AAA ATTEMPTS TO
LIFT COTTON PRICE
Buying Cottonseed Oil In
Effort To Strengthen
Prices of Seed
Daily Dispatch Bureaus
I'm the Sir Walter Hotter.

Raleigh, Oct. 16-Buying cottonseed
oil in an attempt to strengthen cotton
seed prices in the face of one OF the
largest cotton crops on record mas
been announced by the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration.
AS in the peanut and potato dlvl-
sion programs, the Federal Surplus
Commodities Corporation will direct
the buying, according to report re-
ceived by Dean l. O. Schaub of State
College.
The program has been designed to
aid cotton farmers through the di-
verting of cottonseed oil from nor
NAL commercial channels. Both crude
and refined oil will be purchased I'M
der the program and manufactured
into shortening for distribution by
State relief agencies to needy citizens.
Cotton farmers are receiving less for
Their cottonseed this year than in
any year since 1915, with the excep-
ton of the depression years 1881 to
1883. The average price received in
September was $19.25 a ton while the
."n~""e price in 1886 was $3541 and.
in 1885 $31.19.
The estimated cotton crop of IT,
$4,000 bales this year is expected to
yield approximately $4,000 tons of
cottonseed and approximately 1885,
100000 pounds of cottonseed oil. The
average production during the ten
year period 1926 was 1,468,000,O00
pounds, the report stated.
Prices to be paid and the quantities
to be purchased are being considered
by AAA and FSCC officials.
Through the purchase program, we
hope to increase returns to producers
from their cottonseed," F. r. Wilcox,
director of the Division of Marketing
and Marketing Agreements, said
Many cotton farmers depend for
their fall cash income almost entirely
upon returns from the sale of their
cottonseed," Wilcox continued cal
though stocks and indicated produc-
ton of other fats and oils do not ap-
pear to be excessive, large market
;ngs of cottonseed, due to the bumper
crop, have driven prices to low levels.
"The program will divert cotton
seed oil from regular commercial
channels and increase consumption
by persons who otherwise would not
use the products of cottonseed oil"
Plans for buying cottonseed oil in
North Carolina will be announced
shortly, Dean Schaub said.

Governor burlington advised the build
ing of a port on Roanoke Island In
1921 Governor Cameron Morrison
through the legislature submitted a
proposition to vote of the citizens of
the State for a port terminal at More
head City This proposition failed,
however, through the federal govern
ment the port terminal has been de-
yeloped.
g From 1912, when $4,000 was ap-
propriated for drainage of Lake Mat
tamuskeet, to 1860, a total sum OF
S2o0,6O was expanded on swamp
territory projects. The returns from
this large expenditure amounted 70
only $22,294.69.
4. The Constitution of 1876 provided
for the department, and it was estab-
!lShed by the legislature in 1871. The
bill providing for the department was

Hartford, Conn. A failure as law
yer, he turned to textbook writing.
Twenty million copies Of one OF ms
spelling-book writing. Twenty MIL

were sold before he died. The royal

during the 20 years he was at work

languages. Eight of them he taught
himself within five years!
1793-Marie Antoinette, 38-year-old
Austrian-born queen of the French
lost her head in the guillotine. The
plans that had been made to spirit her
away to the United states, to hiding
place arranged for her at North Edge

in jail when her head pumped from
the knife was Marquis Peltier, who
bad been imprisoned seven years be-
fore for whistling disrespectfully in
her presence. He remained in Jail an.
ether 43 years.
1910-Waster Wellman with five
companions and a cat mascot, left
Atlantic City in an airship in what
has been enormously referred to as
the first attempt to cross the Allan

IT.' By. "A
kIdTncSHS@eIl

New York, Oct. 16.-This town was
always the oyster of anyone with
dramatic skill and something lively to
say. But opportunity is so ripe right
now for a Grade A dramatist that it
is likely to fall off the tree unless
plucked soon.
The season is young, but not toe
young for portents. Evidently we are
in for a session of talk drama un-
equalled since the reign of Elizabeth
Even Ben Hecht, who knew how to
get action into his scripts once rpon
time, has now succumbed, under
the auspices of the tonily sociological
Theater Guild, to turn with the bel
lows at that windiest of all contro-
versies, the Fascist glib
oerish.
On the other hand the new reel-out
of plays has presented us with a kind
of talk only slightly less &omnolent
than the brand deplored above. This
is the whoop-and whimsy classified
tion-vide French Without Tears" s
play chiefly notable for English &C
cents so broad that the speech woult
be scarcely ineligible to residen'
of Hertfordshire-Hants and only
sounds normal to the ears of Holly
wood stars five years removed from
the Bronx. Plays on this order always
involve young men lolling in blazers
and gals in shorts who tote tenni'
rackuets or stage and off, with the big
laughs of the evening dependant on
epigrams so frail and Elusive tina:
they flutter like butterflies from the
lips of the characters, conveying the
vague conviction that you have heard
them somewher else before, probably
in the Stork Club or in an Alex WOOL
colt broadcast.
That's two kinds of talkinass. The
other kind, 1 fear, is worse than eth
er. 1t is demonstrated to perfection
in 1.-THE Star Wagon Maxwell An
derson's monthly play (is it twenty
seven or twenty-eight he has written
so far?)) Here the emphasis is or
philosophical speculation with dis
turbing paucity of fresh ideas. In his
preceding opus, which, / believe, was
"Wingless Victory" Mr.. Anderson
startled readers of Joe Hergesheimer's
Java Head with a highly YER. ose
and fiercely poetic reminder; in "The
Star Wagon" he is even more YER
bosely, if less POLITICALLY, reminiscent
of Berkeley Square" and "Ah, Wild
erness." | think I prefer Ben Hecht
and his efforts to kid the Envy Trust
VS.. the Corporate State, while making
it plain he prefers the former.
So the profession of playwriting
ought to be a pushover for any young
man who comes along with an iota OF
talent and a desire to write drama
rather than dialogue. We were talked
almost to death last season in the
theater and TINS year we have already
had the ether cone of CAB placed firm
ly on our schnozzolas. There ought te
be someone around with one-fourtf
the ability of the early Vaughan, ont
half the ability of the early Phi''ir
Barry or one-third the ability OF thS
early S. N. Behrman.
