There is an immense popular edu

the American people are bound to
emerge with ^ broader and sounder
understanding of economic prin

had before. h,- / ;
, One reason why ^deas rather
than personalities are in the saddle
is the fact that President Roose
velt has surrounded himself with
scholars, men who have made a
lifelong study of fundamentals,
whose interests not primarily
political but lie in the broad fields
of sociology and economics. It is
easy to sneer at the “Brain Trust”
but if we really believe that all
college professors are ignoramuses,
then why do we bother to send
our sons and daughters to college?
Those . who profess to look with
contempt upon learning are usually
inspired by envy; 'they cannot
tolerate the idea that someone else
knows more than they do.
There is no longer any doubt
that our whole social, economic
and political scheme of things is
being made over into something
which, to most of us, will be both
ne# and strange. It is therefore
all to the good that so many people

tent by'Cully A. Cobb, chief of
the cotton section of the Agricul
tural ^Adjustment Administration.
The first' installment is scheduled
for the pefiod between March 1
and April 30, £ time in which mast
growers are* preparing to plant and
when they are badly in need of
funds. The money received in the
if at payment will permit farmers
to take care of many items of cur-
ent expense necessary for success-
:ul farming. The second rental
Payment will be made during the
oeriod between August 1 and Sep
tember 30, when the grower needs
money to finance his cotton pick
ing.
A third phase of this “getting on
a cash basis” is that the grower
saves on the overhead cost of
handling* the acres retired from
cultivation. These three advan
tages, coupled with the fact that
the farmer is being allowed a lib
eral rental payment, is being guar
anteed a parity payment of one
ent a pound on his part of the
domestic allotment, and will real-
ze more money from the cotton
Past Production
Gives Allotment
Base For Cotton
Individual farm allotments in
the cotton adjustment program are
determined on 'the basis of the
grower’s own reports, qhecked a.id
revised if necessary by the com
munity and county committees of
the production control association,
says Mr. ,E. L. Rogers^ McCormick
County agricultural agent, ... an
swering frequently asked questions
on the determination of past acre
age and production figures.
The national cotton crop is di-.
vjded^ among the various cotton-
producing states on the basis of
the past acreage and production
of cotton in each during the base
period, according to the statistical
records of the United States De-
peartment of Agriculture-. This
gives the basis for determining the
individual state allotment which is
40 per cent of the past average
production for the state.
Each individual is entitled to an
allotment which represents that
share of the state allotment which
has been grown on his farm. His
past acreage and production fig
ures for the base period furnish
the basis for determining his allot
ment, which will be 40 per cent of
the average annual cotton pro
duction on his farm.
The grov/er’s reports of j5ast
production are checked by the
community and county committees
of the production association, be
fore they are certified for contract
acceptance, and in instances where
individual fanners are giving too
high . figures for acreages and
yields, the county committees are
returning contracts to farmers for
revision, downward as to acreages
and yields. No contract will be
accepted by the county committees,
Mr. Rogers announces, if it is out
of line with what actually hap
pened on that farm during the
base period, 1928-§2. He therefore
urges the co-operation of all farm
ers towards saving time and trou
ble in this respect.

Hospitals and doctors have always
used liquid laxatives. And the pubHtr
is fast returning to laxatives in liquid
form. Do yop know the reasons?
The dose of a liquidjaxativc can be
measured. The action can thus be
regulated to suit individual need. It
forms no habit; you need not take a
“double dose” a day or two Ipter.
Nor will a mild liquid laxative irritate
the kidneys.
The, right dose of a liquid laxative
britrgs a perfect movement, and there
is no discomfort at the time, or after.
The wrong cathartic may often do
more harm than good.
A properly prepared liquid laxative
like Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin
brings' safe relief from'.constipation.
It gently helps the average person’s
bowels back to regularity. Dr. Cald
well’s Syrup Pepsin is an approved
liquid laxative which all druggists
keep ready for use. It makes an
ideal family laxative; effective for
all ages, and may be given the
youngest child. Member N. R. A.

“Continued growth and improve
ment in fanners’ co-operatiye as
sociations during the past. few
years . . . constitutes one of the
hopeful factors in the agricultural
situation”, says the Dairymen’s
League News editorially.
“There are now mo»e than 11,000
eo-operative associations . . . ac
tively engaged in. business in the
United States. The dollar volume
of business of these co-operatives
last year is placed at $1,340,000,00Q.
“Emphasis is everywhere being
. directed toward strengthening the
■ organization structure, manage-
; ment and financial positions of
existing co-operative associations
and in assisting associations inad-
- cquately organized and lacking
sufficient capital to meet the pres
ent situation.”
That is' something worth talking
> about—and it is an indirect tribute
to the wisdom, foresight and plain
‘ good sense of the average Ameri
can farmer. During depression a
number of the better co-ops, deal
ing in cotton, dairy products and
other goods ha^e. shown what ag
gressive organizations can do for
their members. The steady, accel
erating growth of the co-operative
movement is one of the brightest
signs of recovery.
