Wasljington, Jan. 17.—Congression al conferees adjusting differences be-* tween the house and senate farm hills had “practically agreed on a on program to operaie"~this year,"’ Senator Smith of South Carolina said tonight. He said the program was aimed at a production of 10,600,000 bales in 1938. Smith said 9,500,000 of this w’ould be allotted to states on a basis * of average production in the last five years. The remainder would be allotted so as to “remove any inequalities,” Smith said. The conferees agreed to’IRf^e^ the two-<eht-a-poundj ^10-a-bale penalty provid^ in the house bill for sales fn e^ccesa of fixed quotas. After 1938, Ihey sEtid» this penalty for sales above quota wowi^ be three c^nts a pound. Smith said the quota system on acreage and sales would operate this year “if two-thirds of the cotton growers voting in a referendum ap prove.” This was in line with the senate ^ bill. The house bill provided for a i referendum on controls after the 1938 crop. Smith said the program aimed at a * Charles Brew’.‘;ter Ros.s in 1871.

He stated that this annual event is to be held on the evening of January 28) at the new I^aurens Armory. Mr. Bolt was also chairman last year of this Birthday Ball, and he reports that a substantial sum was realized for| use in local charities and for thei Roo.seveh Foundation for Infantile Paralysis at Warm Springs, Georgia.
