A statement was issued a few days
ago by Chairman Jones of the agri-
culture committee in the house, An
which he substantially agrees to the
plan recently given out by Mr. Mc-
Donald. state commissioner of agri-
culture. This plan proposes to sub-
sidize the cotton farmers on that
portion of their crop necessary for
domestic use, allowing them to take
their chances in the world market
on the balance. It is ver probable
the administraton has this plan un-
der serious consideration.
Under this plan, the farmers would
be at liberty to cultivate as much
or as little land , in cotton as they

“Now is tbs time to check up on
your soil, if you are interested in
planting peach trees, plum trees, end
pear trees tn the farm orchard.”
J. F. Roeborough, Extension Horti-
ton. The law was not enacted until
April 21, and the bill authorized the
secretary of agriculture to put it into
force by suitable regulations, and
this was not done until July 12th.
Consequently, the cotton crop was
practically all made before the law
became effective, and I am unable
to see wherejn it reduced the pro-
duetion of cotton or affected the
price.
It seems to be the general impres-
sion of the public that the acreage
reduction was under the Bankhead
law, when, as a matter' of fact, it
was under the Agricultural Adjust-
ment Act, which is entirely separ-
ate and distinct from the Bankhead
law. The drouth in the Soutmwest is
responsible, of course, for the major
portion of the reduced crop and in-
creased price.
Foreign Crop Increasng
As to foreign production of cotton,
the bureau of agricultural economics
has made a broad study and reached
the conclusion that no very great
increase in production abroad is ex-
pected in the near future. That is
doubtless true, but it is a fact that
can not be disputed that foreign
production of cotton has gradually in-
creased almost, continually for the
past 15 or 20 years, and for the pres-
ent year is expected to exceed the
production in the United States.
In 1920 our home production was
13,400,000 bales, while the foreign
production was only 6,225,000 bales.
In 1925, our home production was
16,123,000 Dales, while the foreign
production was 10,555,000 bales.
In 1930, our home production was
13,756,000 bales, while the foreign
production was 11,548,000 bales.
In 1933, our home production was
12,664,000 bales, while the foreign
production was 12.529,000 bales'
For the present year, the most re-
liable estimates show that the for-
eign production will exceed the home
production by possibly two or three
Columbus, Nov. 14.— Congressman
J. J. Mansfield Wednesday issued a
statement with refrence to the lawa
and departmental regulations affec-
ting the cotton situation. It follows:
I nave received many letters pro-
testing aganist the laws and regula-
tions for restricting cotton production.
The one complained of, the Bankhead
law. will end with the present Crop
xat unless extended by the Prest-
•dent for another year. If two-thirds
of the farmers favor its extension, the
President has that authority. '
As to the Agricultural Adjustment
Act, unless repealed by Congress, it is
to be effective for another year with-
out any action by the president and
many farmers have already signed
•contracts for limiting their acreage
for 1935. Congress, of course, has' the
authority to ammend, or repeal, either
or both of these laws.
Thinks Changes Needed.
In view of the fact that the pres-
* ident has been so overwhelmingly
indorsed in the recent election, it
receive the world market price just the greater will he the increase in

lous proposition than the average
person might suspect. Once we lose
our export trade, we might never
recover it. While we ordinarily ex-
port about 55 per cent of our total
cotton crop, the major portion of
those exports are produced in Texas,
as more than 90 per ent of our Tex-
as cotton goes abroad and less than
10 per cent goes into the domestic
trade.
If our foreign trade is to be prac-
tically eliminated, then our Texas
cotton must go to the mills in the
United States: These mills are lo-
be deprived of a very large propor-
tion of the cotton- that they have
heretofore been handling, they woulg
doubtless have to increase their rts

