Davis, AAA adminis trator, after a conference in which Secretary Wallace and congressmen from the cotton States participated. To help small farmers who com plained against the measure, their al lotments under it will be increased 10 per cent. The Bankhead law, passed largely through the efforts of Senator Bank- head (Democrat) of Alabama,—who t -=#= participated in the discussion today, places a tax of 5% cents a lint pound on all cotton sold from this year’s crop in excess of 10,460,251 bales. The measure was the first compul sory crop control legislation, and President Roosevelt had to approve it publicly beforfc it was passed by con gress. Primarily* Because of drought, the production of cotton this year is esti mated at only 9,252,000 bales, more than a million bales below the Bank- head quota. Nevertheless, many farm- of your church and since he, through aayig- that he. never intends voting for pthe same leadership, has aeceptsTfl* ers east of the Mississippi river and some elsewhere will have to pay the levy. Their production ha 8 exceeded or will exceed, the allotment assigned them under the measure. This, com bined with dqlay and administrative difficulties, led to an outcry for out right suspension of the law. That idea was abandoned, so far as the farm administration was concerned, at today’s conference. Wallace pointed out that the county allotments thus far were only 90 per cent of the final allotment each coun ty would receive. We»t vs. East. “In other words,” he said, “we re- reserve 10 per cent of the allotmen to handle cases where there might be injustices and inequities. But I think this fact has not been generally recog- -alfrp'i and that this lit per cent Wttt j us j arounj the coiner, take care of the situation.” Everybody present said he hoped so, but Senator Russell (Democrat) of Georgia, interposed: “I don’t wan to be bound. If the small farmers are taken care of, I have no objection to continuance of the bill, but if present injustices con tinue, I want the bill suspended.” “That is my position,” said both Senator George (Democrat) of Geor gia, and Representative Brown,' of Georgia. The delegation that visited Secre tary Wallace was divided on continu ance or suspension of the control bill. Most of the group from west of the Mississippi, among them being Chair man Jones, of the house agriculture committee, opposed suspension be cause, in their view, it would be an injustice to farmers who did not raise the allotment given them. For example, Texas is expected to fail almost 854,000 bales below the 3,- 237,000 bales given the State under the Bankhead bill.. If there i s any market for them, farmers' certificates —each representing a bale which may be marketed tax free—will be sold for HO each « The fanners in Texas, and other States affected by olfactory nerves had enjoyed its savory odors, send, the ham over to said friend’s house and he’d e&t it.
