EAST TEXAS FARMERS
CONTINUE IMPROVED
COTTON PROGRAM
THE TYLER JOURNAL
Lufkin Girl Named Beat
Collegiate Artist in U. S.
Farmers, ginners, businessmen,
bankers, and other interested parties
in East Texas are following up the
cotton improvement program, and
county agricultural agents in that
scetion expect cotton producers to
collect a considerable premium for
their cotton this fall.
In Harrison county, where 12,690
bushels of registered cottonseed has
been distributed to growers, a series
of meetings has been scheduled dur-
ing June at which gin days for the
one variety of cotfon will be estab-
lished. It is expected that between
20,000 and 25,000 acres will be plavt-
ed to one variety of cotton in this
county.
A premium of $67.20 on the cotton
from 12 acres was realized by Jim
Hedding of the Tundra community in
Van Zandt county last fall through
the planting of cotton of a desirable
staple. On the day he sold his cot-
ton, 12.42 cents was the top price,
but the buyer paid $13.50 cents a
pound for the Heddin cotton. In ad-
dition, he sold 90 bushels of seed at
a good price.
Two Red River county communi-
ties have gone the one-variety route.
In Rugby community, 40 farmers
have planted 2,912 acres to one va-
riety .while in the F’ulbright section,
20 farmers have planted 1,228 acres
of the same variety.
In Anderson county, 10 communi-
ties are making a detailed study of
the one variety cotton program. The
1937 results will be used as the ba-
sis for 1938 pldntings.

“The most outstanding artist j
in every respect of any woman
submitting work out of the en-
tire United States — that was
the tribute paid to the work of
Miss ftlargaret Neal of Texas
State College for Women by the
judges who awarded her a four-
year scholarship to the Art Cen-j
ter School in Los Angeles, Calif.;
She won the award as the result
of a contest open to college and
high schools in all states, only
one other entrant, a man, being
equal to her in versatility, bril-i
liance and craftmanship. The
nineteen-year-old graduate was
art editor of the college annual
this year. She is the daughter of<
Mr. and Mrs. Willie Neal of
Lufkin.

TEXAS FARMERS CO-OPE-
RATE IN GOVT. PROGRAM
Dallas News)
Rich deposits of the relatively rare
fluor spar, a minei-al which is all but
indispensable to porcelain, glass and
steel manufacturers, have been found
in the Big Bend country, according
to the Texas Planning Board’s min-
eral resources committee which pre-
dicts that the Big Ben section ulti-
mately will prove a source of wealth
equal to that which the East Texas
oil field has yielded. Gold, silver,
lead, zinc and copper are being mined
in the Big Bend now.

FARM CO-OPERATOR
Gatesville Messenger: Of all the
forty-eight states, Texas farmers
lead in cooperating with the Feder-
al Government in its agricultural con-
servation program, according to
ports from Washington. Out of ev- Can paper be successfully made in
ery twenty acres of Texas farm land Texas from rice straw is one of the
one acre i, planted to soil buildms by th'
or soil conserving crops or treated j ___
with erosion controlling practices. In
1929 only 203,000 acres of Texas
farm land were getting any kind of
effective treatment, while in 1936,
6,600,000 Texas acres were planted
las recommended under the AAA pro-
gram. That was a gain of 3,150 per
cent over 1929. The average increase
for other Southern States which in-
cludes Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louis-
iana, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mis-
sissippi and South Carolina, was a
little more than 655 per cent. Texas
farmers have evidenty seen some-
thing to their advantage in the AAA
program.
Farmers organizations of various
names have sought to organize the
co-operative spirit for a hundred
years, without much success. It re-
mained for Secretary Wallace, act-
ing under the new deal administra-
tion, to procure a wide measure of
co-operation larded with a splash of
enthusiasm. Mr. Wallace did it by
paying the farmers to co-operate,
paying them with checks drawn
against Mr. Morgenthau’s treasury
and disbursed through the county
farm agents. The farmers are be-
ing paid to follow the rules or reg-
ulations devised by the Agriculture
Department at Washington. We are
not intimately informed as to how
closely or sincerely the regulations
are followed, but we are aware of
the very consirerable sums drawn by
the “signed-up” farmers. Nothing
has so inspirited American agricuL
ture as this Federal bonus has done.
It would be easy to quarrel with the
principle of the thing and the cost of
same. But we shall not quarrel with
it. It is a sort of recognition of ag-
riculture as our Nation’s foundation-
al activity. Farming is still the big-
gest single business, yet nothing
practical was done for it heretifore.
If the new deal administration had
given more to agriculture and less to
other demanders there would be no
Treasury deficit and yet there would
be Nation-wide prosperity. When the
farms are earning appreciable prof-
its everything else experiences art
upsurge of prosperity.

New* Letter for the Week
Austin, June 8.—The season of the
year when the moBt complaints are
received on decount of diarrhea and
dysentery of “summer complaint” is
here and the Texas State Department
of Health has issued a warning to
parents in regard to this, and offers
the following suggestions to prevent
its occurence among babies. The
chief causes of diarrhea include im-
pure milk, water and contaminated
foods, overeating, fever from any
cause, too much sugar or cream in
the diet, overfeeding and underfeed-
ing.
Mother’s milk is the safest food.
However, if other milk must be used,
the supply should be clean and pure.
The water should be clean, pure and
boiled. Any other articles of food
should be fresh and clean and no un-
suitable articles of food such as cake
and candy should be given.
If a feeding formula is used, it
should be one prescribed by a phy-
sician and it must be prepared with
extreme attention to cleanliness and
kept cold until used. The baby
should be fed at xegular intervals and
should not be forced to eat when he
is not hungry. The baby should be
kept cool and comfortable in hot
weather, shoulud not be overclothed
and should be given plenty of clean,
clear water to drink. Any infections
which develop in the nose, throat,
ears or other organs should receive
prompt attention from a physician.
If diarrhea develops, feedings
should be stopped or greatly dimiish-
ed and an abundance of water should
be given. Cathartics should not be
given except on the advice of a phy-
sician. If the diarrhea does not im-
prove within a shoi-t time, a physsi-
cian should be called and a complete
examination should be made.
Three F’s, flies, fingers and food
are the three sources of danger to the
baby. Flies carry disease germs to
the baby and to its food. Fingers and
hands that are not thoroughly wash-
ed before preparing the baby’s food
are likely to be germ carriers also.
All milk and water that is intended
for the baby should be boiled for five
minutes, then carefully covered and
kept in a cool place until used.

SHORTAGE OF LAYING
HENS PROSPECT FOR
THE FALL AND WINTER
College Station, June 7—A heavy
shortage in laying hens, with a cor-
responding increase in egg and poul-
try prices, is in prospect for the fall
of 1937 and the early part of 1988,
according to George P. McCarthy, as-
sistant poultry husbandman of the
Texas A. & M. Extension Service.
McCarthy said that high feed costs
and low prices for poultry products
had resulted in the heaviest culling
program in recent years. The unfa-
vorable price picture has also result-
ed in a decline in the purchase of ba-
by chicks. McCarthy pointed out
that commercial hatcheries have re-
ported a 35 per cent decline in the
sale of baby chicks.
With better egg prices in prospect,
McCarthy urged that poultrymen
give their pullets every chance to
come into early production and to
maintain production. "Poultrymen
who feed their pullets properly dur-
ing the summer and give them every
opportunity to develop will be well
repaid during the fall and winter,”
he said.
Not much chance exists of any un-
forseen increase in the number of
laynig hens before well into 1938, ac-
cording to McCarthy. June and July
chicks have never proved profitable,
and commercial hatcheries have sus-
pended operations for the summer. :
