COTTON REDUCTION
AWAITS i. S. Cash
Administration Not to Pro-

able for Farmers. :"
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated fIeSS
The delay in announcing the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Administration S
cotton control plan for 1884, authorlta-
tive sources said yesterday. was because
of question as to whether money will
be available for prospective benefit pay
mentS to growers in March.
Rental payments to farmers. who
agree to cut acreage. would be made
under present plans. in March in time
to give the growers cash to finance pro-
duction for next year.
The Treasury has been asked by the
Adjustment Administration to say
whether the money would be available
for the March payment. because the
Farm Administration did not want to
go ahead until it was absolutely GER
tain cash would be available.
A processing tax of 40 cents a lint
pound was levied on cotton, effective
October l. 1t is estimated this will
yield well over 100000 900 yearly, but
most of the first years collection from
the processing tax must go to pay for
the emergency acreage reduction cam
paign this year. Farmers plowed up
around 100000 acres, and in return
will receive approximately 100000
from the Farm Administration.
1He rdlIH AuIIllIllStidllOn was given
S200,000000 by Congress, but some OF
this money will be used to pay the loss
on cotton options given the Southern
farmers. Farm officials want to keep
this fund intact for emergencies which
may arise in commodities other than
cotton
At the time the 1884 and 1885 cotton
control plan was drawn, Farm Admins
tration officials expected a part of the
money necessary to finance it from,
compensatory processing taxes on prod
uctS that compete with cotton. Among
these are jute. rayon and a number OF
other commodities but the taxes have
not yet been levied and the time when
they may be put into effect is indefinite

British Tots Want Militant

LONDON, Dec. T. CUP. -
There will be no disarmament

Stores, already displaying their
Christmas wares, report that toy
soldiers, guns, tanks, airplanes
and forts-in fact, every modern
engine of war in miniature--are

Britain may clam to be the
most disarmed of the world pow
ers after Germany, but her chill
dren probably will be the most
militarily equipped this winter.
Forts seem to be most in de-
mand. SO much so that early
stocks already are sold out, and
the manufacturers are working
overtime.
The military toys are not the
gaudily painted, impossible look,

things of the past. They are cor
rect to the last detail, usually in
khaki. The "enemy'-for every
boy knows that you must have an
