Cotton Classing
Deadline dates for filing applica-
tion for Smith-Doxey aer vice are
Aujyst X, east of the 100th meridian
and August 15, for counties entirely
or for the most part west of the
200th meridian, according to F. E.
Litchte, cotton gin specialist, Texas
A. * M. College Extension Servicc.
While these are the deadline dates,
Ike USDA Production Marketing
Administration, which provides the
fctmce, has set up goal dates-of July
J, and July 15. Applications cannot
filed until cotton is planted, but
should be sent in as soon as acreage
for * given cotton group can be de-
Vkmined.
The Smith-Doxey Act, now in its
ninth year of ojleration, provides
free classing service so that farmers
■Will know the actual grade and sta-
ple of their cotton as a guide to
selling it. Samples from each bale
of cotton raised by members of or-
ganized groups are sent to central
points t)y cooperating ginners for
classing by government employees.
A market news service gives the
market price for various grades
and staples.
In 1945 a total of 1422 gins, or 62
per cent of those in the state, sign-
ed up for the program as a service
to their customers, and 43 percent
of the cotton grown in Texas was
classed under the Smith-Doxey Act.
Almost five million acres of cotton
produced by 96,626 farmers, were
covered by the 1945 applications.
Instructions and application blanks
may be obtained from county agri-
cultural agents or from PMA branch
cotton offices at Abilene, Austin,
Dallas, El Paso, Galveston and Lub
bock, Litchte said.
Dairymen Unite To
Extend Their Market
For the second year Texas dairy-
men will join those of 36 other states
united action to secure and ex-
tend markets for all dairy foods, by
making contribution to what might
1* termed an insurance policy for
entire dairy industry, by supfcort-
the program of the American
D*u-y Association.
The American Dairy Association,
Wftsnized in 1940 as a non-profit
cwfroration, has for its purpose the'
Mtf&tenance and increasing of con-
s' demands for all milk pro-
for the benefit of milk pre-
processors and distributors
alike. The program embodies adver-
tising campaigns in magazines, news-
papers, billboards and radio—stress-
ing the health-giving properties of
all dairy products. Research work is
conducted in a dozen leading colleges
and universities from coast to coast
to develop new facts about milk and
its products. These studies range
from the nutritive content of milk to
pasturage value of various soils, to
the best way of packaging cheese.
The ADA is supported by volunta-
ry deductions made at the plant
from farmers' milk and cream
checks, at the rate of lc per pound
of butterfat marketed during a stip-
ulated period—in Texas, the first 15
days of June. This deduction amounts
to approximately 10c per cow.
Speaking of the program, Mr. D. T.
Simons, Treasurer of the Texas Di-
vision of American Dairy Associa-
tion, says: "America's dairy farmers
—five million strong—are united in
the ADA movement as the best way
to keep on providing the nation the
food it needs. Through the joint ef-
fort of dairy farmers in Texas, and
36 other states, producing 90 per
cent of America's milk, it will be
possible for Americans to get the
amounts of these foods that they
really want—-and really need. Most
certainly Texas dairymen's contribu-
tion of one dime per cow is negligible
indeed if this can be accomplished."

100 YEARS AGO AND THIS WEEK
By A. Garland Adair, Curator of
History, Texas Memorial Museum.
•"Dr. William C. Ridgeway informs
citizens of Austin county that he
has located himself near Industry."
This announcement was carried in
the Houston Morning1 Star a century
ago this week. Pioneer physicians
were few and far between, in great
demand and therefore popular. In
fact they were so popular that the
temptation to enter politics was
faced by most of them. Dr. Burnet
was the first president-adinterim,
and Dr. Jones was the last president
of the Republic of Texas.
The reason that Austin did not
have a newspaper in 1845 is under
stood when one refers to the follow-
ing sketch regarding the Capital.
The Congress of the Lone Star Re-
public of Texas in January 1838, ap
pointed Albert C. Horton, Lewis P.
Cook, Isaac W. Burton, William
Menifee and J. Cambell to select a
capital site for the young nation.
Austin was their choice. The govern-
ment moved here in October, 183U
Here it remained until 1842, at which
time Sam Houston ordered the re-
moval of the national records to
IHouston. The government remained
at Houston until November, 1842
when by executive proclamation Con-
gress met at Washington. The capi-
tal remained at Washington until it
was again established at Austin on
July 4th, 1845. In 1850 an election
was held, to select the site for the
capital during the next twenty-two
years. Austin was the choice of the
electorate. The subject came up again
in November, 1872. Austin won by a
majority of 15,355 votes over both
Waco and Houston. This finally set-
tled the question of a seat of govern-
ment for Texas, the 28t.. state, and
where it will remain while the state
remains undivided. Austin has been
the capital of Texas for 104 years
and continuously throughout the
past 100 years. It was due to these
facts that the Forty-Seventh and
Forty-Ninth legislatures authorized
that Austin should be the scene next
February of the central historical
observance of the Centennial of
Statehood.
The centennial is statewide, and
many points are busy with their own
plans. Fredr«cksburg has ]its own
Centennial in 1946 and will co-ordi-
nate its program with that of the
enltijre state. San Antonio, New
Braunfels, Dallas, Waco, and Hous-
ton and other cities are getting busy.
The Radio House of the University
of Texas will present its first broad-
cast featuring the Centennial on Oct.
3rd, which will be followed by other
radio programs under the direction
of Mrs. Elithe Hamilton Beal.
The first program in observance of
the historical phase of the centenary
was held fifteen miles east of Cleve-
land on Sept. 22nd. Aaron Cherry
located in that part of Texas in 1813.
He was a first settler, born Sept.
22, 1745, and lived to be 110 years
old. A marker was provided for his
grave-site by the Federal govern-
ment and this marker was placed on
the ground above his ashes 199
years after he came into the world.
Another program will be held on the
site Sept. 22, 1946, which will be the
200th anniversary of the birth oi
this early Texan, xlomer Cherry, a
lineal descendant, who has worked
diligently for many years on the
Cherry tree, presided at the cere-
monial, where attention was called
to the Centennial of Statehood's his-
torical and rural improvement state-
wide program.
