COTTON SUBSIDY

Government farm experts are study

manufacturers who agree to turn out
cotton goods for sale at reduced prices

President Roosevelt already has di-

officials said, to invite leaders OF the
producing, marketing and manufactur-
ing sections of the cotton industry to
consider a program based on the do
mestic subsidy proposal at meeting
here soon.
Meanwhile, with an estimated sur

Smith Leads Fight.
Chairman Smith, Democrat, of
South Carolina of the Senate Agri-
culture Committee, leading the fight
for bigger loans. contends the South
will go bankrupt unless its cotton in
come is boosted. Production control
programs, under which the Federal
Government pays farmers for holding
down their cotton acreage, have not
prevented accumulation Of the huge
price-depressing surplus.
Administration leaders contend solu-
ton of the cotton problem depends
largely upon greater use of the staple
in this country. They have opposed
any increase in the loan rate on the
ground it would hold domestic prices
above the world level and thus dis
courage exports.
Confronted with possible loss of
American markets for wheat abroad
because of bumper world crops. the
administration recently inaugurated
an export subsidy program for that
grain. No similar action has been
undertaken, however, for cotton.
Indirect Subsidy.
Officials said that subsidized process
ing of cotton for relief and low income
groups might provide an outlet for
some of the 100000 bales of cotton
the Government is holding as COL
lateral for loans to producers. Sale
Of this cotton to manufacturers at less
than the market price would subsidize
them indirectly, it was explained, and
permit distribution of the finished
products to the needy at low prices.
Officials said adoption of the subsidy
program also would benefit idle textile
workers.

Stockholders
OF State Bank
Get Dividend
is RARE INSTANCE IN
HISTORY OF CLOSED
BANKS IN STATE

Stockholders in the State Bank
and Trust company of Redwood
Falls which closed February 6,
1888 received a nine per cent
dividend Saturday. 1t is believed
to be the first payment to stock
holders of a closed bank in the
state, with the possible exception
of a Brown county institution.
J. F. Knudson, A. R. A. Laudon
and L. E. Backer as liquidators
distributed $7,560 among go or 70
stockholders. One man who
bought out the holdings of two
heavy stockholders received a
check of about $4,000.
There are still 100 acres of land
and $4,000 to $4,000 additional as
sets which will be liquidated for
distribution some time in the fut-
ure.
Depositors in the bank have
been paid 100 per cent, the last
payment being made in June
1887. The state banking depart
ment still has between $4,000 and
$1,000 for distribution in inter-
est to depositors. Because of the
infrequency of such occasions, it
is not known how interest win be
distributed, but it is believed that
holders of certificates of deposit
in the institution will be paid
first.
