' ' I Cotton Farmers Cut Costs of Production ? ___________ Cotton fanraro have cut their production coeta and are producing more feed and food for home use by participating in the Agricultural Conservation Program, says E.

"Encouraged by tie program," be said, "farmers have carried out practice* which have im proved their aofl. the resulting in creased yields have lowered farmers' production coeta. "The National average yield of cotton for the 10-year period ending in 1932 was 170 pounds an acr& For the period 1933-38, when agricultur al conservation programs were in effect, the average yield was 212 pounds?an increase of 42 pounds an "Soma at the increase came about because of conservation and soibbafldbsg practices, the use of better land fee cotton, and because of better seed, better cultivation, and better insect end disease control methods advocated by Extension specialists and farm agents." Floyd pointed out that since re duction at cotton atoaatft hid bean accomplished by large iaci-yeaw hi mteqwnding f^rgaT^Smda^S food and feed har been mads avail able for home u*t on cotton farms.

The appointment of Myron C. Tay lor, former Quaker but now an Epis copalian, to be the personal represen tative of the President to Pope Pins XII, with the rank of -Ambassador, followed the President's appeal to all i Inn i Ism to throw their influence be hind the cause at world peace. The appointment is regarded as an effort ! to secure cooperation in the endeavor to establish an enduring peace at the proper time. Mr. Taylor's appointment does not constitute a resumption of di plomatic relations with the Vatican, which were terminated by Congress in 1867, but it enables him to keep in contact with peace moves which may emanate from the Vatican. At the same time, the President addressed representatives of the Jewish and Protestant faiths, asking cooperation for the establishment and preeenva tion of peace. Senator George N. Noma, of Ne braska, says be will retire from pub lic office when his present tasm ex pires in 1948. The veteran legislator, listed a> an 'Independent Republi can," hag been in Congress for nearly thirty-eight years. His career has | been marked by an independent, rare in political life. In 1917, Senator Noma belonged to the little band at senators who fili bustered the "armed neutrality" hill to death and, subsequently voted against the entry of this country into the World War. He took part in the House fight to strip the Speaker, Joe Cannon, of his broad powers and has been in the forefront of chose de manding new social legislation. The Senator fathered the Tennesee Valley Authority program, support ed the bill to reorganise the Su preme Court, has advocated a third term for President Roosevelt and was the author of the constitotinoal am?nAni?nt ending ftft Lame Duck sessions of Congress. Regardless of differences of opinion, his sincerity, ; courage and intelligence won him many, friends and admirers through out the United States. THE ANSWERS '! !'? I?1' 1. December 22nd. 2.
