OUSTED FARM
TENANTS WE
I GET Op SAY
WASHINGTON. May 3.—In
announcing a conference to be held
here next week to formulate a plan
to assure compliance with terms of
tne 1934 cotton acreage retraction
contract. Sec. Wallace has issued
the following statement:
The sign-up campaign lor the
1934 cotton adjustment program nas
been completed. The time has now
tome where it is the duty of the
administration to work out a def-
inite policy ol enforcement ol the
provisions of this contract.
Tenants Ousted
We have received a considerable
number ol complaints of displace-
ment of tenant fanners in viola-
tion of the spirit of the contract.
The number so dispossessed is not
subject to precise determination.
Available information indicates
that a great majority of the land-
cwners have complied thus far wun
the terms of the contracts by keep-
ing the same number of tenants as
heretofore employed and that most
lardowners have not evicted ten-
ants or share croppers because of
The reduction program
As a whole landowners and ten-
arts have cooperated in a splendid
way in connection with the cotton
adjustment program and committee-
men and county agents have dem-
onstrated fairness and patience in
dealing with the many problems
which have arisen.
Tenants to Get Say
However there has been a suf-
ficient number oi complaints that
it seems desirable that some me-
chanism be devised whereby those
tenants who have been taken ad-
vantage of will have au opportunity
to present their complaints di-
rectly to the administration and
be assured that a prompt investiga-
tion Will result
There have been complaints that
certain other devices have been
adopted by individuals or corpora-
tions in an effort to secure a
larger share of rental and parity
payments than specified in the con-
tract and it is considered necessary
that these be investigated and
corrected. Just what procedure will
Of adopted in receiving and acting
upon these complaints is a matter
subject to the deliberation and
oecislon erf the conference that
has been cahea for next week.
I feel that it should be made
dear that the agricultural adjust-
ment administration is not attempt-
ing to interfere with normal rental
* arrangement* between landowners
+' or landlords and their tenants.
Plan Other Action
However the administration nas
a definite duty with reference to
the obligalions imposed upon land-
owners by these contracts. It IS
cur duty to make certain insofar
as possible that the provisions ol
the contracts and the administra-
tive tfWlmgs designed for the pro-
tection of all parties concerned are
fulfilled
I might add that the policy here
announced is not confined to any
one crop for which adjustment
programs are in effect. Similar
action with reference to compli-
ance is contemplated in each of the
programs

MORE THAN 50% LONGER NON-SKID MILEAGE
IN THE NEW firestone
HIGH SPEED TIRE FOR 1934
■/ The new Firestone High Speed Tire for WM is the
greatest tire Firestone has ever built. With its wider
flatter tread greater thickneee deeper non-skid more
and tougher rubber and greater non-skid contact with
the road you get more than 5056 longer non-skid mileage.
This new development is made possible by the
Firestone patented process of Gum-Dipping whereby the
cotton fibers inside the high-stretch cords arc soaked and
coated with pure liquid rubber. This provides greater
strength safety and blowout protection.
Firestone engineers pioneered and developed the
first successful balloon tire in 1923 and it is only
natural that Firestone would lead in the further
development of tire construction to meet the demands
of the high-powered high-speed ears of today. I
