DESTROY Third
OF COTTON, IS
FEDERAL EDICT
Drastic Verdict Handed to
Southern Farmers by
u. S. Board.
CONFLICT IS LOOMING
Immediate Action Ordered
in Effort to Send
Prices Booming.
BY H. o. THOMPSON
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Imme-
date destruction of a third of his
growing cotton was demanded Of the
southern farmer today as the fed
eral farm boards plan for bolster
ing prices and avoiding financial
disaster in the south and indirect
distress in the nation as a whole.
The idea of destroying wealth in
an effort to create wealth is an ex-
traordinary proposal It brings
basic economic theories into direct
clash. 1t demands the closest CO.
operation among thousands of in
dividuals. Hence widespread con-
troversy appears certain.
The plan was laid before the
governors of fourteen cotton pro-
ducing states in kilograms from the
board. The governors first reac-
ton was one of willingness to CO.
operate.
Caution Is Apparent
There was some caution regard
ing commitment to a definite pro-
gram. When the sentiment of the
growers themselves is sounded thor
oughly, there will be more basis for
judging the probable result.
Agreement to the plan by Sept
/ and completion of the crop de-
struction by Sept. is was called for
by the board. It will continue to
drive home the need for quick
response. Cotton picking already
has started in some sections.
The farm board was hesitant to
advance such a drastic measure.
For a time it seemed acreage reduc-
ton would ease the situation which
had developed from the constantly
increasing cotton surplus.
Huge Crop Expected
Then the department of agricul-
lures August estimate of the new
crop last Saturday conveyed the
startling news that a tremendous
crop of 1884, 900 bales was expect
ed. The board decided the time
for temporizing had passed.
For the first time in the handling
of its sterilization cotton and
wheat, purchased last year in an
effort to halt swiftly sagging prices
of two of the nations principal
farm commodities, the board now
offers to keep its cotton off the
market for a year.
Tt would do so on condition that
ten cotton producing states fulfil
a crop destruction campaign that
would reduce the supply by at least
100000 bales.
Would Boost Prices
Destruction of third of the cot
ton, the board believes, would more
than justify itself by higher prices
for the remainder Of the crop. -Four
million bales at current prices
would bring around $4,000, 900.
The board hopes to get prices back
to where 100000 bales would sell
for more than double that quantity
now.
President Hoover was not con-
suited by the federal farm board
before its recommendations we're,
made, 1t was said at the White
House today. He had no knowledge
of the destruction project and now
considers it strictly farm board
proposition, his representative said.
There was no other White House
comment.

YORKTOWN. Va, Aug 13-The
climax of the battle of Yorktown,
Lord Corvallis surrender to
George Washington, will be re-
enacted after all in celebration of
the 150th anniversary of the end of
the Revolutionary war.
The fedral commission in charge
of the celebration reversed its
original decision to delete the scene
from a pageant that will be given
here in October. The deletion
had been ordered as a result of
suggestions that British guests might
be offended.
Final decision to portray the
surrender was taken over protests
of DR.. w. A. r. Goodwin, president
of the Yorktown Sesquicentennial
Association. He held presentation
of the scene would shift emphasis
from the basic purpose of the
pageant, which is to depict the
founding of the United States as an
independent nation.

THEY Tell NE

Schortemeier declared that he did
not think Indianapolis would need
to raise as much money as other
cities to get the convention.
Indiana is debatable ground and
it always is wise politics to hold
the convention in such territory to
stimulate interest" he pointed out
The same type of argument is be-
ing advanced by Chicago and Cleve-
land, but it is felt here that mas
much as indianapolis has not been
host to a convention for years, ii
should be shown preference.
II r.
Hotel men and taxi operators are
loud in their praise of the conven-
ton bid, inasmuch as at least $4,000
persons attend.
That HooSier Republicanism needs
something to pep it up, inasmuch
as the visit of President Hoover
here did not accomplish this desir-
able effect, is well known.
The national convention would do
much to accomplish this, hackers of
the invitation declared.
Whatever be the result, it would
be good advertisement for Indian
apolis to extend the bid.
