Government Plans to Hand
Billion Dollars to Farmers

Growers This Year will
Be Five Times Greater
Than Last Year
Washington, Feb. 7.?The handing
of about a billion dollars to Ameri
can farmers during 1934 as benefit
payments for production cotton and
corn loans is being planned by the
Farm Administration.
Official estimates covering the
wheat and hogs, cotton, tobacco and
corn loan program were disclosed to
day to call for an estimated expendi
ture of $776,512,695, or more than
five times the $152,521,177 spent in
1-933.
in aaaitionai, an einngciK-ji iu?
of $200,000,000 would be provided
for benefit payrnerf# to beef and
dairy cattle farmers in a bill passed
by the House and'favorably reported
by the Senate committee. In addi
tion more payments to wheat farm
ers under a contemplated second
acreage reduction would bring the
total well above a billion dollars.
Officials revealed that the only
$200,000,000 of this would be paid
out of the Treasury if their plans
carry through, the balance being due
to come from processing taxes. Sec
retary Wallace even planned repay
ing this sum out of the proposed
processing tax on butter fat.
According to the various programs
now under way, the total will be ex
pended as follows:
Corn and hogs, $367,055,530; wheat,
$81,024,727; cotton, $173,220,620; to
bacco, $35,415,000; corn $191,796,721.

i Raleigh, Feb. 8?The House ways
: and means committee, of which R. L.
j Doughton of North Carolina is chair
i man. is giving "serious consideration"
to a proposed excise tax of five cent.-;
a pound on all importations of cVoa
nut oil and sesame oil which come in
competition with cotton seed oil, pea
nut oil, butter fat, hog lard and beef
fats, U. Benton Blalock, general
manager of the North Carolina Cot
ton Growers Cooperative Association,
said here upon his return from a two
day trip to Washington as legislative
representative of the American Cot
J ton Cooperative Association.
"The agricultural groups that pro
duce these American products are of
course fighting hard for the bill while
the soap manufacturers, laundries and
other interests are fighting heavily
for an open market on foreign oils,"
j Mr. Blalock said.
Summarizing other legislation, Mr.
Blalock expressed the following opin
I ions:
The Bankhead bill, or any similar
bill to limit cotton production by bale
control, will not be acted upon until
farmers have replied in the affirma
tive to the Questionnaires that have
been sent them.
Many features of the Rayburn bill,
which would put all trucks and bus
lines under control of the Interstate
and Foreign Commerce commission,
do not appeal to farmers who own
and operate trucks.
Cotton farmers are supporting the
bill of Congressman Fulmer (S. C.)
! which would result in cotton being
sold on a "net weight" bale.
Regardless of the fact that some
j what over 500 cooperative production
credit associations have been set up,
indications are that Congress will
pass a bill to continue seed loans this

Schaub Defines
Tenant's Rights
The Reduction Contract
Does Not Give Land
lords the Right to Fire
Hands, Says
' i
Kaleigh, Feb. 8.?The reduction of i
tobacco or cotton acreage under AAA
contract is no excuse for a landlord
to disch?u*ge a tenant, Dean I. 0,
Schaub, director of the State College
extension service, said yesterday.
Dean Schaub is directing the reduc
tion campaigns in North Carolina.
Capus Waynick, State Reemploy
ment Director, said Tuesday that
reports from reemployment offices
over the State indicated that spme
tenants were being discharged fol
lowing signing of reduction contracts
by the landlord. '
Any landlord who dismisses a ten
ant is violating a pledge made to
?.he government in signing the con
tract, Mr. Schaub pointed out.
For the protection of landlords,
permission was granted for the (lis
? i \ _
charge of a tenant wno oecaine a,
nuisance, the dean continued, but if
the landlord lis to carry out the pro
visions of the contract, he must re
place the dismissed tenant.
And for the protection of tenants,
a spelial clause was inserted with
the proviso that the landlord is not
: to reduce the number of his tenants.
> Instead, he is to divide the reduc
tion equitably among them, accord
, ing to the amount of land 'rented by
? each.
r "In most cases," the dean said,
' "we have found that the tenants dis
1 charged were incompetent or unre
liable and that, no doubt, some of
? them would have been discharged
? anyway.
"However, we do not deny that
some worthy tenants have been
forced to leave their homes, and we
regret this very much. But we must
f realise that any benefit program is
' bound to have some disadvantages
? somewhere, though we are trying to
I keep these disadvantages to a mini
? mum.
"And we do have reason tp be
- lieve that although some tenants are
- being handicaped, the great majori
r ty of farmers are receiving such bene-"
r fits as were almost undreamed of a
f*w years ago."

