THE STATESVILLE RECORD, STATESVILLE, 0, ADVISES AGAINST SELLING COTTON AT PRESENT LEVEL Blalock Offers Reasons For Holding Staple for Higher Prices Raleigh, Sept. purchasing power of cotton today is no greater than it was a year ago, and the situation is an alarming one to me." So said U. Benton Blnlock, general manager of the North Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative Association before leaving early this for Washington in the interest of cotton producers. "The 'plow in he said, "went over in great shape anil cut our prospective 10,500,000 bale crop to an estimated one of 12,400,000 bales. This move unquestionably is largely for the rise of approximately 50 per cent in cotton prices as compared with last year.

"But we are still far away from the pre-war parity of prices promised us by the administration under the Agricultural Adjustment Act for the reason that the things which the farmer has 1o buy in many instances have increased in value one hundred per cent or more. "It seems that under the readjustment of prices under the National Recovery AcH, agriculture has not only been unable to keep step with other industries but has been forced to lag still further behind in the prices for all farm commodities." Answering hie own questions. "And what are we to do about it?" Mr Blalock eald: "The Adminitsratlon's plan for the control of production of cotton in 1084 and 1985 should be an- nunced as speedily as possible, and whatever is necessary in the way of a campaign for making the plan effective should bte launched at once with the producers so that the cotton consuming world would know now what to expect from next year's crop. "Second if the Administration still holds trump carda in the way of inflationary measures they sh'oulfe bfc played now and not after the cotton has passed out. of the producers hands.

Higher prices in January, March, or May will be of no avail If the producer has no cotton to sell. "Third, every effort possible should be put forth by every agency available to prevent a too-rapid movement into the markets of the 12,000,000 bales and more crop of this season. And most assuredly every effort should be made to prevent surplus cotton held by government agencies being dumped on the market for the next several months in competition with our 1933 crop." Pointing out that under NKA activities many lines of business are staging a comeback, Mir. Blalock said "it is not unreasonable to expect that the textile industry will again, enjoy a. season of prosperity, giving us greatly increased consumption of raw cotton." "It strikes me," he said, "that any program which will help to bring about the higher price levels due cotton producers should have the active support of all business interests in the South, and especlal- want a You know me as a Actually, I'm a man-of-all-work, and I want a job.

"We frtill have all confidence in the Administration that It will leave no atone unturned to help bring about these promised pro- war parity prices, and it is quite gratifying to note the announcement of Governor Morgen- thau, of the Farm Credit Administration, that Southern farm- dm who have borrowed monpy' from the Seed and -C'rop Production Lioan office of the Administration will not be compelled to sell their cotton to pay off their loans when they becomie due on October 31, 1933.

Growers by storing in approved warehouses, will be allowed to 7iiarket their cotton gradually over a period of several months instead of beint; forced to sell a large baleage during forced a comparatively feu- weeks. "The announcement is also mado that the growers will be allowed to sel'l their seed and to draw 50 cents per hundred on lint for picking and ginning expenses. "It will be recalled that wed loan borrowers were allowed to collateralize their loans last season at 1-2 cents per pound, and this plan has worked out very much to the advantage of the producers who stored their cotton, and with comparatively little loss to the government.

C. CAMP NEWS The President's announcement tha.t the Civilian Conservation Corps will be continued for another six months has been followed by much haste in preparing suitable quarters for the winter. The buildings when completed will include four barracks, accommodating fifty men each, a welfare building, officers quarters and a mess hall and kitchen combined. Capt. Ja L.

Mcllhenny, Commanding officer of Co. 414, has the supervision of the building of six of these permanent camps in addition to his regular duties. This Company is fortunate in having so versatile and capable a commander. A great many of the camps now located in the north and west will be moved to the south for the winter months. It is understood that a company from Ohio will be located very close to this camp.

This will give the boys excellent opportunity to refight old Civil War battles, but it is not expected that differences of opinion will be more violent than those of a verbal nature. During the few days leave granted last week a good many men were able to get jobs or return to school, and it is expected that a great many more will be able to find employment at the end of the present enlistment period which expires September 30th. These men will be replaced by someone not so fortunate. The men leaving should be well qualified to hold down any job they might secure, for in the C. C.

C. work they have attained excellent health and learned much of a practical well as as ethical nature. There are in camp a few who could hold their own with the illustrious Baron Munchausen. The following is in interesting, if not scientifically con-firmed, incident, citing the intelligence displayed by a Smoky Mountain rattle snake. It seems that a native Smoky Mountaineer once befriended a large rattle snake by freeing it from a huge limb which had fallen across its back.

The rattler feeling such gratitude for this act followed its benefactor home, and in a short time became a pet. One night the family was arroused by a terrible commotion, and upon investigating found that the snake had caught and was holding by the leg of a would-be thief, at the same time had its tail out the window rattling for the police.

New Reporter. Blooms at Hast The century plant in the N. Y. Botanical Gardens was due to blossom, which is once in every 100 years. Great disappointment was felt when the bloom failed to appear.

10 days later it burst into bloom, as shown above, and thousands of visitors went to see it. Thursday will be circus day. Downie Circus, the first big show of the season, will arrive early from Rock IIill, S. C. The street parade at noon will herald the starting of the day's activities which consist of a matinee at 2 and a night show at p.

m. on the Oakland and Front street lot. Under the personal management of Charles Sparks veteran circus- man, Downie Circus has been enlarged for the 1933 tour and the program to be presented today includes some of the outstanding stars of circusdom. Jack Hoxie, famous western screen star, with Miss Dixie Starr, leading lady of many of his western thrillers and a company of Hollywood players, will appear in person. Jack will arrive early and wil be greeted by hundreds of members of his now famous "Jack Hoxie Scouts," a boy and girl organization which has many new members here.

The coming of the celebrated screen star adds to the thrills of the circus, for it will mark the very first time that the hero of thousands of feet of western film has ever appeared here in person. Included in the company of ten will be Jack's famous horse "Scout" and his dog "Bunk," both of whom are famous in their own right. Hoxie's dog, "Bunk," having appeared in such memorial screen classics as "The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come" and many others. "Scout," aside from appearing in all of Hoxie's western's has been starred in several "Wild Horse" pictures and is really a veteran of the screen himself. Jack's supporting cast consists of many well-known Western screen characters.

Opening and closing spectacles of unusual splendor and merit have been added to the new program and are said to be the most gorgeously arrayed ever presented by the veteran Sparks, an improvement traditional of his steady advancement with the times during his half century as a circus manager.
