Smi^h today asked Secretary of Agriculture Wallace to issue regula- tiona which would permit cotton farm ers to receive subsidy payments im mediately after planting their 1938 crop, and in so doing release ^ $130,- 000,000 in the cotton belt at a time when money is scarce. Under the terms of the Byrnes amendment to the deficiency bill, passed last summer, growers were to receive a three-cent a pound subsidy after they had demonstrated compli ance with the 1938 program. Senator Smith hiu made teveral efforts by legislation to speed up the s«d>aidy payments. The cmnptroller general ruled against the provision in the new farm bill, and the House conferees refused to include the Smith amendment along with the other AAA amendments recently en acted. At the time Smith said he would attempt to put the amend ment on a rider to the department of agriculture appropriation bill, yet to be passed by the Senate. i Band Concert Next Tuesday I w j The Clinton high school band will i^ive a concert in the high school au- ' ditoriuih on pext Tuesday evening, I April 25, at 8 p.m. The band consisto jof seventeen members and will pre- 'sent a varied program at this time.

In 1492 upon reaching America the Columbus crew noticed natives smoking rolls of dried tobacco. When the Spaniards landed in Mexico in 1519 natives were cultivating tobacco with great care and skill. Cartier, upon discovering Canada, found Indians drying leaves in the sun. John Rolfe, at Jamestown in 1612, is credited with the culture of to* bacco, but it actually did not begin in Maryland until 1631. Tobacco manufacturers have spent millions in scientific research to improve their products. Utmost care has been taken in the selection of the right crops. Tobacco industry for many years has used newspaper advertising to increase sales and put out a better product at lower cost. Cigarettes and tobacco are no exception to the rule of nationally ad vertised brands. The national brand with the manufacturer’s name and trade mark is his guarantee that this product is the best that can be produced for the money.
