TENNESSEE VALLEY RUREAUl

The court is expected to be in session four weeks unless Judge James E. Horton, who will preside, grants the petitions which have been forwarded to him asking that he postpone the court until a later day.

0USLEY URGES
 WEEVIL WAR IN
 AUBURN SPEECH
Farmers And Bankers Discuss Cotton Prob
 lens In Conference

AUBURN, Ala, March 14.-A unit ed war on the boil weevil and the ptoduction of more cotton per acre in order that the south may maintain its monopoly was urged by Clarence Ous- ley, former assistant secretary of agri- culture and now secretary of the na- tional boil weevil association, here to- dNy. His address was in connection with a banker-farmer agricultural con- ference held at the college.
 aOusley, declared that there is some thing wrong with agriculture, that there must be united effort to bring about changes which are vitally necessary, that the agricultural college and the county agent must be depended upon for information as to what to do~and furnished leadership in doing it, and that the country banker is the key man from the standpoint of the farmer.
 Facts regarding cotton were discussed ina very frank manner. They revealed that the south has no monoply on the worlds supply of cotton, that per acre yields in Alabama are entirely too low for profit and that it is utter folly to attempt to produce cotton under boil weevil conditions without using poison.
 In discussing cotton production prob lens Mir. Ousley said, you bankers have a legal and perhaps moral right to lend money for any worthy purpose but you have no economic right to lend money for uneconomic purposes and cotton production without boil weevil control is certainly uneconomic. It is just as safe to lend it on cotton in a warehouse without fire protection as 1t lis to lend it on cotton production without weevil control.' After refer ring to the fact that Alabama's average per acre yield last year was only 91 pounds of lint cotton to the acre, Mir. Ousley added, If you cannot produce more than that you will be better off not to plant cotton. You would make more money to let your land grow grass and take from it the most you can that way"
 May Lose Monopoly
 Speakers brought out repeatedly dur ing the day that the cotton farmers of the south are in great danger of losing their monopoly on cotton production. Australia, Brazil and SOudan were de eIared to be developing cotton growing 6Il~ a large scale, and according to Mir. Onsley the labor cost of producing cot ton in Soudan and Brazil is less than boil weeyil control cost in the south Just before the close of the confer erence the safe farming program as adopted for Alabama at meeting of farmers and agricultural workers in Auburn late last year was heartily en- d0fsed. This program makes specific recommendations regarding different phases of agriculture, including expan- sion and development of the co-opera- tive marketing program, which has made phenomenal progress during the last two years.
 On motion of Adolph Hohenberg, president of the Alabama bankers asso- eiation, home econSinics work as done here and by the home demonstration agents throughout the state was enthu- siastically endorsed.
 John J. Flowers, Dothan, chairman of the agricultural committee of the Alabama bankers association, presided oyer the forenoon session and Allen

Better distribution for the farmer is
expected from the finding of the presi-

the farm problems. A cutting down of
the margin between what the farmer
gets for his products and what the con-
sumer pays for them is desirable.
