SENATOR SMITH’S COTTON ACREAGE REDUCTION PLAN < Sfc-i > Last week, Thu Pooplp-Sehtinel pub- ... - 1 - bshed a letter written by Goorj^e R. Bowman, OranpruburK C-nunty farmer, in which he outlined a cotton acreage veduetkn plan to the Federal Farm lioanl. Since then, a letter has la-en » received from Senator K. O. Smith. - wherein the Senator say.s thkt he sub mitted a similar plan to Carl Wil liams, of the farm board, several weeks j»k°- Senator Smith says: “Shortly after Congress convened I suggested to c< rtain Senators and Congressman from the cotton griming States what I thought would relieve the situation so far as the terrible condition of cotton was concerned I wa s so encouraged by their reception i f it that 1 had Mr. Williams of the Farm Board, who represents, cotton on that Board, and Mr. Stone, who rep resents tobacco, meet with certain Senators and Congressmen from the •sitton growing States. The plan was fully discussed and my understanding was that the Board would take it un der advisement and decide what they would do in reference U> it. “The plan was this: That, a 3 the price of cotton was $‘2. r ) or $.‘{0 a bale below the cost of production and as the consumption of cotton wa« de- < ceasing and the probabilities were that there would be an unusually large <arry-over of cotton on August 1,1931, to add to the current crop of 1931, that there was danger of cotton being even lower than now. To remedy this situation, the Board was to buy five or six million bales of the present crop at the present price and resell this to the cotton growers on credit, the'grower agreeing not to plant any . cotton tifrland owned or controlled by him for the year 19.‘11. The producer could either obligate himself to pur chase half of his crop or the whole of it. This would enable the cotton producer to devote his cotton lands and labor to the production of diversi fied food crops, cattle, hog amt chick en raising. This would take from the market the surplus cotton. The very object of the present Farm Market ing Act was to take care of the sur plus, which it i s authorized to do un der the law. Now under this plan the Fafm Board would purchase the sur plus, resell it to the cotton producers, thereby, giving to the producer a chance to make a profit on this amount so purchased, relieve him of the ex- ■s.. pense of reproducing this amount; re lieving the market of the surplus cot ton and giving him tin* opportunity of raising an abundant food crop in the form of cattle, grain, hay, etc. If the cotton can be* purchased at from $20 to $30 per hale cheaper than he can make it and if the curtailment of pro duction to the aimrant of five or six million hales would raise t^e price, it seems an axiomatic economic fact that who have discussed this plan that the farm demonstration agents in every county in the cotton growing States, together with such other agents as the Boaid might employ, could have these contracts signed before planting time. It is to be definitely understood that the amouiit of cotton sold to any one producer shall not exceed the amount he made in 1930. “This plan has been before the Farm Boaid for nearly a month. < It having not been adopted, 1 feel that the public at large should be given an opportunity to study it and perhaps the cotton growing States can take it up and agree with the banker^ an^ loan associations in their several States to put it into operation.” Production of United States Paper Currency The paper used In making United States paper money Is of the toughest linen and is made by a secret process protected by statute penalizing its manufacture'tor other purposes. Sup plies of blank paper are guarded as carefully as the finished money, ftir If a counterfeiter <nin obtain this dis tinctive paper he has made a good start toward producing spurious cur rency. The plates from which money is printed are made with the most ex acting care. The public is not permit ted to see the engravers at work, nor does any one engraver prepare an ea- tire plate. It usually takes about a year of continuous work to complete ofoe of the original plates. The money never is printed from these originals, but from duplicates made by a riie- chnnical process. The fine lines on paper money are made, upon the orig inal plates by ft geometric machine winch has as many combinations as the best safe lock, each combination producing a different design. Each bill contains many symbols which tell the initiated from what plate It was printed, who engraved the plate and who printed the bill. It requires {about 20 days to complete the intricate proc ess of getting a piece of papefjmoney ready for circulation, during which period it is .counted about 50 times. The average life of paper money in the United States is less than two years. Improved Uniform International ' ~ , tg. , Ui v 1 the Farm Board buying this cotton -"now affirrcscBtint it to the farm., sercanU tire strictly will contract not to duplicate it, would t be of incalculable profile to the cotton grower and would demonstrate the use fulness of the Farm Board and save the situation. In a word, if the Farm Board would purhase this cotton now and sell it to the farmers on credit, the faimers to whom they sell it a- greeing not to plant, next fall, say next December, this cotton would be sold, interest, insurance, storage and purchase price deducted and whatever profit there is, will be given to the farmer. Of course, this cotton thus sold to the purchaser under these terms, would be held by the Board, to gether with the farmer’s bote and his c< ntract not to plant If the law of supply and demand operates at all, it means that under this, plan, cotton would probably double its price; the farmer would probably make a profit on the cotton already in existence; he would he in a position to carry op in 1932 with an abundance of food stuffs and the Farm Board would have demonstrated its ability to relieve the situation . In a woivt, the surplus cot ton tl it is depressing the price now and is the vita] element in the future price, would he taken off the market by the Board, distributed aifiong the producers, thereby relieving the Board of the danger of cumulative surpluses and giving the producers »m opportunity of participating in the advance in price of the cotton thus distributed. The Board already has agents in the field asfting farmer s to reduce acreage. The acreage reduc tion under this voluntary plan will, at liest he an estimate. The only incen tive to- reduce under the voluntary plan would be that a very small crop m 1931 would bring more than a lar gcr crop the numl>e known accurately, the number of balo s actually eliminated would be known accurately and the profits, if cotton should rise in price, would, be knowri definitely., It is the opinion of those ;;w a. Early Railroads Cared Little for the Humble The shades of early third-class travelers ought to smile with satisfac tion on hearing the report that first class railway travel Is “doomed.” The railways were planned for the wealthy. Down to 1845 the third-class passenger bad no legal status at all, , many com panies refused to curry him at any price, while others put him in an open goods truck with movable seats placed across it and charged him 114 pence a mile for tire privilege. lie was conveyed with other un clean animals b^ cattle-tralps, lie was shunted about in Ids .bufferless box for hours, and when at last lie reached ids destination, Covered with dust ami cinders, it was to see a notice that ordered not to porter for'-WfigOn^pas 1 sengers." Third-class passengers, nevertheless, persisted in traveling. The companies introduced the "Stanhope.” This con sisted of a box about 18 feet long, divided into four compartments by two wooden bars crossing each other in the middle. There.was a door to each compartment, but no seats, so that the number of passengys it could contain depended upon the bulk of the “Stenhopers.” Usually Gy passengers were crowded into a witgon!—Man chester (Eng.)

