LONDON, up - The sneezing
boy finally has quit sneezing.
Fourteen-year-old Michael Hip
pisley, whose 37-day siege of un-
trollable achoos attracted world
wide attention, was reported
cured today by London nursing
home.
Just how the sneezes, averaging
one every three seconds, were
stopped remained mystery. So
also did Michaels present where
abouts.
All the nursing home would say
was that "Michael's condition was
of a psychosomatic nature and he
has not been treated successfully.
The statement indicated that the
sneezes were the result of ner-
vouS condition.

Illinois Governor
Says Government
Costs Too Much

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo,
(P)-A freshman Democratic gov
ernor-Adlai E. Stevenson of Ill
inois-said today that all govern
ment costs too much and the
States had better set their own
houses in order before quarrelling
about federal aid.
Stevenson, who has gained men
ton as a Democratic Presidential
possibility in 1852, told reporter
he doesn't agree with some of his
governors conference colleagues
in demanding greater control over
the spending of u. S. money.
Government is too expensive
at all levels" he said. "We need
economy from the township up to
Washington. But until we can do
a better job in government at To-
cal and State levels we ought not
be damming federal interference
at the same time we are asking for
more federal funds"
The 41st annual governors con-
ference, beginning its official ses-
sions today, has before it a pro-
posal for a 20 per cent cut in fed
eral aid grants to States-to be
made up by increased State tax
collections from theater admiS-
sions, gasoline taxes, electric and
telephone service, if the federal
government would withdraw from
those fields.
Gov. James H. Duff, Pennsyl-
vania Republican, has complained
about too much Washington inter
ference in administering relief and
other programs.
Gov. Earl Warren, California
Republican, said he doesn't think
federal aid can be cut until some
definite agreement is reached to
give the States a bigger bite of
tax collections.
when you get down to cases
and try to decide who is going to
give up what in the way of taxes,
that's when the difficulties be-
gin," he told a news conference
yesterday.
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, of New
York, the 1949 COP Presidential
nominee, will be head man when
the governors get down to cases
on the federal-state government
questions tomorrow. Dewey. who
hasn't seen Warren since he and
the Californian lost last years
election, arrives from the east to-
day.

than at any time during the past
several years if farmers buy early.
Despite lower prices for farm
products, use Of fertilizers may
continue to increase in 1850.
Fertilizer prices for 1850 prob
ably will be near present levels
The Cotton outlook is very un-
favorable, both for 1850 and for
the long range view.
The 1949 crop was the largest
since 1887, about 1875 million
bales.
With domestic supply estimat-
ed at 20.7 million bales, and dis
appearance indicated at 12.5 mil
lion bales including domestic con-
sumption and exports, the carry
over next August l may be about
8A million bales.
Recent devaluation of foreign
currencies may tend to reduce
consumption by a decrease in ex-
ports of cotton textiles and by an
increase in U. S. imports of for
eign textiles. Experts of raw cot
ton also may decrease from last
seasons level of 4-A million bales.
Competition from rayon and
synthetic fibers will continue to
increase, both in domestic and
foreign markets Foreign cotton
production is also increasing.
Current prices are at about the
loan rate. The national acreage
allotment is set at 81 million acres
for 1850 - 20 per cent reduction
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1949-12-22
The Form Situotion--

A high level of business activi-
ty is very important to Missis-
sippi farmers Heavy industrial
employment at high wages plus
heavy government spending
means good demand for farm pro-
ducts.
Domestic demand for farm pro-
ducts is likely to be down only
slightly in 1850. Export demand
may be down considerably. Prices
for most. farm products are ex-
pected to be lower than in 1949,
though still much above prewar.
Prices of many products may drop
to or below government support
levels, but price supports will
tend to prevent any drastic drop
in prices.
Production costs and family
living costs will not drop as fast
as prices received by farmers.
Therefore, no farm income and
disposable farm income Gncome
after taxes) for family living will
be lower than in 1949.
Gross u. S. farm income in 1949
was about 10 per cert lower than
in 1913. Net farm income was
down about l6 per cent
Both gross ard ret cash farm
income are expected to go down
further in l950--probably about
the same decline as in 1949. This
would bring net farm income to
about two-thirds the record high
l947 farm income. But it still
would be more than double the
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1949-12-22
THE FARM OUTLOOK

General Business Situotion-
General business activity in the
year ahead is expected to stay at
q level only a little below 1949,
but still well above any year
prior to 1949. Level of employ
ment of SO to SO million at rage
Yates plus G. /. insurance refund
will support high level of bust
ness activity.
Government spending - FEEDER
al, state and local - will rise
further, off-setting to a large ex-
tent moderately lower private
spending.
= Drastically lower income to
Mississippi farmers due to poor
cotton crop and lower prices for
farm products in l949 will weak
en- business activity in Mississippi
in 1850.
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1949-12-22
l935-39 average.

Mississippi farm income is an
other story. Gross cash farm in
come to Mississippi farmers in
949-50 may drop as much as one
third below the record high of
80 million dollars in l948 This
would be a drop of about 500
average per farm family. The
value of the l949 Mississippi cot
ton crop, large part of which
vii! be reflected in 1850 farm in
come, is about 1873 million dollars
less than the value of the 1949
crop. Cotton acreage allotments
and probably lower prices may
further tend to hold farm income
down in 1850. Lower prices for
livestock products also will con-
tribute to lower income.
Farm real estats values in Mis-
sissippi are down ten per cent
from the peak reached in late
l948 and early 1949. But on July
l. l949, the average value of farm
lsnd was still l46 per cent, about
the 1859 value. Further de-
clines are expected in 1850 with
prospective lower farm product
prices. But permanent price sup
ports may tend to stabilize farm
real estate values at relatively
high levels.
Fertilizer supplies during 1850
ere expected to be more plentiful
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1949-12-22

3l8 pounds.
The value of the 1949 Mississip-
pi cotton crop is estimated at
about 232 million dollars, compar-
ed with 44l million dollars in 1913.
Livestock and meot production
trend is upward. Numbers of
both hogs and cattle are increas-
ing. This will result in larger
meat supplies and moderately
lower prices for meat and meat
animals - lower for pork and
hogs than for other meats and
