Option Checks To Be Mailed Out To Cotton Fanners Announcement M&dei By Sec. Wallace Cleveland County Farmer* To Re ceive S 150.000 âJust Before Or After Christmas.â Cleveland county farmers will get their Checks on optioned cot ton âeither before or Just after the Christmas holidays,â according to Secretary Henry A. Wallace in a speech Saturday In Birmingham, Ala. Southern fanners are due to re ceive 48 million In cotton option checks, which represents the differ ence between the six cents level for the staple and todayâs market value. Cotton growers were given the choice of the options or a higher acreage allowance In the reduction program this year. 8.000 Hear Him In his speech, the secretary urg ed his 8,000 hearers who Jammed the municipal auditorium and over flowed the lawn outside to âstick behind the national program, no matter who is hurt.â Wallace prefaced his remarks with the statement that the admin istration plan for farm relief must have the- backing of community sentiment in every farm commun ity or face the alternative of fail ure. - '.-v. "I feel we are all children of a tremendous transition period," he said. "We are facing a future which may be infinitely rich or Infinitely disastrous.â "We must see the national pro gram through after it has been de cided through mature deliberation." he went on. âWe must see it through, no matter who Is hurt be cause those hurt by It will be bet ter off than if we had no program.â After outlining the administra tionâs cotton plan for 1934 which provides acreage reductions of ap proximately 40 percent and a max imum payment to the cotton grow er of $18 per acre for land taken from normal cotton planting, the secretary commented briefly on the . Rank head. proposal to Umtt oottnn production by bales rather than by acreage. "The plan has been suggested and I believe it ought to be thoroughly discussed by the growers, whereby a ginning allotment be granted each farmer,â the secretary said. In discussing the cotton growersâ plight in recent years, Wallace said cotton in January of this year brought the farmer 7.2 cents per pound less than it should have brought, to give him purchasing power of the pre-war level. Attacks Hlrh Tariff Attacking the high tariff as one of the contributing factors to low farm prices, the secretary said "the fact that we had become a creditor nation was completely ignored as we raised tariffs and declined to accept foreign goods in large enough quantities to recompense us for the money loaned abroad. âOur huge foreign loans during the years 1923 and 1928 simply made bad matters worse; in effect we paid Europe to buy from us, then refusedâby means of high tariff on industrial goodsâto let her pay us back. I hope we have learned that foreign trade, like in ternal trade, is fundamentally an exchange of goods and services and that we cannot sell unless we are also willing to buy.â Secretary Wallace cited three steps which he said should be taken in the farm program. These were a lowering of the tariff to permit other countries to sell to us, in or der that they might also buy, com pulsory control of farm production.

Reduce School C Mtii These figure* represent the »c tual reductions in dollars through the stateâs taking over operation of the entire eight-month school term. In taking over the schools, the state reduced the coat of operations, which amounted to $23,000,000 in 1033 to $16,000,000 in 1083, saving the taxpayers approximately $?.âą 000,000. The property tax afforded the state amounts to $11,476,840. Bales tax collections reported for the first three months, Commis sioner Maxwell points out, am be- ' low the average for the year, as collections are Improving from month to month. But, allowing for this increase, the sales tax in Cleveland county is far less than the relief afforded. Deficit In 193$ "In 1932, property ownen of the state were assessed $11,476,640 for school operating cost,â Commission er Maxwell said. "This te now en tirely eliminated. In 1932 the state was required to contribute approx imately $12,000,000 added to this amount for school operating pur poses. In doing this, in a two year period, the state Incurred a deficit Of $15,000,000. âBy enactment of the sales tax. by economies and consolidations in operation of schools, North Caro lina is now on a sound financial basis, its revenue now exceeding Its expenditures. Property has now been entirely relieved of paying for the operating costs of schools.â Annie May Leigh Buried Saturday Annie May Leigh, age ten years and eleven months, died in the Shelby hospital of an unusual blood trouble.
