example: II q farm has established

would be entitled to a subsidy on
40 bales, regardless of the amount
produced ON that farm.

cd Method OF marketing cotton
"A farmer I'm marketing his cot
ton would sell all produced on his
farm in the open market. just as
he does today and at the end OF
the fiscal year (Aug. ID the fed
eral government would pay a SUBJ
sidy on that portion Of his pro-
duction domeStically consumed,
the amount OF subsidy to represent
the difference In parity price" an
ncunced by the Secretary OF Agri-
culture and the daily average
price or ten designated spot mar
kets. on the grade and staple Of
cotton for which the farmer re-
ceives a subsidy. The parity price
or subsidy to be paid only on the
domestic consumption percentage
OF the established production basis
The proposed subsidy would In
effect be an inverted tariff, ex-
tending TO agriculture benefits sim
liar to those received by manufac-
turers through the operation OF inn
port tariffs.
The establishment Of a production
basis on each farm and placing OF
the farmer In a position 70 equitably
participate In the part parity price
benefits would be optional with the
farmer. not compulsory, and those
farmers not desiring TO have their
production basis established. SO that
they NAV receive a subsidy, would
be unmolested and left with all
their rugged individualism" and
personal liberties which they en-
Joy today, and have the same mar
ket for their products they enjoy
today and have enjoyed In the past.
The money with which to pay the
cotton farmer a subsidy on parity
price would be collected by the
federal government through q pro-
ceSSing tax such al nov in exis-
tence.
To protect American spinners. a
compensatory flexible tariff would
be employed similar to the tariffs
now being used TO protect other
American industries.
The plan requires no appropria-
ton OF federal funds; It's admins
tration would be inexpensive and
self supporting.
American spinners converting
cotton into cloth to be sold In for
eign markets, would not be required
TO pay the processing tax. Such
cotton would be spun under bond.

Hold Foreign Market

The plan was first formulated
by y. r. Mcdonald. state commits
sioner Of agriculture, and Francis
y. Clair OF washington, a member
Of the board appointed BY Pres
ident Roosevelt to study the pro-
blems OF agriculture.
Congressman Marvin Jones OF
Texas, chairman OF the House
Agricultural committee, has an
nounced that he would favor O
substitute plan for the present
agricultural program and II en-
bodies the Clair-McD Donald plan.
With some needle dchanges 1t would
be referre dto az the Jones bill
since II would be introduced by the
Texan.
The plan provides that q subsidy
be paid farmers on those products
consumed on the home market. all
surplus products going 20 the world
market at the world price. thereby
holding the farmers foreign mar
ket.
Sponsors OF the new legislation
claim that 1t will keep renters from
relief rolls. increase employment,
restore foreign markets and speed
recovery. It would not prevent
continuation OF the voluntary acre
age reduction program with benefit
payments to farmers.
A synopsis or the plan follows:
Cd Establish production basis
A local committe or federal en-
ployes to contact each cotton farm
err for the purpose OF establishing
a cotton production basis on each
farm. which production basis VIII
IN effect, be permanent. Commit
tees 10 20 on farms with farmer
and estimate what would be aver
age annual cotton production on
the farm. produced under Ia safe,
sound, diversified farming system;
and when the committee and farm
er have agreed (as they did In the
plow up campaign as TO the aver
age annual production OF Gotten
on the farm that same be record
ed with the department OF agr1-
culture and county clerk. This
basis 10 be used In alloting TO
each farm its equitable pro-rate
In the American market and the
amount Of cotton entitled TO the
parity price, as now provided for
in the Agricultural Adjustment
Act.
