ing Ryan's protest against Thomas
suggestion that Whalen was some
what careless of his policemen's
clubs during that demonstration.
The letter from Thomas seems to
have been intended as an apology,
though Ryan attacked it as an insult
to the Central Trades and Labor
Council.
Thomas said in his letter to Ryan:
I'VE are not opposed to decent polio
ing. We object, however, to spies
and undercover men in the ranks of
organized labor, used by the police
department. Whalen cannot build up
a system such as this with any as
surance that it will be confined to
use against the Communists.
Ryan, pointing out the dangers of
Communism, as he saw it, mentioned
letter which he said he had re-
ceived from a man who came from
Russia six and half years ago, and
was a member of organized labor.
Ryan stated, in as Mortified tone
as his loud voice could manage,
This man, too, wants to see Whalen
removed"
Ryan urged organized labor to
come to the defense of the New
York police Commissioner, saying
that although 1--WE do not care who
is commissioner of police, that is not
our business. We cannot sit by and
see police commissioner Whalen
criticized or ousted for his good
handling of the March 6 affairs.

vantage of the unemployment situa-
ton. 1t is a good situation in which
to start a revolution" There was
again the expression of supreme
horror in his voice when he men
toned the word revolution"
Ryan said the report of the COM
mittee is to stimulate Suggestions"
from the members present as to
practical plans by which they can
work with the mayor and get a
little more work through the city"
He made it plain, that that is all
the meeting was for.
The meeting was very poorly at

Besides discussion on how. to mis-
lead the unemployment movement,
most of the time left was devoted
to a discussion on the question of

said, eve were there. Norman
Thomas was there, representing the

of another organization, which

this product of the Soviet studios is
almost unbelievable. Yet the pos

loses his mind for a period of time,
until by accident his mind gradually
returns and he recalls his whole
life in Moscow.
His return to Moscow is almost
as much a shock to him as his life
in the trenches. He experiences all
the thrills of new participant in
building socialist society. 1t is a
remarkable film.

is increasing from year to year and
that foreign cotton is assuming
more desirable spinning characer
due to efforts Of those in charge
OF foreign production to improve
the quality of their products. AS
a result, the present downward
trend will continue unless some
steps are taken to cut the acreage
in 1880 to a point that will produce
quantity commensurate with the
domestic and world needs. Forty
million acres will produce all the
cotton we need and 100000 acres
should be devoted to other crops.
A small crop produced at a low
cost will bring to the farmers Of
this country most profit. The ex-
perience of the farmers throughout
the belt indicates that excessive
production of cotton year after
year on the same land will result in
a loss because Of a condition which
develops in the soil.
We must get together, looking at
every phase of it. The year 1880
will be a good year for cotton farm
ers and business interests if the

and the Federal Farm Board is

on account of the non-cotton zone
which has been established in an
effort to stamp out the Pink Boil
Worm. Thus the acreage reduction
which has been requested by the
Federal Farm Board will probably
be accomplished in Arizona.
Regardless of how successful the
Federal Farm Board is in its
effort to reduce the cotton acre
age, it is possible the growers next
fall will be confronted with unsat-

such conditions exist, it is the
farmer who has produced a large

will be able to show a profit, or
break even, or show the smaller

WHAT EVERY COMMUNITY
SHOULD DO AT ONCE

Mobilize the agricultural leaders,
bankers, business men and cotton
growers to immediate action to
bring about a substantial reduction
in the cotton acreage in every COM
munity.
Do not rely upon outside speak
ers. Take the initiative and hold
your own meetings.
Local Chambers of Commerce
and MONDAY Luncheon clubs
should arrange meetings of busi-
ness men, cotton growers and all
others interested at courthouses
and school houses, at which the
facts in the present critical cotton
situation are presented by able
speakers.
Secure the cooperation of the
County Agents and teachers of Vo-
cational Agriculture.
Put up posters in every bank,
general store or general meeting
place where cotton growers can
see what the situation is:
You can obtain posters and other
information about the critical cot
ton situation free from The Ameri-
can Cotton Cooperative Associa-

