Weather played one of its peculiar
pranks Sunday us u scheduled bliz-
ard due in the Texas Panhandle for
temperatures us low us 12 to 15 de-
degrees failed.
A low pressure area developed
along with storm winds to skirt the
cold uway and streak it across Kan-
sas and portions of Oklahoma.
Now a new front is building up,
coming out of the Rockies and is due
to hit into Texas sometime Tuesday.
In the meantime look for warmer
weather and worst of all dry weath-
er.
t ameron streets und sidewalks
were red with dust from the pluins
Monday morning as one of the sea-
son’s worst dust storms subsided.
Mr. and Mrs. J. \V. !Ingood and

Declaring their policy to be to
“produce everything possible to meet
the needs of our own people and of a
hungry world,” the Texas Farm Bu-
reau Federation at the recent con-
vention in San Antonio, also called
upon other groups in the nation to
match the farmer, “that we may
combat the evils of inflation.”
Members of the Milam County
Farm Bureau, headed by S. W. Mc-
Claren, President, saw five of the
local chapter’s recommendations in-
corporated in a resolution passed at
the state convention. They are: Stor-
age for commodities that have sup-
port prices so that producers may
secure loans; increased soil conserva-
tion payments; a price support pro-
gram for pecans; support prices to
continue on grain sorghums to com-
pare with corn and that these loans
may be made available by Juno 1
through March 1 of the following
year.
The Milam County Farm Bureau,
knowing how had are rural roads
in Milam county felt urged to recom-
mend a Rural Road Program for
Texas and saw their own resolution
adopted. This resolution calling for
a rural road program is far reach-
ing and recommends a number of
innovations. They recommend that
the program be financed from taxes
or; natural resources. They ask that
funds be administered through (he
office of the Comptroller a? provided
by law, that the construction and
types of roads be determined by the
county courts with priorities given
to school bus routes, mail routes and
population per mile.
The mass of resolutions set out
the Farm Bureau Poliiy on nl’ im-
portant questions and isues. They hit
back at unequal freight rates; ashed
the legislature to enact a law mak-
ing everyone who dri/e? a ear or
truck financially liable in case of
accidents; and uniform interstate
trucking regulations.
The Bureau at length made re-
commendations on handling of live-
stock and research to prevent diseases
pointing out that protection should j
be had against recurrence of wheat |
poisoning that resulted in great loss
of animals. Other diseases requir-
ing more research where recommend-
ed. The Bureau favors a support
price on mohair.
The Bureau members covered every
phase of agriculture. They want new
varieties of cotton developed. They
want government loans on cotton to
be available by July 1. They want
cotton classing decentralized. They
ask that the Pink Bollworm control
act be amended ard rewrjteen in the
light of present day knowledge. The
recommend authority for farmers to
vote on weed control in county units.
The Bureau members are alarmed
over water resources and call for
Immediate surveys and measures to
conserve. They want better relations
on labor supply with Mexico and
commended the Good Neighbor Policy
They went on record against the Fair
I rades Act. They called on govern-
ment as well as private utilities to
expand their services to include all
the rural areas. They want Farm and
Home Administration strengthened
and call for direct loans.
The Farm Bureau wants health
laws revised to include on the State
Board of Health four representatives
of consumer groups. They call for
more County Health Units and that
the school lunch program be improv-
ed as an aid to rural health.
The Bureau members call for edu-
cational and information efforts to
correct false radio and newspaper
publicity that misrepresents the farm
program and organized farmers.
The Bureau at its San Antonio Con-
vention went to some length to re-
commend a uniform co-operative I
agreement.
1 he Milam County Farm Bureau j
has set a goal for 1000 members by
• he end of 1048 in this county.
