accomplishing greater things during

stated today. "Only through the un*

members, as wall aa the patrons and
citizens generally, which I have receiv-

ble for me to look back upon my first
three years with considerable pride.
Now, with that same co-operation, I
look to the future with a great deal of
enjoyment, feeling that we are on the
road to progress and that here in
Caldwell we will have a system that
will be pointed to with pride in time

As reported to the house by the
committee, there was no provision to
correlate cotton with other reduction
programs. But the committee subse-
quently approved this amendment,
which was adopted Friday over bitter
opposition.
"No allotment shall l>e made to any
producer unless he agrees to comply
with such conditions and limitations
on the production of agricultural com-
modities by him as the secretary of
agriculture may, from time to time,
prescribe, to assure th<> co-operation
of such producer in the reduction pro-
grams of the agricultural adjustment
administration and to prevent expan-
sion of competitive production by such
producer of agricultural commodities
oth.-r than cotton."
Representative Runkin (Democrat,
Mississippi), opposing that amend-
ment, said that it was written by
Representative Boileau, a Republican
who represents the dairying state of
Wisconsin.
Dairy Threat Seen.
Rankin charged that Boileau was
attempting to prevent dairying in
Southern states.
Boileau and Chairman Jonas (Dem-
ocrat, Texas) of the agricultural com-
mittee, however, dmiad that waa the
intention, and said it waold be on*
fair to producers of other farm com-
modities t cotton furmsv* were al-
lowed to turn from cotton to other
commodities.
Drouth AM Granted.
Representative Blanton (Demoorat,
Texas) presented another amendment
which was accepted by Jonee and
adopted by the house. This refer* to
the section that permita the allocation
of additional production allowances to
farmers whose crops have been dam-
aged by drouth, storm, flood, insect
pests or other natural causes.
The Banhetul bill proposed that
these additional allowances be limited
to farmers whose crops had suffered
from one of these causen "for the pre-
ceding three years." On Blanton's
motion that was changed to five years.
