THAT GUARANTEED
PRICE
(Prom the Oklahoma Farmer-
Stockman)
It seems necessary to repeat, em-
phasize and assert that the cotton
farmer Is NOT guaranteed a flat
12 cents per pound for his 1935
Bankhead allotment of cotton in ex-
change for signing a 1936 adjust-
ment contract.
In the belief that the AAA has
guaranteed the grower 12 cents per
pound (which, actually, it has not)
many growers are making careless
gales of their cotton. In so doing
they are losing money which they
have no means of recovering.
The offer of the AAA to cotton
growers of the south Is to pay the
farmer a bonus or subsidy which
Will represent the difference be-
tween the average price of cotton on
the ten designated spot markets and
12 cents per pound on the day the
grower sells his cotton.
Let’s see If we can make that plain
beyond any minsunderstandlng. For
example:
On Thursday, October 3 the aver-
age price of cotton on the ten des-
ignated spot markets was officially
10.89. On that day Bill Smith sold
his middling % cotton for 10.44. In
making settlement with Bill, the
AAA will not pay him the differ-
ence between 10.44 and 12. Instead,
it will pay him the difference be-
tween 10.89 and 12, or $1.11 per 100
pounds.
How does it happen that BUI isn’t
going to get the full 12 cents per
pound for his middling % co'ton?
The answer is that it costs money
to get Bill’s cotton from his local
shipping point to the spot markets.
In other words, Bill Is still paying
the freight. Put it another way, the
guarantee of 12 cents is based on
the price of cotton at the spot mar-
kets and not on the local market
price.
In the illustration above it will be
noted we made an allowance of 45

stead, it will pay him the difference
between 10.89, the official average,
and 12.
Thus, Ed will get 11.10 plus 1.11,
or a total price of 12.21.
All of which means that it is up
to the grower to get the full mar-
ket value out of his cotton. If he
does not the loss will be his.
Another point to keep in mind:
In no event will the AAA pay the
grower more than 2 cents per pound.
If the market drops down to 10
cents the grower is expected to ap-
ply for a loan.
However, in making a decision to
apply for a loan the grower might
well keep in mind the facts set
forth above and remember, also, that
most agencies are charging 50 cents
a bale for making out the loan pa-
pers.

points off the average spot market
price. Now, ordinarily, cotton over
most of Oklahoma and parts of west
.Texas sells at about 65 points off.
It so happens, however, that our
western cotton this year has a high
premium basis. Hence, Instead of
deducting 65 points the trade Is de-
ducting around 45 points.
This means that the grower is
getting 20 cents per 100 or $1 per
bale above the average premium us-
ually paid. I don't mean to say that
all growers are getting it, but only
that grower who is getting what his
cotton Is worth.
Unfortunately, many growers are
taking actually less than their cot-
ton is worth in the belief that they
will get the difference between what
their cotton sells for an 12 cents.
But not so.
They will get the difference be-
tween the average price of cotton on
the ten designated spot markets on
the day of sale and 12 cents.
Maybe we can make this a little
bit plainer by using another illus-
tration. Let us take the case of
Sam Jones who, also, on October
3 sold a bale of low middling % cot-
ton for 9.24. Sam will not get the
difference between 9.24 arid 12. In-
stead, he will get the difference be-
tween 10.89 (the official average
price on the ten designated spot
markets) and 12.
In other words, he still gets the
same difference which Bill Smith
got, or $1.11 per 100. Thus, Sam will
realize for his cotton, in total, 9.24
plus 1.11, or 10.35.
On the same day, Ed Brown sold
his bale of middling inch cotton for
11.10. When the AAA comes to set-
tle whh Ed, It will not pay him the

From the ‘Old Masters’
The Italian Renaissance, the
Egyptians and the Greeks have all
laid their marks on the 1936 eve-
ning mode. Such colors as Cardinal
red, Veronese green, Fra Angelico
blue, ecclesiastical purple, black,
white and Ivory; full skirted eve-
ning gowns with puffed sleeves and
low decolletes, hooded monk cape
evening wraps, jeweled embroider-
ies and gem-studded ornaments all
recall the canvases of Italian mas-
ters.
The Grecian influence appears in
fluid backward floating draperies,
which are more important than
ever this year, while Egypt’s stamp
is seen In draperies which mold the
hlpline sand fall In heavy folds In
By day skirts generally are a lit-
tle shortened—slender and tube-like
in certain street clothes, wider for
afternoon wear. Waistlines are nor-
mal or a shade below, necklines
high, shoulders widened and sleeves
large.
The new wmrer coat will be belt-
ed, buttoned or tied in place this
year Instead of held by a weary
hand, and it Is to fit the waistline.
It’s collar may be large swathing
the face or as small and upright as
that of an officer’s uniform. Frog
fastenings are the essence of chic,
for the militiry influence is much
in evidence.
Black, gold and silver braid, mili-
tary frogs, bright embroidery and
velvet trimmings mark the new win-
ter frocks. Belts are big and im-
portant.
