The first photographic portrait in this country was made in 1840. “Shortly after Congress conven ed, I suggested to certain Senators and Congressmen from the cotton growing states what I thought would relieve the situation so far as the terrible condition of cotton was concerned. I was so encour aged by thei^r reception of it that I had Mr. Williams of the Farm Board, who represents cotton on that Board, and Mr. Stone, who represents tobacco, meet with cer tain Senators and Congressmen from the cotton growing states. The plan was fully discussed and my understanding was that the Board would take it under advise ment and "decide what they would do in reference to it. . “The plan was this: That, as the price of cotton was $25 or $30 a bale below the cost of produc tion and as the consumption of cotton was decreasing and the probabilities were that there would be an unusually large carry-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 pres ent crop at the present price and resell this to the cotton growers on credit, the grower agreeing not to plant any cotton on land owned or controlled by him for the year 1931. The producer could either obligate himself to purchase half of his crop or the whole of it. This would enable the cotton producer to devote his cotton lands and la bor to the production of diversi fied f6od crop, cattle, hog and chicken raising. This would take from the market the -surplus cot ton. The very object of the pres ent Farm Marketing Act was to take care of the surplus, which it is authorized to do under the law. Now under this plan the Farm Bo ard would purchase" the surplus, 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 expense of reproducing this amount; relieving the market of the surplus cotton and giving him the opportunity of raising an abundant food crop in the form of cattle, grain, hay, etc. If the cot ton can be purchased at from $20 to $30 per bale cheaper than he can make it and if the curtailment of production to the amount of five or six million bales would raise the price, it seems an axiom atic economic feat that the Farm Board buying this cotton now and reselling it to the farmer who will contract not to duplicate it, would be of incalculable profit to the cotton grower and would demon-, strate the usefulness of the Farm Board and save the situation. In a word, if the Farm Board would purchase \ this cotton now and sell it to the! farmers on credit, the farmers to whom they sell it agree ing 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 pro ducer under these terms, would be held by the Board, together with the farmer’s note and his contract 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 ex istence; he would be in a position to carry on in 1932 with an abund ance of food stuffs and the Farm Board would have demonstrated its ability to relieve the situation. In a word, the surplus cotton that is depressing the price now and is the vital element in the future price, would be taken off the market by the Board, distributed among the producers, thereby relieving the Board of the danger of cumula tive surpluses and giving the pro ducers an opportunity of partici pating in the advance in price of the cotton thus distributed. The Board already has agents in the field asking farmers to reduce acreage. The acreage reduction un der this voluntary plan will, at best be an estimate. The only in centive to reduce under the volun tary plan would be that a very small crop in 1931 would bring more than a larger crop. Under this proposed plan, the number of acres reduced would be known ac curately; the number of bales act ually eliminated would be known accurately and the profits, if cot ton should rise in price, would be known definitely. It is the opin SMOOTHNESS The new Ford has more than twenty hall and roller hearings 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* her. 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, roller bearings are used regardless of their higher cost. The deciding factor is the per* f ormance 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.

Drawers 910, AUGUSTA, GA. ■/putKs Oldest Nursery ion of those who have discussed this plan that the farm demonstra tion agents in every county in the cotton growing states, together witji such other agents as the Bo ard might employ, could have these contracts signed before planting time. It is to be definitely under stood that the amount of cotton sold to anyone producer shall not exceed the amount he made in 1930. “This plan has been before the Farm Board for nearly a month. It having not been adopted, I feel "hat 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 bankers and loan associa tions in their several states to put it into operation.” The following message was re ceived Friday from Senaor Smith: ceived Friday from Senator Smith: January 23, 1931.