' Roosevelt Favors
Lownr Interest

President's View Ex

To Lighten Debt Bur
dens
Washington, Feb. 7.?President
Roosevelt's call for a general lower
ing of interest rates on the $250,000,
000,000 of public and private debts in
this country was expected tonight to
result in a concerted move to that end
both in and out of the government
Mr. Roosevelt's view that many
creditors would have more assurance
of getting their principal if they
reduced the interest charge may pro
vide the needed impetus to press
pending legislation.
Bills before the Senate?which
have House approval already?woulci
enable corporations and municipali
ties or other political sub-divisions
of states to scale down the principal
and interest of their debts through
an agreement with the majority of
their creditors.
Legislation already is in effect
which enables the individual to re
arrange his debt and interest rates
through a pact with the majority of
those he owes and to give similar
help to railroads. There have been
complaints that these laws have not

they need strengthening.
The President, in letting it be
known that he thought the debtor
was paying too much on obligations
contracted in better times, did not
say what he believed was a fair rate,
nor did he specify particular charges
that he regarded as too high.
But he did indicate that he felt
strongly that the debt reorganiza
tion problem must be worked out,
and suggested two methods.
One was on a voluntary basis and
the other through legislation which
would enable the debtor to get re
lief after a majority of the credi
tors?from 65 to 70 per cent, per

Among the debts mentionad were
those owned by foreign nations, but
it was not made clear whether he
had war debts in mind- He has
promised some communication to
Congress on the subject.
The maximum interests Britain
pays on its debts, Treasury, officials
said, is 3 1-2 per cent. France was
assessed only 2 per cent and Italy
1-8 of one per cent.
There was speculation after Mr.
Roosevelt's declaration as to whether
it might not indicate an impend
ing effort to lower the charges upon
the government's long-term indebt
edness.
In this connection, it was recalled
that the Treasury had already re
financed at a lower rate about $900,

Essay Contest
Man Who Holds The
Cards in the Farmers'
New Deal Relies On
Young Brains
? - - . \
(By Roy H. Parker)
Rait igh, Feb. 8.?Henry A. Wallace,
who as secretary of agriculture holds
the cards in the farmers' new deal,
has given his "hearty approval" to
the seventh annual essay contest of
the Nirth Carolina Cotton Growers
Coopeiative Association which will
get the opinions of thousands or rural
high school boys and girls on the
place of "Education and Cooperation
in the New Deal for Agriculture."
Mr. Wallace, who has surrounded
himseL with young aides?they range
from j:3 up with most of them in
their 23'a and 30*8?to help work out
the new deal for the farmer, particu
larly likes the essay contest since it
stimulates thought on the farm prob
lem an ong the boys and girls in their
'teens.
Just as Mr. Wallace explains the
prevale ice of young men- in his office
by saying that they tackle problems
from an unbiased standpoint, so does
he thint that valuable suggestions
may cone from the students in rural
schools,
The :otton cooperative has found
during he six years it has sponsored
annual < contests that rural high school
boys and girls of the State are keen
ly interested in farm, problems and.
given a i opportunity, are anxious to
oxnress their oDinions. The high
f-y ?
point of the contest was reached in
1932 wl en more than 7,000 students
from 131 rural schools wrote essays.
Thp-'a antra] essay contest, which
had its beginning in 1928 under the
guidance of M. G Mann, secretary
treasure: of the cooperative, has
gTown rapidly and during the past
six yeaia more than 20,000 . essays I
have been written. Mr. Mann is still
in charge of the essay work and is
looking 'orward to seeing this year's
contest <}cjipse all others in number
of essays and point of interest,
first ]>rize in the contest this year
will be a one-year scholarship to any
North Cirolina collego. The contest
will be conducted along lines similar
to those of previous years with the
exceptior that a tabloid newspaper,
"The Essay News," will be substitut-i
ed for thje regular essay booklet.
teen thoi sand copies of the paper will
be distri auted to high school boys
and girls.
The acreage reduction campaigns
give farmers the chance of a lifetime
to improve their soils, according to
un. article in the February issue of
the Nortli Carolina Cotton Grower.
Legumes, fruits and vegetables are
some of the crops recommended by
the farm paper,
How Denmark, one-fourth the size
of North Carolina, pulled out of the
slough of despond it was in 50 years

