FACES REJECTION
Opponents Forecast Defeat
and Doom of Long Plan.
Crop Cut Favored.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
AUSTIN, Tex, September 14.-Cot-
ton men here agreed today that unless
a pronounced shift Of sentiment de-
velops in the Texas Legislature, the
no 1882 cotton" plan of Gov. Huey
Long of Louisiana is doomed.
AS the legislature prepared to oper
debate on measures to relieve the crisis
in the industry, observers generally
forecast passage of an acreage reduc-
ton bill, instead, within the next AZ
hours.
Would Void Long Plan Act.
Defeat OF the prohibition bill in
Texas would seal the fate of the Long
program, because one-third of the
nations cotton is raised in this state
The Long plan provided that it would
not go into effect unless States pro-
ducing three-fourths of the cotton
adopted the holiday clause.
The bloc advocating reduction OF
acreage to not more than one-third
of the cultivated area for 1882 ap-
peared to be strongest.
Defeat Of Ban Predicted.
Advocates of the ne-third plan as
serted the Long plan would be de-
feated 2-to-1, and that they would
be able to block a bill for a reduction
of acreage to 25 per cent by smaller
majority.

homes in the fires. All are being cared
for in their various communities. and

turn to their properties to rebuild
homes out of logs or whatever other

men was put to work burying dead
animals which threatened to become a
menace to health after being burned
IN the fires.

FARMERS VISIT
TO STATIONS IS
WELL ATTENDED

Yesterdays field Cay excursion to
the Meloland and Bard experiment
stations was a decided success ac-
cording to Frank Beyschlag, farm
advisor.
In spite of the early hour, a num-
ber of local ranchers met at Mel

where they motored to the Bard

interest the wcv2 in crop rotation
and that in commercial fertilizers.
1t was brought out that in light
sandy soils superphosphates bring
good results. the heavier soils, how
ever, not responding SO well to tha
use of this fertilizer.
