BRIEF RURAL FACTS

The four leading counties in Alabama’s cotton reduction program this year are Madison with 54,542 acres; Dallas, 50,497; Limestone, 46,398, and Cullman, 34,700.

It is estimated that the government in 1934 will pay 130 million dollars to southern farmers for reducing cotton acreages 40 percent. Alabama producers will receive over 10 million dollars for the 1,347,967 acres, which will be removed from cotton this year.

The nine Production Credit Associations recently formed in Alabama are located at Auburn, Ozark, Talladega, Huntsville, Russellville, Tuscaloosa, Demopolis, Bay Minette and Montgomery. Farmers desiring loans for agricultural production through this agency should apply to their county agent.

WELTI BASKET BALL TOURNAMENT

Plans have all been perfected for the independent basketball tournament at Welti, Friday and Saturday, March 2nd and 3rd.

Great interest has been demonstrated in the fact that about twenty teams will be present. We hope you will arrange to see some of these games, since we are sure there will be some most thrilling matches. There will be found in the tournament players of broad reputation for their skill and technique in sinking the skin through the basket, which is the only way to register in a basket ball game. We are fortunate to have three or four players in action that have been written up as all-state players, one for example, is Curtis Bailey, who sank so many through the basket for Cullman high school two years ago. Then we have such old experienced players as Coy Wood of Harmony, who is noted for his ability in handling the ball.

The women of our community will have lunch stands in operation for your convenience, therefore, we sincerely hope to make it a delightful affair for all.

We hope it will be convenient for every basket ball fan to be present and enjoy the full tournament, which will begin at 4:00 o’clock Friday evening until 10 o’clock Friday night, March 2nd, and Saturday morning at 8:15 o’clock until finished Saturday night about 10 o’clock, March 3.
