“Oh, this is just too horrible for
you my dear,” Mrs. Perry ‘'went
on. “And to have it happen the
minute your young man was called
ARWEY. . o 0
Cilly's eyes widened. Doaln
turned his shrewd Zlance on Mrs.
Perry instantly.
“How did you know Jim was
going away?' Cilly asked her.
“Oh, we met him that evening,
Didn’t we, John?”
“When was this?” Dolan asked
abruptly.
“Just about midnight,” Mr.
Perry stated mildly. “Yes, it was
exactly midnight.”
Cilly’s heart bounded as a new
hope dawned,
“Just how and where diq you
meet the young man?’ Dolan
asked quickly.
Mr. Perry seemed a little sur
prised at tle sudden questioning.
“We met him two blozks furs
ther down; on St. Ann's aveanue,”
he related simply. “You see, we'd
stopped in here a little after 11,
wasn’t it, dear? Miss Pierce had
offered to look after our fish while
we were away. Mr,. Kerrigan and
another gentleman were here , .7
“How dd you know which was
Kerrigan?’ Dolan interrupted.
“Why, we had met him before.
One Sunday afternoon, we met
him with Miss Pierce down at
Jones Beach. We all came home
together. So of course when I
saw him in such a hurry Sunday
night, I was glad to offer him a
lift, We'd gotten the car, and had
a little bite down in the tavern,
and then just as we started off,
we saw Mr. Kerrigan, running
toward the subway. He seemed in
such a hurry , , .”
“What time was this?”’
“Exactly midnight. Remoamber,
Mary, you remarked on it?”
“Yes,” Mrs. Perry affirmed. “The
steeple clock was just striking
midnight. I teased Mr., Kerrigan
about being in such a hurry to
leave Priscilla, and he explained
that he had to make a hurried
trip out ‘west, He didn't want to
wait for trains, and there was a
friend of his—a private rpilot—
who was leaving Floyd Bennett
Field at 12:30 for Chicago. Mr.
Kerrigan wanted to catch him, but
of course, because he was in such
a hurry he couldn’t get a taxi. So
wé drove him down to the flying
field.”’
“You drove him to Floyd Ben
nett I'ield Sunday night?’ Dolan
repeated incredulously. He saw
his carefully prepared case crums=
bling before him.
Mr. and Mrs. Perry nodded
simultaneously. “And we got him
there in* 15 minutes,” Mr. Perry
said ‘with pride. “Kerrigan’s friend
had - just arrived himself. It was,
exactly quarter past 127 We
waited around until they took off,
and then we started for Fall
River”
Cilly could have wert for joy.
Jim bLad been down at Floyd
Bennett Field at quarter past ‘2,
Amy was killed at 12:20.
There was a lump in her throat
as she grabbed Mrs. Perry's hands
in both of hers. “Thank you soO
much forstelling us that,” she ex
claimed. Then, trying to be casual
in her explanation, she added:
“You know, everybody is under
suspicion in a case like this until
an alibi is established.”
Mrs. Perry nodded smilingly.
She did not understand why Mr.
Kerrigan, Priscilla’s special young
man, needed an alibi. But she did
not say so.
“Well, we'd hetter take the gold
fish and run along,” Mr. Perry
suggested. “If there’s any way we
can help, sergeant, we'll be right
next door . . . ."
As the door closed behind the
Perrys, Cilly turned to Sergeant
Dolan. She could not hide the
gleam of satisfaction which lighted
ur her eyes, ;
“Well, sergeant, do you still
want to hold me as an accessory?”
Dolan slumped into a chair
wearily.
«f guess not. Their story rang
true enough . . . and we can al=-
ways check on it.” He looked up
at Cilly, smiled a little crookedly.
“Well, it begins td look as if there
might be some grounds for this
faith of yours in the young man.
. . Say, tell me the truth now,
will you?”
“Of course. I haven't lied to you
yet, but you.won't believe me.”
“Was tonight the first time you'd
heard from Kerr—or Kerrigan—
since Sunday?’
Cilly hesitated. Should she tell
him about the postcad? It didn’t
matter now, since Jim ‘was clear
ed.
“No. I received a posteard from
him on Monday, saying merely
that he'd been called suddenly to
Utah. I didn’'t hear another word
from him until he called just
now.”
“What did he say?”
Cilly smiled. “If you remember.
