Government Figure
15,593,000 Bales
Brings Slump
Of
A sharp break in prices of cot-
ton futures Monday echoed the
government's estimate of a 1937
cro? of nearly 15,600,000 bales.
The market was down from ar-
ound $1.25 to nearly $2.00 a bale
as trading was resumed after an
interruption while the report was
being received.
October contracts dropped be-
low 10.50 cents a pound.
In anticipation of a heavy crop
estimate, cotton futures had been
dropping for several weeks. In
March, preceding a spring break
in speculative markets cotton
had pushed above 15 cents.
Private estimates in the trade
recently had ranged from 14,600,-
000 to 15,700,000 for an average
of 15,200,000. The government's
figures were well above trade
exjJefctations judging by most es-.
tiroates.*
Consumption of cotton in the
United States and the world in
the season just ended set new
records. However, the indicated
bigger American "crop came in
wake of several seasons of reduc-
ed exports. Moreover foreign
growths, particularly in Brazil,
have beten 'Increasing and filling
the hole in world usage left by
the decline in exports from the
United States. ..
The outburst of selling dropped
prices to new lows for the year
and put cotton men on the alert
for political repercussions in light
of recent demands from Southern
congressmen for resumption of
federal loans on cotton to bolster )
the market against further de- j
cline. The government, it was
i in a
i afternoon. This is the second in a
j series of matches being played by
the Rusk Golfers. Troup players
administered a sound beating to
the local team in Troup recently
and the local team has been prac-
ticing faithfully in an effert to
avenge the defeat.
The Rusk team will be selected
from these players!

Soil Conservation Notes
From Jacksonville Camp
The summer monthts, after
crops are "laid by", afford an
excellent opportunity for farmers
cooperating with the Soil Con-
servation Service, to make a
complete check on your farms
and get well in mind the work
that remains yet to be done in
order to carry out a complete,
well-planned 9oil conservation
program. This will not only make
your program more satisfactory
to you, but will cut down on the
amount of time the contact man
will have to spend on each farm,
thereby giving him an opportun-
ity to cover more farms and do a
better job.
A cooperative project has re-
cfently been started between the
State Highway Department, the
Soil Conservation Service and

be only conjecture until official

Following is a copy of the of-
ficial notice asking for bids on
the construction of the building:

publicly opened in this office at
1 P. M.., July 16, 1937, for con-
struction of the U. S. P. O. at
Rusk, Texas. Upon application,
one set of drawings and specifi.

ted in submitting a proposal. The
above drawings and specifica-
MUST be returned to this office.
Contractors requiring additional

business men at Jacksonville un-
der the sponsorship of Clarence
DeBusk, secretary of the chamber
of commerce and County Agri-
cultural Agent C. M. Heald. Ov-

ed.
The club will meet twice each
month for luncheons with agri-
cultural ttopics. on the program
functioning similar to other
luncheon clubs except that the
local agricultural development
program will be its principal in-
terest.
The agricultural program in-
cludes many phases besides the
soil conservation idea which has
been pretty much to the fore-
front lately. Eight trench silos
have recently been completed in
the county and filled and three
or four more are under construc-
tion. The largest silo holds sev-
enty-five tons and is on the J.
O. Holmes farm in the Reklaw
community.
Other projectts are 4-H Club

Arthur, who did the preaching,
is a popular speaker. His humor-
ous sallies as well as his preach-
ing attracted many people.
H. P. Black of Longview, who
led the singing, did his work well.
The temper of the Jneeting was
