' Homes Being Sought
Mr. Smith contacted Arthur
Ehrig, local realtor, who has
undertaken the task of obtain-
ing living quarters for the
group. Ehrig asked that any-
one who now has a vacant a-
partment or house or expects
to have a vacancy any time
soon should contact him imme-
diately, so that the McCarthy
group can be brought here.
“I understand the lowest paid
man in the drilling crew draws
$400 a month,” Ehrig said. “So
you can see the importance to
the merchants of Brenham in
bringing these 80 families here.
I hope everything possible will
be done to provide homes for
these good people who want to
come here. I am willing to do
all that I can.”

Cotton Quota Trial
Is Expected Soon
Enterprise Will Bring
Babson's 1950 Forecast
In Next Week’s Issue
De-
be
the
I
for 1949 was 80'. correct.
On December 29, 1948 Mr.
Babson predicted:
(1) That the total volume of
business for 1949 will be less
than that of 1948.
(2) That the peak in whole-
sale commodity prices has been
reached for this cycle.
(3) That Federal taxes will
not be decreased during 1949.
(4) That some labor leaders
will, during 1949, work for pen-
sion systems and sick benefits.
Watch for the Babson Busi-
ness and Financial Outlook for
1950 in our issue of Dec. 29.
The New Ulm Enterprise will
publish Roger W. Babson’s
BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL
OUTLOOK FOR 1950 on Thurs-
day, December 29. You will find
it on page one.
We bring this article to your
attention because our readers
deserve the best. Consequently,
because of Mr. Babson’s out-
standing record for accuracy in
his Annual Forecasts—an aver-
age of 87% for the past 14
years—we are publishing this
feature to give you a preview
of business and finance in 1950.
Washington, Dec. 21. —A
showdown on determining the
legal status of cotton acreage
allotments in Texas for 1950
has been scheduled for January
23.
A suit asking that the
partment of Agriculture
stopped from enforcing
1950 quotas in Texas was filed
by 10 Texas farmers.
In a brief session before Fed-
eral Judge Charles McLaugh-
lin, attorney., for the farmers
agreed not to push for an im-
mediate injunction if an early
hearing is held. A pretrial
hearing was set for January 17
and the case was set for Janu-
ary 23.
An answer to the suit must
be filed by the government at-
torneys by January 13. Secre-
tary Charles Brannan and other
top department officials are
named as defendents. They are
accused by the plaintiffs, who
operate farm* in 11 gulf coast-
al counties, of mininterpreting
the cotton acreage quota law.
A proper construction of the
act, the growers contend, would
give them full credit for lands
planted to such war crops as
grain sorghums and flax dur-
ing the years 1945 and 1948,
inclusive.
They say the procedure used
in allocating the Texas allot-
ment of 7,632,029 among the
counties in the state deprived
their section of approximately
150,000 acres in allotments.

will contain 50 Forecasts cover-
ing such important topics as:

markable record for accuracy in