I didn’t give him an opportunity
to say very much. Only that he'd
just got in from Newark Airrort
and was on his way over here.”
Dolan looked at his watch.
“well, I've got to hustle and
check on some of these other an
gles you've heen harping on. it
he gets in touch with you asgain.
will you ask him to see me im
mediately -at headquarters? His
testimony is still mighty impor
tant.” 3
“rnl do that, sergeant.”
“Thanks. I hope we'll be work
ing together from now on, Miss
Pierce. Sorry ahout everything . .”
After Dolan left, Cilly made up
her mind as so what she was 80°
ing to do. There had been alto
gether ftoo many stones left un
turned in this house since Sunday
night.-

agree with every resolution they
are the popular vote of the farm
ers and he presented them in that
capacity:
1. The Secretary of Agriculture
should determine how many acres
of cotton should be planted in the
current year. In order to produce
the number of bales of cotton need
ed for home consumption, foreign
iconsumption and the necessary
carry-over to insure adequate sup
plies for our needs at al times. The
method of allocation to bhe writ
ten in the law.
. 2. This national quota of acre
age should then be divided accord

THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
| DIVIDE QUOTA
Tt is suggested also that the
lsta,te's quota of acres he divided
among . counties and individual
[farmerg on a *“percentage of cultis
'vated acre basis. For instance,
each farmer should be allowed to
plant, say thirty per cent of the
acres he had in cultivation in the
previous year (or ‘any ‘porticn
thereof) in the current vear te
cotton, this percentage of course
to be raised or lowered according
to the allotment of acres to the
state. Tnep to be classed as a €O«
L operator, each farmer should be
‘;‘equil'ed to plant no more than the
base or the number of aces ess
tablished for his farm to qualify
and be paid onily for the acres
planted.
3. Eligibility for government pay
'ments thep to depend on farmers‘
'planting of certain percentage of
crop acres to soil conserving crops,
or entering into - soil conserving
and building practices on this per
centage of crop acreage per farm.
It is suggested that this should
be a minimum of twanty per cent
of cultivated acres, in order that
a reduction cotton acreage will not
cause an increase in other cash
crops. -
4. Only one payment to be made.
This for complete co-operation;
namely, for entéring into soil
building practiceg on this certain
percentage of crop acres and for
the planting to not over the base
acres of cotton established for his
farm, both of which are required
to complete <compliance and no
payments or loans or assistance of
any kind should be provided for.
4nyone who doeg pot comply in
every detail. 3
5 PAY ON PLANTING ‘
5. The payment 10 be made
should be based wupon the plant
ings of cash or soii-depleting erops
{eotton in this case) at a certain
amount per acre for acres plant
ed. For instance, farmers would be
waid op the basis of planting in
stead of basis of not planting. AS
an example, and the following
figures are purely illustrative: sup=
pose Georgia were allotted 2,000,
000 acres of cotton to plant in
1938 and the adjustment payment
of 3¢ per pound, plus the consers
vation payment of approximately
2¢ per pound on normal producs
tion, making se¢ per pound, could
be paid to cooperating farmers in
'3B, and say the ncrmal production
for Georgia is 200 pounds, and say
thirty per cent of cultivated land
ig quota to be planted. This would
provide SIO.OO per acre for each
acre of cotton planted in Georgia
in 1938, provided there is no cot-
ton Dplanteqd by non-cooperators.
On this basis, then, a farmer with
one hundred acres in cultivation,
thirty acres in cotton would re
ceive SIO.OOO X 30 acres, or $300.00,
ag his government asistance for
pricé Pprotection. = 8
6. The above rate of payment
should be based upon 100 per cent
cooperation of all farmers pro-
ducing cotton; therefore, it should
be subject to change upward in
proportion to the decrease in co
operation. For instance, the rate of
government payment is SIO.OO per
acre provided all farmerg are in
the program.
If it should develop that only
fifty per cent of the farmers come
into the program, then the per acre
rate of payment to the coopera
tors should moye upward to a
maximum of twice the base rate
of §IO.OO per acre or $20.00 per
acre and his government check
then should be §20.00 X 30 acres,
or $300.00. :
: SLIJING RATE SCALE
. 1. This sliding srale rate of pay
ment will provide the element of
control over the years and seems
neeessary .to protect cooperating
farmers in case those outside the
program should widely expand acre
‘of cotton and drive prices down
ward on their own broduction, as
well as that portion of the crop
produced by cooperating farmers.
