Texas Leader In
Marketing Service
Texas leads in every department of
the cotton marketing service offered
by the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, E. A. Miller, agronomist of the
Texas A. and M. Extension Service,
has announced.
Quoting form information furnish-
ed by the Agricultural Marketing
Service, he said applications had been
approved for 286 Texas cotton
groups, made up of 15,544 farmers
with 628,577 acres planted to cotton
of approved varieties.
Oklahoma had the second largest
number of cotton groups with 106,
and the second largest acreage, 352,-
603 but Mississippi, with 11,455
farmers ranked second in that de-
partment.
Altogether applications from 914
groups made up of 64,247 farmers
and 1,762,954 acres were approved
for the cotton states.
The cotton marketing service, of-
fered under the terms of the Smith-
Doxey Act, provides free classing
and market news to members of ap-
proved one-variety cotton associa-
tions in order that growers may
know the correct grade, staple, and
value of their cotton.
There are 415 one-variety cotton
associations, with 27,066 members
and 997,358 acres, in Texas, but
many did not apply for the service
'because the bulk of their crop was
already harvested, Miller said.
Speed Up Payments
For Soil Building
A new payment process which will
speed up delivery of checks 60 to 90
days and stimulate soil-building op-
erations under the AAA farm pro
gram was announced here this week.
The new arrangement will apply to
1939 conservation payments sched-
uled to start flowing to approximate-
ly 600,000 Texas farmers and ranch-
men about October 20, B. F. Vance,
assistant state AAA administrator,
said.
Under previous regulations it
would not have been possible to start
paying 1939 conservation checks un-
til December 31, the deadline Jor
carrying out soil-building practices
under the '39 program.
First applications received in the
College Station state headquarters of
the AAA were from Bosque county.
Along with Delta and Williamson
counties, Bosque will be among the
first to receive any 1939 soil conser-
vation payments, Vance said.
\ ance explained that the new pro-
cess allows a farmer to apply for his
conservation payment as soon as he
completes requirements for earning
his tub soii-ijuilding allowance. Many
i'-rmers, he said, already have fin-
ished tili.- work.
was more than 3 days going through
the state office certification mill, it
was reported.
SCHOOL DAYS CAUSE
INCREASE IN BUSINESS
School days for Texas' 1,400,000
students—calling for new shoes,
jshirts, frocks and hats—boosted Au-
jgust sales of Texas department and
apparel stores 22.9 per cent above
July, University of Texas economists
'announced recently.
' One hundred stores and shops re-
ported to the University Bureau of
Business Research that their August
business more than doubled the us- i
ual 10 percent seasonal increase from
July to August.
Sales last month were almost 1 p*3r
cent ahead of those in August last
year, and 1939 total sales for Janu-
ary to August were 0.9 per cent
above those of the corresponding
first eight months of 1939.

DIPTHERIA
One preventable disease, diptheria,
has been responsible for 1,279 deaths
in Texas during the past four years,
according to the records of the Tex-
as State Department of Health. The
majority of these deaths were among
children less, than four years old, and
were all preventable had these chil-
dren been properly immunized prior
to contracting the disease.
Prevention of diptheria in children
is a simple matter of innoculation
with toxoid. If your child is six
months old or more, take him to your
family physician and have diptheria
toxoid administered. The technique of
innoculation causes the child no dis-
comfort. In approximately 90 per
cent of children 'receiving toxoid,
there will be established a life-time
immunity to the disease.
To be sure that this immunity has
been established in your child, six
months after the first dose of toxoid,
he should be taken to the physician
to be Schick tested to determine his
positive immunity against diptheria.
The test consists of injecting a few
drops of diptheria toxin between the
layers of the skin. If the child is im-
mune no reaction will be noted. If
l i j.1 j _i ji wtmmmmmmma
not, there will appear some redness
at the site of injection in three or
four days.
Increased education of the general
public on the importance of dipther-
ia innoculation has resulted in de-
creased death rates from diptheria.
Year by year mortality from dipther-
ia is decreasing, as witness the fact
that in Texas 457 children died from
diptheria in 1935; 351 in 1936; 238
in 1937; and 233 in 1938.
You can help the Texas State De-
partment of Health attain a goal of
not one death a year from diptheria,
and protect your loved ones by seeing
that they are immunized at once.
