NACOGDOCHES; FUNERAL
HELD THURSOtr MORNING
College Station.—The gen-
eral intent of the Government
in its farm relief activities is
to bring the purchasing pow-
er of the principal farm com-
modities up to their pre-war
level or parity, according to
Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration officials who last
week visited the Extension
Service at
College. For the portion of
the cotton, com, wheat and
hog crops consumed in the
United States this parity price
is to be obtained by subsidies
obtained from processing
taxes. The remainder of the
annual production is expected
to rise in price because of the
reduction in production ob-
tained as a part of tbe con-
tracts signed by farmers with
the Government.
“Parity” is explained as
the purchasing power farm
commodities had in the “good
old days" of 1909-14. During
that period farmers were gen-
erally prosperous, prices were
regarded as satisfactory, and

acts in much the same way as
the tariff which has long given
a subsidized market to Amer-

NOTICE TO MY FRIENDS

COTTON PRODUCERS WILL
BEJIDWNGED FOUR CENTS
1 POIND ON OPTIONS
According to announcement
from Washington Monday, im-
mediate distribution of $48,-
000,000, constituting a 4-cent
a pound advance to cotton pro-
ducers who are to receive op-
tions on 2,400,000 bales of
government held cotton, will
be made as quickly as neces-
sary forms can be signed.
These options were desig-
nated to cotton growers as a
part of their consideration for
acreage reduction recently,
and they will be required to
participate in the 1934 cam-
paign.
After signing the agreement
and transferring his option to
the pool, the producer will re-
ceive 820 for each bale upon
which he is entitled to an op-
tion.
The pool will issue partici-
pation certificates to option
holders who will retain their
beneficial interest and upon
sale of the cotton will receive
their ratable share of any price
above 10 cents a pound after
deduction of expenses.
This will put into circula-
tion throughout this section a
considerable amount of money.

unity of all parts of our wide