On Her Own Heed •No,!’ said the millionaire, gently, “I haven’t the slightest objection to your asking my daughter to marry you.” “Thank you,” exclaimed the young man with a title but no cash. “You go and ask her.” the million aire proceeded, thoughtfully. “I won’t interfere.

While engaged in teaching in the synagogue, 'Jesus was interrupted by a man who had a “spirit of an unclean devil,” who cj^led out .with a loud voice asking that he be left alone, profess- , ing knowledge of him as the Holy One of God. Jesus rebuked the demon and compelled him to come out of the man. At the command of Jesus the demon came out of the man with a violent struggle. This healing shows Jesus not only gracious but powerful to set free men who are under the power of the Devil, and also Ids ability to free men from the whole brood of diabolical passions such us lust, envy,’ anger, and jealousy which rule them. This mani festation of divine power amazed the people, causing them to cry out, "What a word is this!” t IL Jesus Heals Peter's Motfier-in- Law of a Great Fever (vv. 38-41). Tlds woman was prostrate with a great fever. They of Peter’s house hold CFsought Jesus in her behalf. He rebuked the fever and it left her so that she immediately arose umf minis tered unto them. No earthly phy sician has ever been known to heal in that way. Divine healing is imme diate and complete. It is most impor tant that we distinguish between di vine healing and faith healing. Faith healing is the result of the action of the mind Upon the body, and is meas ured by the degree-of the faith of the individual, while divine healing is the action of the power of God upon the_ diseftsed one and is always complete and immediale. ^ As a result of lids manifestation of divine power, the fame of Jesus spread abroad and many sick of divers dis eases were brought unto him and he healed them all. III. Jesus Heals a Leper (5:12-15). Leprosy was a most loathsome and terrible disease. Because of Its foul ness, one afflicted therewith was an outcast. Leprosy was incurable by man, therefore, the leper was, regard ed as hopeless and dead. In response to the leper's earnest request Jesus touched him and bade the leprosy to depart, and immediately he was healed and cleansed. Leprosy Is a type of sin. Though sin is loathsome, hideous and separating, Jesus has power to save those who come to him by faith. IV. Jesuc Heals a Paralytic (5:18- 20). 1. Watched by the Pharisees and -4<M£Qrs the law (v. 17). The spreading atiroatf•' incited jealousy on the part of these men. They did not want to get too close to him, but close enough to know what was going on. \ " I 2. The paralytic brought to Jesus- (vv. 18, 19). This is a fine lesson of Christian service. They could not heal ^ the man, but being moved by sym pathy they co-operated in bringing him to Jesus who could heal and restore. Their efforts in bringing the man show their willingness to go to pains and Trouble to bring tho needy, man to Jesus. 3. The man’s sins forgiven (v. 20).' Jesus looked back of the palsy to Its cause—sin. The effect of his sin was before Jesus, hilt he proceeded to deal with tlie cause of it. All disease and death are the result of sin. The Lord deals first with that which was at. the root of the trouble. Jesus saw the faith not only of those who brought him but of the man himself. 4. The purpose of miracles (vy. 21, 22). The Pharisees accused Christ of blasphemy when he declared the man’s sins forgiven.. Jesus showed them that back of the benefleient deed to the man was the demonstrat^n of ids deity. The main purpose in the working of miracles is the authenti cation of the divine mission of the one performing them. While the divine power and authorit^are thus shown, the wisdom and love of God are shown in thifct in all cas?s the supernatural work Is for the good of the individual. ft*The relative value of physical Ills and moral and spiritual maladies (vv».-23, 24). physical Ills are less serious than the sins which cause them. , ■ v * •- —- '•3*4..* •»*—---* ' ■ Lift Up Yoflr Eyes Hath lie a tfup of affliction in one hand?
