COTTON SLASH
PLAN SUCCESS
IS INDICATED
New Farm Deal for South
Likely to Go Through;
Contracts Signed.
BY MARSHALL M'NEIL
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, July 14.-The
first actual test of the popularity
of, and faith in, the Roosevelt ad-
ministrations new farm deal ap-
parently is a success, for reports
from the cotton belt indicate the
acreage reduction campaign will go
through but in a smaller way than
first planned.
Texas cotton growers already
have signed up to pillow under or
otherwise not harvest more than
4,050,000 acres Of cotton, and get
their share of the $4,000 900 that
will be spread throughout the south
under the Roosevelt program.
Since this is only about 100000
acres below the Texas quota, and
since Texas was expected t. account
for slightly less than half of the
whole contemplated reduction of
100000 acres, the sponsors of the
plan still are optimistic.
The probabilities are shat the
plan will be put into effect with
something less than 100000 acres
equivalent to about 100000 bales
taken out of production.
The program includes renting Of
this land by the government, par

But the secretary and the Presi-

This was clearly shown when
Wallace announced that he has de-
cided to license all professors and
