Encouraged when prices passed beyond 10 cents a pound and by asgurance of agricultural leaders, that destruction of 30 percent of the current crop would mean 10 to 12 cents per pound next fall, farmers embraced the plan with enthusiasm. U. S. To Pay Rent Secretary Henry A. Wallace of the department of agriculture has announced acceptance of the cot- ton reduction program and plans Ho speed distrivution of $100,- 000,000 to the 700,000 farmers signed up. This sum, representing rent for the abandoned acreage, is to be collected from processing and other taxes on the finished pro- duct.

One baker estimated that 16 | percent increase, about 1 cent, of | wholesale pri in New York i would cover costs, and that retail- | ers might or might not increase prices by a similar amount. He said a uniform price for bread was ;somewhat misleading since some loaves contained superior mate- rials, Practically every ingredient going into the loaf gained in cost between February and July. Wheat, plus the processing tax, moved up about 1.33 cents, sugar from .08 to .10, malt from .05 to -06, lard substitute from .11 to .15, dried milk from .15 to .20. Yeast and salt were unchanged.

As Senator Sees It In the words of Senator E. D. Smith of South Carolina, father of the reduction bill, the farmer who makes an a¥erage of 100 bales on his farm could plow up his quota under the government plan and have “30 bales in the. warehouse, weevil, no. crab grass no re- creation following, a ‘shave tail’ (mule) around in’ this sum, no in- terest, no shortage, no insurance, no ginning and po bagging and thes to pay.” From the moment contracts were available there was a‘ rush of farmers to sign them. Big planters in the Mississippi delta, anxious to ‘get the jump on the rest of the state, signed retire- ment contracts early the morning of the first day of “cotton week.” Response Enthusiastic Little objection was voiced by farmers of the cotton belt. Their attitude was that of “getting some- where, now.” Oscar Johnson, big Mississippi ¢otton planter, with 20,400 acres in cultivation, retired 5,250 of them with one signature. ston is a member of the agricul. tural adjustment administration. The big plantation is located at Scott, Miss. Florida farmers generally asked to retire only 42,000 acres, re- ceived the pian with enthusiasm. Actual destruction of retired reage was not supposed to begin until after the required number of acres had been pledged. But James Allen, 65-year-old Georgia farmer, plowed up part of his ¢rop the same day he signed his ¢ontract and claims he was one of the very first in the country to destroy part of his acreage.
