Frank 0. Landrum
Explains Marketing
Information comes to us from
Washington that Draper & Company
of Boston, have been appointed sell-
ing agents far (he National Wool
Marketing Corporation, and this firm
will handle all wool and mohair sold
through the cooperatives.
In talking with Dob Davis Tues-
day morning early on the selection
oi this company to handle the clips
for the cooperatives, we felt that some
trouble would result from this selec-
tion, as nearly all the fight in Tex-
as was centered on this agency and its
buying forces during the past several
mouths,. and it look as if the grow-
ers had crossed a deep river only to
again have to turn about and rc-cress
at the same high-water mark.
F. O. Landrum, in his address be-
fore the membership of the American
Angora Goat Breeders’ Association
in Rocksprings Tuesday, dispelled
these fears, by making the statement
that tills company had entered into
a contract witli the National Wool
Marketing Corporation to act as a
selling agent only, and the price for
which wool would be sold will be set
by the committee under which this
company will work.
The company has five men located
in Texas: J. M. Lea, who has been
here more than 10 years; E. O. Ag-
lesby; Jack Hughes; Abe Mayer Jr.,
and Ernest Woodward. It has hand-
led around 10 million pounds of wool
and mohair annually and has been
one of the biggest operators in the
state.
The company grew out of the old
firm of Crimmins and Pierce which
djssol'fqd in 1920 and Draper and
associates members of that firm have
become the largest company grow-
ing out of the Crimmins and Pierce.
Paul Draper, president of the com-
pany, and Joe Draper, vice president,
were here when the National Wool
Marketing Association was formed1 at
the National Wool Growers conven-
tion and were in conference several
times with members o fthc coopera-
tive. The company handles a large
volume of wool and mohair in the
state and has been one of the leaders
in contract buying.

NOTICE
A very, severe cold spell struck this
section of the southwest last Thursday
night, and early Friday morning the
thermometer stood at around five de-
grees below zero. The weather remain- 4-4tp
ed cold all day Friday, and a hard
freeze was experienced again Fri-
day night, with rising / temperature
Saturday morning, and Sunday was
ushered in bright and warm.
Again on Monday afternoon another
cold wave swept this portion of the
country, and Tuesday morning the
thermometer stood between 8 and 10
degrees hove zero, which lasted thru-
out the day, with another freeze Tues-
day night. Wednesday opened below
the freezing point, and Wednesday
night slight freezes were reported ov-
er the county.
The city water service lias experien-
ced a heavy blow during this period
of unprecedented weather, and at
times the entire city was cut off from
water, on account * of mains freezing
at the meter boxes, while a majority
of the residences of the city, had froz-
en pipes throughout the houses. The
pumps at the city water works were
badly damaged by the freeze, and re-
pairs made necessary Sunday, when
the water was turned off.
We have been in touch with ranch-
men all over the county, and from
first-hand information, we predict
that few heads of livestock will he lost
on account of the excessive cold wea-
ther. Sheep and goats reported dead
are confined in a majority of cases to
very old nannies and ewes that were
in had condition before the cold snap
struck, and the loss was expected, and
will not seriously affect the industry.
Bred nannies and ewes were on feed
at the time, and thajj have been well
taken care of, while mutton goats and
sheep were in most excellent condi-
tion, and will weather the cold spell
in good shape.
Brush and weeds in some sections of
the county will still remain green, and
flocks in these sections are not be-
ing fed, but have plenty of choice
feed on the range, while the numerous
caves protect them against the cutting
cold winds.
Taking it alt in all, we feel that Ed-
wards county ranchmen arc faring
much better than those in many sec-
tions of this portion of the stockrais-
ing section of the southwest.

S. P. Stockton ranch near Barksdale

Greets Rodgers
A very enjovable entertainment
was that given by the Cemetery As-
sociation Saturday evening at the high
school auditorium.
Jimmy Rodgers, the popular yode-
ler and Victor recording artist, sang
a number of songs, some of which
vere his owe. compositions. These
appealed greatly" to the music lovers
of this vicinity.
The Rocksprings people had the
pleasure of hearing a real blues sing-
er. This was a great surprise to the
people, for they had expected to hear
only one singer.
Jimmie Rodgers then introduced his
small daughter to the audience, and
having inherited some of her fathers'
ability to sing, she sang and danced.
This was followed by our home talent,
which was appreciated and enjoyed.
Mrs. Peters gave two cntcresting
musical readings, accompanied by
Miss McCoy at the piano. They were:
“I Got the Mumps” and “The Woes
of a Boy.” These selections especially
appealed to the boyp. Miss McCoy
then gave a piano solo. There is no
doubt that everyone was pleased with
this. Mr. and Mrs. O’Connor and son,
Leslie, assisted by the Misses Lan-
men gave two very pleasing orchestra
selection, "Humoresque" and “The
Hungarian Dance.”
Jimmie Rodgers closj^l the pro-
gram with one of his songs, “Sleep
Baby, Sleep.” , ' . * ’ ;
We hope to have many more pro-
