we give it, indirectly, to all whom

cotton farmers of West Texas and
of the nation will vote Friday in a
referendum promoted by the secre-
tary of agriculture.
James D Hamlin. West Texas
C hamber of Commerce hend, in the
"president's news letter” sent from
the Stamford headquarters office to
all directors of the organization, said
the acreage control feature is espe-
cially injurious to West Texas, ' and
that the proposed domestic allotment
plan by Congresman Marvin Jones
and J E Milkmaid, our Texas com-
missioner of agriculture, will result
in a far more beneficial measure for
our section I am, therefore, report-
ing this situation to our directors in
our 183 towns and asking that each
director initiate some action on this
Important matter.”
Hamlin presented four reasons why,
in his opinion, acreage control is
harmful to the West Texas territory:
"First, it will stagnate our (West
Texas) future agricultural develop-
ment, penalizing a section which has
added 8 000,000 acre • to cotton pro*
duet ion in 10 years while acreage in
the old South stood practically still.
Second, it takes cotton acres away
from us and gives them to other na-
tions. which are greatly increasing
their acreage as we decrease ours.
Third, it is losing for us our for-
eign market for cotton, our exports
last year having decreas d more than
30 per cent and we supplied only 40
pel cent of the world s cotton against
60 per cent a few years ago.
Fourth, it inerea ses unemploy merit

"We hope to show that the higher
baskets will equalize the shooting ca-
pabilities of the long and short men,"
Allen explained today a "With the
higher baskets all will be required to
shoot and the 6-foot-7 centers won't
be able to leap up and ‘dunk’ the
ball through the hoop.
"There are several centers in the
Big Six Conference who measure
around 6-foot-6 and over. I have a
6-foot-7 boy myself who can drop
the ball through the basket " Ed Al-
len also says rebounds from the high-
er goals will be longer and thus re-
lieve much of the congestion under
the baskets.
His other suggested rules change
calls for free throws in the same half
of the court where the violations oc-
cur. In the case of a missed free
throw the ball would Im1 in play in
the throwing team's offensive zone
in the defensive half it would be
dead, going back to the center jump.
