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.

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

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.

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

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. I’ve given her a good edu
cation and taught her to read the
newspapers, and If she doesn't know
enough to say ‘No’—why, she doesn't
deserve any better luck.” — Stray

Rece-Hors^ Locomotives
Flying engines and flying horses are'
synonymous to the London and North
eastern railway. It has named eight
new locomotives after famous race
'-horses. The engihes. which are of
the Pacific type.iand which will haul
passenger trains on,.the east coast
route over the track of the Flying
Scotsman, are as follows: Trigo, Man
na, Gainsborough, Bock Sand. Rook
l>aw. Call Boy. Spearmint and Cicero.
Their equine prototypes, with one ex
ception, Book Law, have, won the
Derby in the last twenty-seven years.
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 * •- —-

The neh> Ford has more than

EVIDENCE of the high quality built into the new Ford
is the extensive use of ball and roller bearings. There
are more than twenty in all — an unusually large num-
beirt Each bearing is. adequate in size and carefully
selected for the work it has to do, . —
At some points in the Ford chassis you will find ball
bearings. At others, rollfer bearings are used regardless
of their higher cosL The deciding factor is the per
formance of the car.

The extensive use of ball and roller bearings in the
new ford insures smoother operation, saves gasoline,
increases speed and power, gives quicker pick-up, de
creases noise, and gives greater reliability and longer life
to vital moving parts.
Other outstanding features that make the new ford
a value far above the price are the Triplex shatter-proof
glass windshield, silent, fully enclosed four-wheel brakes,
four Houdaille double-acting hydraulic shock absorb
ers, aluminum pistons, chrome silicon alloy • valves*
three-quarter floating rear axle. Rustless Steel, the ex
tensive use of fine steel forgings, and unusual accuracy
