Clarke County Cotton
Reduction Checks
Not Here Yet.
The largest grain crop Clarke
county has ever had wlil be plant
ed in October by farmers of this
county, County Agent L. S. Wat
son announced Monday, following
a survey of the farms here.
The wheat crop will especially
be increased, Mr. Watson said.
Increase in the number of acres
devoted to grain crops this year are
due this fall to the increase in the
price of grains and the cotton re
duction program, he commented.
Clarke county's first real grain
crop was planted in 1930, and the
size of the crop has been enlarged
every year. Mr. Watson will make
a survey of the planted crop in
November, and announce figures
on fm total acres in grain.
The back-to-the-farm movement
has increased the number of
Clarke county farmers' somewhat,
recently. Mr. Watson said that
most of Clarke's new farmers
were either farmers who had gone
to city jobs a few years ago and
were returning, or their sons who
had lost jobs In the towns and
were returning to operate farms.
In addition to the decrease in
the cotton crop here, truck farm
ers and poultry farmers are not as
numerous this year as they were
last year. Farmers are beginning
to raise more hogs and grain.
While a few government checks
are arriving in Oglethorpe, Madi
son, Barrow, and other Georgia
counties for the cotton reduction
program_ Clarke county farmers
have not yet received their money.
County Agent Waston i 8 expecting
the checks any day.

Out Attack on Problem
At White House.
TO STABILIZE PRICES
Bankers Are. Told That
- Government’s Billions
Ready for Help.
By RICHARD TURNER
Associated Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON—(#)—A new idea
Monday stimulated President
Roosevelt's campaign to provide
needed crediy for NRA Industries
and raise the farmer's income to
the price level of ‘the things he
must buy.
It was eveolved at a White House
Conference attended by Mr. Roose
velt’'s financial advisors, but none
would disclose the elements of ‘the
Iplans agreed upon. Seecretaries
Woodin, Wallace and Attorney
General Cummings headed the
}group that gatbeved in the _,pre'si
dent’s study Sunday night, ex
changed notes, and then . worked
‘out the new line of attack.
~ With the increase in+ farm
prices lagging still behind the cost
of commodities the farmer must
have, it wag indicated that methods
of releasing funds in the closed
state and national banks of" rural
communities fuqnished an i}‘npi)r-k

Old Problem
Behind this lay the weéek-old
problem of inducing the banks to
extend loans to commercial énter
prises operating under the Blue
Eagle, The whole subject was re
viewed in detail with the result
that the administration, in qggct.
‘Monday told the bankerg the Bov
ernment’s billions were ready to
‘help banks give the industries of
'thelr comunities (he credit needed
to increase employment.
l It was learned authoritatively
the late night gathering discussed
at length the coordination of four
prime federal agencies into ‘a sy
stematic plan intended to release
deposits tied up in closed banks
and place bankg already operating
upon a sound basis.
Under this scheme the RFC
would rehabilitate a bank’s capital
strucure by purchasing new issues
of preferred stock; the farm credit
and home loan administrations
would replace slow real estate mor
gage assets with their rveadily
saleable bonds, and the deposit
guaranty corporation would guar
antee the funds of new depositors
Meanwhile, the public works ad
ministration, promising renewed
pressure for greater cash expendi-;
tures, announced it had approved
projects which would provide 1,-§
300,000 man weeks of quick-direct
employment. It said $1,600.000,000j
of its $3,300,000,000 had been allot-l
ed though only $59,139,766 has
been drawn from the treasury for‘
real expenditure. ? :

to help industry take on additional
