Baldwin to Reduce
Cotton 3,700 Acres
wHA t to do with this land.
W . L R LANGLEY. COUNTY
AGENT
I of Baldwin County^vS
as , this week, and for the next
weeks to reduce their cotton
^ a total of about 3,700
This will be a 40 percent re-
n of their five year plantings
, inclusive). The 1933 plant-
. w ii] not be considered in figur-
• ntr t | 1 ,. averages except where a
farmer has planted cotton the one
Mv office has been supplied with
contract blanks for the campaign.
V County Committee met Monday
niJ named Community Committees
/far a? possible. These committees
n , j. r inp instructed this week rc-
,tivt» to filling out contracts and
ot h t . r matters relative to the carr-
_ a ijrn. During the latter part of this
wc k and the first part of next week
.us will be held in every school
district in the county. At these meet-
the contract 'for cotton acre-
. reduction ■will be discussed with
farm^s. The time of these -meetings
bj b*- advertised elsewhere.
Farmers Will Co-operate
There is hardly a farmer in Bald-
rin county who will refuse to co
operate ;
i the cotton reduction cam
paign, for two reasons.
Baldwin county farmers
realize that by co-operating they are
helping to reduce the surplus cotton
hand which means higher
prices and better time* on the farms.
Second; Each co-operator will
tare a chance to rent some acreage
o the government for cash. This
pafment will range from IBM to
f 18.00 per acre. Hie araoent depend-
ng on the productivity of the sofl.
Wlut t* De With BeateJ Laud
land rented from the farmer by
the government may be planted by
the fanner, to (flood and feed erepe,
■oil improvement crop*, er, may be
left idle, or fallowed ao the farmer
choose ■. None of the crepe pleated
on this land can be sold, but may
be used for tbe farm and borne eup-
piy.
ThU program will givo tbe farmer
the best opportunity to grow a sap-
pIf of flood and feed crepe he>e
ever had. Every farmer should start
cov to planning a large well rotated
all year garden for home oee. Grow
enough produce on every farm for
»ummer use and fill every pantry
for winter should be the aim.
Then there are the many farmer*
in the county who fail to
supply if corn, hay and other feed
crops as well as pork and milk fol
omi- use. These farmers should fill
i these weak places on their farms
this year. The man who buys corn,
hay, meat lard, milk and butter or
canned goods ia not a farmer. He is
only a man who lives in the rural
district. There never has been any
excuse for the farmer not having
a self-supporting fartn, but this year
the farmer who foil* to make hie
farm self-supporting will 'be more
foolish than ever.
Baldwin, as well as other
ties, should have more acreage de
voted to soil improvement crops.
On good legufme crop grown
fertiliser will double the following
crops. This would be an excellent
way to reduce the fertiliser bill for
1935.
From now to March 15th i* the
‘ ason to sow Lcspcdeza. Try some
acreage to this crop, either for grai-
estimated, according to Harry _
Bream, acting extension director of
too University Astern of Georgia,
who is in charge of adjustment
tivitiea n iths state, that Georgia
farmers will receive $10,700,000 in
rental and benefit payments if
per cent reduction is achieved.
The plan is a voluntary one. Cot
ton producers are not forced to take ’ dred
part in it The Agricultural Adjust-)
ment Administration is offering at
plan which makes it possible for the
cotton growers of the county to
bring production and supply Into line
with effective demand, thus work
ing toward n fair exchange or parity
price for their cotton. But the in
dividual growers witl have to take
part in the program in order to make
it effective.
Rental payments, and adjustment
payments if needed to insure parity
price on the domestically consumed
po-s : ble for the cotton farmer to
join the national movement for stab
ilization of h : s industry without loss
of immediate cash income.
Those who do not take part
program will receive none of the
rental payments, and none of the
guarantees of parity price for the
domestically consumed portion of
their crop. The domestically con
sumed share of the individual farm-
crop or “ Penn allotment” will
be 40 percent of the average annual
cotton production on the
the base period years, 1928 through
1982.

What DO YOU THINK
IT COSTS
TO HAVE INSTANT
HOT WATER ALWAYS?
F IRST of all, what is it worth to you to have all
the hot water you need for cleaning, dishwash
ing, bathing, shaving and the laundry . . . hot
water gushing forth any instant at the tap’s turn?
The modern Self-Action Gas Water Heater can be
installed in a few hours, with a few simple ad
justments. The tank is solidly insulated (like a
thermos bottle!) to economise on heat, A thermo
stat automatically contapls water temperature; re
quires no attertion whatever. As for the operat
ing cost—it depends on the number in the family,
size of the Link, and quantity of water used. In
actual practice it amounts to only a few cents
per day per person . . . less than you pay each
month for car fare, cigarettes, magazines or
candy I
Drop in and we’ll give you an accurate estimate
of installation and operating cost for your home.
You’ll always need lots of hot water. You’ll always
want it on tap. Settle the matter once and for
all time, today!
