10 Million
Reduction Is
Requested

Continued from front page
received and accepted enough Of
fers from farmers to take a sub
stantial amount of cotton lands out
of production.
The rate under the law, when
levied at its maximum as Wallace
said he intended to do, is the diff
ference between the current aver
age farm price and the parity
price based on pre-war average farm
prices.
The pre-war average is abou:
:12h cents and the average farm
price for cotton during the first
part of June was Al cents less than
that, which would make the latter
sum the amount of the tax, if it
went into effect at once.
Wallace said that in fixing the
tax rate he would use the most re-
cent figures on average farm prices
pre-war prices and ether data sup
piled by the bureau of agricultural
economies.
He intends, if possible, &c give a,
least 10 days notice of the tax
rate, which may be based On the
bureaus figures for the average
prices between June IS and July IS
as hat period will be the most re-
cent for which statistics will have
been compiled when the tax rate is
announced.
In cases where the grower agrees
to take an option at SIX cents ]
pound, the rental benefit payment
per acre will be based on these
yields.

lint cotton per acre Sc; 125 to 149
pounds, 81; $50 to ia pounds,
IS; rs to PA pounds, $40; 225 e

In cases where the grower does
not care for an option, he may 1'ct
to receive a cash payment in full
for blowing up a portion of his
crop.
For each acre yielding from 100
to l24 pounds, the paymer: will
be 81; from 125 to 149 pounds,
50; $50 to ia pounds. $11; Us
to PA pounds, $14; 225 to IA
pounds, $17; and rs pounds and
upwards, $40.
Secretary Wallace called for the
destruction of 100000 acres of
growing cotton in a long-limbed
experiment to curb production and
reduce the potential surplus of the
south's big money crop.
The secretary announced that
maximum processing taxes-abo t
Al cents a pound ON the basis Of
present price relationships-would
be levied beginning August l &C

ADDRESS TO JUG OF RUM
The following address to a jus
of rum will never be SO old as t..
loose it's flavor:
Here only by a cork controlled,
And slender walls of earthen mould.
In all the pomp of death REF >s
The seeds of many a bloody nose;
The chattering tongue, the horrid
oath,
The fist for fighting, nothing 10th;
The passions which no word car
tame
That bursts like sulphur into
flame;
The nose, carbuncled, growing rcd
The bloated eye, the broken hea !
The tree that bears a deadly fruit
Of murder, manning, and dispute:
Assault that innocence a~seails;
The images of gloomy jails,
The giddy thought Of mischief
bent.
The midnight ho"r in riot spent
All within the jug appear,
And Jeg the hangman III the rear

AUTO USED AS COOLER
Air Drawn Into Car Over Pan of
Ice Lowers Temperature.

By tHited Press
LINDSAY, Cal, Sept. There's
no need to swelter while driving in
midsummer heat, Mr.. and Mrs. Allen
Jack of Lindsay insist.
Here's their recipe:
Put a large cake of ice in a pan
beside the gear shift lever; open
the cowl ventilator; close all WIN
dows except one at the rear, and
leave that one open but an inch.
The air drawn into the car
through the cowl passes over the
Ice and is cooled before it filters its
way out the window, they explained.
They claimed they could reduce
the temperature inside their car 10
degrees under that outside.

This town was without
communication with the out
side world for more than two
hours, while fierce winds,
estimated to be reaching a We
locity of 100 miles an hour in
gusts, ripped through the
streets.
A hasty check indicated damage
was comparatively slight No deaths
were reported, and only two injuries.
A youth was blown through plate
glass window and a woman had a
small piece Of debris blown against
her ankle.
Fort Lauderdale, seventy five
miles south, was without commun-
ications. At 1890 a. M, when lines
were severed, a thirty mile wind was
blowing and the barometer had
dropped three points within half
hour. Miami, farther south, ex-
perienced gale winds of forty to
fifty miles an hour.
Fear was felt here for the towns
of Jupiter, Stuart and Fort Perez,
all to the north. 1t was believed the
center of the storm passed north of
here, but how far was a matter OF
conjecture. Stuart is half way be-
between here and Fort Pierce.
The freighter Western Sword,
shorn of her propeller by the hurri-
cane, was anchored off the Florida
coast, riding out heavy seas and
the screaming wind. She was be-
lieved safe.
