Page Four President Signs Bankhead Cotton Control Measure McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK. SOUTH CAROLINA >34 Washington, April 21.—President Roosevelt today turned the farm administration to its^first experi ment in compulsory control of farm production when he signed the Bankhead bill limiting to 10,000,000 hales the amount of cotton which can be sold from the 1934 crop. The farm administration fol lowed his action by announcing the share of the total which each cotton state will be allowed to produce. The method of determin ing allotments for the 1,000 cot ton producing counties Within tjjie states is now being worked out. In signing the bill President Roosevelt said: *Tt aims to prevent a very small minority who have refused to co operate with their neighbors „.and government from impairing the ef fectiveness of the current cotton .program which now includes 92 per cent of the cotton acreage." -&e added “the cotton states liave found it impossible to act in dependently or in unison” to se cure reduction of cotton acreage and “a democratic government has -consented” to using federal power In an attempt to do so. Administration of the act dur ing the year of its life will be left to Secretary Wallace who has ex pressed himself as extremely du- mous of compulsory control but Willing to try it as an experiment, le secretary left yesterday for >raska City, Nebraska, and eould not be reached for a state- jnent. j . . The act provides that no state which has produced as much as 250,000 bales in any year during the 1928-32 base period shall be given an allotment of less than tOO,000 bales. The remaining. 9,68P,000 bales will be .allotted to other cottotf states on the basis of the percent age that the average-.production of each state during the base per iod is of the total production of states during that period. Administration officials said it was expected producers who sign ed voluntary production control contracts would receive certificates exempting from the taxation pro visions of the act the amount of cotton normally produced on the ^creage permitted under their contracts. Cotton produced in excess of that amount would be subject to x the tax. ^-Allotments by states corrected from the tentative figures an nounced previously and excluding hOssouri and California, which produced less than 250,000 bales gram 1928-1932, given in terms of hales of 500 pounds net weight, ware: Virginia, 30,720; North Caro lina, 507,840; South Carolina, STr,920; Georgia, 838,080; Florida, 14JD00; Tennessee, 323,520; Ala bama, 845,760; Mississippi, 1,052,- Ifg; Arkansas, 916,800; Louisiana, 503,040; Oklahoma, 748,800; Texas, 5^91,200; New Mexico, 60,480; Ari- sona, 72,960; all others, 6,720. . x Tours Magazine At Esso Stations Corh-Hog Sign-up WiU Close May 1 Columbia, April 23.—The corn- bcg sign-up in South Carolina un der the Agricultural Adjustment Administration will close on May 1, announces A. L. DuRant, extension livestock specialist, in charge. * The corn-hog plan is purely vol untary and no canvas is being made ih this state to urge farmers to sign, but any farmer who pro duced and sold hogs in 1932 and 1933 may sfaare in the benefits; and Mr. DuRant advises those who de sire to do so and have not yet sign ed the contract to get in touch with the county farm agent at once. In accepting the Government’s offer under the corn-hog adjust ment plan, Mr. DuRant points out, the farmer agrees to the following: 1. Reduce the acreage planted to ''orn on the farm you will operate in 1934 to at least 20 per cent be low the average number of acres planted to com on this farm during 1932 and 1933. 2. (a) Reduce the size of your brood sow herd so that not more than three-fourths as many litters will be farrowed in 1934 as were farrowed on the average by your sows in 1932 and 1933; (b) market from these litters not more than three-fourths of the average num ber of pigs farrowed and marketed from your own sows in 1932 and 1933, and not increase in 1934 the number of hogs bought and fed for market, above the average number bought and fed during the two- year base period. For making these adjustments the farmer will receive (1) a corn- reduction payment'of 30 cents per bushel on the. estimated yield on the contracted acres; (2) a hpg- adjustment payment of $5.00 per head on 75 per cent of the average number of hogs produced and sold during the past two years. : ——*—x—^ Profits for Clubsters vC.. e.r BOYS’ 4-H MEMBERS MAKE Money and learn much IN 1933, REPORTS SHOW.

"WILL BE DISTRIBUTED THIS SUMMER POINTING OUT TRIPS FOR MOTORISTS As part of an extensive plan to aid motor tourists the Esso Tours and Detours, a monthly rotogravure publication, showing motorists at tractive trips they can make and pointing out road detours, will be issued from June to September through the service stations of the Standard Oil Company of New Jer sey. This company will also distri- bute Esso Road Maps, which have been prepared after extensive re search to bring them up to date amd to show many new roadt which •liave been constructed in the past year. A third activity in behalf of mo tor tourists is the operation of the Bsso Tours and Detours, under the sponsorship of Standard Oil Com pany of New Jersey. As in previous years motorists calling at service stations may get touring service re quest cards which will obtain for them all necessary information on any motor tour they may be plan ning. A corp of touring special ists will handle mail, telephone or personal touring inquire:;. —x Confections made of soy bean products which are popular in the .Orient may be tried out by Amer- £pan confectioners. The net profit made by these boys on their crops and livestock enter prises was $64,696.62. There were 1592 Negro boys con ducting 1592 demonstrations. Those submitting 1404 completed records showed a net profit of $18,743.75. The value of the 4674 result demon strations of white and Negro boys was $170,456.01 of which $83,478.30 was profit. Com demonstrations numbering 1090 among white boys showed the greatest total profits, the 538 cot ton demonstrations coming next, and the 236 calf demonstrations rahking next in profits. Other demonstrations were with tobacco, potatoes, peanuts, gardens, or chards, forestry, hogs, sheep, and poultry. The profits made are not the big gest benefits, Mr. Lewis points out, for the boys are constantly learn ing new methods and scientific facts about farming and are get ting valuable lessons in coopera tion, leadership, and other impor tant matters. He calls attention of country boys to the fact that the opportunities for club work in 1934 are still open and that county a- gents will be glad to enroll mem bers upon request.
