In the light of these feed crop changes it is certain ly no accident that nogs and cattle Orizona j^Bv® increased by one-third. Sales of hogs and cattle now nm into mil- 85 per cent of the parity price. On the basis of a parity price of 16.49 cents a pound for August 1, the agriculture department annotmeed that the average loan rate on 7-8 inch middling cotton of the 1941 crop would be 14.02 cente, compared wittx 8.90 cents last year. (Parity is a level at which a farm er would have the same buying pow er in terms of other commodities that he had in the fi\^e years before the World war). Announcement of the loan rate to day lacked the significance of similar announcements in the past since cot in New Mexico and a rate ^t Gulf and Pacific ports of 14.85 cents. J. B. Huts^ president of the Com modity Credit oorporatkm, explained that location differentials would be based on frei^t rates to ports or the concentrated mill area of the Caro- linas, whichever would result in the higher loan rate.^ There will be exceptions, he said, in eastern Mississippi, eastern Ten nessee, Viiglnia, North Caredina, S^th Paipliny, Georgia. Florida and Alabarad where, because lodil mill deliveries' are a general practice, a sone system of location diflerantials will be in effect The loans, Hutson declared, would be made by the Commodity Ciwdit corjMration, principally through banks approved by the agency. The producers* notes will bear in terest at'the rate of 3 pm* o«it per year, will be callable on demand, and will mature July 31, 1942. The loans will be available unta May 1, 1942. BIGGER STAFF WELFARE DEPT. THIS COUNTY ■i. Says The Laurens Advertiser: Two employees have been added to the Laurens coun^ welfare de ton now is selling on the mcu^cet atrpartment staff and plans are beixig a level above the loan rate for the furst time since the program was in augurated in 1934. The loans, available at the full rate to farmers who adhere to acreage al lotment quotas, are designed to per mit growers to store their crop in stead of having to sell it on a low market. Growers exceeding their quotas may obtain loans on their ex cess production at 60 per cent of the full rate. With the market up as a result of various speculative factors, probably few growers will apply for the loans under present conditions. Meanwhile Secretary of the Treas ury Morgenthau advocated that the government dispose of some of the cotton it holds under previous loans at the present market levels. “If we don’t sell this cotton now at a time when the market will take I it, we are going to be awfully sorry \ some day,” he told a press confer ence. Morgenthau, who was governor of the'federal farm board in 1933, as sailed as “wicked” a measure recent ly passed by the senate which would prohibit the government from dis posing of its loan stocks of cotton and wheat for the duration of the European war. It was designed to support prices. The agriculture department said the loan rates would range from 10.67 cents a pound low middling tinged to 22.79 cents on long staple cotton. The average loan rate for 15-16 inch middling cotton, which is the basic description for all future and spot contracts would be 14.82 cents. The latter rate, however, wiU vary because of location, the department said, from a high of 15.29 cents in the Carolina mill area to 14.40 cen^s made for th;e employment of five more under a new tfiate department allocation which provides that, in addition to a director, this county is entitled to one case work superviror, seven visitors, and four clerical wmrkers, it was learned yesterday from Mrs. Mabel B. Little, director. Those already added were named as Mrs. Imily Taylor Bramlett, vis itor, and Miss Marjorie Minter, sten ographer. The new workers are being select ed by the county welfare board from a register comprising the names of applicants^ passing merit examina tions given in February and May, Mrs. Mttle said. ' I The increase in staff was ordered by federal officials of the merit sys tem s^o felt that more efficiency and more individual treatment of cases would be realized if the total case load were divided among a greater numbn of workers, Mrs. Lit tle said. She quoted a department recompaendation that eadi visitor handle not more than 175 active old age cases, 175 general relief cases, 140 aid to blind cases, or 70 depend ent children cases. At present, the director said, soci^ workers with the Laurens county department>are handling from 300 to 350 cases each. The present case load is 1157, she added. ' The staff increase is in line with similar increases being made in oth er counties of the state.
