ARIZONA OPPOSES CUT.
Governors Inquiry Finds Farmers
Against Farm Board Proposal.

PHOENIX, AriZ, August is tP).-
Gov George w. p. Hunt said today
most of the answers he had received
from Arizona cotton growers to his
query as to their reaction to the Fed
eral Farm Board proposal that one
third of this years crop be destroyed
indicate the plan is looked upon with
diSfayor in this State"
An objection containing much
merit" he said, lis that practically all
farmers in Arizona have mortgaged
their cotton crop under terms which
require them to harvest all Of 1t and
the plan suggested would be illegal be-
cause 1t involves destruction of mort
gagged property. Advances made by
finance companies were on the basis Of
l0-cent cotton. and at the present price
all of the crop VIII scarcely repay the
loans

Final rejection today appeared to be
in store for the Farm Boards drastic
plan OF destroying a third Of the cotton
crop in an effort to boost the price of
the staple
Four of the Il States asked to CO.
operate have flied objections to the sug-
festion that every third row OF standing
cotton be plowed under. A fifth, Texas,
the largest producing State whose CO.
operation was deemed essential for sue
cess, appeared in doubt.
Gov. Sterling was said yesterday at
the board to have agreed to lend his
assistance. The Texas chief executive
later, however, issued a statement at
Houston denying he favored the board
proposal.
Sterling Clears Stand.
II notice" he said, the impression
has gotten out that / favor blowing up
one-third of this years cotton crop.
This Is not the case. However, / did
wire Chairman Stone Of the Farm
Board that 1 would gladly cooperate
with him in his efforts TO aid the cot
ton farmers.
Mr.. Stone evidently construed my
message to mean that / favored his
specific plan. 1 think it would be Just
as reasonable to ask the Farm Board
to burn up part of the cotton they
are holding as it is TO ask the farmers
10 destroy part of their crop"

opposing the boards plan, Endorsed the
idea OF reducing the current harvest and
offered substitute proposals which were
not made public. South Carolina also
rejected the plan.

because of its small cotton production.
Ten Must Sanction Plan.
In addressing the plan to IA Gov
errors, the board indicated 10 must
agree to make it operative beginning
September /. In return. it agreed to
hold its sterilization cotton for one
year and urge upon cotton co-opera-
tives the advisability OF similar action
in regard to their 2,l00, 900 bales. At
least eight Governors have informally
expressed the opinion the boards sug-
geStion was impractical
Senator Caraway. Democrat. of Ark
ansaS, and Senator Smith. Democrat. of
South Carolina, are among those who
have presented substitute plans ranging
from holding sterilization cotton for
i've years to resumption of sterilization
operations. Briefly their plans provide
for the purchase by the board of sub
stantial part of this years prospective
harvest OF 1884, 900 bales on the con-
dition that farmers agree by contract
not to plant cotton next year.
Work on Financing.
Senator Smith presented his plan
last Winter. At that time 1t was re-
iected in letter signed by Carl VIII
liams, cotton member, which said pur-
chase of 4,000, 900 bales as Smith sug-
gested would not solve the problem.
Under its present proposal. however. IL
is hoped to reduce production by that
amount.
Meanwhile, the board was attempting
to reach an agreement with the di-
rectors of the American Cotton Coop
erative Association on the amount of
financing for handling this years crop.

made to farmer-members
