The parpnM to give people who fro crop, and alao thoar mho deal la them, a chance to put their bwinesae In ordrfand aquare their plana with Ihr realities of a changed world. We have had to work hard and fact.

At tunes, events have ruled us; but more often we have man-! aged to take hoid ol pressing realities and give them a new duecuon: We have made a lair urt. Two MUUon Farmers There are 2 000.000 American cotton farmers. Nearly nine tenths of them have agreed to take out a total of 10.500.000 ac(r of cotton. This "will reduce the 1933 cotton crop about a quarter and so avoid a catastrophic price collapse which would have kept the rVmth on crushes, financially and put a stay to the whole recovery program this fall. This month, with 30,000 volunteer field workers helping we are can farm families that grow wheal 7 an acreage adjustment program for the next two years.

At the same time we are giving hog growers a chance to reduce their potential production during the coming year by approximately two billion pounds and are pushing also toward a more balanced and orderly supply of tobacco, dairy produets and certain -special crop. Our Interests as a people axe interwoven that a rise in the cotton price is good business for farmers a thousand or more mile to the north and west. More money south of Memphis means, for one thing, an improved demand for Iowa, pork. Cotton cities are among the best markets for hogs. And the i wheat and corn belts are heavy buyers of cotton, when the lolkj there have money to buy with.

A rising price cycle, with certain commodities leading the rise unevenly, stirs a spirit of bitterness between different groups which I hope that the natural good sense of the American people will tend to temper and restrain. Building Bridge Everything that has been done so far by agriculture, and much that to be done the coming year, Is in the nature of a bridge that must be built If we are to have a restored buying power and a renewal of general prosperity. We are bridging over a period of greatly diminished foreign tlemand. To sustain tiation-al recovery we must maintain a -bedroe--ef -eofttiiue4 -dome-1 tic purchasing power. If were to try to leave the fanners out of that we should get Jjownere.

It Is equally true that the farm program cannot succeed unless linamnlnvmsrvt 4.ln the Incomes and purchasing power of city people. A recent study of livestock and terLJjricea ahnwa thatsucK nricll ea keep step almost perfectly with payrolls, although there is a lag of two or three months. I hope that our farmers will let that fact sink Into their heart. Fanners no less than all other Americans should work and pray resolutely for the success of N. R.

26. The age-old practice of storing food In the ground or cellar for people is being extended and hundreds of Alabama farmers are now using the same method to store food for farm animal. The practice started a few yean ago when county agents began to advocate the use of trench ailos for storing sorghum and corn allage. An upright brick or wood alio is often quite expensive, but according to P. W.

Burns, extension animal husbandman of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, a trench alio can be constructed at little or no cost-except that for labor. The trench slloa have been found as satisfactory as upright silos by nun-; dreda of farm" owners. Farmers with as few as five or six cows are finding the trench silo useful and profitable. By using them farmers provide a cheap and succulent feed for dairy cows, and such feed la said to be essential to best results in dairying. "Take a leaiOj.plow, and scraper and open a trench up and down any slope that is-, convenient to the barn," said Mr.

Burns. "When this trench is. filled and well rounded up with through the silage cutter, put pine straw, grass, or similar material Over the top of the silage, and then drag back enough dirt to cover the silage well. "One cow will eat about one cubb foot of silage a day and five feet must be eaten daily to preven spoilage. Therefore, multiply th number of cows to be fed by 5 anJ divide the result by the depth and" you have the necessary width." Many farmers are constructln; trench silos at this time and storing corn and sorghum silage in them.

Important changes of general interest to the public affecting the plan of operation of the Alabama Farm IJureau Cotton Association havebeen announced by J. A. Beaty, general manager. For the marketing year now beginning the customary annual pool which the association has operated for II years has been eliminated ATlfl Anlv rA a kalHn known as the immediate sale and special call pools.

Elimination of the annual pool will enable the association to greatly reduce the amount of records ijuenwy, me expense or. handling the cotton. Few records will have to 'he kept In the case of the two pools operated and this will make the cost ofhaftdirni7ercottbh much less. "Every other conceivable step has been taken to reduce expenses of. the association with the result that operating costs of the co-op hlch hsve been kept low, especially, durjng the past two seasons, will be considerably lower this year than for any year since the beginning of cooperative marketing of cotton in Alabama," Mr.

The variable depth attachment for cotton, planters was used ssfully by sevejal Alabama farmers who tried out the new develon- jnent-last spring, according to John w. Randolph, representative of the U. 8.

Bureau of ARrlrulturaT En-glrieerlng. The attachment makes possible the planting of cotton seed at varying depths and In this way insures a stand regardless of the weather conditions. A cotton reduction plart for 1934 and 1935 Is expected to be ready by September IS or shortly thereafter, according to Secretary of Agriculture, Henry A. Wallace. An expertment at Auburn has revealed that a crop of lemimes reduced the amount of soil washed from an acre by one inch of rainfall from 5,823 pounds to 284 pounds.
