Cotton Problem Remains Difficult

THE drastic curtailment Of cotton acreage

come Of Southern cotton farmers slightly more
than 100 per cent, yet in starting this years
campaign for reduced production, the problem
is even greater for nature negated the effort
to reduce the tremendous surplus.
The signing Of the cotton contracts called
for destruction of 10000, 600 acres Of growing
cotton. This tremendous program was carried
out in full yet so beneficent were growing con-
ditions during the year, the carryover was still
13 600 900 bales. This necessitated the adoption
of an even more drastic plan and this year
agricultural officials are seeking the retirement
of $4,000, 900 acres from production.
In order that the cotton problem may be
fully understood, it is necessary to consider the
figures not only on American production, but
the production in other countries as well. Back
in 1921 when the after-the-war boom started
to get under way, American farmers were
planting approximately 30000,0 900 acres to cot
ton. In other parts of the world production
totaled 100000 acres less, or approximately
100000 acres.
Gradually a surplus was built up which had
q depressing influence on cotton prices. and

over the plate Is strike" ball" If, as
the ball speeds by the batter, light is cast upon
it from below, it is to be regarded in all GER
tainty as having passed over the plate. The
umpire, bending low to get a worms eye view
of the sphere probably will have trouble in
deciding whether the ball was between the
batter's knees and shoulders as it went over
the plate. But another invention probably
will take care of that difficulty. The electric
motor and fan below the plates surface are
intended to draw air through a pipe, ending
in distant intake, and to force the air across
the tops OF the lenses to keep them cleared OF
dust.
Adding q radio to the underground equip
ment would make a fine little family circle
out Of the batter, the catcher and the umpire.
But that would be asking too much.
OTHER home plate inventions" include
~ device based on the roller towel principle,
which would provide a clean white covering OF
paper that would be held tightly against the
