1934*35 Cotton Acreage Reduction
Contracts
We wish to call attention to the
cotton producers of Jackson county
that have not already signed neces
sary forms to keep their 1934-35
Cotton Acreage Reduction Contract
in force for the year 1935 to do so
at very earliest convenient date at
county office. Unless contract is
kept in force for year 1935 it auto
matically cancels contract for year
1934, and all rental payments al
ready paid will be due to be repaid
to the U. S. Secretary of Agricul
ture.
We wish to call attention to cot
ton producers to the fact that each
contract will have to be handled
aeparate for the year 1935. That is,
■wd cannot combine two 1934 con
tracts into one for the year 1935.
According to information from
Washington office, it will be advis
able for producers to rent 35% of
their base acreage, because by rent
ing less will not increase Tax-Ex
emption Certificates. According to
regulations, no cotton producer who
is not co-operating with the Cotton
Control Program in the year 1935
•will be allowed to borrow any money
on cotton produced in the year 1935.
Cotton Act Or “Bankhead Act”
According to information furnish
ed from Washington office, no cot
ton producer will receive more Tax-
Exemption Certificates for the year
1935 than 65% of the base produc
tion on farm. The only exception
to this is in case where the base pro
duction is two bales or less, and in
that case the producer will get Tax-
Exemption Certificates according to
average base production not to ex
ceed two bales.
Information from Washington also
is that the Tax-Exemption Certifi
cates issued in fall of 1935 will bring
one-half the market value of the cot
ton. According to regulations, a
farm will not be issued any Tax-
Exemption Certificates unless there
be some cotton planted on same the
year Tax-Exemption Certificates are
issued. It is also true that there
will not be more than 1 times the
production in year 1935 issued in
Tax-Exemption Certificates on any
farm. That is, for example: A farm
with a base production of 10,000
pounds will likely receive approxi
mately 6500 pounds in Tax-Exemp
tion Certificates, but if there was
only sufficient amount of acreage
planted in cotton to make 2,000
pounds of lint cotton, then the maxi
mum certificates for 1935 would on
ly be 3,000 ppunds instead of 6500
pounds. ,
I am sure you have noticed num
erous articles in the daily and other
papers especially of recent date in
regard to the processing tax on cot
ton. It seems that some of the in
dustrial interests and others are
waging a fight trying to get the Ad
ministration to do away with the pro
cessing tax on cotton, and making
claims that due to the processing
tax cotton industry is quite handi
capped.
Wc wish to urge all cotton pro
ducers to carefully consider any and
all articles they may read or hear
verbally in regard to the processing
tax before they express their opinion
in any way on same. It is a fact
that the U. S. Department of Agri
culture and Agricultural Adjustment
Administration are endeavoring to
assist the cotton producers to re
ceive more income from the cotton
they produce than was the case be
fore the program of cotton produc
tion control started.
Cotton producers may rest assur
ed that the administration is doing
all in its power for the interest of
the cotton producer. Cotton pro
ducers should feel thankful for the
Administration in assisting them in
looking after their interests, and
especially so when the cotton pro
ducers themselves are very poorly
organized and practically helpless
without the Administration’s assist
ance. As has been expressed by
some cotton producers and others in
terested in the welfare of cotton
producers, if the processing tax will
cause a very, very slight increase in
price of cotton products, is reducing
the consumption of cotton products
to such an extent as to handicap the
cotton industry, then it seems it
would be wise, if necessary, to do
away with the cottoq processing tax,
to also take off any and all import
duties now charged on manufactur
ed cotton products coming into the
United States. It is reasonable to
think- that if taking off the process
ing tax will increase the consump
tion, if the import duties are taken
off of manufactured cotton products,
that would also cause an increased
consumption of cotton products.
In other words, it seems that if cot
ton producers are not due to have a
protection for their investment and
labor ns to an assurance of price of
the products they produce, then it
would not be wise to protect the in
vestment and labor of cotton manu
facturing interests of the United
States with import duties on cotton
manufactured products coming into
the United States. The cotton pro
ducers, as well as others in the Unit
ed States, have been paying for the
protection on the cotton manufact
uring interests of the United States
in the form of import duties on
manufactured cotton products for
years and years.
