labels refer to the class of serial
numoer assigned during service.
Many veterans, however, are
putting their dates of enlistments
in the first box and their grade
or rank in one of the other two.
VA said that such information is
not necessary for dividend pur¬
poses but that the serial number
is absolutely essential.
Some veterans even are failing
to sign their applications, VA said,
after a preliminary check of early
receipts. Unsigned applications
will not be ponsidered, VA said.

CAIRO. GRADY COUNTY. GA.. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 9,
Cottonseed Price
Support Program
Announced By PMA
This season for the first time
Georgia’s 20 million dollar cotton¬
seed crop will be included in the
government price support pro¬
gram, according to an announce¬
ment this week by T. R. Brood
love, executive officer of the Pro¬
duction and Marketing Adminis¬
tration. The price support is ex¬
pected to be around $50 per ton.
The cottonseed price support
program will be administered
through State PMA and County
ACA offices Loans will be made
on cottonseed represented by
warehouse receipts issued by ap¬
proved warehouses and on farm
stored seed in structures approv¬
ed by counity agricultural conser¬
vation committees. They will be
handled primarily under the cus¬
tomary loan procedure now in
effect for other farm commodi¬
ties.
At the same time of the an¬
nouncement that cotonseed
be supported State PMA officials
released the support price for
1949 crop cotton This year’s
support level is based on 90 per
cent of August 1 parity. Loan
rates in Georgia for Middling
15-il6 inch cotton will range from
30.07 cents per pound in the
northeastern section of the state
to 29.82 cents in the
southern portion of the state.
Premiums and discounts for the
various grades and staple length
combinations will be calculated
in relation to the loan rate on
Middling 15-16 inch cotton.
As was the case last year, loans
will be made on cotton stored in
approved warehouses and on
farm-stored cotton. Notes will
bear interest at the rate of three
per cent and will mature July 31,
1950. The last day on which
farmers will have to put their
1949 cotton under loan will be
April 30, 1950.

The Veterans
Corner
Here are authoritative answers
from the Veterans Administration
to four questions regularly asked
by former servicemen about their
rights and benefits:
Q. My husband, a World War
I veteran, died of a nonservice
connected ailment. Am I elegible
for a pension?
A. You may be entitled if you
were married to the veteran
prior to December 14, 1944; your
income does not exceed the limi¬
tation established by law and
your late husband’s service meets
the requirements of the law.
Q. What is the time limit for
filing claim for burial allowance?
A. Claim may be filed within
two years from the date of crema¬
tion or permanent burial of the
veteran.
Q. I have noticed the term
“statutory award” from time to
time but have no idea what iit
means. What is a “statutory
award”.
A. A statuary award is one
in which the amount of the
award is specifically provided by
the governing legislation.
Q. What will I have to do to
1 have the amount of my National
Service Life Insurance policy
! reduced?
1 A. You will have to submit to
1 VA a written request stating your
j desire over your own signature,
Q. My brother does not want
to stay in a Veterans Administra
tion hospital and says he will
leave. If he leaves the hospital
against medical advice, will such
actions affect his compensation?
A. No. However, the hospital
report covering the period he did
remain there may be reviewed
by a VA rating board to determine
whether his disability warrants
continuation of his award or a
change in the award.
Q. Is my compensation check
from VA subject to seizure by a
creditor who holds my note for
$ 1 , 000 ?
A. No. Compensation due you
