On Cotton Seed
J. Walter Hammond, president
of the Texas Farm Bureau Fed-
eration, who last month was the
sparkplug in the fight which led
to Secretary of Agriculture Bran-
nan's announcement of the three-
point grain storage program which
saved producers of Texas $45,000,-
000, today dispatched a wire .to
Congressman Bob Poage, chair-
man of the Texas delegation in
Washington, urging that he rally
the support of '^he hardhitting
Texas members of Coneys be-
hind a concerted effort wSget the
Secretary to provi^f ,a support
prfog fnr a program
that will s&vS Texas cotton farm-
ers twenty million dolla&3
','Seed are selling for $34 as
compared to $90 last season,"
Hammond told Poage. "There is
a support price on soy beans," he
deelared, "and cotton farmers can-
not understand why the Secretary
does not support the price of cot-
tonseed when the same Act of
Congress provides, a support price
for both of these competitive com-
modities, which in the case of cot-
tonseed would be S55 a ton.!!
Hammond foresaw developments
in the cottonseed crisis and start-
ed contacting Washington offici-
als on the problem several weeks
ago. Today he renewed his efforts
as cotton harvest reached full
blast in South Texas and produ-
~ T^s^^ssra~tRFT^ae?aTi6n "presi-
dent for help. Hammond told Po-
age that by organized effort- and
immediate action the Texas dele-
gation could save the cotton farm-
ers of Texas alone 20 million dol-
lars.

West Texas CC
Works For New
Dam Program
In line with the proposal of the
West Texas Chamber of Com-
merce that domestic water be giv-
en priority in any criteria for dam
building, 25 West Texas towns on
the Brazos watershed this week
launched a new drive for an ap-
propriation of more than 300,000
acre feet of water—"for the Bob
Baskin reservoir.
The request is being filed with
the Board of Water Engineers by
the city of Haskell acting as agent
for the other towns along the
Double Mountain and Salt Forks
of the Brazos. .
At the same time these towns
took their demands to Washington
with a request for a resurvey of
the project by the Bureau of Re-
clamation, using the same criteria
developed in the proposal of the
$87 million Canadian dam serving
11 towns in the Panhandle-Plains
area.
Manager D.' .A Bandeen of the
WTCC, Who recently prepared a
report on the West Texas Water
shortage damages and application
of the Hoover Commission's do-
mestie^ - water— recommendations,
next week will take to Austin an
official resolution from the Hask>
ell city council, asking for the
appropriation.
A request was sent to Washing-
ton this week by John Couch,
president of the Bob Baskin Dam,
Assn., ror. a resurvey by "the"Re-
clamation Bureau. Bandeen said
this request was made in line with
the criteria proposed by the WTC-
C which would give domestic wa-
ter priority in all multi-purpose
dam construction.
This program has been finding
wide-spread approval in official
circles and, according to Congress-
man Mahon who.says, "the think-
ing of the Bureau of Reclamation
is undergoing a drastic --change.
The Bureau is enthusiastically
supporting the Canadian project,
even, though it is almost exclusive-
ly a municipal water supply pro-
ject.'".
Letters from high officials com-
mending the WTCC program for
revision of the dam building .crit-
eria have been pouring into1 the
Abilene WTCC office for two
weeks. They include letters from
Herbert Hoover, chairman of the
Hoover Commission, whi *. recom-
mended in its report that domes-
tic water be given first priority in
criteria for multi-purpose dam
building. Other members of the
commission who have written to
Bandeen are Arthur S. Flembing,
Jos. P. Kennedy and C. J. Brown,
Brown suggested that copies of
the WTCC report be sent to all
members of congress.
Senators * Tom Conn
Lyndon Johnson, .together with
Congressman jDmarjBurleson, jau.-
gene Worley and George Mahon,
have also added their commenda-
tion to the program. Likewise let-
ters have come from the United
States C of C and the National
Association' of State Chambers oi-
Commerce. One of the last letters
Gov. Beauford Jester wrote before
his death was one of commenda-
tion of the WTCC formula.
