Mr. Dominick said he was anxious to tell the people “what ailed them.” The proverbial pot will start boiling soon what with the county convention only about four or five weeks away.

Since these firms face each other we are just wonder ing which is taking his cue from which and we are tempted to do some loafing up that way and find out how it’s done.

Smith Amendment Provides 3 Cents Last Year's Crop Washington, March 21.—The senate agriculture committee has unani- mpdsly approved Senator Smith’s bill amending the recently enacted farm law and authorized Senator Smith, the chairman, to report the measure to the senate on Monday. Among that jimportant provisions of the bill, is the amendment au thorizing the immediate payment of the $130,000,000 cotton subsidy which was authorized by congress last sum mer. As originally enacted, the cot ton producers were required to show compliance with the 1938 program before they could get their check. Under the new Smith amendment, this condition is totally eliminated and the farmer only has to agree to cooperate in the program for this year. Secretary Wallace, in a recent letter to Senator Smith, said the a- doption of this proposal would speed up the payment of these price adjust ment payments by at least two or three months. Another Provision Another outstanding provision in the bill is the one relating to the freezing, or the holding off the market of certain cotton which is now held as collateral by the gov ernment for the loans made on last year’s crop. This amendment provides that the government will pay 1-4 cent per pound to any person who has obtained a loan on cotton produced in 1937, if such produce will trans fer to the government his title to the cotton. The purpose of giving this $1.25 bonus to persons having loan cot ton ig to. /remove from the Chan nels of trade a part of the enor mous surplus that now so seriously menaces the entire cotton world. In commenting on this amendment Smith said: “Unless the government owns »a controlling percent of this surplus, which would accomplish by my it and price shall at feast be sufficient t6 liquidate the govern ment’s investment, we may not hope for any substantial increase in the price of cotton for the 1938 crop and possibly the 1939. 'The objective of my amendment is to make certain that the market will not be flooded with this surplus crop. As a proof of this the market went up at least five dollars a bale between the passage of my previous amendment on the 2 cent basis and promptly lost it on the ruling of the comptroller general, invalidating this provision.” Three-Cent Subsidy Smith said further, “it must be clearly understood that this present amendment in no way affects the early payment of the 3 cent subsidy. This quarter of a cent, taking care of interest, insurance and storage, is an additional bonus for the farmer to relinquish hi" ownership of cotton which is under a 1937 loan.” Another amendment in the bill provides for the more equitable al lotments of cotton acreage to farms in counties where the requirement for allotments to small farms is ex ceptionally large. Since the enact ment of the farm law it has develop ed that certain medium sized farmers will be given allotments which are obviously unfair. In order to remedy this situation the committee agreed to increase the states’ allotments by 2 percent. This additional acreage will be apportioned among farmers which the local committes determine to have inadequate allotments in view of past production of cotton. _ This provision will materially as sist such counties in South Carolina a s Horry, Georgetown, Jasper, Berk eley, Charleston and Beaufort. Senator Smith said he would con fer with Majority Leader Barkley in an effort to arrange for the consid eration of this bill at the earliest possible moment.
