Cotton Prices Take A Tumble Washington, Aug. 9.?An adminlstration prediction of a 11,798,000 bale cotton crop for 1936 Thursday sent cotton prices tumbling downward and drew a statement from Secretary Wallace that he saw no cause for anxiety. The forecast, which was hundreds of thousands of bales above both Bankhead Act allotments and most private estimates, was accompanied also by an administration statement that "ample credit facilities" to market the crop would be made available to farmers. What these facilities would be was not made clear, in a formal statement, however, Wallace told the cotton trade that prices would bo maintained. -There was no mention of the amount of a possible loan on the 1936 crop, and in some quarters it was indicated that an effort would be made to delay fixing a loan price until late fall. Several farm officials privately have declared they believed no loan should be made, but admitted that strong pressure was being brought to bear. The first official estimate of this years crop resulted in an immediate decline of $1.50 per bale on the New York market, while at New Orleans the drop was $2. Last year's production was 9,636,000 bales and the government authorized a twelve cent loan to peg the price. Because of carrying charges which have accumulated on the alI most 5,000,000 bales pledged as security for the loans, however, officials said the price must reach thirteen cents per pound before these loans .fan be liquidated. The price at the market close today was below eleven cents for almost all futures. Wallace's statement said if the world consumption was maintained at present levels, foreign and domestic mills could be expected to require considerably more than 11,000,000 bales of American cotton. "The administration," said Wallace, "sees no caqse for anxiety In the present crop estimate. There are ample resources available to carry the present stocks financed by the government for an indefinite period." He added that If, when the" new crop begins to move in volume there appears to be a tendency for prices* to be depressed, the administration will not hesitate to ofTer ample loans that would immediately absorb excess supplies. The Bankhead allotment for 1935 was 10,983,264 bales. The carry over of American cotton on August 1 was estimated at from 8.500.000 to 9,000,000 bales. The report today said the condition of the crop on August 1 was 73.6 per cent of normal and that indicated yield of lint cotton was *198.3 pounds an acre.

I New Bulletin Out i On Cotton Diseases ( Clemson, Aug. 10.?"Cotton Diseases and Method of Control" is tin* title of V. S. 1). A Farmers' Bulletin 174 j prepared by Neal and <J4ll>c*r?. plant pathologists in the Bureau of Plant Industry.. S??n t h Carolina farmers may secure copies of this bulletin , front their congressmen or senators in Washington, I). C. Specific references to the cotton diseases of this section are noted In the bulletin although cotton diseases of a parasitic and nutritional nature j are treated for the entire country. Fusurium wilt, nnthracnose, bacterial blight or angular leaf spot, sore shin (dumping off), ami root knot are parasitic diseases discussed in the bulletin which tend to increase the cost of cotton production in South Carolina. Farmers \vho control these diseases most effectively will reap the greatest profit per acre, other conditions being similur. "The recommendation to dust-treat cotton with organic-mercury disinfectants for the control of ungular leaf j spot will doubtless prove of interest > to many farmers in the state," suys j W. C. Nettles, extension entomologist, discussing the bulletin. "A considerable acreage (around 5,000 acres) was planted with Ceresun dust-treated seed during 1935 by South Carolina farmers. All Ceresan users thus far I interviewed say they are well satisI fled. Excellent stands and Improved j vigor of seedlings were easily discernI ible, and a striking absence of anguI lur leaf spot. All of these advantages I were secured at a cost of nine to 14 I cents per bushel of seed." Farmers desiring more complete information on results secured with dust treatment of cotton seed under South Carolina conditions should ask the Publications Department of Clemson College for copies of the Annual Reports of the South Carolina Experiment Station relating thereto. The Toad'a Protection Snakes, birds of, prey and skunks are the only creatures that toads need fear, according to the Biological Survey. Other animals never consider them as a meal because of the poisonous milky fluid secreted from the glandular lumps behind the toad's eyes. One bite is usually enough to teach a dog or any carnivorous animal his lesson. The skunk, however, is a bit more resourceful. He rolls and tumbles the toad around with his paws until all of the poisonous fluid has been discharged and rubbed off. Then he eats him. Birds avoid the poison and snakes apparently don't mind it.?Pathfinder. Payments Start On Corn-Hog Contracts Dlstrihntion of the first installment of corn-hop payments to farmers throughout tlte eouutry who are cooperating in the 1K3H adjustment program is now under way, according to reports from Washington The lirst block of payments, 01,478 cheeks totaling 14.004,914.95, which left Washington for 33 states on July 37, marked the beginning of first payments on more than A 1111111011 1935 corn-hog contructs. Total corn-hog payments under the 1935 contract will amount to about $186,000,000. First-payment checks now being distributed represent approximately twofifths of the total corn payment and one-half of the total hog payment due farmers participating in this year's adjustment program. In the first installment, tin* producer receives $7.50 of the total of $15 to he paid per head on the adjustment of 10 per cent in hog production, und 15 cents of the 36 cents to he paid per bushel on the production estimated for the ucreage retired from corn production. Every effort will be made to get first-payment checks to farmers us early as possible, suys Claude K. Wlckard, chief of the Administration's corn-hog section, but the rate of distribution will depend largely-upon the rate at which contracts are transmitted to Washington for final acceptance. Less than 200,000 contracts had arrived in Washington prior to August 1. The final installment does not bocome due until after January 1, 1930. Cloudbursts Hit Towns Elrnira, N. Y?

Supplies of hogs /or ttlauKlilcr in the 1936-36 market i UK year. beginning next October, probably will bo oven .Hinuller than the very Hiua11 supplies In the current inarketiiiK year, according to the Iiok outlook recently issued by agricultural economists of the United States Department of AKricullure, Hence the advice of A. L. DuUant, exteiiHion livestock specialist, that South t'aro* Una fanners with surplus pigs above home needs would do well to feed them out for market. Since most new i corn is now mature enough to feed j hogs he hiiggubtb stunting pigs on feed promptly and growing them out to uround 200 pounds as this sl/.e brings the best price. The number of hogs over six months of age on furms June ), this year, from which "number .uiosf of the hogs slaughtered during the remainder of the present year ending September 30 will come, was the smallest for this date in many years, the report shows. The 1936 spring pig crop Is estimated at 30,402,000 head for the United States. This is a decrease of 7,406,000 head, or 10.6 per cent, from the spring pig crop of 1934, and a decrease of 20,814,000 head, or 40 per cent, from the 1932-33 average. The number of sows to farrow in the full of 1936 is estimated at 3,176.000 head, uii Increase of 19.6 per cent over the very hiiuiII number farrowed In the fall of 1934, but 34 per cent smaller than the average of 1932 and 1933. The totul number of litters, spring and fall, to be farrowed In 1936 is indicated us about 8,196,000, a reduction of over 10 per cent from the total of 1934 and of 41 per cent from the average of 1932 and 1933. The end of the downward trend In hog production which begun in the fall season of 1933 apparently was reached with the small spring pig crop of 1936 and Increasing production can be expected for the next two years at least. If feed grain production in 1936 should be average or better, and if no production control i program is in effect, another Increase in hog production In 1937 would be expected, which might bring the total pig crop of that year back to the average of 1932 and 1933.
