Drop of Nearly 500
In Cotton Exports Seen

The Agriculture Department
said yesterday it now appears
that exports of cotton for the
marketing year ending June 80
will run little more than 3 mil
lion bales, a drop of nearly SO
per cent from a year ago.
The departments foreign serv-
ice said exports for the nine
month period ending May /
totaled 2,556,000 bales compared
with 5000 exported in the
corresponding period a year ago.
Exports during May, June and
July last year totaled $4,000
bales. The agency said present
indications are that exports in
these months this year will not
exceed this total despite sub
stantial amounts of cotton to be
shipped under mutual security
and Export Import Bank pro-
grams.
The service said the decline
in exports may be attributed to
a number of factors such as the
availability of large quantities
of foreign cotton at slightly
lower prices, barter trade and
clearing agreements affecting
cotton trade among foreign
countries, and hand-to-mouth
buying policies on the part of
foreign mill buyers.
Sharpest drops in exports
were to India, Japan, Belgium,
Germany and the United King
dom.
The agency said there are a
number Of foreign situations
and developments now in evil
dence that may have a direct
bearing on the size Of exports
in the marketing year ahead.
They include declining stocks of
cotton in importing countries
and smaller supplies in some ex-
porting countries. excepting
Egypt, Brazil and the United
States.

SIS Million Allotted
By U. 5. 10 Subsidize
Export Of Wheat
BY ths Associuted Pres.

A SIS million stop-gap wheat
export subsidy program was an
nounced today by the Agricul-
ture Department.
Secretary Benson said in a
statement that it is designed to
avoid a break in the export
movement of United States
wheat to traditional foreign
markets.
The program will become ef-
fective tomorrow and will re-
main in effect pending official
ratification Of the renewed in
ternational wheat agreement
and the enactment Of legislation
needed to carry out United
States obligations under it.
The temporary export subsidy
program will be financed by
funds from custom receipts.
Under the program the Agricul-
ture Department will make up
the difference between the price
provided in the new interna-
tional wheat agreement and the
support price for wheat. The
new agreement calls for a max
imum of $2.05 a bushel, while
the national support price is
1921 a buShel.
The temporary plan will per-
NIT eligible countries which have
ratified the new international
wheat agreement or are expected
to do so to buy wheat at the
reduced price. Such purchases
will be recorded against quotas
under the new agreement.
'"The Importance Of maintain
ing a continuous flow Of wheat
and flour to our foreign markets
and the particular urgency of
maximizing this flow cf exports
during the harvest season make
1t highly advisable to offer export
payments on wheat and flour
under the renewed agreement.

the United States," Secretary
Benson said.

Butler said.
The 78-year-old Conservative
leader was reported to have &C
cepted cheerfully the orders from
his medical advisers to take a
complete rest for at least a
month.
He and Mrs. Churchill were
luncheon hosts yesterday to their
son-in-law and daughter, Mr..
and Mrs. Christopher Soames,
and Lord Beaverbrook, publisher
of the Daily Express, at their es-
tate near Westerham, Is miles
southeast of London. Mr.. Soames
said later:
"Sir Winston's condition is not
such that it is likely either to
deteriorate or improve from day
to day. He is simply suffering
from general fatigue which prob
ably is more mental than phys
ical."
The Daily Mirror, nominally
independent but favoring the
Labor Party'S politics, declared
in a front-page editorial:
"He owes it to himself, to his
family and to the country to re-
tire from the premiership. He
may still be with us at SO, still
holding in our hearts place of
affection he so richly deserves
and still benefiting the world
with his counsel"
The London Times, a support

said his service to Britain must
now come from his Incompatible

Judgment and his flashes of Wis

NEW YORK, June ga top
Eisenhower administration farm
official said today it is more i'm
portant to save farmers from
ruinously low prices than to
carry out campaign promises to
reduce the Governments role in
agriculture.
John H. Davis, president Of
the Agriculture Departments
Sc, 750. 100000 Commodity Credit
Corp, said farmers are in a
crisis because of surpluses, de-
clining markets and falling in
comes.
This makes it necessary, he
said, that the Government put
into full gear" the farm pro-
grams that exist under present
legislation. Even though these
laws have Weaknesses" he said,
there is not time to change
them to meet the present emer-
gency.
Mr.. Davis made these state
ments in a speech prepared for
a meeting of the American Seed
Trade Association.
Granting that the present
farm program has weaknesses,
certainly this is no time to hold
back and quibble about such
weaknesses" he said. This is
the time to put first things first.
This is the time for action to
make price supports effective
despite the shortcomings of the
tools ahead"
Mr.. Davis said there is no
doubt that, if present price
support programs were not in
effect, agriculture would be in
a depressed condition similar to
that of the 30s.
The CCC president laid part
of the blame for the present
farm surplus problem on the
previous Democratic administra-
tion. He said rigid restrictions
on production will be needed next
year and possibly the year after.
'But this is the price we have
to pay for the mistakes of for
mer years in not making neces-
sary adjustments and not util-
izing available controls when
they were needed one and two
years ago." he said.
Mr.. Davis said it was a safe
bet that the Eisenhower admin
istration would end it's first year
in office with larger stocks of
farm products acquired under
price supports than it started
with, despite "the pledge to move
in the opposite direction"
He added:
"This, of course, does not
mean that we are not trying to
carry out the promise of less
Government and more free en-
terprise. Rather, it means that
we are putting first things first.
We feel that it is more important
to save the farmer from ruin
ously low prices than to take
time out to switch farm pro-
grams now.
eve must go full speed ahead
with the present programs, even
though temporarily it means
more Government in business in
order that we may have an op-
portunity later to revise the farm
programs to meet agriculture's
needs and to fulfill our pledge" !"
Mr.. Davis said existing laws
must be used now "in both a
more efficient and a more ade-
uuate manner" than he said was

