ATLANTA, April 28— Southern farmers have taken steps to meet the threat of Russian competition in the world cotton markets. Economy of production, improved uality of staple and more home-grown ?eed and f are three of the w | ons being used as the result of cal paigns formed early this year in sev- eral States. Authorities now predict that the 1931 cotton crop will be produced at less || cost per pound than any crop since the World War. J. C. Holton, commission- er of agriculture in Mississippi, points |'out that cheaper cotton may be pro- duced by the use of added machine power, by soil fertility, artificial or nat- ural, and by general economy. Russian Quality Gains. “The Russian government,” Holton sald, “has employed experts to super- vice 'the production of cotton; they have supplied the most- modern ‘machinery for cultivating the crop: they have sent to America and probably other coun- tries for the best seed available, and they are producing a uniformly’ high quality of cotton which has a staple &l‘lp!‘rlor to the bulk of American sta- ple. Cotton_experts at the South Caro- lina College of Agriculture say that cotton contests conducted over a pe- riod of five years already have brought | about improvements, both as to lower 1 costs and better staple. In Mississippi, which along with Arkansas and Louisiana has two dis- tinct types of cotton farming. an effort has been made to encourage the growth of better cotton through organizations called “One-Variety Cotton Communi- ties.” Here all farmers in a given area plant only one variety of cotton. Sev- eral farmers of the community furnish | seed for all others. Home Feed is Program. Coupled with these projects is a wave of enthusiasm for production of food and feed crops at home. One evidence of this enthusiasm is the growth of the dairy industry in practically every State. More Winter vetch, oats, rye and wheat were planted last |/ Fall and Winter than in any recent | ye Reports indicate a larger corn acreage in most States. Home gardens and canning projects have become a necessary part of every farm program. ‘The trend is strong toward the plant- ing of more. than one cash crop. ““We must. produce better cotton than Russia does, at a lower cost than Rus- sia does,” is fast becoming the slogan |1 of the cotton belt. | DEFUNCT BANK HEADS IN ARKANSAS INDICTED |{Five Men WNamed by Jury on Charge of Receiving Deposits When They Knew Insolvency. || By the Associated Press.

CANBERRA, Australia, April 28 (®). —Premier Scullin, speaking before the | House of Representatives today, made | an earnest plea for expeditious adoption of the commonwealth bank act. The act, which would place the bank’s gold reserve at the government's disposal, embodies his hopes of saving Australla from an interest-payment default.

TUCSON, Ariz., April 28.—A campus 1omance formed the background today | for & police probe of the shooting of | Thomss K. Marshall, 60, and a report | his wife, a semi-invaild, may have been the victim of a poison plot. Marshall was wounded dangerously by five shots yesterday.