cated in the New England states and
in the Carolinas, and the cost of
transportation is far greater than jt
is to foreign countries. I am advis-
ed by the Interstate Commerce com-
mission thaf the rajl rates on cotton
from Houston and "Galveston to the
New England mills is 21.54 per 100
pounds or 27.70 per bale. The com-
bned rail and water rate to the New
England mills js an average of 52
1-2 cents a hundred, or 22.62 1-2
per bale.
To the Carolina mills, the all-rail
rate is 21.01 a hundred, or 25.05 per
bale. The United States shipping
board advises me that no joint rail
and water rates from Texas to the
Carolina mills has ever been filed
with that department, and that if
such should be done it would be nec-
essarily considerably more than the
all-rail rate.
Higher Than Export Rates
All these domestic rates are high-
er than the export rates. I do not
have the figures for the pi esent time,
but the shipping iboard informs me
that in 1933 the rates on cotton to
Liverpool and Manchester ranged
from 25 to 30 cents a hundred, and
figures for Havre and Antwerp and
for Bremen and Hamburg were about
the same, averaging perhaps slightly
less than 21.50 per bale. The rates
to the Orient on Texas cotton were
considerably lower than the rates to
our domestic market.
The cotton mills of Texas can take
care of only a very small proportion
of the Texas eqtton cgop, and from
the present outlook there will be
no increase in spindles in the Lone
Star State. From these figures, it
will be seen that it is to the advan
tage of the Texas cotton farmer for
his crop to be exported rather than
to be sent to the mills in the United

line will probably be the best solu-

The farmers generally, while vig-

tures of the Bankhead law, seem to
favor its operation for another year,

reason they favor the law is that

Texas Chief Sufferer.
Unless this, or a similar plan
should be adopted, we may. in a
few years under our tariff wars, be
compelled to limit our production to
home consumption.
In such case, Texas would be the
principal sufferer, being compelled
to reduce her acreage to such an
extent that it would probably not

some of the weeds that grow where

them to see if they have tiny, bead-

give definite warning not to plant

cause they are caused by tiny worms
which are too small to be seen with

"In the meantime, catalogues from
reliable nurseries in the vicinity make
interesting and worthwhile reading,

"Extension bulletin number B-73
has just been revised and gives
charts of varieties suitable for plant-
ing in various localities. Do not
make the mistake of trying to grow
fruits that are not adapted to your
locality." Mr. Rosborough warns.
"West Texas farmers will have to be
satisfied with grapes, cherry plums,
and in some of the sandy areas a few
apples may be added. ‘ in the upper
gulf coastal region such fruits as
grapes figs and plums and berries
are safer than peaches. For central
and East Texas orchards, peaches
should predominate, and plums,
grapes and berries will also thrive.”

Sweet Potato Storage Hints—Some
pdtato growers lost from 25 to 10
per cent of their crop in attempting
farm storage. Some precautions that
everyone storing potatoes should take
are:
1. Do not dig potatoes for storage
until they are thoroughly mature.
2. Do not put cut, bruised, or dis-
eased spotted potatoes In storage
houses. The cows and hogs can ut-
14e damaged potatoes to advantage.
3. Disinfect the old storage house
with formaldehyde, 1 pint to 15 gal-
lons of water.
4. Provide ample ventilation dur-
ing the curing period. During the
first two weeks of curing, a temper-
ature of about 80 degrees F. is sat-
isfactory. Hang a thermometer in
the curing house and if necessary
use a stove with small amount of
heat to keep the proper temperature.
Store pumpkins, kershaws. . and
winter squash in about the same way
that Irish potatoes from the fall crop
are stored; a temperature around 60
to 70 degrees F. aviods excessive
moisture.
Turnips from the fall crop can al«o
be stored in a cellar by packing them
away in cottonseed, or saw dust mix-
ed with shavings, if there is sutrtelent
ventilation in the mass to prevent
heating. First place a layer of cot-
tonseed 6 to ,8 inches in thickness;
and at the center make a pyramid of'
poles cone shape, so as to have an
Opening at least 1 foot in diameter
at the base and tapering around the
poles and cover with hay,then cotton
seed. Storage of this type can be
done in Central and North Texas.
It is not practical in Southwest' Tex-
as because of extreme humidity
throughout . fall and winter months
Tills type of storage Is- not desizne 1
for outdoor. storage, but inside of an