ADVICE FROM COUNTY AGENT

Casa Grande, March II, 1880
The Federal Farm Board is now
devoting much time and effort to-
wards reducing the acreage of cot
ton grown during the 1880 season.
The program calls for an acreage
reduction of 100000 under that of
1929, and they are working hard in
each of the cotton growing states
to have that state reduce its pro-
portional amount of this acreage.
A statement issued by the Federal
Farm Board under date of January
6, 1880, may be interesting to Pinal
County cotton growers:
"The time has come for southern
farmers to consider how much cot
ton they will plant next spring.
Last years acreage was too large
(47, ,569 900 acres). 1t was the larg-
est planted acreage of any year in
history except 1925 and 1926. Moth
ing but crop failure in Texas in
1929 prevented a total yield of 49,
000.00 bales in the belt. That is
more American cotton than the
world will take at a fair price
A national acreage yield equal
to that of 1926 on the 1929 acreage
would have produced 1750O,O0O
bales. A ten percent reduction in
that acreage with the 1926 acre
yield would return a crop of 15.-
1904 900 bales; with average yileds,
1880 600 bales; and with the low
est yield within the last seven
years about 11.250,000 bales. Large
cotton crops sell for less than small
ones Ten million bales in 1928
sold for $1,600,OO0,00O. Eighteen
million bales in 1926 sold for less
than 1,00O,0OO,OO0; that is, farm
ers picked and ginned 8 million
bales of cotton in 1926, gave them
to the world free of charge and, in
effect, paid $6OO,OOO,OOO for the
the privilege. That is not good
business for farmers"
At the present time it is evident
that the 1880 cotton acreage in Ar
izona will be around Is per cent

MOST AUTOS TO POPULATION
IN CALIFORNIA; 1.763,3O8 TOTAL

Any one who imagines the automo-
bilcs are concentrated in his locality
and all out when he is driving-should
think twice before changing his resi-
dence. Following are some high points
taken from a complete table of motor
vehicle registrations in 1929 by States,
contained in the statistical publication
Of the National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce, Facts and Figures Of the
Automobile Industry" the 1880 edition
Of which has just been issued:
New York State had the most pas
senger cars, 1922 ,068, also the most
motor trucks, 34l,l 9l, so naturally it
had the greatest total motor vehicle
registration, 2,263,259.
California, second In number of pas
senger cars, 1888. BOB, took first place
in recasting the list according to popu-
lation, for 1t had one passenger car for
every two and one-half persons, while
New York dropped to thirty fourth
place, having six persons per passenger
car. The average for the country was
f1ve persons per passenger car.
Pennsylvania was second in truck
registration with 2l7408, but Nevada In
proportion to population had ~ per-
sons per truck, whereas Pennsylvania
had 4713. The average for the country
was 3614 persons per truck.
In numerical increase over 1923 of
total motor vehicle registration New
York was first, 1887 but in per cent
of increase the District of Columbia
was first with 1894 per cent and New
York down in nineteenth place with

WARNS MOTORISTS
OF HIGHWAY PERlLS
Veteran Automobile Dealer Advises
Against Sudden Stops Where
Many Cars Are in Operation.

Sudden stops on the highway over
which cars are travelling at good rates
Of speed should be Stunned by mo-
florists, says Rudolph Jose, veteran
local automobile dealer.
According to Mr.. Jose, such sudden
stops are a fertile source Of nishaps.
Frequently a driver will rush by a
set of direction signs and, desiring to
read them, Will slam on his brakes
hurriedly, not only failing to give a
signal, but frequently performing the
stopping process too swiftly for the mo-
torist behind 10 avoid collision" Mr..
Jose points out.
OF course, motorists should drive
on the highways with sufilcient space
between to take care of such con-
tingencies, but it is a practical fact
that often this wise policy Is not car
ried out. thus making the individual
motorists responsibility that much
greater.
mo stop should be made without
signal. And, further, the careful driver
Will avoid sudden stops, even II he has
given an adequate warning, remember
ing that the driver following him may
not be on the alert"

Due to Limiting Produc.

DETROIT, Mich. June II 1T Ia un,
doubtedly true that the depression N
the automotive industry, as well a. the
lack of buying power both resulted DE-
rectly and indirectly from the over
production which began in 1898 and
continued throughout 1929 according To
b. II. Cram. Industry authority
During this period a surplus Of An
lshed products completely demoraliEed
the retail market during the latter part
OF 1929 and during the 1rSt part Of
1880. Manufacturers realized the dan
ger into which they had placed them
selves, and early this year took rather
drastic steps to remedy the situation.
Practically all factories announced that
production policies would be materially
revised and that output would be linz
TIED TO the actual demand OF the dealers
and the public. The manufacturers have
adhered TO this policy with the result
that production so far thB year has
been at levels substantially below that
OF 1929 and slightly below that Of 1878

ton.
II would appear that this conserva-
tism has not only resulted practically
in the elimination OF the surplus, but
has allowed the pendulum to swing TO
the other end OF the arc, with the result
That sales, which have been increasing
month by month, are now running In
excess of output II has been . long time
since such condition has existed In
the automotive industry.
During the first Ave months OF 1890
passenger car production amounted to
l,58B,269 cars. Estimating May domestic
retail sales at 375, 900 units, a fairly con-
sentative figure, total sales from jan
uary / TO May 81 will approximate
l,422,644 units. Leaving a surplus OF
165,625 units. Exports during these
five months are estimated ut close 30
100000 cars, thus reducing the surplus
stocks TO about $4,000 automobiles. AZ
the present rate OF production this
amount is less than one weeks output
for the entire industry.
