This manner of carrying the field on out to It's proposed length appears to be working successfully, according to the distance the field is extended each day.

would now be in the very depths
of despair, the farm agent declared.
There would have been a large
crop and the price would have been
very low, probably lower than the
5 IL cents it had dropped to under
the Hoover administration" said
he. 'In fact, there may have been
no price at all, no demand for cot
ton because of the huge over-pro-
duction. But things are decidedly
different since the farmers got to-
gether and asked the government to
help them work out a control plan.
After all, it was the farmers who
did it. They made their allotmenrs,
set up their plan. The government
simply aided them. And it has alb
solutely saved the southern farmers
and with them the whole economic
structure"
In 1852 he pointed out, cotton
was bringing about $50 a bale and
seed about IS. Now it is bringing
SIS and upward, and since it was
raised on less acreage, the 1884
crop was produced at considerably
less expense. On top of that, land
not used for cotton is bringing in
other or is being inprov-
ed, he pointed out.

Beck and Miss Myrtle Griffith
sputtered and went out completely
in Squire T. L: Caudell's court here.
As a result, Beck faces trial at
the March term of Davie superior
court on charges of stealing his
former sweetheart's wrist watch.
Miss Griffith alleges that last
March, when they were keeping
company, Beck gave her a neck
lace as a token. of his love and that
she gave him her wrist watch. All
went along fine for a while; then
there was a spat; then they stopped
keeping company.

Return Double
That OF 1892
Phillips Finds Mecklen-
burgers Receiving More
On Third Less Acreage

Charlottesville farmers of
Mecklenburg county this fall will
receive double the amount of money
for their cotton produced On a third
less acres than were devoted to cot
ton in 1892, Oscar H. Phillips,
Mecklenburg farm agent, pointed
out in developing his theme that
the Bankhead cotton control act
has saved the: farmers of the south
and with them the entire economic
structure of the south.
"Mecklenburg farmers will re-
ceive approximately $1,3o0,oo0
for their 1884 cotton" said Mr..
Phillips, cas- against s65o,ooo in
1892. The cotton has been raised
on about. $4,000 acres, where in
1892 it took $4,000 acres to grow
a crop that brought in. just half the
mount this crop is bringing.
1.-The money cotton is bringing
is not the only thing of advantage,
either. Look at those $4,000 acres
released for other crops and for
general improvement of the land"
Mr., Phillips declared virtually
all the farmers are delighted with
the way the cotton program is
working out, although he admitted
there are some disgruntled cotton
growers who have charged that
the plan is now being Improperly
administered.
"Of course, there are some things
that must be worked out and of
course some mistakes will be made
in carrying out a program of this
sne," he declared, "but the pro-
gram is being administered fairly
and absolutely without regard to a
mans politics, color, religion or
anything else, just as fairly as I
know how to have it administered.
As far as | know, no p~artiality has
been shown, certainly none inten-
tionally, and if mistakes have been
made they can be and will be ad-
justed."

troll law been passed, the south
