Al Cotton Acreage
Will Be Reduced
Voluntarily
Stamps Will Be Given
For Planting Less
Thor l94l Quote

Plans to explain the supplement
| tary cotton acreage reduction pro-
gram to every farmer in Mississippi
were announced here today by +.
H. White, director of extension at
| Mississippi State College, who said
that county agents. vocational tea
| cheers and AAA committeeman are
| holding community meetings in many
| counties of the state.
As recently announced by Secre-
sary of Agriculture Claude r. Wick
ard, the supplementary cotton pro-
| grom provides for voluntary reduc-
ton of cotton acreage below the
1941 acreage allotments. Cooperat-
ing farmers will receive stamps for
| planting less than their 1941 allot-
ments or their 1910 measured acre.
| age, whichever is lower, at the rate
Of 10 cents a pound times the normal
yield Of the underplanted acreage,
up to SIS per family in the case of
s~harecroppers, tenants, and owner
| operators. Owners of more than n
farm or of a farm operated by. more
than one tenant may qualify up to
$50 worth of the stamps, based upon
| their share Of the crop, Director
White said.
The extension director said the
supplemental program is expected to
effect a reduction in cotton produc-
ton for 1941 of around l million
bales. The program will enable pro-
ducers to increase production of food
and feed for home consumption and
would further increase consumption
of cotton goods, Director White ex-
planned.
The program will be administered
by the AAA. and the Surplus Mar
keting Administration will provide
SIS, 000, 900 worth of cotton stamps
as payments to farmers for their
voluntary cotton acreage reduction.
The cotton stamps, which farmers
will receive as compensation for
further voluntary acreage reduction
can be used only for the purchase
Of cotton goods.

Mattress Applications
Will Be Taken Soon
Center Will Be Set
Up In Lexington;
New Plan Sturted

S:rce many farmers o. Holmes
County will be interested in getting
mattresses in 1941 and that several
have been inquiring as to when they
can file an application, | wish to
advise that applications will be TAX
EN- in the various communities of
the county during the months of
February and March. The farmers
will be notified when and where
these applications will be taken.
The plan of making mattresses this
year will be quite different from
the plan used in 1910. Arrangements
are being made to set up a county
mattress making center at Lexing-
ton, where the farmer will be mott
fled to come when his mattress is
ready for him to make. Most of the
work involved in making mattresses
will be done by machinery, making
it unnecessary for the farmer to
remain at the mattress center longer
than one-half day. In other words,
all of the work that the applicant
will have to do on the mattress will
be whipping, tufting, boxing the
sides land sewing up one end of the
ticking. It should not require more
than two or three hours to do this
work before the mattress is COM
plete and ready to be checked out
by the farmer.

for long. His thirsty mind quickly absorbed
all Morgan had TO teach him about the devious
ways of the fight racket and soon Joe had
his own stable.
One of his early triumphs was the feat
of guiding Mike McTigue by remote control
TO the light heavyweight championship
This masterpiece of transatlantic master
minding took place on st. Patrick's night,
1928, when Mike won the title from Battling
Sikh. the jungle child. in Dublin, Ireland.
while little Joey was celebrating the day
celebrate like a HelIs Kitchen Heeb-ernian
should back on Broadway.
If Battling Sikh was rushing in where
angels feared to tread when he risked his
title against an Irishman in Dublin on ST
Patrick's Day, Jacobs led McTigue into the
Jaws of death, into the mouth of He'll. when
he signed Mike up for bout in Columbus,
Ga. soon after this with the then unknown
Southern boy, Young Stnbling.
In those days, the Ku Klux Khan move
ment was at its height. But the idea of an
Irish Catholic fighter and Jewish manager
invading a khan stronghold didn't strike
Jacobs as being a fox pass until they arrived
at the ball park the day of the fight heard
some of the talk and saw some of the CATS
worn by ominous- looking gents
Then Joe tried to pull out by claiming
that McTigue had hurt his right hand. But
the promoter. John Paul Jones. had the men,
Der examined by his physician who claimed
it was in perfect shape.
So the show went on and McTigue
frightened out of his wits by the setup had

Hamas. Before the bout, the Nazi anthem
blared forth and thousands of Nazi eyes glared
at Yussel in the ring
But even Hitler himself couldn't have
found fault with the Nazi salute Yussel gave.
When the photo of Yussel giving a SUBJ
stantial Hell" was published in New York,
Jewish leaders denounced him as a traitor.
Yussel, always thick-skinned with regard to
personal criticism, shrugged his shoulders and
commented
I'D like TO see what some of them guys
that's putting the rap in for me would Of
done if they were in my boots It's a cinch
to be brave with an ocean between you and
danger"
The newspapers could slam Yussel until
the playboys came home and he'd never emit
a bleat But one unfavorable comment print
ed about any of his fighters would send him
into a rage
One of the lessons Dumb Dan Morgan
taught Yussel when he was fresh out of
Commerce High School was never to let any
one shout him down Because he listened
closely while Daniel was Grating on the ef-
ficacy of volume over logic, Yussel enabled
Schmelng TO set prize ring precedent by
winning the worlds heavyweight champion

Yankee Stadium on the night of June 6, 1880

his ears boxed off by Striblng Fortunately
for Mikes title, Jacobs still had an ace in
the hole. AS a precautionary measure. he
had brought along his own referee chap
named Harry Ertle. now deceased.
At the end-of the fight, Ertle called it
draw. 1t was like dropping a red hot rivet
into vat Of benzine. Khan leaders, with
menacing gestures in the direction of their
hips, surrounded Ertle and threatened him.
Ertle panic-stricken.
But the little Hebrew lad who had been
brought up among the tough Irish boys of
the West Side wasn't so easily scared Con-
Citation dripping from his words he said:
Boys, Ertle can't do nuttin'! He has
given his decision and the rules say he can't
change it irregardless Now it's up to the
commission or the promoter"
Promoter Jones, standing nearby heard
him Jacobs intended he should and said
We'll, l hereby change it in favor of
Stribling."
"Okay" said Jacobs, as if satisfied An
nounce it."
This eased the tension long enough for
Referee Ertle, Jacobs and McTigue to fall
into hollow square of soldiers from nearby
TT. Benning and make dash to their cars
Late that night when they reached Atlanta
they went to the office of the Associated
Press where Ertle announced that he had
called the fight a draw and hadn't reversed
his decision.
Jacobs acquired the trade name of Yussel
