production of certain types of con-
sumer's goods.
Wide margins of gains for June
over June last year were cited in al-
most all the bureau's indexes of the
Texas business—the component index
made up of six major business factors
climbing to 114.9 or 16.5 points ovei
June, 1940.
Employment—up 11.9 per cent ov-
er June, 1940.
Payrolls—up 26.6 per cent.
Department store sales— up 19. *
per cent.
Electric power consumption—up
9.5 per cent.
Lumber production— up 10.4 per
cent; shipments—up 15.8 per cent:
unfilled orders at the end of the
month—up 180.9 per cent.
Building permits up 46 percent.
Commercial failures—down 16./
pet cent in number, down 44.5 per
cent in liabilities.
Only discordant notes in the pict-"
ure were the declines in the number
of new firms incorporating under.'
state law and in the purchasecs of
savings bonds. Charters dropped from
C)7 in lime. 1040, to only 48 for last
month, with a slump from $1,060,000
to $651,000 in aggregate capital in-
vested, while money invested in sav-

est cities declined 19.3 per cent from

Retail Sales to Reach
High Peak This Fan
Forecast of autumn retail sales
zooming to the highest peak in the
history of this- state Was made this
week by a University of Texas stat-
istician in surveying flourishing Texas
business.
While Texas business reveals less
spectacular gains than in the country
at large, the coming months hold a
bright prospect for Texam, Dr. F. A.
Buechel, associate director of the Un-
iversity's Bureau of Business Resear-

Tenant Farmers May Now
Apply For Homes
A chance to become farm owners
came today to Stonewall County
tenant farmers. Robert C. Pope, the
Farm Security Administration super-
visor, announced that he was receiv-
ing applications for long-term, low-
interest farm ownership loans.
Mr. Pope received notification that
Secretary of Agriculture Wickard
had designated Stonewall County as
one in which the Department of Ag-
riculture's tenant purchase program
would operate. The loans are pro-
vided for by the Bankhead-Jones
Farm-Tenant Act, administered by
FSA.
The loans are to be made to ten-
ant farmers, sharecroppers ,and farm
laborers to buy their own family-sire
farm. Applications for the loan may
be made at the Farm Security office,
located at the County Court House
in Haskell County, or from the coun-
ty agent, Stonewall County.
For the purpose of choosing farm
families to whom these loans will be
made, a county committee of three
farmers is being organized now," Mr.
Pope said. "The committee is to de-
cide on applicants, taking into con-
sideration the character, farming a-
bility and experience of the family.
Preference will be given those which
own sufficient livestock and equip-
ment to carry on farming operations.
The loans are repayable over a 40-
year period and bear three per cent
interest, A new feature of the loan*
is the variable payment plan, Which
provides for larger payments in years
of good crops and good prices to lay
up a surplus of years of poor yields
and prices .
Mr. Pope said that families chos-
en for the loans select the farm they
want to buy and that the number of
loans made in Stonewall County are
to be limited by available money, the
number of worthy applicants yul sup*
ply of reasonably priced IfilB. The"
loan can - include enough money to
repair or build the house, barn, or
other farm buildings if the borrow-
er cannot find a fully improved farm
for sale.
FSA supervisors give the borrow-
ers, ad vice and assistance in making
their annual farm and home [Manage-
