The increase, was permitted for employment of an all-time sanitary inspector and . ad-, ditional nurse, and is to be applied to other county expenditures if the original program of the. health de partment is not carried out. Several other matters were con sidered by the board, including the payment of bills and hearing of re ports from various departments.

Sets Up Four*Cent Rate For Cotton Certificates v, '? ? * - ? I ? ?? ? ? * > * " \ * Washington, Sept. 5?A plan de signed, to pour millions into the pock ets qf drought-hit cotton farmers through the sale of tax exemption certificates allotted under the Bank head control act was announced to day- by Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace. I -: . Principally created to aid growers in-the nun-seared areas of the South I west, the plan authorizes farmers who did riot produce, the amount of Icottoa allotted them under the fiank I head-law to sell their tax exemption certificates at the rate of four cents & pound. Under the Bankhead law, each pro ducer was permitted, to grow a de I finite amount of cotton. Staple pro Iduced in excess of this amount was subjected-to a tax of 60 per cent of the market price. How it Works The plan announced by WaHace will work in the following manner: A Texas farmer is allotted a cot Uoh quota of 500 bales under the law, [?jsd is given tax exemption certifi-, cates for that amount. Due to the, drought his. actual production is only 300. bales, leaving in his possession; tax exemption, certificates for 200, bales A Mississippi planter is also allot-) tod .500 bales, but , due to favorable conditions, his p^duction totals 700s V'" If the present plan had not been devised, the Misaissippian would have been complied, to pay a tax of one pound tax, he will purchase the ex emption certificates held by the Tex an for four cents a pound. Both Benefit ' Therefore, the Mississsippi farmer will reduce the tax on his excess 200 bales from 5.67 cents a pound to four cents and the Texan will re ceive approximately $4,000 for the -200 bales which he failed to produce, as . there are approximately 500 pounds to the bale.
