Waahingrton, Aug. Ifi.—As an aid
to marketing their crop in an orderly
'way. Southern farmers who received
1932 production loans from the agri
culture department today were offer
ed the privilege of storing cotton or
placing it in e'wperative pools.
AH cotton itored or placed in an
optional pool, must, however, be sold
by March 1, l!i33, and sea.sonal pool
off I hr
to pay
loans which become due on November
30. By taking advantage f)f these
plans, farmers can hold their . rop for
any possible rhse in prices, and at the
same time prevent a glut on the niai’-
er<;ig:nty of the West Indian islands
j which they oym. Perhaps the immedi-
i ate benefit to us of the ownershin of
Bermuda, the 'Bahamas, Jamaica,
Martinique, Barbadoes and the other
islands of the West Indies may not
be apparent, but at least such an of-
’ fer from tho.se nations would be an
evidence of good faith. There is an
j idea that it would be accepted.
