They are very active, having sent
a box of children's garments, made by

The Sticker does not want to take
sides in the present set up of the
Cotton farmer and the A. A. A.. We
are attempting to show the facts in
the case and you are to do the de-
ciding as to what you want done. Our
columns are and have been open to
any and all questions pertaining to
the welfare of the farmers of our
territory.
Peter Molyneaux, Editor and Pub-
lisher of the "Texas Weekly" is one
of the outstanding leaders of the
South today. He made a thorough
study of the cotton situation, both at
home and abroad. We quote, in part,
a recent editorial in the Texas Week-
ly:
'The enormous increase in con-
sumption of foreign-grown cotton and
decrease in consumption of American
cotton was brought about in the face
of the fact that consumption of Ame-
rican cotton in the United States
was not less in 1930-31 than it was
in 191?-14. It was outside of the Unit-
ed States that the change took place
chiefly. Consumption of foreign-
grown cotton outside of the United
States in 1930-31 was 35.8 per cent
MORE than in 1913-14, whereas con-
sumption of American cotton outside
of the United States in 1930-31 was
28.5 per cent less than in 1913-14.
During the ten years ending with
July 31, 1914, the average annual
exports of American cotton amounted
to 8,574,000 bales. The outlook is that
during the current cotton year ex-
ports of American cotton will not
be much more than 5,500,000 bales,
if, indeed, they reach that total. ..
Coupled with this contrast with re-
spect to consumption there is a cor-
responding contrast with respect to
production. Last season we witness-
ed the most drastic curtailment of
American cotton acreage in history,
and during the coming season the
curtailment will be only a little less
drastic. On the other hand, prac-
tically in all the foreign cotton
growing areas there is feverish ac
tivity to increase acreage and increase
production. In some regions a ver
itable cotton boom is in progress. In
the cotton regions of the United
States hundreds of thousands of
farm families find themselves with
out occupation and are compelled to
live on public charity; gins, com-
presses, and cotton seed oil mills,
stand idle at the height of the sea-
son, operating only part time, with
some of them being dismantled; trains
and trucks carry short loads, and
wharfs at the principal ports are al-
most deserted; cotton shippers are
experiencing tremedous losses, some
of them facing bankruptcy and even
the biggest of them being eaten up,
so to speak, by excess overhaed ex-
pense; and on the trail of all this is
greatly increased unemployment all
along the line, with an outlook so
discouraging as to be almost hope
less.
In striking contrast with this, in
Brazil, for instance, alien workers
are being imported in great numbers
to provide hands to cultivate an ever
expanding acreage; new gins, cotton
seed oil mills, compresses and other
facilities are being constructed in
feverish haste to take care of the
ever increasing production of cotton
highways and docks are being built
and cotton shippers are coming in
from all over the world to compete
in marketing the product; and boom
conditions prevail, with plenty of em-
ployment, and an outlook for great
er expansion and prosperity ahead
Brazil, which produced only 387,000
bales of cotton in 1913-14, and 550,-
000 bales in 1931-32, marketed 1,200,-
000 bales last year, and is expected
to produce between 1,600,000 and 2,-
000,000 bales during the current
year. What its production will be
five or ten years hence no man can
say, but there is every reason to be-
lieve the boom is just getting start-
ed."
We know that the present cot-
ton reduction plan is an emergency
measure that has greatly helped us
during the years it has been in force.
Business in all lines has greatly im-
proved. But the question is what are
we going to do when the govern-
ment takes away their help. Should
the government take away the peg-
ged price of American cotton today,
the price would probably drop to
about 07 cents per pound.
So far the curtailment of the cot
tn industry has not helped materially
in sel'ing our surplus cotton stored
away in warehouses. The price of
American cotton on the foreign mark-
ets is too high in comparison with
the price of cotton grown on foreign
soil. In the meantime, by the cotton
reduction plan, we have created a
shortage of farm labor, compress
labor, gin labor, and all other branches
of the cotton industry are letting em-
ployees off the pay roll. These peo-
ple are having to go on the relief
rolls to live and we are having to
foot the bill in the forms of taxes.
To date, no one is able to tell us
what is going to happen to the cot-
ton industry.
BIRTHDAY PARTY
A very enjoyable time was had at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Hein-
rich Sunday evening. The celebra-
tion was held in honor of Mrs. Hein-
rich's birthday.
The guests were as follows: Mr.
and Mrs. Hugo Foerster, Mr. and
Mrs. Fritz Helmcamp, Mr. and Mrs.
Geo. Helmcamp and family, Mr. and
Mrs. Rud. Miksch and daughter, Mr.
and Mrs. F. Tobala and son, Mr. and
Mrs. Rud. Cordes and family, Mrs.
Fred Foerster and family, Mr. and
Mrs. Reinhold Roeder and family,
Mr. and Mrs. Leo Heinrich and fam-
ily, Mr and Mrs. August Heinrich
and son; Emil Schillhab and Misses
Delores Teltschik, Viola Raeke and
Almeta Dieringer.
A delicious lunch was served about
ten o'clock. At a late hour all depart-
ed for their homes wishing Mr. Hein-
rich many more happy birthdays.

APPOINTMENT HERE
MADE PERMANENT
It has leaked out that Mr. B. B.
Hefner, appointed temporary post-
master at this place several months
ago, has received word that his ap-
pointment has been made permanent.
We don't know why it wasn't made
permanent in the first place. Pos-
sibly "the powers that be" didn't
know friend "Buster" as well as
we Weimar folks, who never doubted
for an instant that he would make
good. Since his induction in office
he has given it every care and atten-
tion, has extended the public every
courtesy possible, and possessing
a good business education he is in a
position to render to the government
and patrons a perfectly satisfactory
administration of his office.
We are glad to congratulate him on
the fact that his appointment has
been made permanent.—Weimar Mer-
cury.
KOERTH FARMER SHOOTS
TWO FOX
The fox is seldom seen by hunters
in this county and still harder to bag.
But John Schofield of the Koerth
section outsmarted two of these sly
animals recently. He discovered the
tracks last Thursday and set out
with his gun and dogs, but it was
not until after a two-hour chase that
he finally bagged Mr. Fox. This was
his second fox, the first one he discov-
ered and shot the week before. There
is a third fox on his farm, Mr. Scho-
field believes, and he hopes to out-
smart the sly Mr. Fox for the third
time.—Hallettsville Tribune.

SILAGE BETTER INSURANCE like corn preserved in a trench silo
FOR FEED SUPPLY THAN
GREEN FEEDS GROWN AS
SOILING CROPS
This last season is showing dairy-
men who have trench silos the special
value that silage has as a feed in
Southern Texas. The dairy cow needs
a continuous feed supply. Droughts
in the summer and a few days of ex-
treme cold weather in the winter
often ruin the best plans for supply-
ing feed to the dairy herd and the
profit for the year is lost. A crop
and carrying the feed from one sea-
son to the next or even from one year
to the next makes a valuable insur-
ance policy against drought or frost
that kill green crops.
This does not mean that the dairy
farmer should not plan on growing
green feed for his herd. It does mean
that to insure a continuous supply of
some stored feed supply that is avail-
able in emergency tends to equalize
the feed available throughout the
season.
When dependent each month on the
growing crop, a crop failure either
forces the dairyman to partially
starve his cows or markedly reduce
his dairy herd.
The real value of the trench silo is
appreciated in times of emergency
feed supply.

brief visitor here one day this past

day attending the Fat Stock Show.
