This is a critical time for
farmers. Gerald Tolleson, local
farmer, stockman and banker
told an Ennis Daily News report-
er in an interview this morning.
Tolleson pointed out that
while it is too late to benefit
small grains a good rain now
would mean the difference be-
tween a wonderful cotton and
maize crop and an “average”
, crop.
Cotton is a dry weather plant
but it is suffering now both in
the lowlands and on the hills
and all the farmers are wanting
rain, ne said, explaining that
while cotton in the bottoms is
“awfully good,” it needs mois-
ture to develop.
Another thing Tolleson point-
ed out w’as that this has been a
very easy, and up to now. a com-
paratively inexpensive crop to
make. The fields are relatively
free of insects and with no mois-
ture to encourage grass and
weeds very little chopping has
been necessary, he explained.
As to other crops, Tolleson
said corn was definitely “short”. |
“A rain three weeks ago
would have made a wonderful j
crop, but we didn’t get it,” he
said.
A rain now would be too late
for any grain except late maize,
he said, adding that small grain
such as oats and barley were a
failure.

Tax Relief
Bill Short Lived
WASHINGTON. D. C. (UP .—
The House Ways and Means
Committee slapped together a
bill today to cut everybody’s in-
come taxes but it didn’t last
very long.
The cuts would have ranged
from 200 to 910 dollars a year
for taxpayers who could afford
to contribute as much as one
thousand dollars a year into a
pension plan for their old age.
But the committee turned
around and killed the bill, 13 to
12. It would have had no chance
for enactment before adjourn-
ment, anyway.
ed up and even if it rained now,
it would be some time before
the grass was good again he
said.
Stockmen are beginning to
ship cattle out of the area and j
hay will be scarce. Dairy herds
are suffering as well as beet j
cattle.
It is reported that cattle ship- j
ments by truck are rather heavy
and the Southern Pacific report-
ed three or four car loads ship- /
ped out of Ennis in June.
^An unusually heavy move-}
ment of cattle for this season of
the year is reported to be mov-
ing over the Southern Pacific
out of Groesbeck. Approximate-
ly 200 car loads went out of
there for California, Arizona,
Colorado and New Mexico in
June.
The larger ponds on farms
and ranches in the Ennis area
are reported to be holding up,
but smaller ponds are dry. Some
farmers are hauling water and
some are turning their stock in
to water from neighbors’ ponds.
For the nation as a whole, the
United States Department of
Agriculture says crops are ex-
pected to be “near average.”
