COTTON ACREAGE UP The Department of Agriculture estimated recently that growers planted 15,890,000 acres of cotton this year. This is an increase of 28 per cent over last year’s plantings. This is interesting because cotton planters are operating under a different regulation this year. The new program permits producers to increase planting allotments 40 percent if they are will ing to take lower price supports. Evidently many growers are taking advantage of this new sys tem. . The acreage planted this year is less than the national average, and while the Department of Agriculture will not predict the size of the crop, it would amount to about 12,700,000 bales if yields equal the average of the last three years. This would still be considerably below the ten-year average yyield, in cotton, which is over 14,000,000 bales. Nt is estimated that domestic and foreign consumption will consune all of the cotton grown this year and perhaps some of the 8,00,- 000 bales in storage. Even though the cotton in storage might decrease in the next year, how ever, the storage of surplus crops is still a major problem for the government. BUTLER SHOULD RESIGN The chairman of the Democratic National Committee has caus/ and so much division and strife within the National part that only his resignation can give the party its maximum chance in 1960. Of course, the leftwingers in the party will not agree with this analysis, but it is an accurate one. Butler, and some of those who are working with him, believe that if the leftwingers drive the conservatives out o fthe party ,they can still win a presidential election. Already the state ments Butleh has made, about his own party’s leadership in Congress, and about the South and , Southwest, insure asplit in the part yand a pos sible walkout at the Democratic convention in Dos Angeles. For the good of the party, the only thing he can do is resign. i There is a strong suspicion in Washington, among some, that Butler is the greatest ally the Republicans have. If he is left in charge of the Democratic National Committee, and his tactics win out, he will split the party and bring about the election of a Republican in 1960. This may be the purpose of some o f those who are supporting him, although this would never be admitted. The National Committee has been carefully stacked over recent years to support Butler. Therefore, at a showdown scheduled for Sept ember, the National Committee may stick with the Indiana chairman. If it does, it will be the greatest boost for Republicans which has oc curred since 1956. If Butler is ousted, and the Democratic party remains unified, it has a bet ter than 50-50 chance to elect its candidate as President in 1960. NATIONAL IOITO iI A L The Forsyth County News A. S. C.

FARM SAFETY MAKES SENSE, FB DECLARES Farmers may save their own life by reflecting on some of the dangers of farm and home, Mrs. Willett Robinson, State Chairman of Georgia Farm Bureau Women declared today in urging all farm ers to help cut down on undue deaths. The Georgia Farm Bureau Wo men’s Committee is cooperating in th the national movement to re duce farmer deaths and injury. Mrs. Robinson is a farm wife of Screven County. ‘‘We urge all mem bers of the farm family to observe safety cautons”, she declared. I The Federation —an independent organization of farm families, has had many of it’s family members ' “crippled or killed” through acei , dents on the farm. Surveys indi cate the farm is one of the most dangerous of occupations, j Mrs. Robinson said statistics are dry—but they also show that near ly half (44 per cent) of the acci dent fatalities associated with mach : inery occur during May, June, July and August. More than two thirds of drownings occurs in the same period—with half of the deaths by firearms occuring in the fall. Children getting into poison, kerosene and the like can cause j deaths, if we adult sare careless, j Mrs. Robinson said. “Getting into moving farm machinery parts can I be deadly, and every summer num i erous farm deaths are caused be cause caution was not exercised”, she added. National Farm Safety Week is being observed this year Julyl9— 25. “We can reduce the 12,000 fatal accidents on the farm bv making every week farm safety week”, Mrs. Robinson emphasized. VETERANS URGED TO APPLV EARLY FOR FALL SCHOOLING Korea veterans planning to start school in the fall under the GI bill should apply early, reminds i Pete Wheeler, director of the State . Deoartment of Veterans Service. For one thing, said Wheeler, with nearly a half million veterans expected to be in training this fall, Veterans Administration offi ces will be swamped with paper work. That there is no lessening in ! the pprogram is shown by the fact jthat one in every seven men on college campuses this past 'was attending under the Korea GI bill. Wheeler said. Wheeler said veterans pplanning jto go to school this fall should remember these points: They must make their own ar rangements for admission to school before applyying to the VA. They can only obtan benefits if they attend a school which has been approved by the State Depart ment of Veterans Service, which is the approval agency for the fed eral government. Since only one change in course of study is permitted, they yshould choose carefulyy, and obtain guid ance counseling. Those with dependants must fur nish proof of marriage and of dependants. Field offices of the State Depart ment of Veterans Service will h" glad to assist in preparing appli cations, or furnishing information.
