m Waahingrton, Aug. Ifi.—As an aid to marketing their crop in an orderly 'way. Southern farmers who received 1932 production loans from the agri culture department today were offer ed the privilege of storing cotton or placing it in e'wperative pools. AH cotton itored or placed in an optional pool, must, however, be sold by March 1, l!i33, and sea.sonal pool off I hr to pay loans which become due on November 30. By taking advantage f)f these plans, farmers can hold their . rop for any possible rhse in prices, and at the same time prevent a glut on the niai’- er<;ig:nty of the West Indian islands j which they oym. Perhaps the immedi- i ate benefit to us of the ownershin of Bermuda, the 'Bahamas, Jamaica, Martinique, Barbadoes and the other islands of the West Indies may not be apparent, but at least such an of- ’ fer from tho.se nations would be an evidence of good faith. There is an j idea that it would be accepted. 21.St Amendment?
