Shall Bankhead
Act Continue in
The Year
(By J. R. McDaniel, Co.
In view of the fact that all far
mers in the county will be
upon in December to
their views as to whether they
•sire th t the Bankhead Act
continued next year, I am
below several points which I
lieve will be of interest in
nection wi'h the cotton
at present.
1. Irrespective of the
of cotton farmers of the
Act, the 1935 cotton
program, with its rental and
ity payments to voluntary
-ators will continue. This an
nouncemcot has been made
Secretary of Agriculture.
2. It is the estimate of t h
Agricultural Adjustment Admini
stration that under th
cotton adjustment f rogram,
without the Bankhead Act
year, total production will bt
several million bales more
total production would be if t h
Bankhead Act were in effect.
3. The total allotment
the Bankhead Act for 1935- 36,
♦ he event it is made effective,
not fixed in the Act hut will be de
termine^ by the Secretary o
Agriculture after investigation
the available supply and probabh
market requirements.
4. In the event the
Act is made effective for 1935 36
and afier the allotment is
the Secretary of Agriculture
determining the manner of allot
ment to individual farmers,
provide that the farmers w h
have reduced their cotton acreag
voluntarily shad not be
in favor of those farmers
have net done so.
5. Those having a right to
press them elves upon the ques
tion a? to whether the
Act shall be effective for the 1935
36 season are defined in the
as those persons “who have
legal or equitable right as
tenant, share cropper, or other
wise to produce cotton on any cot
ton farm, or part thereof, in
United Sta*es" for the crop
1935 36.

The Distressed and Needy
Urges Cotton
Farmers to Beat
(GPS)-Governor Eugene Tal-
whose opposition to t h e
cotton control act dates
its inception in congress, has
out with the expressed hope
when the farmers of t h e
are given an opport unity to
on continuation of the plan
“they will turn out and vote
against it, rain or shine.”
“The real farmers of the squth
are against the Bankhead bill, or
anything like it,’’ he said.
The governor said he spent the
day recently on his farm in Mon¬
roe county.
“Two negro families on the
place this year raised a total of
13 bales of cotton,” he said.
“The Bankhead bill limited the
production of this place to a little
over eight bales, or 4,300 pounds
of lint cotton. So, you see what
were up against in settling for
the year.
“1 bought half of the cotton of
the two families to settle with
them and we bad to figure $84 tax
on the five bales of cotton that
were made over the Bahkhead
allowance
“Even with this terrible tax,
both of the negroes cleared a
little money on their half of t h e
crop and I, after considering taxes
fertilizer, p'ow toe's, etc., did not
clear anything.
• I have 400 acres in this tract,
and have had a lot of tenants t
come to see me, wanling to
and help me farm this land,
want to give them jobs and
home, but how can I do it if
am restricted to less cotton
will pay the expences of the place’
The governor said he
his problem “is the problem o
millions of others in the frouth.”

IN MEMORY
Ollie Hartline was horn in Dade
County, January ?7, 1915, died
October 3, 1934.
Between these dates was Jived
a life of rare beauty, excellence
and pu'.itv, which renders ap
propriate and. fittingly, the Bibi
cal phrase whicn I have used as
captain for this inadequate trib .
ute to one whom the writer knew)
and loved. w
His life is so fittingly dJcribed
by the Psalmist David in the 15th

in every relationshi- of
all with whom he came in c
As near and dear friends who are
saddened by his jjoing away.
However these fritnds rejoiced
and are blessed to remember such
a beautiful life and character as
was Ollie.
His short life—so sh rt indeed,
will be missed; first by his bright
cheerful smile, his kind words for
all. Then his service rendered to
the poor, the widow, orphan, big,
little, old and young and last but
not least, the service he would
render toman. His life is again
summed up, in the 25th chapter
of Matthew, beginning at^ie 31-
st verse through the 40th.
We cannot understand why he
was called so early ir. life hut the
r Heavenly Father knows best.
Not now, but in the coming
years, it may be in the better
land,we’l> read the meaning of
our tears, and there, sometime,
we’ll understand. We’ll catch

Why songs have ceased
