this week by Norman H. Lam-
bert, Freestone County ACA sec-
retary, to give "serious consid-
eration” to marketing their 1948

Farmers may either sell their
equity in the loan cotton or re-
deem the cotton from the loan
and sell It on the open market,
he explained. - __

the pooled cotton, after deduc-
tion of all advances, Interest and
accrued costs, will be dlstrlbut
