COTTON PRICES
MAKES BIG JUMP

The governments estimate
that only 2S,024,C0O acres of
cotton are in cultivation gave
the market its sharpest price
stimulus in months by fixing
igure a million acres under pri-
sate estimation.
This coupled with concern
over the dry weather in the
w stern section of. the cotton
belt, started a rush of buying
orders that brought early gains
of around 50 a bale. The in
crease for the day averaged ap-
proximately S1.75.
Secretary Wallace made no
formal comment, but Gully A.
Cobb, head of the cotton pro-
duction section, said he was
tremendously pleased"
Cobb credited both the vol
untary production control cam
paign, which aimed at limiting
cotton acreage this year to 25,-
000,00 acres, and the Bank
head compulsory cotton con-
troll bill with making our eff
fort to curtail production sue
cess in every practical sense"
Cobb said many farmers, ex-
pecting passage of the. Bank
head bill, had joined in the
voluntary reduction effort in
order not TO be penalized by
the compulsory measure.
Officials said the acreage this
year was the smallest planted
since 1905, when 27,1l0000
acres were harvested, yielding
10,757, 900 bales.
But the 1905 average yield
was 1866 lint pounds per acre
as compared to the average of
l73 9 for the 1928-32 period.
A 1879 yield this year
would result in approximately
10, 1885, 900 bales, or 265,OOO
bales below the 10,460,25l hales
which may be produced tax free
under the Bankhead act.
This law levies a tax of 30
per cent of the market value on
all cotton produced and sold
this year in excess of the 10
460.251 bales.

COOPERATION FOR
THE FARMERS

The principal reason for the
existence OF the farm coopera-
tiyes is to benefit their members
by stabilizing markets and rais-
ing prices to levels where pro-
ducers are able to make a rcas-
enable profit.
At the same time the public
at large obtains just about as
many benefits from successful
agricultural cooperation as do
the farmers themselves.
No one gains when agricult-
ure is prohless. The farm is
the greatest single market in
normal periods for the products
Of our factories---the great bulk
OF urban industrial workers can
trace their employment directly
or indirectly TO the farm con
sumner.
a constant supply Of agricult-
ural goods Is essential TO our
national llfe--and when mark
cts are disorganized, and when
prices are in the basement. the
farmer IS unable to efficiently
keep the great machinery Of
production and distribution GO
lng.
The thinking public is sohdly
behind the cooperative move
ment. and a wide measure OF
the success il has achieved in
the face OF great obsticals, may
be attributed to that. Urban
and rural groups have the same
objcctiyes. and they must pull
together for the common vel
fare.

CREATED
MANY PROBLEMS BUT
REPEAL DID NOT HELP

Prohibition created many
problems. Among them were
growth OF lawlessness. an in
crease IN drinking among many
classes of society. Repeal Of
prohibition was, according to
the hopeful, expected to do
away with the bootlegger, less
en- drinking of hard liquor.
1t hasn't done that. Accord
ing to observers, the bootlegger
continues to supply close to
half OF the nations drinkers.
And, as reports from police de-
partments show, drunkenness
and allied misdemeanors are on
the increase.
The result is that conscien-
tious vets" are worried, are
seeking TO find solution to the
new problems that have come
with repeal. They know that
If present affairs continue, 1t is
almost certain that the country
will once more vote for national
prohibition. There is every
reason to believe that many per-
sons who voted to repeal the
18th amendment, in the hope
that it would end once and for
all grave national issue, would
vote dry" now. A few weeks
ago North Dakota voted on the
liquor question---and two voters
out OF three were against legal
izing the sale of liquor.
Consequently, the liquor
problem is up in the air, and
both sides are getting ready to
do battle. One great trouble Is
the lack of uniformity in state
laws---in one state there are
commonwealth owned liquor
stores, while across the border
bars run wide open, The Fed
eral government has no iurlsdic-
ton over liquor, save IN the
matters of tax evasion and pro-
tecting dry states.
Still another problem is pre-
sented by the quality of re
peal liquor Bonded whIskey
exceedingly expensive, about
seven dollars a quart. Most OF
the blends now on the market
are a poor grade, many believe
them to be inferior to pre-re-
peal moonshine. The public
has been skeptical, and has
bought much less legal liquor
than was anticipated.
