RAISING LIVING AT HOME
Dallas News: Cotton again has
fallen upon evil days as the price of
middling seven eights remains below
8c a pound or nearly a full cent under
last season. Expectations that the
Sept. 8 Federal crop estimate would
be sufficiently bullish to bolster the
price came to naught when the reduc-
tion amounted only to 163,000 bales,
whereas some experienced traders
had guessed a 500,000-bale drop. In
the case of the Texas crop there is a
reduction of 225,000 bales which can
only further curtail cotton income.
With a carry-over of more than 13,-
000,000 bales of American cotton lit-
tle is to be expected of price ad-
vances short of a European conflagra-
tion, and one may not be sure that
even such a contingency would be
proof against substitute synthetic
fibers in huge quantities that might
replace cotton.
The Texas cotton picture is not
bright. Well intentioned efforts of
the Federal Government crop control
adjustment program in its various
phases have failed to achieve what
farmers ardently hoped for. The long
promised parity price of 16c a pound
seems farther away than at any time
during the five years since crop con-
trol began. Perhaps cotton farmers
some day' will come to the simple real-
ization that an essential part of their
adjustment program must be the
basic fact of raising a living on the
farm and feed for their animals and
in every way to practice economies
that any well balanced farming sys-
tem makes possible.
Cost of raising cotton must be re-
duced, as everyone knows who thinks
the problem through. One certain
way to reduce cost of growing a bale
of cotton is to make the farm self-
sustaining as to food and feed. Such
a program would make cotton a clean,
cash surplus crop over and above the
living. That goal should not be lost
sight of. In fact, the living on the
farm could easily become the nucleus
of a reconsidered agricultural adjust-
ment program to which Federal plan-
ners are now devoting considerable
attention.
HUMBLE CO. WILL SPONSOR
RADIO FOOTBALL BROADCASTS
The Humble Oil & Refining Com-
pany today announced that it will
bring Texas football fans radio ac-
counts of Southwest Conference
games again this season, for the
fourth consecutive year.
An ambitious program of broad-
casting has been tentatively formu-
lated by the Company. Beginning
with the first games on September
24th, the Company will broadcast all
Conference games and many of the
outstanding intersectional contests to
be played by Conference teams. On
several Saturdays, as many as four
games are on the tentative schedule
of broadcasts, and on two Saturdays,
five broadcasts are scheduled.
Games to be broadcast and the
stations over which they may be
heard will be announced from week
to week during the football season.
The Humble Company again em-
phasized that its purpose in sponsor-
ing the broadcasts is to render an ad-
ded service to the Company’s friends
and employees and to stimulate an in-
creased interest in Southwest Confer-
ence football. It is hoped that the
broadcasts will result in increased at-
tendance at football games through-
out the State.
Kern Tipps and Cy Leland will
again head the list of play-by-play
announcers. Other announcers are
now being selected, and the complete
list will be ready for release within
a short time.
In connection with the broadcasts,
the Humble Company will also again
publish the Humble Football News.
This attractive, lively football week-
ly has proved to be extremely pop-
ular among Texas followers of the
game. In addition to covering the
Southwest Conference, the Humble
Football News also covers high school
and college football in Texas. Plans
for this season include one or more
feature stories every week. The Hum-
ble Football News will be distributed
free by Humble Service Stations and
Humble dealers each Thursday dur-
ing the football season. The first issue
will be in their hands on Thursday,
September 22.

A MACHINE SHOP IN YOUR
HOME TOWN
Must surely be a great convenience, v
Just think of the numbers of people
who come forty, fifty, and sixty miles
to have their machine shop require-
ments taken care of. This is almost an
every day occurrence. People come
even a greater distance for machine
shop service that costs them a great
deal less than the expense of coming.
Our shop is heaping full of modern
equipment, together with skilled
workmen enables us to turn out strict-
ly first class work.
While you are attending the Fair
drop in and see how well we are equip-
ped. We will be glad to show you

Anything you bring in our line,
large or small, will be appreciated.
