COTTON ACRES
REDUCED 2100

Battioa Prafram.
The county agent and his office
help have been the busiest group of
people in the county for the past
week. Fanners were asked to reduce
their cotton planting for 1934 40
percent less than the average that
they have planted for the five years.
Most farm re agreed to this
signed the cotton reduction papers
several weeks ago. When the f : g-
urcs from the cotton papers were
sent to the State Committee it de
veloped that the reported acreage
planted for the past five years
3,900 acres more than was actually
planted in the county. The commit
tee allowed 1,000 acres for n
possible error, and advised the local
committee to trim 2100 acre*
the papers of this county.
This redaction has been made as
fairly aa possible, and the papers
are now being typed and will soon
be sent to Washington. Most farm
ers reduced their cotton acreage for
the second time with a smile, but
there were a few who could not sec
the real motive of the campaign.
These fellows refused to do their
bit. As a whole the farmers of Bald
win county have co-operated hearti
ly, for which the county agent and
all the local cotton committees
very grateful.
The cotton rentals for Baldwin
county will amount $29,503 00 a
the parity payments will amount
$8,950.00, or a total payment
$38,453.00 will be paid th‘e farmer?
of th s lounty for curtailing the
1934 cotton crop.

Dr. W. B. Swanton, archaeologist
of the Smithsonian Institute, who is
directing the excavation of the In
dian mounds in Macon came to MU-

down the Oconee river in search of
Rock Landing and the place where
DeSoto crossed the (Sconce river,
and although the search was fruit-
leas, an aligator measuring 9 feet
and 10 inches was killed.
Dr. Swanton was accompanied by
r. W. B. Childs, who ia a motor
boat enthusiast. Dr. A. E. Kelly, also
of the 9mithsomsn Institute, Dr.
Leon Smith, of the Wesleyan faculty
