Double-Barreled Defense...
* The machine of peace at top, a combine grain harvester, bears strik
ing resemblance to the machine of war immediately below, an anti
aircraft gun manned by two of Uncle Sam’s artillerymen. America de
pends upon both for national defense. Modern farming methods, along
with the AAA farm program, have enabled farmers to build up an
Ever-Normal Granary supply of food sufficient for any emergency.

Cotton Growers
Offered Cloth To
Reduce Acreage
GROWERS WILL BE OFFERED
$25,000,000 IN COTTON GOODS
TO REDUCE COTTON CROP
MILLION BALES
Washington, D. C. —The Agricul
ture Department offered cotton
growers $25,000,000 worth of cot
ton goods free Monday if they would
reduce 1941 plantings sufficiently
to cut a million bales off the gov
ernment’s previously announced pro
duction of 12,000,000 bales.
The offer was made, Secretary
Wickard said, because the war had
virtually closed export markets, and
action was needed to prevent fur
ther accumulation of surpluses under
Government loans. Loan stocks
now total about 12,000,000 bales.
Under the offer, each cotton
farmer agreeing to a further re
duction in his acreage would re
ceive Government stamps which
could be used for purchase of cot
ton goods at regular retail stores.
The stamps would be xedeemed by
the Agriculture Department.
Farmers would receive stamps at
the rate of 10 cents for each pound
of cotton they normally would have
produced on the unplanted portion
of their acreage allotment. The
maximum amount of stamps would
be $25 for sharecroppers and ten
ants and SSO for owner-operators
of more than one farm or of a farm
operated by more than one tenant.
Stamps would be divided among
owners and tenants on the same ba
sis they divide the crop.
For example, a farmer with a
10-acre allotment would receive $25
worth of stamps if he planted only
9 acres, assuming that his normal
yield was 250 pounds per acre.
Wickard emphasized that the of
fer supplemented other phases of
the cotton control program under
which farmers receive soil conserva
tion and parity payments for plant
ing within their acreage allotment*.
