tho sentiment was very definitely
in favor of acrcago control This
particular meeting was almost entirely
devoted to tho discussion of
tho cotton program but Uo coming
bill would apply not only to cotton
but to wheat and othor crops as
tho bill will bo a gonoral farmblli
und will not bo a temporary oiv
emergency bill but ono designed to
becoino a part of our pormanent
legal sotup
The entlro Plains section has a
different problem from other sections
of the country in that this
entlro section Is now definitely an
irrigated section and becauso tho
irrigated farmor has certain fixed
charges and expenses which apply
whothor ho plants his land or
1 whother it stands out and slnco
i with irrigation he has a protentlal
j of a good deal moro cotton or
I whoat than tho dry farmer the
coming bill is going to hnvo a very
Important bearing on his operation
At this meeting it was vory ovl
dent that tho Senators from the
deep South aro not going to bo ac

telling us about It as thoy aro now
