FARMERS BF TEXJtSi
Waco, Nov. 21.—That
federal farm board has
farther plans for Texas farm-
ers was indicated in an address
here yesterday by Representa-
tive Ijawrence Westbrook. Ad-
dressing an audience of farm-
ers who met here at the invita-
tion of the chamber of com-
merce, Westbrook said the
governor had expressed the
hrpe that “fanners will not
obligate themselves with any
other organisation until tbe
farm board announces its
plans.”
He said the board planned
to come to Texas in December
or January to set up co-opera-
tives expected to "appeal to
farmers in a more popular
way” than organizations now
in existence.
The federal farm board pre-
viously designated the Texas
Farm Bureau Cotton Associa-
tion to receive a $2,000,000
loan for Texas cotton farmers,
and arrangements were made
to include in the benefits all
non-members of the associa-
tion.
Westbrook said he had
knowledge the board expected
to set up “a number of co-op-
eratives” in Texas, holding the
state too large for on eorgan-
ization to handle. He also call-
ed attention to the fact that
only 2 per cent of Texas
farmers "are now members of
co-operatives.”

the best solution to tbe matter
would be to boost the price of
