WASHINGTON, D. C., July 30.
—Three years ago Congress passed
a Reorganisation Act. Among oth-
er things, this act provided that
Congress should adjourn by the
end of July ‘‘except when the coun-
try is at war . . Yesterday the
Speaker of the House held that we
were still technically at war and
that an adjournment was not re-
quired by law. Apparently this
session will drag on for at least
another raonthr’The* Hwufp in S9

had to be enacted, that is, appro-

for Congress and for the country
if matters could be brought speed-
ily to a close and Congress adjourn.
It has always been my contention
that. a Congressman should spend

A number of us here have been
urging the Department of Agricul-
ture to announce a cottonseed pro-
gram. Cottonseed hss dropped
from around $100 a ton a year ago
to around $30 a ton in certain soc-
tions as of last week. Day before
yesterday the Department of Agri-
culture announced they would sup-
port cottonaeed so aa to assure the
farmer a return of not less than 90
per cent of parity. This will amount
to around $50 per ton. While very
much under last year s price, this
will nevertheless be of considerable
help to the cotton farmers of our
section.
