was so serious the United States

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

LAURENS PLANS
ROOSEVELT BALL
Laurens, ,Ian. 17.— Plans are going'
forward for the best RiKi.seveJt Ball
that Laurens has ywr had, iC-wni Hn~^
nounced by W. T, Bolt, chairman. 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.
Music is to be furnished by Luther'
Chaney and his 12 piece orchestra, and
the admission prices w'ill ha
reasohaSre. Arrangements will also
be made for those who do not dance,
but who would like to watch this gala
event, and such spectators will be ad
mitted for a nominal charge.
Mr. Bolit stated that he had con-

the Bachelor’s club and the Lions
