A Mere Beginning
Less than three months ago His Excellency, Arch-*
bishop Driwsaerts, issued his historic call for the larm-
r*’ unity.
A great meeting was held then at llallettsville in
which more than eight thousand farmers participated.
The Farmers’ League started spreading rapidly from
larm to farm, from parish to parish.
Today more than sixty communities have organized
a branch of the Farmers’ League.
More than six thousand farmers united in this move-
ment.
And new branches are arising every week and hun-
dreds of farmers are joining the League.
Although these results already are commanding at-
tention and" respect, this is a mere beginning.
It is simply a skeleton of what the Farmers’ League
must _ and let us hope — will be in order to fulfill its
mission.
Hundreds and thousands more branches have to be
organized yet.
Tens of thousands of farmers must be added to this
movement.
It has 1<> spread not only within this state but
into other states as well.
*****
Through disunity you fell: through unity you must rise.
Hut it will be a gigantic task.
You will need the ablest leaders possible — the kind
the farmers never had before.
And you must have qne organ — a soul of the move-
ment, to keep the ranks united and interested.
For you have to thatch the power of the other
two groups — industry and labor, strongly organized.
*'****
And what are your aims?
Lower tariff to restore your lost markets abroad and
revive business at home.
Lower freight rates to provide a better distribution
for your products.
More people on farms and less unemployed in the
cities where there is no hope for them.
More owners, less tenants among farmers—to restore
ownership among you farmers, so essential to the stability
of this country itself.
All of these essential aims are attainable.
The present conditions are possible only because of
vour disunity.
They raised the tariff and, increased the freight rates

Again Farmer Is Paying
Tomatoes in this section bring from 25 to 50 cents
per hundred pounds or more.
Onions in Karnes City section are bringing 10 cents
a sack.
Red l>eets and other vegetables in Corpus Christi
section had to be left rotting in the field.
Here the farmer can not sell his tomatoes and in
cities the majority can not afford to buy them.
The producer gets almost nothing for onions while
the consumer pays 5 cents a pound for them.
And it does not even pay the Corpus Christi farmer to
pick his beets and other vegetables for market.
What is happening?
Nothing unusual, only again the farmer is paying
for his own helplessness.
He is paying for the high cost of transportation.
He is paying for the lack of distribution.
He is paying for the depression.
He is paying for the unemployment.
He is paying for the unprotected market.
He is paying for the high tariff.
He is selling cheap and buying dear.
Is there any wonder that 70 per cent of the farmers
in this state do not own the land they till!
Is there any wonder that 92 per cent of the farm
property in Texas is mortgaged?
Is there any wonder that 10,000 American farmers
annually are losing their farms?
Congress is seeing' to it that the city worker has
his minimum wage stipulated by law.
Congress is seeing to it that the city worker does not
have to work more than 14 hours per week.
Congress is always ready to respond to the power
of American labor and advance its welfare.
And so, dear farmers, it will remain unless you help
yourselves by unity.
Yes, lieside the united industry and labor must stand
the united farmers! _
San Antonio
. John’s Seminary
New officers for the term
of 1938-39 were elected Sun-
day by the St. John's Ma jor
Seminary Unit of the CSMC
at the last general meeting of
the year. Alexander Wangler
was chosen president: Rev.
Mr. E. Lloyd Natuli. vice-
president; Henry Herbst,
treasurer; and Roy Rilin,
secretary.
Prior to the election of of-
ficers the various committee
reports for the first year’s
activities of the unit were
delivered and approved. A
new undertaking, a Catholic
correspondence course, was
enthusiastically voted upon
to be included in next year’s
Crusade program.
As the final act of the
meeting, after new officers
had been inducted a unani-
mous resolution of thanks
was voted by the member-
ship to the Organization Com
mittee, to the class of 1938,
and to the retiring officers.
The entire unit likewise ap-
proved a motion that applica-
tion be made to the National
Crusade Headquarters for
the granting of the honorary
Paladin Award to Rev. Vin-
cent J. Wolf, the out-going
president.
On the preceding Thurs-
day, Mav 19, the Crusaders
were privileged to hear an
exposition of the “Spanish
Question’’ in a lecture deliv-
ered bv Brother Herbert
Leies, S. M„ of St. Mary’s
University of San Antonio.
In a most interesting
hour’s talk. Bro. Leies point-
ed out the many complex
factors that combine to make
up the Spanish Question of
todav. He emphasized the
fact that history, geography,
politics, and religion all have
an important share in the
struggle in which the coun-
try is engaged. He ascribed
the fierce fighting to the
intense individualism of th°
various groups.
In conclusion, Bro. Leies
predicted that in his opinion,
the new government of Spain
will be relatively conservative
without anv of the strong
“isms” in the ascendency
l4'
/
west of town, and that the
Coburn Production Co. has
blocked over 2000 acres just
Northwest of town which is
to be drilled soon.

All too often, Beer is just the decoy...
...yet, all too often, Beer gets the blame!
Beer is an hone9t drink . . . mild, whole-
some, refreshing. “There is nothing more
promising to combat the evil of too much
alcohol than the opportunity of drinking
good beer.”
And we brewers are with you 100%
in every honest effort to improve condi-
tions under which beer is sold. We are
against sales to minors, or after legal
hours; we are against use of beer licenses
as screens for selling illicit liquor or for
operating illicit resorts.
