depending on what the land ordinar-
ily yields, and an option at six cents
per pound on as many bales of Gov-
ernment owned cotton as the acre-
age retired would ordinarly yield.
The Government may sell this cot-
ton at some favorable time during
the year and pay the farmer the dif-
ference between selling price and op-
tion price.
The cash payments on this plan
are to be paid according to the fol-
lowing scale:
Land yielding 100 to 121 pounds
lint per acre, $6 per acre; land yield-
ing 125 to 149 pounds lint per acre,
$7 per acre; land yielding 150 to 174
pounds per acre, $8 per acre; land
yielding 175 to 224 pound lint per
acre, $10 per acre; land yielding 225
to 274 pounds lint per acre, $11 per
acre; land yielding 275 lbs. and over
lint per acre, $12 per acre.
Example of how Plan No. 1 would
apply:
A man has 100 acres planted to
cotton. He retires 30 per cent of this,
or 30 acres. It is determined that
his land ordinarily yields one-quart-
er bal per aci’c (125 pounds lint).
He would be padi this summer $7
per acre for the 30 acres retired or
$210. He would also be given an op-
tion at six cents per pound on 7 1-2
bales (the amount 30 acres would or-
dinarily produce). If sold when and
if cotton goes to 10 cents per pound
he would be paid tht difference be-
tween what 7 1-2 bales brought at
10 cents and the six cents a pound
option price, a difference of 4 cents
per pound or $20 per bale. He would
receive from this $150. TTis total
payments from having co-operated on
Plan No. 1 would be in this case $360.
Plan No. 2
Farmers wanting all cash payments
and not desiring to take an option
on Government cotton are offered a
higher scale of cash rental payments
tViun o f 4i /*• i i
------ ~ V. i MUUCL tt»C All^L [ M it i t .
The cash payments on Plan 2 are
made according to this prouuction
table, yields to be determined on the
basis of what the land ordinarily
yields.
Land yielding 100 to 124 pounds
of lint per acre, $7 per acre; land
yielding 125 to 149 pounds of lint
per acre, $9 per acre; land yielding
150 to 174 pounds of lint per acre.
$11 per acre; land yielding 175 to
224 pounds of lint per acre, $14 per
acre; land yielding 225 to 274 pounds
of lint per acre, $17 per acre; land
yielding 275 pounds lint and over
per acre, $20 per acre.
Example Of how Plan No. 2 would
apply:
Taking the same case of a man who
retired 30 acres out of 100 acres
planted in cotton, and whose ordi-
nary yields are determined to be one-
quarter bale per acre, he would be
paid this summer $9 per acre for 30
acres or a total of $270, !

Mysterious Planes
Drone Over Berlin
And Drop Leaflets
Berlin, June 23.—Paul Loebe, So-
cialist leader and fox-mer Reichstag
president, was arrested Friday night.
The arrest followed the Nazi Gov-
ernment’s decree Thursday outlaw-
ing the Socialist party throughout
Germany and barring Socialist Depu-
ties fx’om the Reichstag and other
legislative bodies.
Loebe’s arrest occurred about the
time a sensation was causpd by an
“invasion” over Berlin ol a myste-
rious squadron of foreign-make air-
planes.
The planes appeared over Berlin
and dropped leaflets attacking the
Government of Chancellor Adolf Hit-
ler. The machines were of a type un‘
known in Germany. German officials
have no planes of their own.
Sevei’al sports planes ascended from
Templehof airport, outside Berlin, in
pursuit, but the “invaders” sped
away. Their superior speed permitted
them easily to outdistance the pur-
suit.
