Cotton Stamp
Plan Outlined

Washington, Feb. 7.--(AP)-The
agriculture departments lon G.
heralded stamp plan Of distributing
cotton products to the needy will be
inaugurated eXperimental'y in live
to 10 cities within six weeks.
Secretary. Wallace outlined de-
tails today and expressed the opin-
ion that the plan might be extended
to nationwide basis later, par
ticularly should the European wal
cu.tail exports of cotton and cause
surpluses to increase again.
Cities in which the program WI!
be tried were not announced. Wal
lace said, however. that they Waul !
be chosen from the A in which
the stamp plan for distributing sur
plus food is in operation.
Like the food stamp system. the
cotton program will utilize regular
trade channels. Eligible families
will receive purchasing power, in
the form of stamps, good for the
purchase of cotton products at regu-
lar stores.
They will be given an opportunity
to buy cotton stamps in an amount
approximately equal to their pres
ent expenditures for cotton goods.
For each dollars worth of stamps
bought, they will receive dollars
worth free. Relief agencies and the
agriculture department will redeem
the stamps from stores.

Alarnance
Leads In Crop
Rotations

College Station, Raleigh, Feb. T.
Alamance county leads the State in
crop rotations, one of the best
methods Of building and maintaining
soil fertility, says E. c. Blair, agron-
omist of the State College Extension
Service
Among the farmers obtaining eX-
cellent results from this system are:
Milo Pace, R. B. TroXler, ]. n.
Reid, w. R. Guthrie, George Bcale,
J. Webb Lindley, J. Fl. Phillips, W.
B. Brooks, and J. G. Guthrie.
AS an illustration of how this
simple and inexpensive program of
soil conservation works. Agrono-
mist Blair said that Mr.. Pace's farm
near Snow Camp in the southern
part of Alamance county was laid
off by the County Agent in 1882
into three fields Of &c, 80 and SO
acres, respectively.
A three-year rotation was started,
consisting Of corn, wheat. and a
mixture Of red clover and lcsredeza.
The rotation has made two COM
plete rounds, and began on the third
round last year. In other words.
each field grew the same crop in
1889 that it grew in 1888, the first
year Of the rotation.
In 1893 corn was on the 33-acre
field, and the total yield was $50
bushels, or 1877 bushels par arrn.
In 1889 the same field made 100
bushels of corn, or 1873 bushels per
acre, exactly the 1888 Weld.
Thirty acres of what made 81
bushels in 1888, or 10.5 bushels Pei
acre. The same so acres made 45c
bushels Of wheat in 1899, at the rate
of Is bushels per acre.
BY the same system. Mr.. TroT-
Ter raised his corn yield from l2
bushels to 40 bushels per acre, and
in one round Mr.. Reid increased ri
corn yield from Is bushels per acre
to 80 bushels per acre, and his Wi?ca
yield from Is TO 23.5 bushels %.

entrance hazard is being eliminated
and at Wilson the reconstruction
is going well. There is a possibility,
however, that we may not be able
to use the Wilson auditorium until
few days after school starts
Toughest job in the valley was
on the shoulders of Brawley's gram
mar school superintendent, con-
fronted after the earthquake with
only ten rooms that could be safely
occupied in the entire school build
ing system. Temporary structures
are being thrown up on school prop
erty that will take care of the en-
ergency until plans are developed
for building permanently.
Nine temporary rooms have been
built at Ruth Reid school with
wash rooms and an office building,
IA are located at Barbara Worth
school property with waShrooms
and offices and IA more are located
at the Hidalgo school. The rooms
are of wood construction and will
be quite safe and comfortable, An
derson said.
Contract to be Let
Meanwhile. a contract was slated
to be let for repair of the Witter
school building. Six temporary
school rooms will be occupied there
until the building has been made
safe. The Witter building is virtual
~ the only grammar school build
ing that doesn't have to be demolish-
ed. The Barbara Worth building
must be demolished completely.
Hidalgo and Reid must come down,
also. but the foundations and floors
may be salvaged.
Razing was expected to start
Monday.
Superintendent Homer F. Aker
at Imperial reported that the ad-
ministration building at the high
school will be finished by Friday.
Porticos on the east, south and west
have been strengthened with steel
and all brick work near entrances
has been removed and replaced with
stucco. Work on the mechanical
arts building, too, will be ready
for school opening.
The Roosevelt grammar school is
ready for occupancy, as we'll as the
Lincoln and Dunbar school build
ings, although there will be some
repair work that will continue be-
yond Monday. This will not mater
tally interfere with class schedules

Aker SAID.
1t was too early Thursday for E,

He did. however, anticipate steady

Hiteman said. IF field crops are
good and many transient workers

dren, our average daily attendance

Last year the average daily at
tendance in the grammar schools

leges. Many more pupils than these,
however, were in classes during

Wendell WiIIkie
CONTINUED FROM Page u

tOOnJlnuPO fTOln rage II
There was a moments silence and
then the roar of the crowd shook the
stands.
WILKES personality was stronger
than his voice. His voice, hoarse
from much campaign talking, had
nevertheless lost the strained quail
ity of the early part of his drive
But it still was not the voice of a
trained platform man. He appeared
eager to get over his ideas to his
listeners, anxious and willing to dis
cuss national affairs, in a CONVEX
sational manner, rather than in the
manner of man making a speech.
The whole meeting in the ball
park was extremely informal. One
as though for ball game to begin,
the next minute Willkie was speak
ing. There was little fanfare at
the park.
Most amazing was WILKES rapid
lty of thought. Heckling, of which
there was a good deal, left him
absolutely unruffled. He answered
two hecklers without a pause in
such speed that it startled the heck
lers as well as the audience. Shouts
of I'VE Want Roosevelt were heard
from time to time, frequently drown
ed out by answering chants of I'VE
Want Willkie". But they didn't ap-
pear to bother the nominee Even
q factory whistle that let loose a
blast during his speech failed to
jar him.
Willkie stayed after most of the
crowd had gone. He spoke briefly
TO war veterans who had been called
from the stands and then was driv.
en- back to his special train.
1t was impossible to estimate how
many Imperial Valley folk were
present to hear the first presidential
candidate in "a years to visit Cali
fornia during a campaign. They
were sprinkled through the crowd.
Some travelled to San Diego in a
special bus but the bulk drove over
in their own cars and returned early
Thursday.
After the address as he drove out
of the ball park many citizens fol-
lowed him, running alongside the
car. They crowded for a closer
glimpse at him. One rotund chap
shouted:
I'm going to get a good look at
that guy if I have to run myself
bow-legged!"
Imperial Valley press., 1940-09-19

The exact questions on the reg
istration forms have not yet been
made public but they were expected
to be similar to those on the old
form. That form called only for
name. address, cate of birth, en-
ployer's name and address, citizen
ship status and name of persons
always knowing the registramt's
address, plus a short physical des-
cription.
The reason for asking the states
to print the registration cards, was
an experience of the selective SER
vice board during the World War.
A carload of registration forms was
sent to a western state. 1t became
