Scott County Farm Program Plans A 1910 Extension Effort
A 1910 Scott County extension plan emerged from a 13-leader meeting at the grade school, chaired by Leon M Lane. The discussion covered land ownership, farming shifts toward feeding livestock, crop diversification, and the need for urban water, sanitation, and education improvements. Participants included county figures and state agents Amy Micelly and Eve Fikuart, plus seven attendees on a Stoneville tour to view labs and breeding sites.

Cotton Belt Gains In Fight For Margarine Tax Relief
Tennessee July 27 Twenty seven bills discriminating against sales of margarine have been defeated this year, the National Cotton Council reports. Cotton Belt claims a perfect 1939 record against margarine taxation, mostly from cottonseed oil. Fourteen bills imposing new taxes were killed or died after adjournment in ten states. Thirteen more measures extending prohibitive licenses and border controls were defeated in eight states. Two federal tax hikes on margarine have been proposed in Congress, Johnston predicts they will fail. Leaders concede public weariness of discriminatory interstate trade restrictions and support for low cost bread spreads. The Cotton Belt plans broader defense to remove existing discriminatory laws.

Calf Eats Money in Hayti Yard
Waddell, a Hayti farmer, lost three 320 bills planned for wiring his home. He searched the yard for the wallet, then saw a calf playing nearby. The family reportedly used the money to pay wiring contractors, while the calf apparently ate part of the bills.
Cotton Export Bounty Payment to Begin Today
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace announced the government will pay exporters 11 cents a pound on cotton sold abroad under a subsidy program to regain the United States fair share of world markets. An equivalent payment applies to exports of cotton goods processed domestically. The rate may be adjusted if changes are essential to the program, and payments start today for exports on or before June 29, 1940.
