Vernon To Start August 6th McCormick county farmers will be interested to learn that a modi fication of the option contracts on government cotton which are to be issued to producers as part of the consideration in the acreage ad justment campaign extends the term of the option from May 1, 1934, to May 1, 1935.. It is also pro vided that producers who have not called their options by May 1, 1934, will pay a carrying charge of 40 cents per bale per month. Under the original terms of the option contracts, producers had the right to call their options at any time but were required to call by May 1, 1934. This modification ex tends the time for calling the op tions. Around 2,000,000 bales of cot ton are to be optioned to some half million producers a 6 cents per pound under the acreage ad justment program. Oscar Johnson in announcing these modifications made the fol lowing statement: “As in the cot ton reduction campaign, the ad ministration is placing the handl ing cf the options directly up to the producers themselves. The sec retary cf agriculture, under the terms of the contract as now re vised, has made it possible for pro ducers to withhold this cotton from the market for a longer per iod. This extension of time should enhance the orderly marketing of the option cotton and minimize the possibility of placing a large portion cf the cotton on the mar ket fct a time when it would com pete with the crop to be harvested this fall. The producer may cal his eptien at any time before De cember 1, 1933, that the price is not below 9 1-2 cents. This modi fication of the original plan gives the holders of the options an addi tional year during which they may dispose of their holdings to their best advantage.” The option contracts were fur ther modified to permit the secre tary of agriculture to sell any of the cotton for the benefit of the producer after May 1, 1934, at a price of not less than 12 1-2 cents per pound. In the event the secre tary should so decide to sell a por tion cf the cotton then held on op tions by producers, the particulai options to be retired would be se lected by lot. txx Egg Law To Be Well Enforced Number 9 Tom Thumb Wedding HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM THURSDAY NIGHT, AUGUST 16TH, fe O’CLOCK Protracted services will begin at Mt.
