COTTON SUBSIDY
SEEN AS MOVE
TO SLASH CROP
Output on AAA Level
In '34-'35 Indicated

Q.N.S). An agricultural Ad-
ministration move to put cotton
production back on the AAA level
Of 1884 and 1885 was seen today
in regulations announced for pay
ments Of a $3.50, OOO, 900 subsidy on
the years crop.
The subsidy, announced with
the plans for the 9-cents-per.pound
maximum loan, provided that pay
mentS would be made on IS per
cent of the producers base acre
age for 1897, provided the pro-
ducer agrees to comply with the
1888 agricultural program, which
depends upon the promised gen.
eral farm legislation at the next
session Of Congress.
BASE PRODUCTION
The base production fixed by
the AAA for the 1887 crop was
16,300,000 bales. Actual produc.
ton estimated by the Crop Re.
porting Board, based on condi-
tions as Of August /, is expected
to be 1880, 900 bales.
SiXty-five per cent Of the base
production Of 16,300,000 bales,
would be 10,595,000 bales. Cotton
production under the AAA pro-
duction control program, which
was held unconstitutional by the
Supreme Court on January g.,
1895, was 9.636,000 bales in 1884,
and 10,638. 900 bales in 1885.
The AAA program did not take
effect in 1888, but the "plow
under" program of one-third Of
the cotton crop reduced actual
harvesting to 13,047,000 bales.
When the Supreme Court
knocked out the production con-
troll program, and the present soil
conservation program was sub
stituted, cotton production again
began to climb.
ABOVE AVERAGE
Last year it was IL, 407, 900 bales,
despite a severe drought which
was particularly severe in the
Carolinas and Texas. This year
the 1880, 000-bale indicated pro-
duction is higher than the aver
age for the five-year pre-Roosevelt
period, 1882.
A big reduction in United States
cotton exports since 1929, with
big increases in production in In
dia, Egypt. China, and South
America, has been one Of the chief
arguments Of the AAA and the
Department Of Agriculture under
Secretary Wallace for reduced pro
duction.
Under the ever.normal granary
plan urged by Secretary wallace
at the last session Of Congress,
and providing the keynote for the
Administrative program before the
next session, restriction Of cotton
production to an average Of be-
tween 100000 and 1000, 900
bales is considered the probable
aim, in view Of the AAA program.

Skin Injections Give Rapid Action
Many drugs and other (toxic)
substances when injected by n.y.
podernic needle into the real skin
itself, have. a far more rapid action
than when injected beneath the
skin or into the blood stream. In
many instances they have peculiar
effects entirely different from
those produced by their presence in
the blood. A drug which when
taken by mouth or injected IN the
bloodstream simply causes sweat
ing, will, when injected into the
skin itself, cause an extensive
eruption and Vomiting.
Thus the play of air and sun
over the skin produces changes in
the small blood vessels, flooding
sorAe areas, emptying others, and
this circulatory massage stlmu-
lates the heart and through 1t, az
the internal organs. Chemical re-
actions in the blood occur and
elimination is stimulated.
Perhaps others of our summer
activities are instinctively based
on a subconscious primitive knowl-
edge of our bodily needs. "Vomit-

AT. G. f. DISPUTE
TAKEN TO COURT
Interior Department Lodge
Sues 0usted Official to
Recover Records.

