No problem in America is more
ini port ant than the problem of hu-
msn relations. All morality. all
cl aracter, all so-called spiritual
development, can be measured only
terms of human relations and the
responsibilities which they entail.

(such erring wretches as.the Ctiero
boys, and out of the goodness of
that big. charitable heart give us
such parental advice as. in your
own immaculate conception, should
epen our eyes to the beauty :and
purity of your own noble and un-
blemished character, and induce us
to trail meekly along in the foot- 1
steps of such an illustrious moral
hero. May one faint ray of that

i thy senorium straight as an arrow

As to the article in your daily en-
cylopedia britanica of t recent date
referring to Cuero boys needing
“wholesome correction." we can
only draw the conclusion that, j
whoever the author may be, he is j
one of those characters who scrib-
ble for the press because he has a i
prurient itch to see what he Writes j
in public print.
It might be possible, should the '
City of Ros£S, under your super-.
vision erect, a house of correction,
that she would receive a few appli- j
cants from abroad.
Should we be so unfortunate as j
to cross the •''dark river" and meet j
the writer of the article in question :
and his Satanic Majesty deem us ;
worthy as lieutenants, we will have j
a good thing to push along, and

t Howe, ed tor of the Amarillo Globe is throwing ai\-
rty for the mothers-in-law of Amarillo. It’s the one
stared especially for mothers-ln-law. Can’t
why this member of the family comes In for so
ig. Mothers-ln-law have to Rut up with a lot
daughters-in-law and sons-in-law on too many
short growing season. But in more recent years the big
butter and cheese men have recognized the advantages
of the South* with its mild winters and ten month sea-:
.-on for growing feed.
And here is fact No. 1 about local dairying. Buyers
for two nationally known milk concerns declare milk
and cream produced in DeWitt county are better than
that found anywhere in the state. They declare DeWitt
county has a natural advantage over any other county,
because of the great variety of feed crops that can be
produced from its diversified soils.
Here is fact No. 2. Sweet cream production has de-
creased in the past four years at leastjone-third. The
Crescent Valley Creamery formerly paid farmers in this
section as much as $50.000*per month, for their sweet
cream. Today they are paying less than $20,000. The lo^
cal plant has found it necessary to ship in cream from as
far away as Nebraska to meet the demand for Valley
Gold butter.
If a dairy expert could through his full time efforts
over a five year period increase local production to its
old time figure this would mean an additional $30,000
per month or $150,000 per year and the dairy farmers
would have this to spend and most of it would find its
way into local trade channels. This dairy demonstrator
would cost tl.e Chamber of Commerce only $150 per
month or SlbOO per year.
The third demonstrator on the Chamber of Com-
merce payroll would be a Diversified Cash Crop Expert.
It would be his duty to line up acreage, secure produc-
tion and provide a market for small cash crops to sup-
plement the revenues of DeWitt corn and cotton farmers.
During January and February he would secure tomato
acreage, assist in preparing hot beds and cold frames
and would arrange for buyers to be here to purchase
crops. Peanuts, strawberries, cabbage and vegetables are
among other things that might be planted and marketed
under his direction. One of his most important duties
would be to secure a market for crops that Cuero farm-
ers produce and secure sufficient acreage to allow carlot
or truck shipments. His full time efforts should result in
thousands of dollars in additional revenues to DeWitt
farmers and mean much extra business for local citizens
who would contribute to his support through the Cham-
ber of Commerce. A practical farmer for this job should
be available for $150 per month.
The $10,000 Chamber of Commerce Guarantee Fund
could be provided from the regular Chamber of Com-
merce budget by setting aside for this purpose $167 per
month. At the end of five years this fund would total
$10,000. It would be a good will gesture from the Cuero
business men to the farmer. Loans would not be made di-
4T
rect to farmers but this fund could be invested in good
municipal bonds and deposited with local banks as a
guarantee that loans made to farmers for the purpose of
improving their turkey or poultry flocks, building poul-
try houses or dairy barns, purchasing more cows, or seeds
for planting would be repaid. Local banks with no
chance to lose should be willing to make loans at a rate
of 5 per cent to 6 per cent. Since loans would be approved
inly on recommendation of one of the three demonstra-
tors to tho^l farmers who have shown a willingness to
cooperate in this program, losses should be negligible.
Interest earned from the bonds should almost offset
losses on loans of this nature to the farmers. Govern-
ment reports show that a very small percentage of loans
made farmers for their crops were unpaid in. this pounty.
In addition to the three demonstrators • and the
guaranty fund to be provided by the increased budget
the present set up of a secretary and office ' manager
could be maintained at a cost not to exceed $200 month-
ly for salary and office expenses. He would carry on his
present duties, handle collections, generally supervise
work and take care of office corf espondence and that of
,the, three demonstrators.
METHOD OF FINANCE.
The present income fo the Chamber of Commerce is
approximately $250 per month. The entire program out-
lined above could be carried out at a cost of only $900
monthly for five years and at the end of that timie the
Chamber of Commerce would have a loan fund on (hand
of $10,000.- less such losses as might result fronj bad
loans. ;
The Record believes a program of this kind edn be
easily financed. We believe the Chamber of Commerce
membership could be easily doubled should this program
be undertaken and that with few exceptions present
contributors would doitble the amount of their mohthly
subscriptions.
One local firm now contributing S2.50 per nionth
to the Chamber has authorized a subscription of $26 per
month to this program and more if necessary. A local
grocer now paying S2 will make it S10.
The packing houses, creamery and local tanks
should contribute heavily toward this program.
Chamber of Commerce officials could reasonably’ ex-
pect a minimum of S5 monthly from every business
house in the city, since success of a single project would
mean many thousands of dollars turned loose in local
trade channels. Many are now paying only $1.00 me nth-
ly and some are not on the roll.
The city government should pledge $100 a month
to this program. It is in line with the campaign pledge
of Mayor Newman to promote a more friendly feeling
between the city and its farm neighbors and it would
benefit every business firm, some of whom are the rAtyw
•iargest tax payers.
The program should not be undertaken ror less than
five years because that much time would be require i for
demonstrators to secure maximum results. Adverse con-
ditions in a single year might* cause a single part o: the
program to fail.
