mediate distribution of $48,-

a pound advance to cotton pro-
ducers who are to receive op-
tions on 2,400,000 bales of

acreage reduction recently,
and they will be required to
participate in the 19S4 cam-
paign.
After signing the agreement
and transferring his option to
the pool, the producer will re-
ceive $20 for each bale upon
which he is entitled to an op-
tion.
The pool will issue partici-
pation certificates to option
holders who will retain their
beneficial interest and upon
sale of the cotton will receive
their ratable share of any price
above 10 cents a pound after
deduction of expenses.
This will put into - circula-
tion throughout this section a
considerable amount of money.

COTTON BELT STATE BANK
“THE OLDEST BANK IN SHELBY COUNTY"
Washington, Nov. 20.—The
Administration is beginning to
get a bit peeved with some of
the farmers. Not so much
with the real farmers, perhaps,
as with farm “leaders” who
are opposing the Government’s
efforts to do something real
for agriculture and are foment-
ing ‘farmers strikes” and oth-
er uprisings against the Feder-
al program.
The feeling in Administra-
tion circles i3 that the relief
of farm conditions, through
the raising of farm prices and
the distribution of huge cash
sums to farmers as payment
for crop redaction, is the big-
gest thing that has been un-
dertaken since last March,
There is keen recognition of
the fact that until the farmer
Is made prosperous again, the
rest of the country will still
feel the depression. And it
makes some of the earnest
men, who have bean trying to
do everything possible to make
agricultural conditions better,
feel somewhat sore, to be ac-
cused of working for every In-
terest except that of the farm-
er.

Peek Explains Relief
More praise has reached
Washington for the work of
George N. Peek, Administra-
tor of the Agricultural Ad-
justment Act, than for that of
any other executive here, in-
cluding Genera! Johnson.
There is a rooted belief that
he, with the backing of Secre-
tary Wallace, is doing a good
job. Mr. Peek thinks so him-
self, and took the trouble the
other day to go into the whole
farm relief program and tell
what has actually been done.
He thinks that most of the op-
position, where it does not
arise from self-seeking motives
on the part of so-called "lead-
ers."’ i3 due to the fact that
the public does not quite un-
derstand the whole program.
In the matter of wheat, for
instance, more than 550,000
growers have signed up for a
reduction of their wheat acre-
age for 1934 and 1983, for
which they will receive 28
cents a bushel for the estimat-
ed amount of wheat they con-
tribute to the domestic mar-
ket, over and above the price
they actually receive for the
wheat. F \ Peek made the
point here that this is real
money, derived from the 30-
cent processing tax levied on
the mi!I> rs, and that distribu-
tion of tiiis money has already
begun. There will be above
$100,00' ,000 in all, of which
$70,000,000 will go out within
a very f w weeks, nearly $25,-
OOO.OOo into Kansas, almost
$15,000,000 into North Dakota
and so on through the wheat-
growing states.
“The faimers who are bene-
ficiaries of this plan are not
re sorting to violence to get jus-
tice,” said Mr. Peek.
The Corn-Hog Program
-The corn-hog program is to
work in the same way. Be-
fore New Year’s every corn
grower and hog feeder will
have had his chance to sign up
for similar cash benefits. Those
who eome in will be able to get
immediate cash loans on their
stored corn, as well as bonus
payments for reduction of pro-
duction next year and there-
after.
The emgency purchase of
200,000 sows and 6,200,000
pigs last Summer at a price
well above the market has al-
ready started new money
flowing in the corn-hog farm-
ers’ pockets, said Mr. Peek,
and the bonus plan now about
to be offered will distribute
more than $350,000,000 be-
fore February, 1935, to the
same ciass of farmers.
As soon as the wheat-grow-
ers’ checks begin to get into
circulation,—some of them
have already been made out—
Mr. Peek ' anticipates there
will be a rush of com-hog
men to get in on the new deal,
and that there will spread a
feeling of confidence that
what Washington is doing is
not merely talk.

Cotton and Tobacco
The cotton program has al-
ready shown important re-
sults in the South. This year’s
crop has been reduced from an
estimated 17,000,000 bales to
about 13,000,000. This has
kept the price of cotton from
collapsing, and in the mean-
time the bonus money earned
by cotton growers cooperating
hi the program has been dis-
tributed to the extent of $110,-
000.000 actnuTL handed out
by Uncle Sam. Moreover,
there will accrue to many cot-
ton growers a bonus of about
S4S.000.000 on cotton option-
