Farms In South
Are Peak OF
Cotton Harvest
Pay-Of For Months Of
Hard Work Is Near
And Prospects A re
Good.

MEMPHIs. Tenn. = (R) The
South'g major crop is ready for
harvest. It's contemplating time.
On a million and half farms
nimble-hngered men, women and
children, from dawn to dusk, are
plucking the white, fluffy POLLS.
Giant mechanical monsters are
lusy picking too.
Dusty, country roads are heavy
with trafflc as the crop moves from
sun-swathed fields to the market
place. Ten thousand gins are hum
ming. Warehouses and congresses
are beginning to bulge.
The pay-off for months of hard.
anxious work is at hand for the
folks Of the cotton belt. 1t means
meat and meal for the table, the
retirement of a mortgage, perhaps,
or money in the bank. And 1t means
that more white goods for sheets,
shirts, dresses and diapers are on
the way to merchants shelves in
the rest OF the world.
Expect Price TO Stay Up
"A crop of about twelve million
bales Is expected, about seven mill
lion bales less than the record 1897
harvest.

Dect the price to remain In the up
per ranges. The reasons: The crop
Ii not exactly what one would call
bumper: the hoId-over from the 49,
.46-47 season is only about two and
half million bales; and the world
demand is great.
This indicates that a great deal
of the crop will be sold around 80
cents q pound making it worth
about s1,750 900 900. Last year, far
niers received an average price oi
$3.50 cents a pound for their lint
In the 1919-'20 season some grow.
ers received as much as 1915 cents
a pound while the average price
was 35.40 cents. That year, however
was far different from the big year
OF foreclosures that marked the 49,
31-'32 crop. Then the fiber brought
an average price of slightly mor'
than FIVE cents.

The National Cotton Council say
more than 6S per cent of the ma
TONS crop is produced on farms
that grow only from one to fiv'
bales-famiIy unit farms. The res
comes from the large plantation
and from corp0ration-owned farms
chiefly in the Mississippi Delt;
and on the plains of Texas.
On most farms the family uni

the one chalked up on the Mi

Pan American started flying
this service in 1929 with short
range S-38s. The 2,064-mile
route led from Miami through
Havana to Mexico, then down
through British Honduras, Nj

Isthmus. The flight required an

Rowe and Fatt Joined Pan
American early, in 1928, within q
few months after the fledgling
airline began international OBJ

had begun their aviation careers
about the time the United States

Dallas. Tex, and piloted a plane
bought by The Des Moines, Ia,

and picture assignments. He
joined Pan American in Key

played major parts in the devel-

it is situated, with Pan American
retaining only minor share of
