Arrangements for the organisa-
tion of a Cooke County Agricul-
tural Association were in progress
this week, as leading Cooke coun-
ty fanners in various sections
planned community meetings for
the purpose of terming agriculture
groups.
The Valley View Agriculture as-
sociation, organized last week,
made the first step in forming the
county-wide association. The or-
ganization, composed of 35 of the
farmers in the Valley View com-
munity, elected Joe (Bpringer and
Jack Martin to head the group,
as president and vice president,
respectively.
In the Hays community, C. B.
Sears has been elected president
of a temporary group, to be in
charge of organization. Farmers
in that is e c 11 o n are said to be
showing interest in the proposed
association. Much interest in the
program has also been reported in
Dexter, Wolf Ridge, Callisburg,
and other large rural communities
in the county.
In an interview Wednesday, -
Charles Clark, county agent, who
is aiding in arrangements, stated
that at least ten community or-
ganizations must be formed before
a county-wide association could be
perfected.
Affiliation with state and fed-
eral agriculture association,
which might be effected by the
proposed local group, is said by
farm leaders to be of aid to in-
dividual farmers in complying
with the federal farm program,
and to promote farm education.
Mr. Clark explained that through
such a group, the extension serv-
ice of Texas A&M college could be
carried to more individuals, thus
serving a larger number with more
efficiency.

House Committee in
Recess After Failure
To Reach Agreement
. AUSTIN, Tex., Feb. 22
(AP).—Deadlocked after sev-
eral votes on proposals to
raise the truck load limit, a
house committee early today
recessed and left dangling the
controversial issue that had
stirred the state for weeks.
Just a few hours before Attor-
ney General Gerald C. Mann was
to appear before the supreme
court to ask that district court in-
junctions restraining state officers
from enforcing the law be vacated,
the commitee terminated bitter ar-
guments by failing to make a rec-
' ommendation.
Mann, in his appeal to the court,
sought to "remove ruling of the
Mate by injunction and not the
~ constitution.”
The house committee first re-
jected, 10-10, a substitute by Rep.
