Information On
1941 Cotton Loan
Cass county cotton farmers who
are cooperating with the AAA pro
gram can obtain 85 per cent of
parity government loaas on their
1941 pi-x uction, O. E. McGOvray,
chairr-an of the county AAA com
m'ttee points out
AX:c«igh the loan rates for Cass
county have not yet been announc-
ed, the AAA official that the basic
loan rate for the nation would be
14.02 cents per pound for 7-8 inch
middling cotton, gross weight, bas
ed upon the parity price of 16.49
cents per pound as of August 1.
That rate compares with the 8.90
cent rate available in 1940. The
average loan rate for 15-16 inch
middling cotton, net weight, was
14.S2 cents per pound on August 1,
the beginning of the marketing
year.
The full loan rate is available
to producer planting within es-
tablished cotton acreage allotments
for the 1941-42 marketing year,
and producers who knowingly ex-
ceed their allotments will be eli-
gible for loans at 60 per cent of
the rate available to cooperators
on that part of the cotton subject
to penalty, McGilvray continued.
Differentials for grade, staple
and location in the new program
will be calculated in relation to the
loan rate of 15-16 inch middling
cotton which is the basic descrip-
tion of all future and spot con-
tracts. The rate for middling
15-16 inch cotton will be 20 points,
or .2 cents per pound, above the
basic rate of 7-8 inch middling
cotton.
. As in 1940, the loan rate will be
based on net weight of cotton and
will be 60 points above that for
gross weights to compensate for
the lesser pounds on which the loan
is extended. All grades and staple
lengths of cotton approved by the
USDA Board of Examiners are
included in the schedule of loan
rates, he said. A classification fee
of 15 cents per bale will be made.
Loans will Ije made directly by
the Commodity Credit Corporation
through approved lending agencies.
The execution of loan papers will
be under the supervision of local
county AAA committees with such
agencies as banks, warehouses and
county AAA offices being desig-
nated by AAA Committees to as-
sist producers in preparing and j
executing loan papers. ,
The notes, which will mature!
July 31, 1942, bear interest at 3 1
per cent per annum, and are call-!
able on demand, McGilvray said. !
Loans will be available until May !
1, 1942, and will be made only on 1
cotton represented by warehouse j
receipts issued by warehouses ap- \
proved by the Commodity Credit I
Corporation.

Enjoy Lemon Party
Tuesday evening, the members
of the Presbyterian church and a
few invited guests, assembled at
Beaver's pond for an evening of
fellowship and amusement in the
form of a Lemon party.
As one of the features for the

brought by the members was very
amusing, as each member was ask-
ed to pay one-cent for each seed
the lemon contained.
After the lemons were cut de-
licious refreshments of ice-cold
lemonade, sandwiches and cakes
! were served.
Varied interesting games and con
! tests furnished further entertain-
ment for evening, which was en-
joyed by each one present.
