Cotton Men To Get
Seventy Millions
(Continued from page one)
of the adjustment efforts sill bring
1184,000 000 more than the full crop
of 17,800,000 bales would have
brought. However, in addition to
the value of the 13,300,000 bales
i $594,000,000) there ie to be added
the $112,000,000 the farmers have
received In benefit payments and a
profit Of $48,000,000 on cotton op
tions.
‘This brings the total income
from lint cotton for the presen*
year of $754,000,000, the most valu
able crop since 1929 when the price
<vas 18.8 cents a pound."
Figuring the trimmed crop at
nine cents a pound, he said, farm
ers would receive $314,000,00 more
than they would have gotten for
he entire crop had it gone to har
est and been sold at five cents.
"As a result of the added Increase
ui pilot', the augmented Income
and due to the fact that the 1933
erop left to be harvested was one of
the best In history in point of yield
and cheapest in point of produc
ion," Cobb said, "business condl
. tions throughout, the cotton b*lt
shows radical improvement over!
what they have been at any time
luring recent years,” j
It was pointed out that the yield
per acre of land left in cultivation
estimated by the crop reporting
board at 309.4 pounds, was one of
the highest per acre yield on rec
ord.
Cobb said the plow-up program
n the south not only was accepted
-'nthuslastically by farmers but rac
faithfully carried out. The goal at
the outset was to take not less than
10,000,000 acres or 3,000,000 bales
from production. The amount of
land actually plowed under was ap
proximately 10.400,000 acres. The
balance taken out was estimated at
t.400,000.
Cobb now Is working out plans
or next year’s reduction program.
It is the goal of the farm admin
istration to hold the cotton culti
vation to 25,000,000 acres against
more than 40,000,000 planted this
year.

| Tenting Again On
Old Camp Ground
CCC Worker* Labor Where Soldier-.
Once Gallantly Fought in
Virginia.
Fredericksburg, Va., Dec. 14.—'tue
seventy-first anniversary of the bat
tie of Fredericksburg finds men
tenting once more on the famout
old campgrounds of Spottssylvania
county, Virginia.
Six hundred men 1 if khaki, re
cruited in the President’s war
against depression, spent today
clearing underbrush and building
trails as a part of a plan to per
petuate forever the memory of the
thousands of brave men in blue and
gray who lost their lives in the hard
fought battles in and near .Freder
icksburg during the war oetween
the states.
On December 13, 71 years ago to
day, Gen. A. E. Burnside sent di
vHipn after division to storm
Marye's Heights above the town oi
Fredericksburg but not a man
reached the wall lined with rifle
men from Longstreet’s corps, though
many brave Federals fell within a
few feet of it. The engagement end
ed with the withdrawal Burnsides’
troops to their camps at Falmouth
on the night of December 15.
Three companies of emergency
.conservation workers are encamped
in the historic area now known as
the Fredericksburg and Spotssyl
vanla battlefields memorial. One is
located at Spottsylvania Court
house, and another at Chancellors
ville where Stonewall Jackson was
mortally wounded by his own men
in 1803 after cme of the most bril
liant flank attacks of his career
had helped to achieve a great vic
tory for the Confederates. A third
camp is located in the Wilderness
area where In May, 1864, General
Lee thwarted General Grant in a
determined effort to clear the way
to Richmond. This bitter contest
lasted 13 days.

Lacking since the days of “Roosevelt the First," the gleeful laughter of small children will contribute t
the Christmas spirit at the White House this Yuletide. For many weeks the “First Lady” has been planning
a joyful reunion of the family, which always has spent Christmas, under the same roof. The President*
ions, James, John, Franklin, Jr., and Elliot are expected to be on hand, as well as the President’s mothei
Mrs. Sarah Delano Roosevelt. Principal guests, however, will be the grandchildren of the President “Si*
