New French Premier Pierre Etienne Flandin late yes terday finished the task of making a true in France’s political circles, and succeeds Doumergue as Premier of France. The six-foot Flandin, spurred by the gravest crisis France has known since the bloody riots nine months ago, required only 10 hours to form his cabinet, replacing the one broken by Edouard Her riott’s radicals.

Mutt Stamp Tickets To Sell Seed Cotton Farmers who have cotton to sell in the seed may do so, If they have sufficient tickets to sell on, said J. A. Propst, director of the Bankhead bill, today. However, these certifi cates must be bought to his office and stamped, showing that the cot ten has been sold in the seed and not as lint. If the owner has no tickets, they may be purchased from a neighbor, or from his office in the court house. This explantion was made because of the fact that many in quiries have been made. County Agent Can’t Sell Your Tickets Many cotton growers have report ed at the county agent’s office this week with the idea that they can leave their surplus gin certificates there to be sold. Sales cannot be made by his of fice, County Agent Shoffner said today. He and Bankhead Adminis trator Propst will be glad to try to arrange sales by keeping a posted list of farmers with surplus certi ficates for sale, and bringing buyer and seller together to make the transfer, but the office is not al lowed to make direct sales itself.

Surprising Power Shown By Edney; Takes 5 Counties Bulwinkle Elected By Majority Of 6,000 Republican Candidate Badly De feated, Bat He Did Carry five Counties. A recapitulation of returns from the 10 counties comprising the 10th congressional district shows that, while A. L. Bulwinkle defeated Cal vin R. Edney by a comfortable ma jority, the Republican candidate showed surprising strength in car rying half of the counties. He carried them by small mar gins, but he did carry them, accord ing to returns still not officially stamped as complete, and only the saving grace of handsome leads in Gaston and Mecklenburg put the major across. Five Go For Edney Edney earned Avery (tradition ally Republican Catawba, Lincoln, Madison and Mitchell.

Meanwhile, from his home In Gastonia, Mr. Bulwinkle said: “I am deeply grateful to aU my friends over the tenth district who sup ported me so loyally In Tuesday's election. “I wish to express my sincere ap preciation,1' he said, no all district and county chairmen, to precinct committeement, and to poll workers all over the district. “While the vote was cast over the entire district was relatives small, I feeK that for the number of votes cast I received a fine majority.

As yet the plan Is labeled "unof ficial" but authoritative quarters report Secretary Wallace , almost certainly will order an acreage cut of 25 per cent below the average In the past around 41,000.000 acres. The majority of the south’s cot ton growers already have signed contracts pledging reduction for 1935. Those agreements provide that the 25 per cent reduction Is the maximum which may be or dered from Washington. Only the discovery that funds would be available, one official said, would prevent the increase in payments to southern fanners who are co-operating, or who agree to do so in the future. Deal With Germany Seen At the same time, it was revealed at the farm administration that negotiations are under way with Oermany for a deal which would involve the exchange of about 500, 000 bale* of cotton for German goods. The decrease tn cotton exports to Germany constitutes the principal factor In the decline In cotton ship ments abroad and one of the rea sons why AAA officials feel that the maximum acreage reduction per missible is Imperative for next year. Other developments which point to the 25 per cent slash are: A cotton carry-over on August 1 of more than 10,000,000 bales, the third largest carry-over on record. Estimates that a yield approach ing 11,800,000 bales would be grown next year even If every farmer eli gible to sign-up reduced In accord ance with the 25 per cent reduction.
