May 8—While regula tions governing the workings of the new Farm Relief Act have not yet been made public, it is evident that cotton growers in North Carolina will be favorably affected bv the operations of the bill and should be prepared to cooperate to the fullest extent with Secretary of Agriculture Henry A Wallace. This is the opinion ot those ex tension workers at State college who have been studying ttie act in the last few days and are preparing to cooperate in carrying information about the act to the people of the State. It is doubtful, they say. that anything can be done with tobacco this season bin it is a fact, that the cotton grower may be vastlv bene fitted j Oi i '■ j' > * ‘r 1 ?><, r' ■ 1,1 i with the plan u'tl! be greatly help No Beer For Firemen, Cops While On Duty City Hall Order Foibids Imbibing Of l.atrr Whilf Mrn Are At Work.

One rural letter carrier this morn ing said hp developed neuralgia : when he was cited to information from the postoffice department in Washington that me equipment allowance for rural letter carriers will be taken aw-ay from them for a year “This means a cut on rural letter carriers of about $30 per month. On April 1st we had a cut in our base pay and a cut last July 1st, the two together amounting to a reduction of fifteen percent It gave me neuralgia when I heard this morning that our equipment allowance will also be taken away for a year," said the carrier. He was in good nature, however, about the reduction in pay which will likely come to all clerks and car riers throughout the nation. Postal clerks will be given a three months furlough without pay. It is understood. These readjustments have not gone into eifect, but It is understood that they ate coming to the employees of the postal services throughout the country as a result of the economy measuies being in stituted by the Federal government. Carolina Should lew Farming Deal ed, however. Those who do join should be preparing to form com munity and county associations of growers under the guidance of the farm demonstration agent and the State administrator. In the case ofj North Carolina, this person will likely be Dean 1. O Srhaub. direr-j tor of extension. While it is known that practical-1 ly all of the cotton has been plant- i ed in North Carolina, or will have | been planted by the time the regu-! lations governing the act have been announced, still it has been sug gested that, the government, might / make it, attractive enough to grow ers for t hem to plow up .some of the cotton planted. In other words, say! the extension workers, the act-rag [ to cotton must be reduced this year? to where some two million bales wilij be removed from the market. This' means that reductions of at least I 25 percent will be m order Cotton harvested lrom the re maining 75 neiv* o' of thr ( ;i on h“ undet the dome tie a lotmcnt plan.
