It is hereby declared to be the pol-
icy of congress to promote the order-
ly marketing of cotton in interstate
and foreign commerce: to enable pro-
ducers of such commodity to stabilize
their markets against undue and ex-
cessive fluctuations and to preserve
advantageous markets for such com-
modity. and to prevent unfair com-
petition and practices in putting cot-
ton into the channels of interstate
and foreign commerce and to more

consumption of cotton
proclaimed from time to time by the
secretary of agriculture. The average
central market price determined and
proclaimed shall be the base for de-
termining the rate of the tax until a
different average central market price
for lint cotton is determined and pro-
claimed by the secretary of agricul-
ture.

The detail of making up the volum-

attested by the request of the state
relative to the cotton reduction pro-
gram for the cotton year 1934-35 will
be of interest to every cotton grower
in the county. We trust that it will
be closely read and kept for ref-
erence. The more people we can get
to make a study of the law regard-
ing this program, the more easily it
will be to administer upon the part
of farmers and committeemen ev-
erywhere. You will want to know
definitely who will lie entitled to gin-
ning certificates. how much cotton
each person can gin without coming
under the tax, what cotton will be
exempt, etc. j

and wording as it came to our desk

tion in Washington.

every customer who does not now have an elec-
tric range a splendid opportunity to operate
one for only a few cents a day and gives to
those who now have ranges a chance to make
greater use of Electric Cookery at lower cost
than ever A majority of range customers re-
ceive an immediate reduction in the cost of
their present use through the new rate. Every
range customer can make wider use of electric
service for lighting, refrigeration, water heating
and smaller appliances at the lowest average
cost ever enjoyed. In fact, the new rate opens
the way to immediate realization of the conven-
