While Farmers Schedule
Conferences in Other States.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, Ga, August 29.-The at
tention of the South today was focused
upon Louisiana's legislation against pro-
duction of cotton in 1882 and the man
ner of its reception by the other cot
ton States.
A copy of the act, finally adopted
early this morning and made law when
its sponsor, Gov. Huey p. Long, arose
from bed to sign 1t, was dispatched to
Texas for consideration. The bill be-
comes operative only II States raising
three -fourths of the crop adopt similar
measures.
Farmers Discuss Plan.
In South Carolina, by proclamation
of Gov. Ibra c. Blackwood farmers
gathered at county seats to discuss the
cotton situation and express their de-
sires as to following the Louisiana plan.
He said he would be ruled largely by
their sentiments.
At least three meetings of farmers
to discuss the prohibition measure have
been scheduled in Georgia for Monday.
Eugene Talmadge, Georgia commissioner
of agriculture, has been speaking in
behalf of the plan through the State.
Several mass meetings have already APP
proved the measure.
Gov Russell OF Georgia yesterday
wired President Hoover asking him to
use the good offices of the Farm Board
to take steps toward improvement of
the price of cotton or to call special
session of Congress If the Farm Board
cannot act at once.
The South also looked to the Farm
Board for any steps that body might
take. Yesterday Senator George of
Georgia and other Southern Senators
discussed the cotton crisis with the
Farm Board members in Washington.
Senator George submitted a plan to
pay farmers ~ cents pound for their
cotton, half now and half next year,
If they plant no cotton then.
The suggestion of the Egyptian gov
eminent for an international confer
ence to consider the world cotton Situa-
ton likewise was under scrutiny.

&E AhS ASSOCldkeu EEeSS.
CHICAGO, August 29.-An eight
month search for evidence of police
graft and corruption was terminated by
a special grand jury yesterday with the
report 1t found nothing worthy of prose-
cution and that special grand juries
ought to be discarded as obsolete and
ineffective.
The report commended the depart
ment as second TO none in honesty and
efficiency and upbraided. as pernicious
and reprehensible, critics who attempt
to thrill their listeners with weird tales

Admitting few captains. whom re-
ports credited with bank accounts rang
ing as high as $4,000 and 100000 on
salaries Of $4,000, had holdings out Of
all proportion to their earnings, the
grand jury said it returned no indict-
mentS because there was not sufficient
proof to warrant them.
Whatever graft was discovered. the
grand Jury said, could be traced to the
enactment of the national prohibition
law. prior to which we are satisfied it
was confined to sporadic instances
Nothing in our opinion would go
so far to raise the standards of ali

by law the growing of cotton next

WHY He LEFT

Eugene Meyer, Federal Reserve

that his banking activities and as.
sociations disqualified him from

He sketched financial opera

interest Of agriculture" He
added:
II have been told that I
have a cotton complex, but
1t was because / realized the
importance of cotton in our
economic life, and in relation
to the whole country and the
whole world.
