grrss for the use of S130.000.000
for this purpose. Slaughter said.
It Is contemplated to make pay-
ment on cotton sold by farmers
eligible to receive the adjustment
on the basis of the difference
between tile average market price
and 12 cents
It is understood thut payments
will be made uii 05 tier cent of the
producer's base us estimated In
the Triple A program Slaughter
pointed out that If the 1937 pro-
duction does not call for the
entire appropriation, payments
will be made on a larger part of
the base production.
"It Is especially Important that
the producer keep receipts which
list the gross weight of each bale
sold, that the receipts carry the
date of sale, and are signed by
the purchaser." Slaughter said.
The receipts will be necessary In
establishing the sale, and as a
record of the total number of
pounds of cotton sold
The amount of the payments
made to individuals will depend
U|s)n the level of rotton prices at
the time the producer sells hts
cotton Slaughter Indicated that
the current price adjustment plan
was the forerunner of a perman-
ent farm program which is
expected to be the primary busi-
ness of congress at Its next meet-
