COTTON GROWERS GET LARGE CASH INCOME The huge increase in the income of Cleveland county cotton growers during the past three years is shown by figures supplied from the office of Dean I. O. Schaub at State* College. In 1932, before the cotton adjust ment prograh, the growers sold their lint and seed for a total of only $1, 731,513,71. The 1933 crop sold for $2,791,333, 66, to which was added $373,221.1 in benefit payments, bringing the total income from cotton that year to $3,073,555.13. The crop last year sold for $3,221, 392.04. Benefit payments of $426, 446.50 brought the total to $3,64'. J 838.54. The net income of the growers, in many instances, increased more than these figures indicate, the dean pointed out, since the reduced acre age required smaller expenditures for fertilizer and labor. Also to be considered is the fact that much of the land retired from cotton production has been planted to food and feed crops for home con sumption, and these crops have re duced the amount of money spent for food and for feed. To stimulus given the balanced farming program by the cotton ad justment program has also been worth 'a great deal to the farmers, the dean stated, even though the benefits may not now be measured altogether in terms of dollars and cents. The dean said that the rise in cotton prices may be attributed lar gely to the control program and its reduction of the surplus cotton which formerly glutted the markets and depressed prices.
