Amended Warehouse Act, Re ceipts Negotiable at Banks Pro vided for < •'row crs. Changes in Ke iptirements for Federal License Assist Producers, Hankers, and Trade How Warehouses May Qualify. To place the business of cotton warehousing on a stable basis and provide receipls for cotton that are negotiable at any hank has long been an aim of persons inter ested in cotton, and under the amended United States cotton warehouse act this is likely to he realized. That is the opinion of men in the Hnreau of Markets, United States Department of Ag riculture, who are charged with issuing Federal warehouse licens es. The warehouse act has just been amended so as to permit the ac ceptance of personal bonds from warehousemen and to permit the issuance of negotiable receipts, when requested by the depositors of cotton in the warehouse, with out stating the grade of the cot ton. The grade must he stated, however, unless the request to omit it is made. Creates Negotiable Receipt. The purpose of the warehouse act is to create a warehouse re ceipt of unquestioned value and one which will he acceptable to all bankers as security for obtain ing loans, regardless of tin* loca tion of the warehouse. In this way warehousemen will furnish a re ceipt to their customers which will be of the utmost value to them as negotiable paper, and enable them to borrow close to the actual value ol their stored goods at cheaper interest rates. Thus they may mar ket their cotton slowly and in conformity with the needs of the manufacturers. The full descrip tion of the cotton stored requested to be stated on the face of the re ceipt will enable the owner to know the value of his cotton and enable him to market it intelli gently. The proper development % of the warehouse will make possi- J-lie practice of marketing the cotton .through the warehouse, and thus avoid the enormous loss- ♦.‘if resulting from weather damage. J Warehousemen desiring to take advantage ol‘ the opportunity ex tended should apply to the Bu reau of Markets, at Washington. I>. l\, for the application forms. Upon receipt of the blanks they should be filled out und sent to the Bureau of Markets at Wash ington along with the nominal in spection fee required. This fee is based on the capicity of the ware house at the rate of SI.OO for each 1,000 bales of its capacity; thus, a 5,000 bale warehouse will pay an inspection fee of $5.00: a 6,000- bale warehouse, $6.00 etc. If the warehouse has a -apaeity of less than 5.000 bales, the fee will be $5 .00. The maximum inspection fee is SSO. This inspection fee, a license fee of $2.00 and the cost uf his l>ond is the total expense of the warehouseman. It tor any rea scii the license is not issued or the ispeclion is not made, any unas sessed fees will he returned to the applicant STORE COTTON—STOP GREAT LOSS. t'ntt'ui raisers are losing annu ally an average of $10,000,000 from weal her damage to bales left in the open. That estimate is regarded an conservative, for ev ery hale exposed to weather soon loses ennu.di “pickings” 1o pre sent at least $2.50 and instances of much greater loss to individual halts are not infrequent. An in stance that is nol a great distance from typical concerns a hale that w s exposed to the weather for six months, losing 70 pounds at 2'! cenls. or $17.48. The United States Department of Agriculture through its Hereau of Markets, is urging southern farmers to store their cotton and stop this waste. It calls attention to the ware houses licensed and bonded under the States warehouse act, says that they furnished best receipts good for cash at any bank— cheaper insurance, and better ser vice. The department does not confine its recommendations 1o bonded warehouses. More general use of private warehouses will do much I<> stop the big loss. Cotton Still One-Animal Crop In Many States of the South. Plow and cultivator are still pulling by one horse or mule on nearly all cotton farms in the States of the Atlantic ('oast and in Alabama and Louisiana, the cotton specialist of the bureau of Crop Kstimates, l uitcd States De partment of Agriculture, lias re cently determined. One-animal plowing and cultivating prevails on 72 per cent of the cotton farms of Mississippi, l>4 per cent in Ark ansas, 4(> per cent in Tennessee, 14 per cent in Texas, 10 per cent in Oklahoma, and (i per cent in .Mis souri, while in California all plows ami cultivators are drawn by more than one animal. The in vestigation did not discover the extent to which tractors are used. Riding plows and cultivators are used on 18 per cent of the cot ton farms in Arkansas, 27 per cent in Tennessee, 08 per cent in -Missouri, 70 per cent in Oklahoma 70 per cent in Texas and on all cotton farms in California, but on only small fractions of the cotton farms in other States. “We should bo using more rid ing plows, cultivators, and other TORNADO INSURANCE Your neighbor's home burned only a few days or months ago, and a cyclone is likely to strike this section at any time, so INSUBE with L's anl lie down at night with a clear conscience and a peaceful mind.
