Washington.-The sharp advance
in the price of cotton during last
week, bringing it within the 1885
cents range, stiffened the price of
cotton textiles throughout the
Piedmont region, the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics announced
in a weekly summary of conditions
in the cotton textile market.
Generally, inquiries for raw cot
ton from domestic mills were nu-
merous and the volume of purchases
increased slightly despite the con-
tinued scarcity of available supplies
of the medium to higher grades
needed for immediate use.
Forwardings to domestic mills
were somewhat larger than in the
preceding week and larger than the
average for the corresponding
weeks in the three preceding years.
Forwardings Of $4,000 bales for
the season to June 26 were about
2S per cent greater than for the
corresponding period last season and
II per cent larger than in the cor
responding period in 1884. The
sharp increase in forwardings to
domestic mills this season was due

Food And Feed
Quotas Raised
Farms With Less-Than-
Normal d
Can Increase Soil-De-
pleting Crops.
(By Jesse S. Coutrell)

Washington, July 1.-The Ag-
ricultural Adjustment administra-
ton announced today that the soil
conservation program for the east
central and southSn States, in
GLIDING the Carolinas, has been
modified in an effort to increase
the production of food and feed
crops in drought areas.
On farms where the production
of food and feed crops is less than
normal in 1886 because of the
drought or other unfavorable
weather conditions, farmers may
grow all the food and feed neces-
sary 70 bring their production up
to normal without affecting pay
ments, provided they comply with
other requirements of the program.
For example, a producer On a
farm which had a general soil-de-
pleting base of 100 acres might
have an acreage in 1886 of crops in
the soil-depleting base of more than
100 acres and yet receive payment
for diversion from the soil-deplet-
ing base for cotton, tobacco, or
peanuts, for carrying out soil
building practices, if the excess
acreage was necessary to offset the
loss in food and feed crops because
of the drought. The program orr
ginally provided for deductions Of
the acreage in general soil-depleting
crops in 1886 exceeded the general
soil-depleting base for the farm.
The producer, however, would
not receive payment for diversion
from his general soil-depleting base
if the planting of food and feed
crops, other than annual grasses,
small grains and sorghums, result
ed in a general soil-depleting acre
age equal to or in excess of his gen
eraf base.
1he notifications in the conser-I
vation program relate to any farm
in the regions to which they ap-
ply where county committees deter
mine that unusual weather condi-
tons have reduced the prospective
production of food and feed crops
below normal.
The general base is, roughly
speaking, the average paintings in
the past of all crops except those
like cotton, tobacco, and peanuts,
which have special bases that are
also determined by past paintings.
Reports from the South and
Southeast" said J. B. Hutson, act
ing administrator, indicate that
there is a deficit in food and feed
crops in drought sections and that
this is particularly true of hay and
forage crops. If rain falls, there is
still time to plant sorghums, cow
peas, sudan grass, other grasses and
legumes, sweet potatoes and fall
vegetables. Some rain, however, is
necessary for the revision to accom-
plish real results.

other drought areas + under con-
sideration."
