LEGISLATIVE LETTER
FROM CEO R. TERRELL
The Legislature declined to ad-
journ Saturday the 17th, as had been
expected. The Governor sent a mes-
sage to the Legislature Saturday
thanking the body for their co-opera-
tion in passing the laws submitted by
him and expressed the opinion that
they would adjourn thf-.t day.
Some of the members did not ap-
preciate thi3 and declared that the
Governor was tryi:.g to adjourn them
without tle'r consent.
A motion was then made and car-
ried t*) rvt"o:ie adjournment until
Wedesda> il'.e 21st.
The Governor's message was cour-
teous and should not h. ve been re-
sented. In fact the Legislature could
have finished the work submitted by
the Governor in ten clays; if they had
not wasted time on measures not sub-
mitted by the Governor. The consti-
tution provides that when the Legis-
lature is in special session that no
measures shall be considered, except
those submitted by the Governor.
Notwithstanding this provision about
150 bills were introduced just to killj
time and get $1C pel day.
The most important measures sub-
mitted by the Governor were:
1. Assuming the outstanding couri
ty and road districts bonds voted to
construct State Highways anil pay>
the same out of one cent gasoline
tax.
2. Remitting all penalties and in-
terest on delinquent t?xes, if paid
before December 31st, 1932.
3. Amending the law applying to
Building and Loan companies, so as
to permit them to take stock in, and
borrow from the Federal Home Loan
Banks recently established by Act of
Congress.
These laws have been passed, ex-
cept the one remitting the penalties
and interest on del.nquet taxes, and
this will probably be passed before
this article is published.

SAVE EARM PRODUCE
EOR COUNTY FAIR
Now is a good time to consider the
saving of choice farm products for
the Fair before they are damaged by
weather and insects. Our County
Fair this year will be October 25 to
29th, The sooner we start selecting
and carir.g for our exhibits the better
they will be when the time comes to
exhibit them. Corn sh'ould not be al-
lowd to stay in the field after it Is
mature because the weevils will be-
gin to get into it and destroy it for
show purposes. It should be gathered
and treated with high life in a tight
container to destroy these insects.
A second treatment about 12 days
later would be adv'seable, using one
ounce of high life to one barrel of
grain, This materia1 is placed in shal-
law trays or lids ard placed on top
of the grain. This treatment should
last 48 hours unles' the grain is to
used for planting purposes in which
case the gas must be removed after
24 hours. Cotton bo'ls should be
gathered before thsy are open too
long and become stringy or soiled.
Rmove the shucks from the bolls and
clip off the stems very close so they
will set up erect for display. The
main thing to do with products after
they are selected is to keep the rats
away from them.
The program ant- premium list of
the Fair will be ready for distribu-
tion next week.
LITTLE THEATRE MEETING
The first of the fall season of
Rusk Little Theatre will be held in
the near future. Exact date of the

business is to come up for discussion
