RESETTLEMENT .
iELEBRATES ITS
1 SECOND BIRTHDAY
This week marks the end of
the second year of the Reset-
tlomenfAdministration which
in Bell County has made 400
loans to farmers for a total of
111814.
feClias. E. Carr county super-
ior announced that during
$m& two-year period' the Reset-
eilt Administration has also
e 748 non-repayat)ie grants

in addition to the loans.

ttlement Administration
set up two years ago its
job was to take over farm
lies formerly on relief and
alee these families again
self-supporting. Detailed plans of
tnrm and mome management
e wdrked out with each fam-
ily and backed by loans for the
ecessary supplies livestock and
uipment.
"More than 18 per- cent of
exns farmers htivfl income";

than nothing. A typical member

eonts a month for (slothing and
only five cents a month for
medical care." He pointed out
that these families can develop
in the aggregate an enormous
purchasing power if properly
financed and supervised.
"Many fanners included in the
Resettlement program last year
had never before known what it
was to grow a garden or to own
a cow or chickens" the super-
visor said. "Most of them had
no team or tools. Retirement
plans worked out last year en-
cabled such families in Texas to
buy 26599 horses and mules and
7932 milk cows. These families
planted 19762 gardens and put
up more than five million pounds
of dried meat and vegetables as
well as more than three and a
half million cans. A total of 57-
540 loans to such families were
made in Texas during the past
two- years by the Resetlement
Administration for $11878654.
The number of non-repayable
grants was 105900 for $1547-
082. The Debt Adjustment Section
of Resettlement in Texas work-
ing through volunteer commit-
tees in each county has not only
assisted in saving 916131 acres
of land from foreclosure on 3529

farms but has also brought
about refinancing through which
$253409 in delinquent taxes "has
been paid to tato and county
treasuries.
To help put land into the
hands of low-Income farmers
and a small group of the more
successful type of tenants Re-
setlement has accepted options
on 34090 acres of land in Texas
and has paid for 22625 acres of
thr. The land was bought at a
price which will return six per
cent above taxes and insurance
with crops and prices equal to
those of the last three years.
Construction of buildings is now
in progress on 125 of these
farms and 145 families arfl now
Working them living in' tempor-
ary quarters. Most of them later
will be given opportunity of buy-
ing with forty years time to pay
and interest at the rate of three
per cent.
In an area of worn-out and
eroded land in Fanin County
options have been accepted on
12623 acres of land and pay-
ment has been made for 5335
acres. More than 500 men unable
to make a living any longer by
farming this land are employed
converting it into demonstration
projects the improvements in
cluding lakes "which will impound
1168 acres of water.
Cooperative loans involving
$126358 have been made by Re-
settlement to 163 groups of Tex-
as farmers to buy equipment
too large or expensive for small
individual farmers or to pur
chase pure-bred sires or set up
other community projects which
could not be financed through
any other public or private
agency.
FLOOD PROBLEM

Ft. Worth May 6 -In co-
ordinating upstream land treat-
ment work with flood defenses
at downstream danger points
the United States has now
launched the most complete at-
tack on the flood problem ever
undertaken in this country ac
cording to a statement received
at Region 4 headquarters here
today from H. H. Bennett Chief
of the Soil Conservation Service
of the Department of Agricul
ture.
The Omnibus Flood Control
Act of 1936 he pointed out. jrives
full legislative recognition to the
necessity for including in flood
control plans the prevention of
floods at their point of origin in
upstream watersheds. Under
provisions of this Act he said
the Department of Agriculture
is preparing to survey land-use
conditions in more than 200
watersheds as a basis for dev-
eloping upstream flood control
programs to be recommended to
Congress. Actual prosecution of
such programs as a supplement
to downstream engineering work
is contingent on Congressional
action Bennett explained.
The inclusion of land treat
ment work in flood control plan-
ning in no wise minimizes the
importance of downstream for-
tifications in the form of levees
dams and other structures Ben-
nett said adding that "the value
of such structures was demon-
strated beyond question at Cairo
Illinois and other points along
the Ohio and the Mississippi
this spring."
Denying that floods are due
to extraordinary conditions of
climate over which man has no
control he pointed out that our
present civilization has created
a whole new series of conditions
which make for more frequent
and more violent floods.
Two hundred million new "wet
weather" tributaries gullies
have been added to the topo-
graphy of this country the ac-
tion of soil erosion Mr. Bennett
stated and the cultivation of
sloping fields with rows run-
ning directly up and down the

Dear Friends:
In spite of the fact that pos
sible means of effecting econo
mies in government expendi-
tures or at least means of giv-
ing the appearance of effecting
economies continued to hold the
spot-light during the past week
the House passed two large ap-
propriation bills ; the first being
the Second Deficiency Bill which
carried an appropriation of
eighty-three million dollars. This
was a saving of approximately
seventeen million dollars from
the budget estimate and I think
was a good example of what can
be done in the way of cutting ap-
propriations if Congress will ac-
tually cut. We did not do Bo well
however yesterday in the pas-
sage of the War Department ap-
propriation bill which carried
four hundred and sixteen million
dollars. This was only three hun-
dred and fifty eight thousand
dollars below the budget esti-
mate or practically no cut at all.
It is true that the bill contained
some very necessary appropria-
tions for the National Guard and
for the Reserve Force which
made reduction difficult but it
also provided for an increase in
the personnel of the standing
Army of as much as nine thous-
and men and it seems to me that
a saving should have been mad'-
here. There is no doubt in r
mind but what this governr
should maintain a firs'"
Navy air force and coast-
but I think that our
Army should be merr'
ton organization a'
to build a great cif
case we are attacked". T&ftnmam
sary of course to makt? irawSs-
ions to arm and equip suck a. vnr
time force and to officer tutm&
from the men trained in the BJa-
tional Guard and the Reserve
Force. It does not however hbom
to me advisable to increase Jfee?
number of enlisted men in lUst
standing Army and I think ifeat
this is one place where CongrcsK
did not effect the economy tXmt
it should have.
I am still quite hopefuT aDssftr
