Say Cotton Surplus !
Must Be Reduced
Clemson College, June 20.?"The
present cotton surplus must be wiped
out."
"That, in effect, is our immediate
concern," says Cully A. Cobb, in
charge of administering the Agricultural
Adjustment .Art as it applies to
cotton, to Dr. W, Wo Long, director of
the Extension iService, which is
charged with conducting the work in
South Carolina. **The surplus of cotton
accumulated through years of
food crops and accentuated by reason
of the world-wide depression stands
like an impenetrable barrier on the
road to better prices for the cotton'
power."
Thi? surplus, it is explained, began
to accymul.-tte back in 1929 when the
carry our -if American cotton in the
world wa.- some 4,500,000 bales. By
August ]the carry-over had
Ireached the total of 13,000,000 bales.
And in that year a 13,000,000 bale
rrop wa* p.duced, making a supply
of 2fi.uuii.ouu bales. This year, 1933,

Growers To Decide
Cotton Reductions
Clemson College, June 20.?Farmers
themselves will answer the
question .of whether or not the reduction
campaign is to be attempted this
year. Opportunity for~the approximately
two million cotton producers
to sign up will be offered throughout
the cotton producing states during a
special "Cotton Week" campaign
which will start during the week of
June 26. Contracts will be made
available to the growers through
local committees which are 'being
organized in the 820 cotton producing
counties of the South: Dr. W. W.
Long, director of the Extension Service,
anounces that county agricultural
agents will have full information
on the contracts and general plan.
The contracts \vhich the grower
will be asked to sign provide that, for
a definite consideration, the producer
offers to retire from production'a
described portion of his cotton acreage.
Each farmer may take out of
production not more than 40 per cent
of his land now planted to cotton. The
Secretary of Agriculture will probably
reject offers of less than 25 pen
cent of the acreage of any producer, i
unless such acreage is very convenient
to check or the yield is unusually
high.
Two alternate plans are offered
the cotton producer in taking advantage
of the "considerations" offered
him for his acreage reductions. Under
the first plan, he will receive a cash
compensation for his cooperation
based on the productivity of the land
he takes out of production. This will
range from $G per acre for land
yielding on the average around 100
pounds of lint cotton per acre to $12
for land yielding on the average 275
pounds or more per acre. In addition
under the first plan, the grower can
take an option on - government-held
cotton, in an arnpunt equal to that
which he agrees to ^retire from production,
and at a price of 6 cents per
pound.
Under the second of the alternate
available for the grower, a cash
OOWfefit is paid without the cotton
option. The amount of this compensation,
on an acre basis, will range
from $7 for land yielding from 100 to
124 pounds per acre to $20 for land
yielding 275 pounds or more per
acre.

Blunder in Lew Provided

Strange mistakes u r*? sometimes
made In drafting parliamentary t?iHe.

quonces If not pttt right.

penalties If pnrliataent had not regularised
their position.
Then, some years ago, It was disj
covered that divorces of Anglo-Indians
pronounced In Indian courts
were invalid. As the Indian courts
had been dealing with such cases for
a long time and many of the people
affected had remarried, things would
have been awkward If the law had not
been altered.
Sometimes a blunder creeps In during
the passage of a bill through parliament.

Habit, of "Coon."
"Coons" are animals of the woodland
edges and habitually frequent
grounds where running water Is available.
They build their homes preferably
in hollow trees, hut occasionally
may be found in rocky crannies and
even In bank furrows. Tracks of the
raccoon curiously resemble those that!
might be made by the hands of a very
small child.' In food habits, the rac-.
coon bars practically nothing on the
menu. Frogs, fish, flesh, fowl, eggs,
reptiles, Insects, shell-fish, fruit, nuts,
grain, vegetables, and sweets are ac1
ceptable fare with him; not equally
so, but welcome at all times. If near
water, the raccoon usually washes his
food carefully before eating It.

' Lifting, Power, of Gate.
Hydrogen will lift ().(>71 pounds per
cubic foot, under ordinary conditions
while helium will lift O.Oflfi pounds per
cubic foot. At sen level under average
conditions, 1.000 cubic feet of air
weighs about 80 pounds, while the
same amount of hydrogen weighs
about 5 pounds, and the same amount
of helium about 12 pounds. As It is
difficult to get these gases In the pure
state, their actual lifting power per