To Cotton Control Plan

Baleage Tax To Hold
Next Crop to 9,000,000
Bales Now Appears
Certain
Washington, Feb. 7.?A long stride
toward federal control of agriculture's
output was taken today through for
mal approval by Secretary Wallace
of the Bankhead bill to limit cotton
marketed in the 1934-1935 season to
9,000,000 bales.
A statement issued at the farm ad
ministration said:
"If, aii indicated by results of the
questionnaire recently circulated
among cotton growers, the South
strongly favors the proposal, he (Sec
'_J 1, ' t - ? ??
retary wauacej wui support its en
actment." '
Only a little while before. Senator
Bankhead (D-Ala) author of the cot
ton measure, said the Secretary of
Agriculture "is agreeable to the ap
plication of the proposed baleage
limitation to this year's crop, and
they are ready to go."
Approval by Wallace of the Bank
head bill apparently insures its pas
sage by Congress. President Roose
velt already has given tacit support
to its principles, but his Secretary of
Agriculture, although asserting he
would be guided by the wishes of
the growers, has been dubious about
compulsory measures.
Only two days ago, at a conference
with newspapermen, he. strongly in
dicated he favored giving the volun
tary cotton plan a further trial, be
fore any mandatory provisions were
written.

From All Parts of The
County
Greenville, Feb. 7.?The signing: of
government cotton acreage produc
tion contacts picked up sharply in
Pitt County yesterday, and indications
!>ointed today to one of the most com
plete sign-ups of this kind ever con
ducted in the county.
' The pick-up in interest was ascrib
ed to announcement of receipt of
?20,000 in government cotton pool
:hecks received by the farm office
here yesterday and which will only
be paid to those who have actually
signed the reduction contracts.
E. F. Arnold, director of the Pitt
bounty Department of Agriculture,
said today there were around 800
i-ontracts in his office at this time,
and it was expected the total would
ae above the 1,200 mark before the
campaign closes.
The sign-up will come to a close
Thursday, February 15. The date of
the closing has been extended from
time to time because of the slowness
with which growers have signed, but
as there will" be no further extension,
everybody who has not signed was
urged to get busy and do so at once.
The checks received here yester
iay are for growers who agreed to
pool their cotton with the govern
ment. Checks will not be paid, how
ever, until growers obtain statements
as to their sign-up status. These
statements must come from town
ship committeemen.
Mr. Arnold let it be known yester
day that tenants will be required to
bring their landlords to his office be-..|yi;^;
fore they can obtain their checks.
The checks range all the way from

Salary increase
Teachers Would Get
That Under George
Bill, Allen Estimates
Raleigh, Feb. 8.?Dr. A. T. Allen,
State Superintendent < f Public In
struction, estimated y?sterday that
North Carolina would get about $1,
500.000 which the Stale School Com
mission could use to increase teach
ers' salaries if Congress passes the
bill introduced by Senator George of
Georgia and others to provide funds
*
lor bcnuuiB. ;
The George measure,; and a com- j
panion bill already introduced in the
House, would give $50jo00,000 to the
schools of the nation this year, Doc
tor Allen said, and North Carolina
would probably get abOut $1,500,000.
A provision is included setting aside
twice as much, or $1001000,000 next
year, and this State would get $3,
000,000 under that.
Doctor Allen said he! was not cer
tain of just what the! terms of the
bill are but he understood the School
Commission would be table to apply
the money to increasing teachers'
salaries.
Jule B. Warren, secretary of the
North Carolina Education Associa
tion, and Claude F. Giddy of the
State School Commission said they
were under the same impresgion.

Lower Money Rates
For Cities Favored
President on Rocord for 1
a Cheaper Interest for
Municipalities :
Washington, Feb. 7.?President
Roosevelt specifically went on rec- 1
ord in favor of lower interest rates :
for municipalities in thii course of <
his regular press conference today. (
In response to questions, the pr^si- 1
dent favored a general lowering* of 1
interest rates in the interest of fair
ness and improvement ? of the debt
structure. j ?
He wfcs asked specifically about :
the Wilcox bill now peqding in Con- <
gress and which has been warmly en- '
dorsed by Charles M. Johnson, North i
Carolina director of Ibcal govern- 1
mont. The President was unfamiliar 1
with the exact terms of the Wilcox <
bill but expressed himself as favor
ing the principles embodied in it of 1
permitting the extension to munici
palities of the method provided for
private corporations in legislation
passed last year, whereby minority
creditors are required to:accept terniB
agreed upon by a specified majority.
It was stated that in some in
stances municipalities have been re
quired to pay unconscionable rates
