that such organizations are being
formed in all the cotton growing
states, and the fact that the resour-
ces of the Federal Intermediate Cred-
it Association are to be available for
the retirement of this cotton are said
to be responsible for the fact that cot-
ton has not already sold for $15 to
$20 per bale lower than the lowest
prices the staple has already attain-
ed. He regretted that much of the
cotton is now out of the hands of the
banks have agreed to put $1,000,000
into this pool for each of these cities.
The San Antonio Clearing House has
refused to put a like amount into it
on the ground that there does not ap-
pear to be a need for it there. A
large part of the immense increase in
cotton production this year has been
in the San Antonio territory, two
counties of Nueces and Hidalgo hav-
ing grown nearly 100,000 bales each.
But a large part of that was market-
ed early in the season when cotton
was bringing from 16 to 17 1-2 cents. _____

Baylor-A. & M. Relations
Students of Baylor University have
petitioned the faculty for severance
of athletic relations with A. & M. Col- i
lege because of dissatisfaction grow-1
ing out of the committee report of
the killing of Cadet Sessums in a
mob fight at a recent game between!
the schools. This is not the first
time ill-feeling between these schools
growing out of football games has
become so tense that it has been
thought best to have no further ath-
letic relations with each other. The
feeling is really deeper seated than
the Sessums killing. It is the feud
spirit growing out of football fights.
The trouble is in the game itself,
which differs from all other inter-
collegiate games in that in instills
and develops the fighting spirit. In
other athletic contests the play spirit
predominates, while football has as
its tocsin, “fight”! “Fight! FIGHT!”
When college teams are trained to
“fight” there need be little surprise
when the fighting spirit spreads to
the rooters. HIM
Conservation and Irrigation
Representatives of the states of
Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico
have agreed on the details of a con-’
servation and irrigation project to
cover the upper stretches of the Can-
adian River in which Congress is ex-
pected to render material aid. The
legislatures of the three states will
have to pass favorably on the matter
and the ratification of Congress will
then be sought. A conservation dis-
trict to include Brownwood is voting
this month on bonds for the initial
expense of a huge water conservation
project. Texas is fast coming into
the proper appreciation of its valu-
able water resources.

"SEVERAL years ago I was

John Bunch, R F. D. 3, Colum-
bia, S. C. "I could not do
of my work. . I was so wes
could not wash a dish. My back
and sides hurt me at times
dreadfully. I dragged around
until I finally got down in bed."
Then, explains Mrs. Bunch,
she happened to read about
Cardui, and decided to give it
a thorough trial, the results
of which she describes below:
“It seemed to reach the
cause of my trouble at once.
I did not take it long before
my appetite began to improve.

pounds until now I weigh 125
pounds. I soon was able to

Mr. Adams is not worrying himself
about whether or not the farmers
will produce crops. His big concern
is to see an organisation effected that
will market our cotton and other pro-
ducts in a sensible way. He thinks
that we ought to copy the example
of California in solving our market
problems. That, tile speaker said, is
not a problem for the farmer alone.
It is a problem to challenge the best
judgment and the patriotism of ev-
ery man—and particularly of those
who have means.
In conclusion Mr. Adams expressed
his faith in the resources and possi-
bilities of East Texas, and stated
that were he to retire from the bank-
ing business he could think of noth-
ing he’d like to do more than to make
his home in East Texas. :
“BIG LANDLORD AND BIG
BANKER CAUSE OF TOO
MUCH COTTON”,—TBRRELL
In a recent issue of the State’s
Marketing Bulletin, George B. Ter-
rell of Cherokee county. Commission-
er of Agriculture, declared that “the
big landlord and the big banker are
the cause of too much cotton being
grown." “They furnish supplies and
loan money on cotton as security,”
he added.
“The cotton producer in the South”
he declared, "is not the landlord, but
is a tenant, half-hand or hired hand.
The landlords, whether farmers,
bankers, merchants, or professional
men, have caused too much cotton
to be planted, and it should not be
charged against the man who actual-
ly cultivates and gathers the crop.
He is powerless to help himself as
he must cultivate the crops required
by the landlord or move on.
“If seventy-five per cent or eighty
per cent of the farmers owned their
homes they would grow more of the
comforts of life, more livestock,* and
build better homes than the shack
in which many of them live, and the
cotton crop would be materially re-
duced and the price would be mate-
rially advanced, and the whole coun-
try would be better off, except the"
fellows who plunder the producers.
“The lack of homes is the main
cause of too much cotton and low
prices, yet there is no effort by
wealthy people, or by the State gov-
ernment, to evolve a plan to aid wor-
thy tenants to secure homes on long
time at a low rate of interest.” :
SMITH CO. GINNERS’ REPORT
According to Sam H. Shelton, Agt.
of the Federal Government collect-
ing statistics on cotton, there were
35,798 bales of cotton of the crop
of 1926 ginned in Smith county, prior
to Nov. 1, 1926, as compared with
46,534 bales of the 1925 crop ginned
in the county to the corresponding
date in 1925. :
