Farm Agent Closes Cotton
Contracts and Plans for Seed Loan
OVer five hundred and fifty
contracts were signed by Baldwin
county farmers to reduce cotton
acreage before the time limit to
sign contracts was reached on last
Wednesday.
The signature of the farmer on
the new cotton reduction contracts
represents a curtailment of over
three thousand acres in cotton pro
duction in this county. The reduc
tion is based on a five year average.
In the contract the government
agrees to pay a specified sum for
lint cotton taken from production.
Farm Agent Langley has turned
his attention to the new seed loan
contracts which are expected to ar
rive at an early date. Just how
much money will be loaned Baldwin
farmers has not been made public
but Agent Langley said the sum
would be sufficient to meet all
needs, he believed. No loan exceed
ing four hundred dollars will be
made.
Agent Langley said be would
notify farmers immediately when
details and the seed loan contracts
were received. He said the majority
of the farmers in the county
proved the Bankhead bill to enforce
cotton reduction and that they sub
scribed to the plan.
The cotton program in the county
this year has taken on new interest
and it is expected that with a smal
ler acreage that interest will be con.
centrated on an imptoved type of
cotton. The farmers of the Browns
Crossing Section are planting a
typ. v-d this experiment will
watched with inteiv.... The new
ton is a longer staple and an e*riy
fruiter.

Taaaf Ptafle to Celep.
Two students matriculated at G.
S. C. W. Monday morning and other
enrollments mere expected before
the week had ended under the new
federal aid project wfe’ch has made
available to colleges a special fund
to assist students to procure college

ter which begins in March would
consume the quota of the college.
Just what type of employment
would be given the students had not
been completely Worked out, but
such jobs as waiting on the tables,
office work and other part time
jobs would be provided in order
that the students could earn the
funds provided by the government.
