Subsidies To Go Out
 Toxpoyers to Get
 Greater Relief

Washington. Nov. 10 (UP) = The government told the public yesterday that after next June 30, it must pay it's entire food bill at the grocery store instead of partly in taxes
 Stabilization Director John C.. Collet announced that by June 30, the government will have withdrawn virtually all subsidies to food pro- ducers. These payments, which help kep down prices to consumers, are costing the Federal Treasury $l,- 98,000000 this year
 Collet said prices of some foods will be allowed to go up to compen- sate producers for the loss of rev. enue. But the overall cost of liv- ing. he said, is not expected to rise because subsidy withdrawals will be timed with expected declines in prices of non- subsidized foods.
 Butter prices recently were in- creased five and six cents pound when the federal subsidy was can celled.
 The only subsidies for which the government did not set termina- tion date were on sugar, oil seeds and to non processing slaughterers.

SMALL COTTON
CROP FORECAST
Agriculture D epart ment
Predicts Harvest OF
10,062,000 Bales

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8-HEThe
Agriculture Department today
forecast 1915 cotton crop Of TO-
062,000 bales, the smallest since
1884.
Last years crop totalled 12,230,-
600 bales while those for the ten
year 1934-43 period averaged 49,
$685. 1000 bales.
The forecast for this years crop
was 100000 bales smaller than was
indicated month ago, attributed
to excessive moisture in August
and eastern sections of the cotton
belt.
Because of pent-up civilian de-
maids for cotton products, it has
been predicted that cotton con-
sumption this season may well ex-
cee> 100000 bales.
| However, the country has a re.
serve of more than II, 100000 bales
from previous crops. From this
reserve domestic requirements
and exports - which government
officials predict may reach 3,0O0,.
900 bales this season - can be
drawn.
The department said the yield
of cotton per acre was indicated
at 1872 pounds this year compar'
ed with 1885 pounds last year ano
with ten year average of 231
pounds.
Abandonment of cotton in cult.
Walton of July estimated at 1.s
per cent-are said to be about
equal to- the ten year average, and
leaves 18,008,00O acres for harvest.
This is 1C per cent less than the
increase furnished last year and
is smaller than any year since
1885,.
The department said frequent
rains in August following a wet

the eastern part of the Carolinas
and in South Georgia where rank
growth favored weevil damage
and boil rot. Although the outlook
remains fairly good in the Pied
mont area of these states weevils
were said to still menace irnma-
ture bolls.
In Louisiana and in the lower
Delta and southern counties of
Mississippi weevils spread rapidly

that since we have been so active

this Victory Scrap campaign"

paper mills are still months be.
hind in their production schedule,
and tin foundries unlikely to oper-

ness firms and manned by the. fra.
ternity members will collect the
scrap material, which should be
placed on the curbs early Sunday
