Cotton Gambling Seen Doomed by Congressional Action
From New Orleans and New York come dire dispatches on cotton trading as Congress plots decisive steps against cotton futures. Most traders expect legislation to modify, not end, this market though the Scott bill’s fate is uncertain. Fear centers on elimination or major curtailment of gambling in futures, with stronger feelings in New York than New Orleans among farmers and merchants.

Fifth Payment Made to Eleven Schools
The Department of Agriculture issued checks of 1000 dollars to each of the eleven district agricultural schools, completing the fifth payment for the year. Assistant State Treasurer Perry said current fees from fertilizer inspection and tag sales should cover the 10000 dollar annual allocation without drawing from the general fund. In 1940, fertilizer revenue covered only 8000 dollars per school, forcing 22000 dollars from the general fund to complete payments. Five payments have been made to the schools this year, matching three payments in the same period in 1910.
