The Nineteenth Annual Farmer* Short Course ii an event of the
yMt and (Oct down on record a* the lirpit and beat attended event
*t the aort ever held in Texaa. Approximately 6004 men, women, boy*
•ad girl* from t'he rural communities of Texaa left their care* at
bame and came to College Station by train and cars. All •Ren were
represented in thit crowd. There the East Texas cotton farmer rubbed
elbows with the stockman of West Texas, the blacUand farmer and
the Soflth Texas sheep and goat men found themselves side by side.
This event is one of the greatest clearing houses for good ideas
that is available to Texas Agriculture. Men and women every where
ware busy swapping ideas. Learning niew things and new methods.
No matter what your interest, you could find others there interested
in the same things.
Practically every county in Texas was represented at this gather-
ing. They arrived all day Sunday, July 29, and all night Sunday
wlgM- Railroads gave liberal rates and meals were served at the Col-
lege Men Hall at 38 1-8 cent* each. The crowd yas housed in the col-
lege dormitories ahd at a camp ground. ,
Monday morning the programs started. Every phase of agriculture
was represented. These program* consisted of informal lectures, talks
and discussions by nationul authorities of the various lines of agri-
culture. (Questions were welcomed. Farmers and farm women who have
made special success took part on various programs. These lectures
were made practical and were presented in the language of the com-
mon people. No high toned stuff that the average man can not und-
erstand but just plain every day facts.
The men and women were free to attend any part of the program
they wished. A person could go to a lecture on feeding dairy cows,
then attend a talk on some other phase of agriculture if he wished.
All woh have ever attended this Short Course have been well re-
paid and have gone home with many advanced ideas of farming and
liveatock raising. In fact many people come bac.k each year and gain
other new ideas.
The Nineteenth Short Course which is just past can only be spok-
en of in one manner. It was a great big success. The record went
home expressing themselves as well pleased with the things they had
learned at Texas A&M College.

delightful bridge party, complimenting her sister, Miss Wilma Moore,

E. Dodge scored high and received a fancy bottle of exquisite toilet
powder. The same dainty perfumed powder went to Miss Wililams
for low score and also as a favor to the honoree. The hostess, as-
sisted by her daughters, Misses Alice and l>aura, served a delicious
frozen fruit salad, potato flakes, pink and white nut and sweet sand-

FOR EQUITABLE SOLUTION OF
ROAD TAX
"We favor the building and maintenance of State Highways by
charges upon the traffic or use on the same basis that all other forms
of public service are furnished and sustained. To this end we recom-
mend the collection of taxes upon fuels and lubricants used in Motor
Vehicles, equitably adjusted as to tonnage and use, ai the sole reve-
nue for the construction and maintenance of State Highways.
"Under such a policy the State could build and maintain all des-
ignated state highways from an independent State Revenue, and it
would be only just to make the policy retroactive, by providing for
the payment by the State of the interest and maturities on the bonds
issued by counties and defined road districts, to the extent that the
proceeds of such bonds were inveseed in the construction of highways
incorporated into the State system.
"We might well consider at this time the advantage of a perma-
nent highway policy which would give all the Motor Vehicles fees to
the county, and all the gasoline revenues to the State; only impress-
ing the registration fees with the application of such fees, to the re-
tirement of bonds incurred by the counties and defined districts for
thi* construction of parts of the state system of highways, and then
the application of all remaining revenues from such fees to road de-
velopment purposes of the respective counties.
"The foregoing proposals which we deer, fundamental in th< es-
tablishment of a constructive and permanent state highway policy,
may be made i■ ff« ctivi through statutory enactments under present
constitutional provisions, and we would recommend that Legislation
to achieve such improvements in the state's highway activities be se-
cured at the earliest date practicable. In none of the statutory enact-
ments deemed essential to effect the purposes indicated would there
he any disturbance of the present status of the gasoline tax as an
Occupation Tax, with a part of the proceeds going to the available
school fund.
"We would further recommend that in the provision for rapidly
increasing highway requirements it is our judgment that changes in
the Constitution be effected which would give to the state a wider
latitude in the employment of the revenue to the state for highway
purposes, by declaring gasoline and other motor transportation fuels
a constitutional rVvenue, with the authorization to the legislature
to provide for the allotment to highway purposes of a greater part of
such gasoline revenues, and would empower the Legislature to au-
thorize obligations to be incurred within definite limits to meet in-
creasing traffic requirements or emergency construction needs.
"Before attempting to formulate a Legislative program, based upon
the foregoing policy, we recommend that this conference re-assemble
for a meeting with the members of the Highway Commission and its
Fngineering Staff."
Respectfully submitted,
Clarence Ousley, for the East Texas Chamber of Commerce

After the submission of the report, causcuses were held by rep-
resentatives of the three organizations present, and the representa-
tives of the West Texas Chamber of Commerce decided by unani-
mous vote to submit the above resolutions to the Executive Board of
