Farm Board Proposal
Meets Split Opinion

The Federal Farm Boards
amazing proposal to Southern
cotton planters that they destroy
a third Of their crop this year to
force higher prices on the re-
naming tWo-thirds represents the
most radical step ever taken by
Federal agency to influence
commodity prices and the old
economic law of supply and de-
mand.
Just as opinion was divided
about the Capital today over the
wisdom Of crop destruction, SO
was there marked divergence as
to whether the plan can be sue
cessful.
There exists no Federal law by
which the board can compel a
planter to destroy any portion of
the product of his years work.
Nor do any Of the IA cotton-pro-
ducing States have such laws.
The Farm Boards proposal
brought a protest from Senator
Fletcher CD of Florida, who
asked:
'Why burn up and destroy
cotton, wheat, or other staples
when there are needy and
hungry people in the cOuntry?"

"FooIish and WastefuI," Say
Southerners of the Plan;
Planters Loans Bar Move

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 13
U.N.SO General disparagement
of the Federal Farm Boards pro-
poSal to destroy one-third of the
cotton crop was voiced today by
governors and cotton authorities
of the Southern States.
Doubt that the plan is workable
was expressed on all sides, and it
was branded as absurd" fool
iSh," and economic waste"
Fool Proposition"
Gov. Theodore G. Bilbo, of
Missippi. who suggested that cot
ton planters leave one out Of
every three rows standing un-
picked in an effort to raise the
price of the new crop, said the
Farm Board plan of destroying
the third row was foolish and
wastefuI."
Deriding the plan as al damn
fool proposition, :" Martin Afnorous,
of Marietta, Ga, outstanding
authority, said the proposal was
not workable because planters
have loans with their crops as
security and could not destroy
the cotton.
Storage Suggested
Storage of the surplus, instead
OF destruction, was advanced as
a possible remedy by Gov. Doyle
E. Carlton, of Florida.
Gov. Huey p. Long, of LOuisi-
ana, said planters would not de-
StrOy a third Of their crops under
any condition.
Officials of Memphis and New
Orleans cotton exchanges said
the plan would be imperative.
