For Reciprocal Trade

Memphis, Tenn, Jan.-The Cotton
Belt must stand solidly behind Sec

ston, President of the National Cot

of the cotton industry.
Painting a dark picture of the
long-run prospects for exports to Eu

ed to South America as Prospect No.
1 for future markets, but said the
United States can't sell more to it's
southern neighbors without buying
more from them.
Warning nations of Europe and the
Orient are consuming less cotton
than they use in peace-time, and
Allied naval policy is interfering
with American shipping to neutral
ports. he observed. There may be
n the Allied threat to ration
American exports to neutral countries,
than a desire to forestal re-shipment
to Germany, he said. The Allies
may also be thinking of protecting
themselves from increased foreign
production while their own textile
operations are curtailed by the war
With state socialism now domi-
nant in the Eastern Hemisphere, the
speaker questioned whether nations
would return t o normally" in their
trade relations after the war. In
stead he feared continued trade re-
strictions and subsidies which would
keep down American exports to Eu-
rope and Asia permanently.
Gt was thought that United States
exports to South America would

been largely frustrated by the diff

Changes Effected In
Federal Farm Setup
Emphasis On Sol.
Conservation In
New Program

How recent changes in Federal
farm programs should help Holmes
county farmers attain conservation
of the soil, forest, and human Re
of the state was explained
today by I. w. Carson, county agent
The changes, announced recently
by Secretary of Agriculture Henry A.
Wallace, call for more emphasis on
conservation in all land-use programs
of the Department Of Agriculture
and for closest coordination with
state efforts along that line

agricultural conservation program.
The 1910 AAA farm program is de-
signed to give farmers In the South
ern Region a greater opportunity
for building WORKOUT, eroded land
and for retiring that acreage not suit
able for cultivation to timber and
pasture.
The 1910 rates of payment for
soilbuilding practices place added
emphasis on such practices as the
seeding of winter legumes, planting
Of farm trees, establishment and Inn
provement of pastures. application
Of hme and phosphate, seeding OF
approved green-manure and ove
crops, and construction and mainte-
nance OF terraces.
Rates Of payment for certain prac-
tees are normally carried out on a
large scale proportion Of farms have
been lowered, which will mean that
to arm the same sodllbuilding al
lowance as in 1889, farmers must
either plant more of these crops OF
adopt additional soil-buiIding prac-
tees. That is expected to increase
conservation badly needed. while
maintaining the practices normally
carried out.
Under the new provision which al
lows any farm a special $50 payment
for planting trees. many farmers in
Mississippi are expected to improve
their farms by planting more trees.
Establishment of a $40 minimum pay

farm should further enable small
farmers to carry out more ~soil-build.

Tiny British Colony Near
Florida Coast Awaits
New Governor

NASSAU, Bahamas, July 11.-(R
This tiny British colony, recovered
from the first surprise of the Duke
of Windsor's appointment as COVER
nor.general, specialized today on the
permanent effect on the Bahamas
political life and tourist industry.
'The announcement Of this ap-
pointment sent a great surge OF
excitement over the community and
the general reception of the news
was a feeling of jubilation," said
the Nassau Daily Tribune in an
editorial.
To-day, however, the community
is asking itself many questions.
What are the diplomatic implica-
tons of this move? How will it at
feet the political and industrial life
Of the colony? Is the government
house good enough for him? Will
the legislature and press lose any
Of their rights to criticize h Chief
executive of the colony during his
tenure of Officer"
AS Bahaman governor, responsible
only to the colonial office, the for
mer British king will not have to
worry about local opinion.
The Bahamas legislature, which
has been in existence for 212 years,
is onee of the few in the empire
with power to dictate internal fl
~nancing, subject to the governors
veto. The colony has no income or
land taxes, which probably accounts
mainly for an influx of wealthy i'm
migrants during recent years.
The legislature has held tradition
ally to import duties as the most
equitable method Of taxation. Since
virtually everything here is import
ed, the evy amounts to a general
| sales tax.