It seems only fair if we protect
investments .•’.nd labor of the manu
facturing intcrents, the producers of
the raw products should likewise be
protected.
Yours for service,
W. Hill Hosch, County Agt.

SALMON FOR CHILDREN
HERE’S a letter from a mother
who had the courage to do
some pioneering in feeding
her child.
“I’ve read very little,” she
wrote, “on the use of salmon for
little folks, but I suppose quite a
bit of research has been done
along that line. My little son,
now over two years of age. the
picture of health, has had salmon
since shortly before he was two
years old. Eggs could not be
used in his diet because they did
not agree with him, but some pro
tein and minerals he must have,
so I started first with the broth
from the can of salmon, then
added the salmon later.
“Coaxing children to eat spinach
seems to be a universal problem.
If the spinach is mixed with an
equal amount of salmon and a
little broth added, it all disap
pears like magic.”
She Was Right
That this mother was right in
concluding that her boy would get
good protein from the salmon is
proved by the following table of
comparative food values:
Percent of Protein
Pink Salmon 21.40
Coho Salmon 21.08
Sockeye Salmon 20.80
Chinook Salmon 17.67
Sirloin Steak 16.30
Sugar Cured Ham 14.20
Macaroni 13.40
Eggs 13.10
Spring Chicken 12.00
Rice 8.00
Baked Beans (canned) 6.90
Potatoes LBO
Salmon also has a high mineral
content according to Henry C.
Sherman, Ph.D„ Sc.D., in his book
“Chemistry of Food and Nutri
tion,” so the mother was right in
this again. We would not recom
mend, however, feeding salmon or
any other food to very young chil
dren without first consulting your
doctor. There is nothing more
important than your children’s
diet, and you should check on it
in every way you can.
Salmon for Grown-Ups
There never has been any
doubt, however, that salmon is a
good food for grown-ups. So
here are some recipes for its use
which you can serve to them, and
to the children, too, if the doctor
says so.
Sauted Salmon with Deviled
Egg Sauce: Remove the salmon
steaks very carefully from four
314-ounce cans, and lay in a hot
skillet with a little bptter. Sautd
gently on both sides, turning with
a wide spatula to avoid breaking.
Serve with this sauce: Melt one
tablespoon butter, add one table
spoon flour and stir smooth. Add
three-fourths cup hot water
and cook until thick, stir
ring all the time. Add one table
spoon lemon juice, one-fourth tea
spoon mustard, salt, pepper and
paprika. Mash the yolk of one
hard-cooked egg and stir into the
sauce. Add finely-chopped egg
whites. This serves four. One
can of salmon steak serves one.
A Salad and a Soup
Metropolitan Salmon Salad:
Chill the contents of a 7-ounce
THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1935.
can of salmon for salad In the
can, open and transfer to a small
bowl lined with lettuce, being
careful not to break up the meat.
Mix one-fourth cup mayonnaise
with one tablespoon thick sweet
or sour cream, one teaspoon vine
gar, one tablespoon chopped cel
ery, one tablespoon chopped pimi
ento, one teaspoon capers and one
teaspoon India relish or chopped
sweet pickle, and spread over the
salmon. Serves two to three.
Salmon and Tomato Bisque:
Turn the fish and liquor from a
1-pound can of salmon into a stew
pan and add the contents of a
15-ounce can tomatoes, one bay
leaf, one sliced onion, one-fourth
teaspoon peppercorns and one cup
water, and stew gently for about
fifteen minutes. Press through a
coarse sieve. Reheat and add a
pinch of soda, and pour slowly
into a white sauce made of four
tablespoons butter, four table
spoons flour and two and one-half
cups milk. Season to taste with
salt and pepper. Serves slx,
A Succulent SoufflS
Salmon Soufflt: Turn the
strained cereal from a 10%-ounce
can into a double boiler and heat,
then add the flaked salmon from
a 1-pound can and three table
spoons butter. Add the well
beaten yolks of three eggs, and
salt to taste. Fold in the stiffly
beaten egg whites, and pour into
a buttered baking dish. Bake in
a moderate oven—3so degrees—
for from thirty to thirty-five
minutes. Serve at once. Serve*
