FARM CASfc INCOME 1
THE COTTON PROBLEM <
NEW LEGISLATION I
NATION'S BREAD BILL t
I
(Hugo S. Siou. Washington Corres- 1
pondeat) <
. i
For the first eight months of this 1
year the farmers of the United States
received more dollars than for any
similar period since the year of 1929, i
according to the Bureau of Agricul
tural Economics, which estimates the
farm cash income for the period at
$5,355,000,000. This is nearly* $700,
000,000 more than the farmers receiv
ed in the January-August period last
year.
It should be noted that the data does
not reflect the sharp drop in cotton
prices, being baaed on a survey of
principal farm products marketed and
Government payments to farmers thru
August. All major agricultural re
gions showed income gains over last
year, with the largest increases oc
curring in the Southern States, chief
ly on account of cotton and tobacco
receipts.
Farmers in South Central States
showed an income gain of 38 per
cent; those in the South Atlantic
States, 17 per cent; the East North
Central States, 15 per cent; the North
Atlantic States, nine per cent, and
the hard-hit West North Central re
gion, which includes the drouth-strick
en corn belt, an increase of four per
cent.
The amasing cotton crop being pro
duced this year, now estimated at
17,573,000 bales, will rank as the sec
ond largest on record being exceeded
by the output of 1926 when 17,977,000
bales were produced. The crop this
year will evidently set a new high
record in yeild per acre.
The price of the staple is above
the low quotation of 1932, but if the
devaluation of the dollar is taken into
account, cotton is actually selling at
the lowest price ever known, when
measured in terms of the former gold '
dollar.
- . .. Ii
There may be some people in tne
United States, who regard the cotton
as a sectional problem and therefore,
take little interest in the price of
cotton growers receive for their sta
ple. However, the purchasing power
of millions of farmers is fixed by
their income from cotton and any loss
in their ability to buy goods of Ameri- ?
can industry is immediately reflected
in the national economic set-up. Some
yaars ago, the Department of Agri
culture presented figures to show that
the increase in car-load shipments of
manufactured products of the North
and West to certain South Atlantic
States was almost identical of far
mers' income in that area.
Farmers all over the United States
are naturally interested in the special
session of Congress which has been
called largely to formulate a long
range agricultural policy for the na
tion. One may expect considerable dis
cussion of various suggested pro
grams but, in the end, only one plan
can be legislated into being. Whatever
this plan may be, it is urgent that
farmers cooperate whole-heartedly
in its development in order that it
may be fairly tried. If it proves un
satisfactory after a real test, the
time will come to adopt another pro
gram.
. It is also essential for citizens every
where, and especially those whose in

Strength is extra-important
for women going through the
change of life. Then the body
needs the very best nourish

changes that are taking place.
In such cases,. Cardui has
proved helpful to many wom

and aide digestion, favoring
more complete transformation

The nation's bread bill for 1987 is
estimated at $710,897,300, according
to data of the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics, which estimates that the
wheat farmers will receive 19.86 per
cent of this total, or $141,184,204. The
millers' share is $38,033,006, and other
ingredients such as salt, sugar, malt;
milt; yeast end shortening takes up
$81,113,382. This leaves a margin of
$450,566,709; or 63.38 per cent of
the total; for the baker and retailer.
In giving the above figures, we
would not unduly encourage the idea
that the amounts which go to the
millers, the bakers and retailers is ex
orbitant. In fact, the writer does not
have sufficient information upon
which to pass reasonable judgment.
Anyone who has had any exprience
with manufacturing and selling acti
vities knows there is considerable ex
pense involved in the processes and
that the cost of raw materiel is usu
ally only a minor factor in the final
cost of the product when delivered to
the consumer. I
BURIES MONEY, LOSES IT
\nitoch, Calif.?In 1933, Mrs. Rose
Giovanni, fearing bank moratoriums,
buried $6,000 in a tin can in her
basement. Unable to find it after two
day's digging recently, she advertised
for help. A crew of neighborhood boys
at a dime apiece, literally tore up the
basement and unearthed the money in
short order,
HUSBAND BIT HAND
Los Angeles.?In her suit for di

he merely kissed it The jury be lived

suspended jail sentence.
