/. NJ. Williams Heard
By Duranf Rotary Club
1893 Cotton Reduction
Program Explained
To Roturiuns

t. M. Williams, county agent, was
the principal speaker at a meeting
of the Durant Rotary Club Tuesday
at the Hotel Durant.
Mr.. Williams gave a detailed ac-
count of the 1888 Cotton Reduction
program as passed by the last Con-
gress, a matter that every Rotarian
was extremely interested in.
The speaker illustrated his talk
local producer and showing the re-
cord kept of his activities. In re-
viewing this particular producer he
showed where he was allotted %
acres to plant cotton in 1888 which
was thirty per cent of his total
cultivated acres. This farm had a
base of 80 acres from 1888 to 1887
with a yield of 203 pounds.
With these figures the subsidy Jay
ment was arrived at by multiplying
the yield by the base acres. Then
sixty per cent of this figure repre-
scented the production on which 8
cents per pound would be paid in
1888 by conforming to the allotment.
The 1888 payment was figured, he
stated. on the basis of a yield of 2T8
pounds which represented an increas-
ed production over the last five years
at the rate of "a cents per pound
multiplied by the % acres.
The soil conserving payment was
figured by taking one and one-half
times his allotment and s~ubtracting
this from his total cultivated acres
amounting to II. This difference
in acreage was then figured at 10
cents per acre which constituted his
total conservation payment.
To C this money the producer
was required to either plant legumes,
terrace land, plant black locust or
other trees or reseed pasture land.
The speaker showed the filing sys-
tenn used in his office arrangement
to keep up with the record Of the
226O producers in the county in Or
der that each record might be locat-
ed on a moments notice.
Mr.. Williams address greatly clar-
fled the program and it was mo-
roughly enjoyed by those present.
