By GOVERNOR JAMES V. ALLRED

been regarded a. the watch dog for
ft* hi '* -L. - J^V'. ,
My fight to secure the return of
the State’s lands has developed rap-
idly the past week.
When I requested the Attorney
eral to file a number of suits to
these lands for the state,
e told the newspapers that I was
ildish. From Paul’s letters tp the
orlnthlans, he quoted:
“When I was a child, I spake as
a child; I-undersood as a child; I
thought as child. But when I be-
came a man I, put away childish
fhings.”
I can readily understand why the
Attorney General, who calls him-
self the “Great McCraw,” would
have to resort to the Scriptures to
,l(lrove that he has grown up.
jk Immediately after I demanded
vthat these suits be filed, however,
tile Land Commissioner cancelled
tie big lease I had been complain-
ing about—the one where he turnecj
down. 1103,000.in cash and accepted
•fig;
This is the second time I have
mate him back up and cancel out.
ft appears, therefore, that my
'‘Childishness” has already resulted
in the cancellation of two valuable
lehses wheiCh he had executed.
You will remember that the At-
torney General also said that he
would not file all the suits that I
had requested, but would file only
•■‘one test suit. He said that the
state’s rights would not be Jeo-
pardized; but when I pointed out
that if these people were allowed
to let the matter rock along until
a test suit could be drawn out
through the courts they would then
have their gamble and know wheth-
er the well being drilled was a pro-
ducer or dry; and when I pointed
out that these people could even
assign these leases to others who
could claim to be innocent pur-
chasers the Attorney General
changed his mind and filed nine
additional suits
So my “childishness has resulted
in further 'action.
The trouble new 1- that the At
toreny Get eral t-ruy set up one
ground 'in asking for cancellation
of these'leases. He did not allege
in his petr ous that the facts Con-
stituted logai fraud,, as I had re-
quested bun to do Nowhere did
ho allege the facts and circumstan-
ces which J.e6t out in my letters.
I think these facts and circumstan-
ces taken as a whole clearly show
a fraud upon tlie rights of the peo-
ple. I am sorry thai the Attorney
General. Is not going to give the
court the opportunity to pass on
these I would rather have
three legs! to itarid on in a lawsuit
than Just one, especially where
millUms of dollars belonging to the
school children are involved.
To save my life, 1 can’t under-
stand why the Attorney General
hasn't teen Just as anxious to in-
vestigate ‘and go after these mat
ters as 1 have been. Heretofore
the peppier One after another, for-
mer Attorneys Geneial have step-
ped out with lawsuits to protect
the rights of the people. The most
recent. instance was when former
Attorney General Dan Moody broke
up the highway contracts and was
immediately elected Governor.
The “Great McCraw,’’ as he calls
himself has had a similar op-
portunity and failed to take bold
of it, even after I furnished him
with all the facts and made an
official request of him. I hope he
v ill yet amend his pleadings and go
after these suits seriously and in
a fighting mood.
Mrs. Allred and I tremendously
enioved our visit to Washington.
Of course, we were honored beyond
expression by being priviledged tb
attend'Vice President' Garner’s din-
ner to the President; .Jyit, to our
joyous surprise, the President and
Mrs. Roosevelt invited us to have
lunch ifj the White House last Sun-
day. It was Just a^ffne family
party, one which made V8 feel
perfectly at home. The President
is in th^ best of good spirits, still
thinking and working for the peo-
ple.

Mr. and Mrs. H. Y. Neu of this

Dr. J. J. Delaney, president of Sch-

ing that their son, Charles Neu, a
student at Schreiner, has been elec-
ted a member of the Phi Theta
Kappa, the Junior College National-
Scholarship Society. Membership
In tlie society named is counted
the highest honor that can come
to a student during his college days,
according to the president’s letter.
Mention was made of Charles as
having made the honor roll, and the
honorahle mention roll, and of his
general splendid college work. A
very limited number at Schreiner
make the honor roll, Delaney said,
on account of the very high stan-
-dards'set.
Besides' his literary work, Char-
les is cornetist in the Sc-hriener
ba,nd, and is one of the two college

One of the things John Deere owners like about
their General Purpose Tractors is the straight-line
draft that makes plowing better and steering
easier. With the rear Vheel in the 56-inch set-
ting, there is a centered hitch on both plow and
tsactor. Because of their two-cylinder design,
John Deere Tractors burn low-cost fuels most
" successfully—throughout the long life of the
t tractor. Remarkably easy to operate. Full vision,

New Farm Bill
Provide# Cotton
Marketing Quota
The establishment of cotton mar-
keting quotas, based on farm
acreage allotments, is authorized
for all cotton producing farms un-
der provision of the Agricultural
Adjustment Act of 1938, the new
measure passed by Congress to
strengthen the Agricultural Conser-
vatfon Program and provide more
'effective 'control of burdensome
crop surpiusses. according to George
Slaughter, Chairman of Texas Ag-
ricultural Conservation Committee.
The Adjustment Act provides for
a national cotton allotment of ap
proximately 10.750,000 bales in 1938,
The tentative "cotton allotment for
Texas ill 1938 will be about 9,800.-
/000 acres. The number • of acres
needed, at normal 'yields, to pro-
duce the lialeage allotment will-be
aportioned to the cotton producing
states and counties, with no county
to. receive less than 60 per cent
of the cotton acreage planted and
diverted in that coiil^ty in 1937.
The county allotment will be divided
among individual farms, with spe-
cial consideration for small produ-
cers.
This division will give all farms
a minimum allotment* up to five
acres of cotton and a*small allot-
ment will'be available for produ-
cers receiving between 5 and la
acres. The remainder of the county
allotment will be divided in such
manner as to give each farm in'
the county or administrative area
a uniform percentage of the crop-

' Austin, Texas, Feb. 21—Dr.-Geo.
W. Cox, State Health Officer, states
that slightly more than eleven
Texans die each day frbm tuber-
culosis. In other words, over four
thousand persons died of this dis-
ease last year. *
In these days of economy, when
the seeds bt disease are being

children, the prevention of

no medicine, yet- discovered, will
cure this disease. The treatment
consists of rest, proper food, fresh
air and proper medical supervision.
The greatest loss of life from
this disease is between
of 2(i to 40 years, and its economic
cost to families and the State is
ernormous. Tuberculosis cau-be af*
rested if.found in its early stages,
therefore, the State Department of
Health urges that every one not
feeling up to par should go to their
family physician for a complete

any of the past three years. ■ a specific cure has been the goal
The 1938 marketing quota of an of doctors for many years. However,
individual farm will be the larger,
oi-Tfie actual or'normal amount of I
cotton produced on that farm's ac-
reage allotment, plus -any cotton
carried over by the farm from the
1937 crop. In other words, the far-'
nier may sell, without restriction
all the cotton he can produce on
his allotted acreage. On all cotton
sold from the farm in excess of its
marketing quota a penalty of 2
cents a pound must be paid. This
means that if the farmer overplants,
the cotton sold in excess of the
actual or normal production of the
allotted acres will be subject to
the 2-cent penalty. The penalty
does not apply to cotton' on farms
where the total production is less
than-Ahe 1,000 lint pounds.
Furthermore, if a farmer over-
plants he will lose his 1938 Agri-
cultural Conservation Program pay-
ment and the Cotton Price Adjust-
ment payment to which he might
be entitled on his 1937 cotton, and
will be eligible for a cotton loan^i
