In addition to these ad? dresses Miss Jackson held several student council meetings and reach ed many college women in the presentation of the problems they are attempting to handle.' Dean Jackson was invited here by Miss Flossie McClain, registrar of Allen and the Columbia - _ Blanch of the College Women's club. Miss McClain saw to it that Dean Jackson's stay in Columbia was pleasant and many friends assisted in making the entertainment high class and enjoyable. The addresses delivered by the Tuskegee official made a profound impression and should be verv beln ful in many ways in inspiring college women to challenge the proh lems _which?they are attempting" to solve thru their organizations and local chapters. 1 ^ : Benedict < r 1?7?1?H :omes P ' ftal hia Well ma a TAG Di SOME FACTS ABOUT THE NEW FARM ACT THAT NEGRO FARMERS SHOULD KNOW. The legislation provides market ing. quotas on cotton, tobacco, wheat, corn and rice in those years when the supplies of these crops i ' reach the point where they result' J in very low prices and consequent' ly a low income for the farmer.[ Each farmer will get his share ! of a quota. ' For example, the to-j^ 1 tfll rnttnn nfrnnfrn qimtii fnr will be 26,300,0$0 acres. This will be allotted to the states, counties! and finally to the individual farm, i I But, before . the cotton quota goes into--effect for 1938, the farxnei's will, vote on itr If""One-third" of the farmers who take part ;n the voting on March 12, vote against the quotas, there will be no quota on cotton this year. The . same thing is true of proposed \ quotas on fiue-cured and dark tobacco. Any farmer who grew Cotton, . flue-cured tobacco, or dark tobacco in 1937 is eligible to vote in the referenda to be held March 12th. The ballot will' be "secret?no one I is entitle^ to know how an individ ual farmer votes. All Negro far^ mers who grew cotton, flue-cured tobacco or dark tobacco in 1937 "Should plan to '* te. The ballot box es will be placed in almost every' cotton or tobacco^growing eommun ity. , A farmer_who receives his acre' age under the cotton or tobacco quotas?if thev are?lnlleffact?i?rTIFJ8?is not forced to plant his acreage allotment and no more, j1 For example, his acreage allotmen may be ten acres. He may plant all ' the cotton he has land to plant and ' qp]] tVin nnttAM AL - ? ^v,ww.. Biu?ii un me acres over 10 acres. But, he will have to' pay a tax of two cents a pound \ on his excess cotton. And he will ..not bo entitled to leceive Ihfe AAA ] _payments. -Farmers?generally will therefore, find it to their advan- 1 tape to plant only their acreage 1 allotment. 11 'Tenants or sharecroppers, are.entitled to share in AAA payments i as they share in the crop. For "I example, if the sharecropper got < half the cotton on twenty acres of cotton, he is entitled to half the AAA payment made for diversion j on that farm." Negro farmers should visit their , Agents, or their?County AA~A~committee, and where possi- * ble learn all they can about the program. If they wish further information, they may write the Southern Division. AAA, Dept. of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., or to James P. Davis, Head Field Officer, Southern. Division, AAA, 916 Gaines St., Little Rock, Ark. The aim of. the quotas is to keep the supply, of cotton and commodities balanced so that farmers will pet the largest possible ' return from their crops. Negro farmers" should remember, however, that we have a lot of cotton o n hand carried over from fastyear ann rney snould not he disappoint- i ed if the price this fall is not all they expect. .