Drought-Hit Texas
Promised Rain and
Aid Program Detail,
By the AssoeiGfed Press

DALLAS, June 20. Farmers
and ranchers of drought-devas-
tated Texas today had their eyes
turned toward two important de-
velopmentS-a disaster relief
program due to be announced in
Washington and promising
clouds over the State.
Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son, who over the week end in
spected Texas drought areas and
conferred with farmers, ranch
erS and State officials, promised
before returning to the Capital
that he would announce the de-
tails of the administrators
emergency program in WASH
ington today.
The clouds yesterday brought
only light rains to East Texas,
but they rode on new winds that
took the edge off the heat wave
and brought promise of nicking
the drought over the State.
For weeks the winds have
blown from the southwest off the
arid, hot deserts Of northern
Mexico. Weather Bureau officials
said that as long as the wind
remained in that direction there
was little chance that Texas
would get relief.
Winds From Gulf Blowing.
But yesterday southeasterly
winds from the Gulf of Mexico
started blowing across Texas,
bringing moist air and clouds.
Light rains fell at Tyler, Luf-
kin. Houston and Galveston and
the Weather Bureau said there
was a possibility of scattered
light rain across the State and as
far north as the Panhandle.
The shift in wind took the edge
off the temperatures yesterday
and only extreme West and
Southwest Texas reported read
ings of 100 degrees or more.
In Washington Representative
Clark Thompson announced last
night that the House Agricultural
Subcommittee on Livestock
would fly to Texas Thursday for
an inspection tour of the drought
areas.
Emergency Federal relief in
the form of cheaper feed, price
support for livestock, and credit
will be welcomed by Texas farm
ers and ranchers but it can't
take the place of what the State
needs moSt-rain, and lots of it.
Must Start Hauling Water.
Lack of water has already
scared crops and rangelands.
Now the shortage has become so
acute that some ranchers say
they are going to have to start
hauling water.
w. G. BilD Swenson, one of
the heads of the big SwenSon
ranching operations that cover
100000 acres in West Texas
counties, said, "The situation is
critical all over our ranches.
"Our stock water is getting
low. We have already had to
ship our yearling heifers to pas
ture in South Dakota and our
yearling steers to Colorado. We
are going to have to start haul
ing water if we are going to hold
on to our mother cow herd"
Mr.. Swenson said.
The present drought was
termed this week end by George
Humphreys, foreman of the
King County 6666 Ranch with
headquarters at Tuthrie, as the
worst he has seen during SO
years with the Burnett ranch
ing interests.
Mr.. Humphreys said that of
the 200 stock tanks, the major
water supply, on the 100000
acres, all but six of them are now
bone dry.
Because Of water shortages
we have been forced to sell and
deliver to market 1000 head of
two-year-old steers and 1,50O
head of heiferS that would have
been used as replacements for
old cows" Mr.. Humphreys said.
Nothing the Government can
do will relieve our situation. We
need water"

ISOLATION, made up of 81 Valley
organizations, held a meeting
Monday evening at Moose Hall
Although only nine representa-
tives of the organizations were

possibility of some farmer cut
ting the grass for hay. Anyone de-
string the grass is asked to con-
tact William Bouwens, recently
elected association president.
Purpose of the new association
is to clear-up and grade the area
and institute perpetual care that
will make the cemetery a beauty
spot and not the eye sore it is
today, members stated. With the
new fence and flag pole and the
aid Of organizations holding large
areas, another year should see a

evening, July II, for the 1858

Coin boxes will be placed in
several public places throughout

of research, education and service
to the cancer patient, Mrs. Wilson
pointed out. Cancer can strike
anyone-no one is immune. No
age is free from cancer. 1t can

and women. Important, she said,
is the fact that most cancers can
be cured, but only if treated in
