Congressman Martin Dies of
Texas, who wit) speak undey the
auspices of more than 100 patriotic
societies on the night of June 21.
from 9:30 to 10:00 p. m., over the
National Broadcasting System. Con-
gressman Dies wiii piead for im-
mediate passage of his biii to per-
manently stop immigration fron
'very country, deport the 3,500,000
aiiens which he says are unlawfully
in this country and give to Amer-
icans aii jobs from which, Dies
claims, 6,000,000 aiiens are deriving
their tiveiihood in this country.
Some four or five miiiion members
of these patriotic orders wiii be
iistening in.
Tomato shipments have about held
the same ratio as iast week. Up to
tast night 107 cars had been biiied out
of Aito, 94 of these being ioaded at
Alto, three at Rediawn, two at
Brunswick and eight at Forest. In
addition to car ioadings, about 15
cars had been shipped out by various
trucking concerns, these being mostiy
No. 2's.
The rain Tuesday wiii iikeiy causa
the shipping season to protong
throughout next week, but shippers
state that the quaiity of the fruit is
far from what it shouid be, and the
price is not expected to go very high
on the tomatoes that are now being
brought in.
The market continues to hoi)
good, and a brisk demand is being
made for tomatoes, and no doubt
many farmers wiii get the oppor-
tunity to ship aii of their stock be-
fore the season finaiiy closes.

"Texas, the Goiiath" among the
commonwealths, occupies aii of the
continent of North America except a
smaii part set aside for the United
States, Canada, and Mexico. Texas
owns the north haif of the Rit
Grande, the oniy dusty river in the
worid and one of the few rivers in
the worid with onebank wet and the
other dry, and aiso the oniy one, with
the possibie exception of the Trinity,
which is navigabie for pedestrians
and mud cats.
* * +
Texas is bounded on the north by
twenty-five or thirty states, on the
east by aii the oceans in the worid
except the Pacific, on the south by
the Guif of Mexico and South Amer-
ica and on the west by the Pacific
Ocean, the Miiky Way and the Side-
reai Universe.
If Texas were chopped ioose from
the rest of the United States and the
Panhandie, it would fioat out into the
ocean, for it rests upon a vast sub-
terranean sea of oii. Underneath
Texas they have been down oniy eight
thousand feet or so for oii and up in
the air Texas has in Guadaiupe Peak.
9,500 feet above sea ievei, the highest
hiii in the United States east of the
Rockies.

Texas is so big that the peopie of
Brownsviiie caii Fort Worth peopie
Yankees and citizens of Ei Paso sneer
at the citizens of Texarkana as being
snobs of the effete East. It is farther
from Texarkana to Ei Paso than it is
from Chicago to New York, and Tex-
arkana is cioser to Miiwaukee by air-
line than it is to Ei Paso (try this on
your Rand-McNaiiy.) The United
States with Texas ieft out wouid

Terrier.
Down on the King ranch the front
gate is one hundred and fifty miies
from the front porch and the owner
is thinking of moving the house back
so as not to be annoyed by passing
autom&biles. Other Texas iandiords
have whoie mountain ranges on their
ranches, and one Texan has forty
miies of navigabie river on his farnt.

To move the Texas com crop
wouid take a string of box cars
ionger than the distance between New
York and San Francisco. If the
1,500,000 tons of suiphur mined in
Texas annuaiiy were in the hands
of his Satanic Majesty, they wouid
soive his fuei problem. If aii the cot-
ton grown in Texas were baied and
buiit into a stairway, it wouid reach
to the Peariy Gates. If the 213,-
768,000 barreis of oii produced in
Texas tast year were made into gas-
oline, it wouid run a Ford car thru
out eternity. If aii the hogs in Texas
were one hog, he wouid dig the
Panama Canai in three roots and one
grunt. If aii the Texas steers were
one steer, he couid stand with hia
front feet in the Guif of Mexico, his
hind feet in Hudson Bay, with his
horns punching hoies in the moon,
and with his tai) brush the mists off
the Aurora Borealis."

Federa) Land
Bank Reduces
tnterest Rate
The interest rate on aii Federai
Land Bank ioans made through Na-
tionai farm ioan associations wiii be
reduced to 3% per cent for aii in-
terest payabie in the one-year period
commencing Juiy 1, 1935 and to 4
per cent for aii interest payabie in
the two-year period commencing Juiy
1, 1936, according to S. F. Harrison,
secretary-treasurer of the Aito Na-
tionai Farm Loan Association. This
announcement was made June 6th
when Mr. Harrison was notified of
the new ioan rate by A. C. Wiiiiams,
president of the Federai Land Bank
of Houston and Generai Agent of
Houston and Generai Agent of the
Farm Credit Administration of
Houston.
This temporary reduction of in.
terest on Federai Land Bank ioans
having instalments due prior to Juiy
1, 1938 is the resuit of new iegisia.
tion, the Farm Credit Act of 1935,
which was signed by President Roose-
veit June 3. Interest payabie on in-
stallment dates occurring after Juiy
30, 1938, wiii be at the originai con-
tract rate, which is 4 1-4 per cent on
toans now being made through Na.
tionai farm ioan associations and
Varies from 5 to 6 per cent on ioans
made prior to Aprii 1, 1935.
The Farm Credit Act of 1,935 aiso
provides for another important in-
ovation. Under its terms, the Land
Bank Commissioner now may make
ioans to finance the purchase of
farms by deserving tenant farmers.
Formeriy, Commissioner ioans could
be made only for the purpose of
financing debts, for repurchasing
farms iost through foreclosure and
for working capita]. The Act extends
to January 1, 1940 the time in whicn
the Land Bank Commissioner may
make direct loans to farmers on first
and second mortgages. The Com.
"missioner loan plus any prior en-
cumbrances on the property may not
exceed 75 per cent of the appraised
normal value. Commenting on the
new provisions Mr. Harrison, said:
"The new provision enabling the
Land Bank Commissioner to make
ioans for the purpose of purchasing
farms provides a new opportunity for
young farmers and deserving tenants
to become farm owners and home
owners in their own right. We shail
be glad to taik things over with
worthy tenants who wish to buy
farms of their own."
Since May 12, 1933, when the
Farm Credit Administration was es-
tabiished, the Federai Land Bank of
Houston, acting for itseif anrj as
agent for the Land Bank Commis-
sioner has made 42,738 ioans aggre-
gating $129,192,350.00. This is al-
most as large as the amount of busi-
ness carried on the books of the bank
on May 1, 1933 after 17 years of
operation. The interest rate reduc-
tion provided by the Act will affect
only Federal land bank ioans, ail of
which are first mortgage ioans. The
interest rate on ^and Bank Commis.
sioner loans, which are made on
either first or second mortgages on
farm property, will remain unchanged
at 5 per cent.
