SANTA CLAUS IS 'SPELLED AAA IN COnON SECTION Help of Government Gives Planters $375,000,000: Business Booms. By Vnilci Pro, NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 21. Southern cotton farmers are $375,000,000 richer this Christmas than last. Prices paid for the current cotton and cotton-seed crop netted more than 5840.000.000, according to agricultural adjustment figures. Not since 1929 when farmers received more than a billion dollars for their crop has there been so much good cheer in Dixie. The average price paid cotton planters last year was 6.52 cents a pound. This season it amounted to 12.4 cents, based on market prices, 10-cent.s-a-pound federal loans, cash payments by the government for ployed up acreage and option benefits. "Christmas buying” therefore was something more than just a "word jingle.” Overalled farmers had extra dollars In tneir pockets to buy fruit, candy, fireworks, new pairs of ' Sunday meeting” shoes and "doodads” for the children. Bv Automobiles Many planters backed new automobiles out of their garages for the first time since the boom era. Government agencies this week .started disbursing $48,000,000 in payment of the 4-cent.s-a-pound advantages gained by farmers who took options then they contracted to plow up their growing crop last summer. The farmer spent the greater portion of the increased income with merchants of the cotton belt, especially those in small town, as is evidenced by the best fall and yuletide trade experienced in several years. Some of the receipts were usej to lighten the debt burden that has oppressed southern agriculture since the depression clogged commodity markets. 1931 Value Recorded A southwide survey conducted by Walter Parker, cotton economist, showed retail trad'' back to approximately the 1931 rate in dollar values. He said reports received by him indicate that retail buying is now solely based on increased purchasing power. Prospects were favorable for even higher cash return from cotton in s. 1934 with a smaller crop and lower production costs in the present season. With one of the smallest rarry overs in many years, the government is prepared to launch a 1934 acreage reduction program designed to guarantee a minimum price of 15 cents a pound to the producer. Future Appears Bright New Orleans cotton experts predict a price of 19 or 20 cents a pound if the federal plan succeeds. They point out that the carryover this year will not exceed 10.000.000 hales and the 1934 crop a like amount if producers co-operate with the government reduction program. An available supply of 20.000.000 bales, which would result, has always brought a price of between 19 and 20 cents a pound, records show. The 1934 setup as outlined by Chester C. Davis of the Agricultural adjustment Act provides for direct pavmdnt of $125,000,000 in rental fees to growers. FAILS TO HEED HALT ORDER: SHOT DOWN Parked Car Thief Suspect Held; Companion Escapes Police. Failing to heed orders to halt. Robert Posey, 24. Negro. 2167 Kenwood avenue, was shot in the head, but wounded only slightly, early today by Sergeant William Purcell. Posey was treated at city hospital, where it was said his condition was not serious. He was charged witrf vagrancy and resisting an officer. Sergeant Purcell and squad chased Posey and another Negro, who escaped, when they saw them as they were alleged to have been attempting to enter a parked car at Meridian and McLean place.
