Southern Farmers To Get Nine Millions For Cotton Never Grown Or Picked WASHINGTON, Oct. 21—A cash bounty of 18,000,000 to 910,000,000 for ootton which never wu picked wity go to A smell group of aouth ern and trans-Mlsslsslppl sutes un der the Bankhead control act on the basis of October 1 crop condi tion. X This bonus Is a form of crop In surance, for without It the loss to growers from drought and other causes would have been upward of 160,000,000. The agriculture department rat ed the cotton crop 555 per cent of normal, as of Oct. 1. Total produc tion for 1034 was placed at 9,443 000 balsa, the smallest since 1550, with one exception. The Indicated crop Is 3,614,000 bales less than last year's and 5 331,000 bales below average annual production for the five years 1928 *t\. Mora Important, It is 1,017.251 bales under the legal limit defined by the Bankhead act. Ootton plant ers now hold, or soon will be Issued certificates. Which exempt from the 8.67 cents a pound Bankhead tax all cotton covered by federal allot ment . - In 10 cotton states, the Indicated production is greater than the al lotment. In six it Is less. So the lat ter group has more tax exemption 1 certificates than are needed and the j former has a shortage. The under producers have sur- j plus certificates for 1507.746 bales,1 whereas the over producers lack j certificates for only 488.956 bales. Correspondingly, the market for the certificates, which have a cash value of 4 cents a pound or $20 a bale. Is limited to 486,956. The po-! tential return from the sale of this amount is estimated at about »«, 739.130. U the surplus areas liad grown enough more to take care of the certificates that will gc begging in the deficit regions, the total ac cruinlng to underproducers would have approximated $30,154,930, or about half the loss attributable to weather damage. Sale or Interchange of the certi ficates is conducted through a gov ernment pool. The AAA does not buy the warrants but collects them from producers who surrender them to the pool and pay growers ac cording to the number of bales sold. Surplus certificates which are not sold—and there will be about 1,» 120,790 of these—are returned to the original owners. Farmers with excess certificates need not surrender them but may keep them for use next year In event the Bankhead act is con tinued. On this possibility, opinions are divided. The department estimated that each of the 27,341,000 acres of cot ton would yield an average of 185.9 pounds. An accompanying report by the census bureau placed glnnlngs rrom the crop prior to Oct. 1 at 4, 958.346 bales. Officials pointed out that this was more than half the total indicated production and should serve to quiet critics who complain the Bankhead act Is re tarding the movement of cotton. The production estimates repre sented an increase of 2.1 per cent or about 191,000 bales above the September forecast. Increases oc curred In Arkansas, Louisiana. Mis sissippi, Alabama and Cleorgla but were partially offset by decreases in Texas, Oklahoma and parts of the Carolines and Virginia.
