part and parcel of the same CAPT
talist class oppression, and attempts
to divide the working class, that has
produced the infamous Scottsboro le-
gal lynching, the frame-up of the
nine Negro boys (three of them less
than IA years of age) who are being
sent to the electric chair on the
charge of having raped" two motor
ious white prostitutes. The nation
wide protest against this lynching
which has reused the entire country,
will be further emphasized in the
mass mobilization of the Detroit
working class on the streets June 10,
and in the mass meeting in Olympia
hall at night. The demonstration
must also join the nationa- wide pro-
test against the 42-year prison SEN

Smaller Acreage
 and Better Cotton
 Is Goal in South

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. "A double-barrel cotton program will be carried to southern farmers through county agents next spring
 It will be directed at curtailment of acreage to lower production and at a better quality of staple to cope with Russian consumption
 The plan is that of officials of the American Cotton Cooperative Association and the United States department of agriculture experts who plan to shape their campaign around county agents.
 It was announced following 9 conference here that an intensive drive will be made to carry tht program to farmers of the south east in an effort to boost the price of the staple.
 The plan will be known as tht "one-variety project" shaped to es- tablish a certain cotton staple in { certain section and keep it there year after year, by pure seed anc standardization in ginning to pre- vent mixing of varying staplt lengths when the cotton is ginned
 Dr. O. F. Cook of the bureau oi plant industry expressed the opin, ion that the south can best cash 1T on it's principal crop by standard izing the staple lengths according to communities.
