glad introduced into America from
Capetown, Africa, in 1850, by a mis

who has given to the world many
fine flowers.

Mifacles are happening in these
days. Two years ago when the____
Farm
Board proposed that the cotton plant
ers plow up every third row of cot
ton, the idea was received with jeers
Now the same thing is received with
cheers. The difference is that under
the “new deal” the planter is not
asked to stand this loss himself but
is to be repaid for it He is to be
paid out of a fund of 8120.000,000 or
so which will be raised by putting «
tax of 4.2 cents on every pound of
cotton which is in any way “pro
cessed.”
When Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace was able to notify the coun
try that the cotton curtailment plan
was a success, it was a great day for
the nation—especially the 1« states of
the South which raise cotton, Cot-
ton and wheat are the two great
money crops of the United States;
both were at the lowest points in his
tory, and hence the government pick
ed these staple industries to help
first.
t
tIIow are the cotton farmers to get
their khare of the money?
About
700,000 of them have so far agreed to
co-aperate, by destroying 25 to 50
per cent of their growing crop (es
timated at 13,000,000bales this year.)
They will destroy about 9,000,000
icres, which will cut the production
>y about 3,500,000 bales. Thia seems
’ike a huge reduction, but there are
: I ready nearly 11,000,000 bales held
¡ver from other year«.
Planters are warned that they
«hould not go ahead and plow up their
•otton or otherwise destroy it until
hey have r««ceived the formal O. K.
**om Uncle Sam. The agreements all
xve to be assembled at Washington,
—¿mined and re-examined, jo make
«ure they are in the proper form.
The planters will receive notice
through the county agents or others
that their contract has been approved
»nd will be told just how mudh
acreage to destroy.
After that, they will receive their
'ash payment for co-operating. The
government will advance the money,
and thus the planters will not have to
wait until the tax is collected. Au
thorised government agents will
check back on the planter« from time
to time «o as to make sure that the
destruction has actually taken place.
The planters are not to raise any
crop on. the abandoned land which
would interfere with the government
plans. Borne of them talk of using
the cotton for hay, as tests show that
cotton hay is as good as alfalfa or
better.
About half the planter« decided
that, instead of accepting cash pay
ments, for their co-operation, they
would take options on the 2,000,000
bales of cutton which were purchased
and held off the market by thq Farm
Board, which is now defunct They
would be allowed to purchase this cot
ton at six cents a pound, and as the
price is now double that much, they
can realise a fine profit.
The consumption of cotton is now
running more than double what It was
last year. In fact there is a regular
boom in the whole cotton textile busi
ness—though there seems to bo some
doubt whether all th« cotton goods
ator of the agricultural adjustment
plan, says that the prices of cotton
goods have already risen an average
of 30 per cent since March, and he
hope« that retail prices will not be
jumped eo fast that the consumers
can’t find the money to pay the in
creased rates.
The new "code” is now in operation
In the cotton industry. It was the
first code to be put in force. Pres
sure is being brought to bear to get
the other industries lined up so that
the movement can go forward along
the entire front at the name time, but
resistance is being met with in some
quarters.
The cotton code, as already outlined,
establishes a maximum of a 40-hour
work week, with a minimum wage
of 812 a week in the South and 813
in the North. No worker will be per
mitted to hold two jobs and thus in
crease his wages. No machine can
be operated more than a total of 80
hours in any week—namely two shifts
of 40 hours each, and no workers
shall be allowed to run an additional
number of machines. Repair men and
“outside” workers to be paid time and
» half for any work beyond the maxi
mum limit, and office help or "white
collar workera” must share in tlhe in
creased - wages. No children under -16
years old will be allowed to work.
In pre-depress!on times nearly 1,-
000,000 persons were engaged in the
cotton textile industries. This num
ber has been down to 500,000 lately,
but the new deal will mean the re
employment of some 125,000 wage
earners, it is figured. The cotton code
includes such side lines as silk, rayon,
thread, ete. The cotton plans as •
whole are designed to cover the next
two years. Action after that will de
pend on the conditions which develop.
