Reminding cotton farmers that j
too big a crop this year would re
sult in production and market con- j
trols for 1954, as well as a depress-!
ing effect on prices, Secretary of
! Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson has
issued a statement regarding the
cotton situation.
“The gcxjd cotton crops of the ^
past two years have supplied the
needs for domestic consumption
and exports,” said the secretary,
“and they have also rebuilt reserve
supplies. Export demand has also!
been falling off from the levels of
recent years. It will therefore not
be necessary, or desirable, for farm
ers to produce as big a crop this
year. A production of 12 to 12.2
million bales now appears to be de
sirable in 1953.
"Plantings reduced nationally by
about 18 percent from 1952 would,
with average yields, produce a crop
of 12 to 12.5 million bales. Based
on present estimates farmers should,
on the average, plant less than five j
acres this year for each six planted
last year, if the^ are to avoid a pro-;
clamation of marketing quotas for
the 1954 crop, under the provisions'
of the controlling legislation. Good

The third annual Sociology Forum
held at Winthrop on March 10, '-iOSJL
was attended by representatives .
from the Clinton J. H. A. chapter.
Dr. Evelyn Millis Duvall, au
thor and consultant in Family Liv
ing, or Chicago, 111., addressed the
group on “Marriage Isn’t What It
Used To Be.” High school students
from North and South Carolina par
ticipated in a panel discussion fol
lowing Mrs. Duvall’s keynote talk,
“Why Should Communities Be Con
cerned With Improving Family
Life?” Ellen Fraser represented
Clinton on this panel. Others who
attended were Jenny Payne, Myra
Burns, Patsy Macdonald, and Mrs.
Roily Bannister.
The representatives who went to
this forum hope to succeed in hav
ing a course in Family Living offer
ed for the grils and boys at Clinton
high. A good example of this is found
in an article, ‘Tamily-Life Courses
for Teen-agers in Asheville, North
Carolina,” in the March issue of the
Ladies’ Home Journal.

The interests of cotton farmers—
individually and collectively—call
for sensible adjustments in 1953
plantings. Too much cotton would
simply pile up stocks, which would
not be needed, even for carry-over
reserve, and would depress the
market.
