COTTON QUERY
There’s a Cabin in the Cotton,
But no Cotton in the Cabin;
Aunt Jemima’s gettin’ supper
In a dress of acetate;
Uncle Peter in a polo shirt
And pants of rayon yarn,
Wears a tie of purple silk-spun
While he’s milking in the barn;
Sara Manth’s peelin’ 'taters in
Her brand new' celanese;
Arabella in her bemberg
’S on the doorstep shellin’ peas;
Baby Ned and little Eva,
Crawlin’ round the cabin floor,
Have on little lastex rompers
From the 5 and 10-cent store;
Oh! the Cabin’s in the Cotton still,
Just like in verse and song,
But with no Cotton in the Cabin,
It be there very long?

Russell Drafts New
Plan for Increasing
Agriculture
New Price Boosting Scheme to
Introduced at Next Session
of Congress.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13—A
farm price boosting scheme,
rating the domestic allotment idea
designed to be self-financing, will
presented to congress next
perhaps with the blessing of
Wallace.
The new program already has
drafted into bill form by Senator
sell, Democrat, Georgia, who calls
the "certificate plan.” He said
would Introduce it early in the
session, and, while there has been
public expression concerning it
Secretary Wallace, Agriculture
partment experts aided Russell
drafting his measure,
The Georgia senator expressed
fidence that the plan would be
ed eventually.
’'Something Must Be Done"
“I don’t know whether it will be
the next session or not,” he said,
something has to be done because
farmers arc not getting parity prices
in spite of the large appropriations
that have been made.”
Congress appropriated $1,194,498,
000 for the Agriculture Department
at the last session, including $773,
000,000 in payments for farmers. In
this latter amount was $225,000,000
for parity payments not in the Pres
■ ident’s budget, and Mr. Roosevelt ex
j pressed disapproval of congressional
failure to provide taxes to meet this
additional outlay. Processing taxes
were regarded as about the only prac
L>enl way to raise the money, but con
gressional sentiment ran agdinst them,
The certificate plan, however, would
not involve the levying of a direct pro
cessing tax. In fact, no money would
pass through the federal treasury, ob¬
viating the necessity of large appro¬
priations for farm benefits and equal¬
ly large tax collections.
Here is how it would work, as ex
plained by Russell:
The secretary of agriculture would
be empowered to issue to a grower
certificates covering his proportion of
a normal domestic crop. In the case
of cotton, for instance, the grower who
cultivated 10 acres and got 200 pounds
of cotton to an acre on an average
over the previous five-year period,
would get certificates for the part
his 2,000 pounds of c®tton that ordi¬
narily was sold domestically.
This would be determined on a
mestic acreage allotment
number of acres calculated to
the domestically-consumed crop.
When the domestic cotton
sought to purchase this farmer’s
ton. he would pay the market
for it. But he could not buy it
out buying the farmer’s
which would be worth the
between the market price and the
ity price which had been fixed
congress or some other agency.
Can Be Sold in Pool
Thus if the market price were
cents a pound and parity had been
termined at 15 cents, the price of
certificates would be 5 cents a
For practical purposes, Russell
plained, the farmer could sell his
tificates in a pool to be managed
the Department of Agriculture,
the check-up would be made on
manufacturer when he attempted
sell cotton goods. He would be
. quired certificates
to produce to
ithe cotton in those goods,
If the farmer elected to grow
cotton than his domestic allotment, he
would have to take his chances on
the world market price on the sur¬
plus. There would be no certificates
involved in export sales, but imports
would require certificates.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Mon¬
tana, who is supporting the certifi¬
cate plan for wheat, said he thought
it offered the best possible method of
paring down expanding farm appro
priations and at the same time giving
the farmers a fair price for their
products.

GOVERNMENT TESTS
QUALITY OF COTTON
W. L. Houser, owner and manager
of one of the local cotton ginning
establishments, has entered into a co
operative agreement with the U. S.
Department of Agriculture and the
Georgia Experiment Station to make
available certain information on the
quality of the local cotton.
Under this agreement Mr. Houser
will draw a commercial sample of
bale of cotton he gins and mail
it to Atlanta to be classified by U.
Government cotton classers. The
government will use the information
in making its bi-monthly reports on
the quality of the current crop and in

READY
For Ginning
Since last season I have installed the
latest and most modern drier and cleaner on
one of my gins. In my opinion, this machine
is very efficient and should give the maximum
of benefits. The other gin has been thorough¬
ly checked over and put into the best of con¬
dition.
We are in position to gin your cotton
either with or without the cleaner and drier
and we hope you will make use of both gins
A and determine for yourself the benefits of each.
We will greatly appreciate your business
and assure you of the very best of service
there is to he had in the ginning of your
cotton.