The factional troubles Of Interior
Department Lodge of the American
Federation of Government Employees
got into District Court late yesterday
when the lodge, through officers just
elected by majority group, filed suit
for possession of funds and records Of
the organization.
The plaintiff officers, Edwin NJ
Duerbeck, president; Darcy McNickla,
vice president, and Helen Hurd, secre-
tary-treasurer, asked the court to re-
quire Eugenia E. Miller, as former
secretary-treasurer, to turn over to
them the the funds and books.
Through Attorney Howard c. West
wood they told the court that on Oc-
tober the lodge voted to remove her
from Office and elected Miss Hurd in
her place. The same day, they
charged, she withdrew from the bank
all except about 81 of their $3.50 ac-
count and now refuses to give up either
the funds or the books, threatening to
turn both over to certain other per-
sons who are not and have never been
members 70 the lodge"
Westwood explained that late last
month the lodge voted to return its
charter to the A. F. G. E., an Ameri-
can Federation of Labor affiliate, and
authorized committee to study how
their A. F. G. E. affiliation was to be
terminated. At the same time, West
wood said, the lodge voted to recall all
Its officers.
He said new officers including the
three plaintiffs were elected at meet
ing October l when the committee ap-
pointed at the September session rec
commended referendum in which the
membership was to decide whether
the lodge should stay in the A. F. G. E..
become an independent organization
or apply to the c. I. o. group for a
charter. The lodge minority, with
George E. Warren as president, refuses
to recognize the acts of the other fac
ton.

Crop Yields
ToBeHigh

G.N.S) The earth was gener-

expected to average about 81 per
cent higher than during the 1923.

estimates of the crop reporting
board.
The yields will be about "a per
cent above the very low average
Of the last four years.
Including the exceptionally
heavy yield of cotton, the COM
posite of prospective yields of all
crops, at 114.1 per cent of aver.
age, is markedly higher than in
any recent year, the board said.
Even in 1920, the year of heaviest
total crop production, yields were
only 110.3 per cent of average.
The board said this seasons
high yields, particularly those of
cotton and fruits, were due
primarily to weather conditions.
The two major crops, corn and
wheat, show these results: Corn

crop will amount to about $685.

FINANCING FARM
PROGRAM LAID
IN CONGRESSLAP
Wallace Refuses to Seek
Means to Pay Bill
By FREDERICK N. POLANGIN

By FREDERICK N. POLANGAN
dN.S0-Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Wallace today left the
problem of financing the admin
istration's ambitious agriculture
programme. one must" item on
the special session agenda-at
Congress doorstep.
Agriculture and Congressional
experts were divided on the prob
able cost of financing the pro-
posed ever-normal granary and
surplus control plans and Wallace
has refused to venture an esti-
mate.
Tip TO CONGRESS"
"I don't think we can make
any precise estimate of what
it would COST" Wallace said.
1T is up to Congress to devise
means of financing the general
provisions Of whatever farm
program is adopted"
The House Agriculture Com
mittee, which indicated its bill
may not be ready for Congress
by Monday, when Congress con-
venes, is of the opinion that the
program would cost about $780,
100000 a year. This is $250,O00,-
900 more than is being spent at
present.
Members Of the House COM
mittee are advancing the argu-
ment that processing taxes must
be levied to finance the pro-
gram but Wallace stated bluntly
that this was not his affair. He
made it plain he would play no
pa1t in the battle expected to be
precipitated over what type OF
tax should be levied.
GROUP is SPLIT
Members Of the Agriculture
Committee strained every effort to
find q common ground on whether
to make the program compulsory
or optional-in its entirety or IN
part, or a hybrid of both.
And, meanwhile, the committee
was split over what House COM
mittee should handle the proposed
$25O,000,000 of processing taxes
which it deems necessary. Yes
terday, Chairman Jones D0 Of
Texas, Of the Agricultural Com
mittee, and Chairman Doughton
CD Of North Carolina, of the
Ways and Means Committee, con-
ferred with members of their re-
Spective committees on the ques-
ton but came to no agreement.
COURT QUESTION
At the bottom of the differences
was the question Of whether or
not the chances Of the Supreme
Court validating the new farm
program would be enhanced if it
was divorced from the tax pro-
visions. Members recalled the
court, in invalidating the AAA,
held processing taxes were part
and parcel Of the entire control
program.
Whiles Jones disclosed legal ad-
viSers Of his committee will study
this phase Of the problem, Dough
ton indicated the ways and means

take the task Of thrashing out the
