COLLEGE STATION, Nov. 13
(Sjjf.)—Rates o i payments to
Texts farmers under the 'lit 12
AAA program air directed at
greater conservation on individual
.fai rrin, according to Frod Rennels,
aspistant administrative officer of
th■ * AAA in Texas.
Other provisions will assist
farmers in attaining recoid pro-
duction of commodities needed In
the Food-For-Fi oedom campaign,
ho said.
I'nyment rates, based on normal,
yield of allotted acreages, include
cotton at 1.25 per pound; wheat,
10.5 cents per bushel; rice 4.SC
cents per barrel; and peanuts,
7.2f> cents per 100 pounds. The rntt
on commercial potatoes, included
in the program for the first time
this year, is 2 cents per bushel.
In explaining the program fur-
ther. "Rennels said that farmers
•way earn two types of payments,
o'ic in connection with special
allotments and the other fct-
«arrying out soil-building prac-
tices. Special allotment crops in
Toxhs are wheat, cotton, rice, po-
tatoes and peanuts.
Payments for complying with
acreage allotments will be made
in .proportion,to the degree with
which erosion-ressisling, it -soil-
corscrvhtg acreage requirements
are met.
Soil-building allowances estab-
lished at *0 cents per acre on
cropland in excess of speciai al-
lotments-r>y be earned hy carry-
ing out fiproved practices, the
AAA official explained.
As. in previous years, payments
under the program depend upon
the $500,000,000 annual appropria-
tion authorized 111 the AAA Act
of 198S, Rennels said. Kates are
subject to 10 percent upward or
downward revision depending upon
the degree with which farmers

Instead of total soil-depleting
allotments as established under
pant programs, next year's pro-
gram provides a specified percent-
age of cropland be devoted to ero-
sion-resisting or soil-conserving
crops or land uses. This provision
of the program is a forward step
in continued soil improvement,
Rennels pointed out.
To meet Food-For-Fruedom
goals, Texas farmers should plan
their conservation program' in line
with defense needs, he said.

Cotton Crop
Insurance Is
Being Planned
COLLEGE STATION, Nov. 13
(Spl.)—Cotton crop insurance i.i

throughout the state, Cothran ex-
plained.
When Increased production of
foods in the national defense pro-
gram were called for, county AAA
offices faced the gigantic task of
issuing 1042 cotton, wheat, rice,
peanut and Irish potato allotments
to Texas farmers by Nov. 1. Spec-
ial allotments under AAA farm
programs usually reach farmers
by early spring, Cothrar said ill
pointing1 out that all decks had to
be cleared for Food-For-Frecdom
pledges which got underway in
Texas Nov. 1.
County listing sheets establish-
ing preliminary crop yields and
premium rates are being received
in the state office with more ex-
pected shortly, the insurance sup-
ervisor explained.
After county datas have been
approved in the state and regional
crop insurance offices, Texas cot-
ton farmers will be in position to
take out insurance ou next year's
crop, he said.
Under the program, cotton
farmers may insure 75 percent or
SO percent of their established
yields against all unavoidable haz-

IT'S A SMALLER WORLD
Not very many years ago. a
term family was a pretty isolated
and self-containcd unit of civiliza-
tion. The problems of that (jpmily.
and the solution
of those prob-
lems. were fair-
ly well confined
within the
fence s-of the
farm itself.
That has been
changed by
modern Inven-
tions.
K, First came
ycs the automobile,
with its traveling companion, the
hard-surfaced road. That made
the farmer a better and closer
neighbor. It became an hour's trip
to town and back, instead of a
whole day's journey.
Then along came the RFD,
which brought the farmer his mail,
and his daily paper, right to his
front gate every day. He began
to know what was happening, not
only in the county seat, but in the
nation and the world.
And finally the radio arrived,
with the effect of making the
whole world a group of neighbors.
There was a time when there
could be a war tn China, and we
wouldn't know a thing about it foi
six months. And every school boy
knows that the battle of New Or-
leans was won- by "Old Hickory"
several weeks after the war was
over and peace declared! v
•J That can never happen again.
We*know about battles in Europe,
or torpedoes in the Indian Ocean,
actually while they are taking
place. Truly, it's a smaller, more
intimate world.
The benefits we have all enjoyed
from modern transportation and
modern communication must not
be regarded as one-way tickets to
better fuller living. If we have
more neighbors, we must have
more neighborliness.
A drought, or a war, on the oth-
er side of the world, which used
to seem a million miles away, now
takes place, so far as effect is con-
cerned. in our own yards. We have
become a part of the world. Per-
haps we still live off the main
highway, but our individual farm,
large or small, is itself a part of
the world, with a full share of re-
sponsibility toward the ihUlions of
neighbors we now have.
We can no longer tell ourselves
"Let those foreigners settle their
own affairs; I've got troubles of
my own." That doesn't work any
more.
Look at the present world-wide
struggle if you want a case his-
tory. Wo didn't make the war;
perhaps we didn't contribute a
single factor to its underlying
causes. Definitely, It's not our war.
We don't want to be in it at all.
But we feet the effects of it,
whether we like it or not. If you
need any further evidence that we
have a responsibility in this war,
just think of what your tax bills
will be next year, and for all the
years to come. >
We are neighbors of the whole
world. W« have to be neighborly.

COLLEGE STATION, Nov. 13
(Spl.)—For the fifth consecuLvc
year, Texas cotton farmers will
vote in a cotton marketing quota
referendum, Fred Kennels, assist-
ant administrative officer of the
AAA in Texas, has announced.
The voting date has been set
for Saturday, December 13, and
quotas will not be in effect nn the
1942 crop unless approved i>y two-
thirds of the eligible producers
who vote in the referendum, he
said.
If quotas are in effect, farmers
planting 'within acreaga allot-
ments may market all cotton
grown on their allotments. Re-
gardless of whether quotas are ap-
proved, censer/at ion phases oc tlw
AAA program will remain the
same, he explained.
"<"ott"ii is one of the surplus
crops for which no increase is aak-
ed in the Food-For-Freedom cam-
paign," Rannels said in explaining
that with restricted world mar
kets the United State has on hand
a supply of about twice the size
of recent crops.
Approval of marketing quotas
to help adjust the surplus wili
make possible continued usse of
loans, the AAA official said. Un-
der provisions of Hie AAA Act of
19!!8, as amended, loans are pro-
hibited when quotas are rejected
by producers.
Coilapse of foreign markets and
the consequent drop in American
exports from 0.2 million balej to
1.1 million bales, together with the
fact that there is already enough
cotton on hand to fill an extra
year's needs, highlights tne cot
ton situation. Since the flump is
due primarily to war and naval
blockades', cotton exports probably
will not increase any great extent
during the present season, he
pointed oat.
Local Turkey
Crop Moving
Out Steadily
Eastern Dressing
Market Closes
Thursday Night
The local turkey crop is moving
steadily, it was reported Thursday
by C. H. Bowdeli, of the Mexia
Poultry and Egg Company, with a
slight weakening of the market
Thursday morning.
The dressing market, on which
packers dress the birds and ship
them Fast, closes Thursday night,
Bowden said, and from now until
Dec. 1, all turkeys bought by the
shippers market will be for mar-
keting in the South at such points
as New Orleans and Houston.
However, Bowden said he would
continue to buy turkeys right on
through November. He said tiic
market is too unstable to pi edict
trends in prices.