It iz manifestly worth more for
a farmer to cooperate in a pro
gram when only fifty per cent of
all farmers are coopevating than
whe none hundred per cent of all
farmers are cooperating, because
if all are in the program, they each
get their reward in the advance in
price. This system will throw non
cooperctors and speculative farm
ers into a fight aga=nst each other,
while the cooperating farmer is
operatiny under & safe program,
ag he has protection from the of
fects of over-planting by these
outsiders,
8. These suggestions ave btased
upon the thought that the two
main problems to be considered
in working out a long-time pro
gram, are: I—the equitable di
vision of conservation funds to the
states, to the sections and to the
individual farmers and: 2—a pro
gram that will permit cooperating
fapmers {c operate in safety and
not he subject to losses on account
of piroduction expansion of cash or
soil depleting crops, in this case
(cotton) by those not cooperating
fn the program.
9. We understand that this uni
ferm per anpy basiy for pavments
will be objected to by some of
these farmers. and sections which
have been producmg a high yield
per acre, op the bhasis that it
worth more for them to reducse
plantings on lands with high pro
duction per acre than it fe for
fajrmers for less production per
acre, but it ig our judgment that
the method of arriving at benef!
payments op a production per
acre hasis ig all wrong, because
it gives the hifln producer the
advantage in thr ways. He gets
a larger benefit payment and he
;getg a better price on a lar
production, due to the program,
“while in most cases, although he
{yeduces acres planted, he maintains

ALL LAND ALIKE
In our judgment every acre of
land in Georgia that is fit for
eotton production hag the same
Potential producing capacity and
if figured on a ' net profit basis,
this will hold true for all lands in
the cotton belt, provided the pro
ducers in the different gections are
operating with proper equipment
for their areas.
In making benefit payments to
cotton farmers, th. government
should not give additiona! advant.
age to those who alreauy have the
advantage and we believe thie only |
fair way to arrive at benefit pay
ments for cotton producers ig on
a uniform per acre basis for cot
ton that is actually planted.
With this sliding scale method
mentioned above, we believe that
within a period of three years
farmers will adjust themselves to
|m'ol)or amount of cotton for them
to produce. They will receive the
henefit payments outlined above ag
a price protection and be able te
produce and sell their cottonp at:
the market price on the acres|
allotted to them.
*Our farmerg do not want an
iron-clad, compulsory program,
whether or not it involves quotas
or taxes which require policemenl
and courts to enforce. They wrmt‘
a program which will frunish ade
quate protection for the coopera-:
tor and which will, at least, in
it.ime. force in their own interefltl
all growerg to cooperate, |
/ iO. The methog of allocation of
acres and money should by al
‘means hbe incorporated in the Act
itself and also as far as possible |
‘methods of administration should
be incorporated in the Act, such ag
the provision for the election of
community, state and county com
mittees. Nothing should be left to
“rules and regglations” that can
possibly be definitely set up in thol
Act itself.
' It nas been demonstrated defi
nitely and clearly during the last
four years’' experience with a cot
ton program that no compulsory
‘[lena]ty law to control cotton pro
duction ecan withstand assaults of
the pressure groups, or a majority
of the farmerg if it should happen
that they should produce over the
quotas established. For thig rea
son, past programs have discrimi
nated againt the man who is will
ing and anxious to cooperate in
ithe right way for hig own protec
tion. For this reason, we beliove
it foolish to again pass laws that
cannot be enforced, and we sug
gest this plan a a method that
will provide protection and safety
for the cooperating farmer, while
those not willing to cooperate may
continue to do-as they please. The
consequences of their own acts will
fall upon their headg only.
Also thig provides an “American
Way” method ang it will afford
an’ oportunity for us to test the
good faith of those interestg who
have expresed a desire to produce
cotton for export trade irregpective
of prices.
11. In the preparation of this
legislation parity price or parity
income with industry for the farm
er on his entire production should
be guaranteeq i he cooperates in
the program, :
12. The percentage of cultivated
acres planted to tobacco under the
program approved should not be
over 7_per cent and the percentage
of cultivated acres planted to pea
nutg should not be over that per
ecentage alloweq for cotton in the
current year unless an increase I 8
