Texas Farmers to
Vote on Corn-Hog
Contract Saturday
COLLEGE STATION—With ap-
jfroximately 36,500 corn-hog con-
tracts expiring on November 30
and another marketing year just
opening, Texas farmers are prepar-
ing to partiicpate in the nation-
wide corn-hog referendum which
will be held Saturday, October 26,
to determine whether they want
controlled or uncontrolled produc-
tion. •
According to E. M. Regenbrecht,
chairman of the State Corn-Hog
Review Board, Texas is not a major
corn and hog producing state, yet
Texas corn and hog producers rio
doubt will have considerable inter-
est in the coming refendum. He
pointed out that the 36,000 con-
tracts of .1935 brought into the
State about $3,750,000 on corn-hog
payments, in addition to other ben-
efits in form of stabilized produc-
tion and improved prices.
"An increase in hog production
is desirable both from the stand-
point of pork producero and users,
since hog numbers were too dras-
tically cut as a result of feed short-
ages brought about by the 1934
drought," he said.
Regenbrecht pointed out that
the increase which is in prospect
now, without any controlled pro-
duction, is likely to be the greatest
in the next three years that the
country has ever seen in a similar
period.
"Violent fluctuations, however, in
pork production react against not
only the farmer but til so livestock
handlers, processors, retailers and
finally, consumers," he went on to
say. "Ten such production cycles
occurring since 1890 have created
periodic gluts and shortages. These
excessive swings in production
have been harmful."

Mow Weeds for
Better Pasture
Says Specialist
COLLEGE STATION. — Pas-
tures are an asset to any farm in
Texas and the most important
step in making these pastures
productive is to mow the weeds,
according to R. R. Lancaster, Ex-
tension pasture specialist.
"Pastures should be mowed at
least once a year," he said, "but
to really get rid of all the weeds
a pasture needs mowing at least
twice a year over a period of a
couple of years. The reason for
mowing weeds is to allow the
neccessary sunlight and moisture
to get to the grasses.''
The Extension pasture special-
ist was emphatic in explaining
that grass is the cheapest, best
and most convenient feed a far-
mer can raise. He pointed out
that keeping a pasture in good
condition will pay back dividends
each year.
"Upland pastures that water
will run off of, that are thinly
sodded," he said, "should be ter-
raced with a couple of plow fur-
rows Tiefore seeding. If this is
done while the ground is moist,
the grasses will likely continue
to grow on these furrows."
Lancaster said that the impor-
tance of dividing a large pas-
ture into smaller divisions and
rotating the livestock from one
division to the other has been
proven worthwhile many times.
He explained that this method
will enable a pasture to carry
more stock than if the large pas-
ture was grazed as one division.
Livestock will'pick out the most
choice grasses in a large pas-
ture and leave the other grasses,
thus retarding the growth of the
best grasses.
"Grass must not be grazed too
close without a rest period,'' Lan-
caster stated, "or the growth of
the grass will be unduly stunted
Regrowth will take place on hea-
vily grazed pastures if a rest
period is observed."
He concluded by again say-
ing that once Texas farmers find
out the real cash value pastures
have, they will eventually all
have one or two pastures on
their farms.
Rains General
over Texas as
Norther Strikes
(By United Press)
Texas awoke Wednesday to find
a stiff norther blowing and rain
falling in most areas. Thermome-
ters had dropped all ove the state
with a near freezing temperature
in the Panhandle.
The highest temperature was at
Brownsville where the reading was
79, and the lowest reported was at
Amarillo where the thermometer
read 32 at 7 a. m.
Rainfall was imported from 1 to
2 inches over most of the state with
the exception of the extreme south
portion.
At 7 Wednesday morning Dallas
had a temperature of 46, more than
a 30 degree drop from 4 p. m. Tues-
day. Abilene was shivering at 40,
Palestine 50, Corpus Christi 74 and
Galveston 76.
Rain continued to fall over most
of the state and temperature was
due to drop even lower Wednesday
night. Snow was falling in the
Panhandle and the laregst part of
North Texas will probably get a
heavy frost Thursday morning.
Would Keep U. S.
Out of Olympics
in Jewish Issue
NEW YORK, Oct. 21 (U.R) —
President Jeremiah T. Mahoney of
the Amateur Athletic Union told
German officials of the 1936 Olym-
pic games by mail today that ho
was convinccd Jews were being dis-
criminated Against and ho would
opposo American participation in
the games.
William B. Chamberlain, secre-.
tary of the committee on fair play
in sports, organized to seek with-
drawal of the United States from
the Berlin games, will meet Brig.
Gen. Charles H, gherill yhen he re-
turns from Europe today to urge
him to join the protestors. Sherill
is the American member of the In-
ternational Olympic committee.
At Mountain Lakes, N. J., the
Rev., Charles S. McFarland, emeri-
tus general secretary of the federal
council of the Churches of Christ
in America and author of a recent-
ly published book on German condi-
tions, joined Mahoney in replying
to German statements that Jewish
Athletes are being given equal op
portunity with "Aryans" to qual-
ity for the Olympicts. i
Mahoney, former state supreme
court justice, wrote to Theodore
Lewald, president of the German
Olympic committee, that he had in
vestigated charges of racial dis-
crimination and found them true.
Even Catholics and Protestants
who do not conform to Nazi politi|
cal creeds, he charged, are being
harassed from participation in the]
[games.
BThe Amateur Athletic Associa-|
Won, which rules American amateur
policies, stipulated in 1933 that it
would consent to participation in
|the Berlin games only if there
were no racial discrimination. Ma-
honey investigated conditions of
Ithe games in conformity with that
(resolution. Sherill has said he be-
lieves America should participate.
