TWENTY-EIGHTH YEAR
KINGSVILLE. TEXAS. WEDNESDAY. OCT. I, 1933
October is here and the opening
date of the South Texas Live Stock
and Agricultural Show is less than
a month away. When we think of
the show we think of the A. & I
Short Course which is one of the
greatest constructive forces work-
ing for the farm industry in South
Texas. The holding of the Show
and Short Course here on the same
dates each year is bringing hun-
dreds of South Texas farmers to
Kingsville to participate in the
benefits of the two events.
—BB—
Though few of the residents of
Kingsville are directly concerned
with the welfare and prosperity of
agriculture, all of them are indirect-
ly affected. For this reason, and
for the added reason that we are
permitted to be the host city to the
men who till the soil and tend the
flocks and herds, and those whose
life task is to lead agriculture to
a more profitable and staple place
through better scientific and econ-
omic practices, our interest in the
Show and Short Course should be
deep and abiding.
—bb—
Our citizens have subscribed gen-
erously to the funds for the suc-
cess of the show. In view of the
present economic conditions, they
are to be praised for their loyalty
to the two farm Institutions center-
ed in Kingsville hut serving all
South Texas. But financial support
is not enough. We must show every
farmer and every visiting short
course faculty member that Kings-
ville appreciates the honor of be-
ing the center of agricultural prog-
ress in South Texas.
—BB—
A rousing greeting to all comers
cannot be expressed more emphat-
ically than, through a well organiz-
ed parade. The music and color of
such a reception serves to keep the
host city in the minds of visitors
long after the occasion is past. The
suggestion, made by President
Seale, that Kingsville stage a par-
ade on the opening day of the short
course was a timely one. It’s hard
to “pep up” a performance that
starts off without a show of en-
thusiasm. It’s easy to keep inter-
est alive when once it’s aroused.
—BB—
So let's get behind Sam Fimhle,
chairman of t.he parade committee,
and have every organization and
every business firm represented in
the parade that is to be a form of
welcome to the visitors who come
to Kingsville for the opening day
of the show and short course.
—BB—
The cry of thousands for "action"
has found a ready response from
President Roosevelt. Every day one
sees a statement of new policies,
fostered perhaps by some group,
adopted by the president as part
of the New Deal.
—BB—
For several months every an-
nouncement was heralded with ac-
claim by everyone. Now some of
the anouncemeflts are met with
stony silence outside of some little
group directly benefitted. An Eng-
lish statesman n few days ago said
that the "American Policy” cliang
ed from day tci day — that no one
knew what official America would
do next. And so the whole world
waits on Washington. Many think-
ing Americans are beginning to
wonder just what the “American
Policy” is. They would like to
know how many "New Deals” the
deck holds. Not until they do find
out can Mr. Roosevelt expect them
to play their part in the game to
return national prosperity.
—BB—
The present set-up is dividing
the country into two groups, one
of which must pay the taxes to
lurnleh the doles for the other. As
the tax-burdens increase, the people
in the lower brackets of the first
class will tumble Into the second
class. Carried far enough, econom-
ic chaos will result.
—BB—
If we are to steer clear of com-
munism in the end, our President
must make some definite state-
ment, backed up by action, that
will reassure business and turn
money Into the channels of indus-
try and commerce. When business
began its upward trend in early
spring, such a word, coupled with
action that suited, might have ac-
complished. by now, more than has
all the much-propagandized activ-
ities of NR A.
—BB—
It cannot be especially comfort-

Hi«h
Memorial to Gompers Is Dedicated
E. D. Parnell, one of the out-
standing vocational agricultural
teachers of Texas, has been added
to the staff of the Kingsville High
School and this week will take
charge of a class of 28 boys who
have enrolled in the agricultural
class organized since the opening
of the present school term, it was
announced today by School Super-
intendent J. D. Bramlette.
The Runge High School, where
Parnell has taught agriculture for
several -years, boasts one of the
strongest departments of training
in farm subjects to be found in
Texas. The students who have rep-
resented Parnell’s classes on the
judging teams in poultry, animal
husbandry and other branches of
farm study have been consistent
winners in district, state and even
national competition.
With the Texas College of Arts
and Industries recognized as a
training institution for agricultural
teachers under the Smith-Hughes
Act, the high school class under
Parnell will serve for critic teach-
ing and observation purposes by
college students training for agri-
cultural teaching. Parnell’s full
time will be devoted to work in the
High School, Bramlette says.

COTTON CONTROL
PUN FOR TWO
FEARS SLATER
Secretary of Vgrieulture Out -
lines Plan For
Years 1 !»:i I-
1935
College Station — Details of the
new 1934-35 cotton plan to he of
fered Southern cotton growers by
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration were received here in
| a telegram to O. II Martin, director
of the Extension Service, front C.
A. Cobb, chief of the Cotton Sec
tion. The plan contemplates a 25
million acre crop next year, cash
rentals for the land left unplanted
with cotton, county production con-
trol associations of farmers, no
plow-up campaigns, and parity pric-
es for at least a part of next year's
crop.
Secretary Wallace also offers to
cotton producers loans of 10 cents
per pound on their present crop to
unable them to hold their cotton
until prices are nearer a fair ex-
change value.
The new program will allocate
the acreage by states among cot-
ton farmers and restrict total plant-
ings to approximately 25 million
acres next year. This Is expected
to be about 60% of the five year
average for 1928 to 1932 inclusive,
and this will he the basis on which
allotments nre made to states,
counties and individuals. The grow-
er will be compensated In part l>v
<ash rentals for the land left out
of production on a sliding scale has-
ed on the productivity of the land.
The big feature of the new plan, ac-
cording to Mr. Cobh, is the domes-
tic allotment clause which pro-
vides that a producer shall receive
approximately parity prices for
that part of next year’s crop con-
sumed In the United States. Pay-
ments are to he based on the pro-
portion of the 5-year average pro-
duction which Is domestically con-
sumed.
The new program will operate
through county cotton production
control associations through which
growers will enter into contracts
for two years with the Secretary of
Agriculture. The acreage to be
planted In 1934 Is to be determined
on or before January 1st next.
Compensation for 1935 reductions
Is *o he on the same basis as for
next year. Reductions for 1935 In
acreage will not be more than 2f»'!,
of the flve-yeur average acreage,
Mr. Cobh said.
