Cotton Acreage Cut 2.7 Per Cent

Carl Williams is the cotton member Of the federal
farm board. Lest we forget. without asking q specific
reduction the board told cotton growers at planting
time that when the cotton acreage reached 100000 600
acres, 1t had reached the danger line as far as produc-
ton was concerned. Logically it is said, the board
figured a 100000 acre reduction necessary, but VIII
liams said he had counted on no more than a three
per cent reduction.
Well. the acreage figures have been made public.
There IS 100000 acres less cotton in cultivation than
a year ago as reported by the department Of agri-
culture. Cotton In cultivation aggregates 4~5J6l5!000
acres, compared with 47,O57 900 acres in cultivation
a year ago, when a crop of 1882. 499 equivalent 500
pound bales Of lint was ginned. Carl Williams made
this comment: Il am contented but not satisfied"
Had the acreage been reduced to 100000 acres it
would have represented a cut Of Is per cent, but the
actual reduction still Is not enough for the safety Of
the cotton producers and the acreage reduction cam
paign will be continued. Cotton acreage in Texas
this year is four per cent lower than that Of 1929, or
1880 900 as compared with 1929 900 acres in 1929.
Acreage in Oklahoma this year is estimated at 90 per
cent Of 1929. North Carolina made the greatest re-
duction with an acreage Of 90 per cent Of last year.
Mississippi and Arkansas and Tennessee and Missouri
all show increased acreages. Their growers ignored
the very urgent advice Of the federal farm board.
Now what will be the average price paid for the cot
ton Of 1902

Business Good In Texas

William c. Edwards Of Dallas is the public re-
lations man OF a big utility corporation. He keeps his
eye on the main issues. For instance: Measured
by the electrical output ~yardstick, business conditions
in Texas are eight times as good as the average over
the United States. For the last three months, Texas
electrical output gained eight per cent agains an av-
erage over the United States of one per cent
Another Edwards nugget Of news: Texas had T.
02l farms electrically served from transmission lines
at the end of 1929. This represented a gain Of 1896
over 1928, but only one and five-tenths per cent Of
the ass, 446 farms in the United States were e%lectri-
fled during 1929, bringing the total to $4,000 and
establishing a new high record with an increase Of
215 per cent.
California led all the states with 1880 farms served
by the interconnected systems at the close Of the
year, while Montana led in percentage of gain with
lot per cent. Farm electric customers added in the
past eight years in the IS states are almost as many
as the total Of all kinds OF electrical consumers at
the end of the first Is years Of the electric light and
power industry.
This appears to be the electric civilization. It was
a Wall street civilization for seven years. Then the
shearing Of the sheep made a Roman holiday for the
professional shearers. and the shorn have been bleat-
ing ever since.

The Once Over
READYING UP SUMNER COTTAGE FOR
THE TENANTS

Copyright. 1880. by The Associated Newspaperso

Scene: Summer cottage Of the Jarvis 7. Squidges.
They have occupied it themselves well into July. have
leased It for the rest Of the season for $4,000. and are
giving It the final inspection before turning it over.
Mrs. squidge: Well, do you think everything's okay
now for them to take possession?
Mr.. Squidge: Sure. What can they expect for less
than $500 a month?
Mrs. Squidge: / guess everything's all right II
don't think I've forgotten to move out all the furni-
ture that's any good.
Nj. Squidge: You better look around again. Last
season after the people moved in you suddenly re-
membered you had left a really comfortable couch. 1t
was too late 10 do anything about It.
Mrs. Squidge: Yes, and I left EN- q coffee pot
that didn't Leak
Mr.. Squidge: How about all the beds?
Mrs. Souidge: What about emp
Mr.. Squidge: Are you sure the mattresses are
hard and full Of Jumps?
Mrs. Squidge: All but one In the back room closet.
We've had it only ten years and It's still fit to sleep
on. I'm sort OF hoping they won't find 1t.
Mr.. Squidge: These summer ~cottagers find any
thing. You better femme take 1t home and put 1t in
the cellar. Either that or open 1t and suff a few
rocks and some broken glass so II they do find It
they won't be able TO sleep on 1t. How about that
armchair over there?
Mrs. Squidge: I thought I might leave that.
Mr.. Squidge Chorrified at the Ideal: It's got all
four legs on 1t and can be sat in without fixing!
Mrs. Squidge: I know it. It's a shame to leave any
thing they can be comfortable in.
Mr.. Squidge: Toss it in the attic and bring down
that old bench with the back busted. And what about
dishes? Did you leave EN- enough to eat on9
Mrs. Squidge: OF course not. 1 was very careful
to take away everything but three plates. four soup
bowls, one cup, seven saucers and one fork.
Mr.. Squidge: Goodl That's just enough to worry
EN-. Well. let's 90.
Mrs. Squidge (as they lock the door: oh. Jarvis, I
forgot one thing. I must take care Of 1t at once.
Mr.. Squidge: What IS 1t? I hope you didn't leave
the gas stove in working order?
Mrs. Squidge: Not that. dear.
Mr.. Squidge: Or the ice-box fit 70 use?
Mrs. Squidge: Certainly not.
Mr.. Squidge: What. then?
Mrs. Squidge Cself-accusingly): Last week I wrote
Mr.. Beemis. the plumber. to mend the hole in the
bathtub and fix the three leaks in the kitchen pipes.
Now that we've rented the cottage Ill have to call him
at once and tell him o TO BOTHER!

An Associated Press wire Monday
disclosed that a man in Mexico City
was being held by police for i'm
personating another. He had 16
wives, the man admitted. but this
was not the reason for his being
detained.
A man like that ought to be al

without doubt he is one of the

Celebration
One thing Brownsville hasn't had
for a long time is a first-class
celebration. But this Is to be re-
NEEDED soon. according to @. r.
Richardson Of the chamber Of COM
merce.
At the next meeting of the board
of directors. plans will be drawn
for a super-celebration to celebrate
the opening OF the Boca Chica
highway in September.
II is not known as yet. Of course,
what shape or form the celebration
viii assume. but doubtless 1t will
be something to wire home about.
If ID follows the regular Valley
rule. there will be free ~barbecues,
free drinks, a pyrotechnical display
with really attractive fireworks. and
plenty Of speaking. The Mexican

some kind Of a freak feature. like

1000 Miles An Hour

Certain aviation engineers predict that airplanes
may eventually attain speed Of 1000 miles an hour
also that nonstop flights around the world will be
made.
AS the apparent movement of the sun, due to the
earths rotation is less than 1000 miles an hour in
latitudes above and below the equator such speed
would present some interesting collateral experiences
For example: Travelling west, one night circle
the globe In daylight, as the plane would keep pace
with the sun Travelling east, the plane would meet
the sun twice so that it would apparently experience
two days in "a hours
Strangest of ALL if the plane We're flying somewhat
faster than the visible movement of the sun it might
start out shortly after sunset and fly west to overtake
the sun, which would appear to rise in the west Con-
tinung its flight it would finally leave the sun SO far
behind that it would appear to set in the east
