that Texas has ever had. The state-
ment stands.
So congratulations to the weather
man;
Congratulations to the East Tex-

sponsor for the enterprise that held
its first exhibition at Marshall last
year;
, Congratulations to Gus F. Taylor,
1930 president of the institution—

‘MY HOME TOWN' IS
SUBJECT OF EASTEX
SPEAKING CONTEST
Port Arthur, March 1.—One of the
features of the fourth annual con-
vention of the East Texas Chamber
of Commerce, to be held at Port
Arthur, May 11, 12 and 13, will be
the “My Home Town” speaking con-
test, in which young East Texans
from all parts of the territory serv-
ed by the regional organization will
present their respective home towns
as desirable communities iin which
to live.
The winner of the contest will be
awarded the Etheridge cup, offer-
ed annually by Mr. Thomas H. Eth-
eridge Jr., of San Antonio, a former
East Texan. The cup becomes the
permanent property of the town
whose representatives win it three
years in succession. The first year
offered it was won by Miss Frances
Thomas of Terrell, and last year it
went to William Forrest Jr., of Mid-
way. There will be other prizes also
for high-ranking speakers.
Instead of preliminary county and
district contests, as has been the
plan heretofore, contestants in the
section-wide contest will be appoint-
ed by local school superintendents
and chamber of commerce secretar-
ies, as official representatives of
their respective towns, and will be
given a written certificate of such
appointment for presentation to the
contest committee at Port Arthur.
Each town wiill be allowed only one
representative. A preliminary contest
will be held in the convention city
on Monday, May 12 and judges will
select a number of the best speak-
ers to compete for the Etheridge cup
before the general convention on
Tuesday, May 18.
Contestants will be allowed a max-
imum of five minutes in which to
present their respective home towns
as a desirable place in which to
live. Any and all available data on
the contestant’s home town and its
trade territory that will set forth its
advantages is admissible subject
matter.
Each contestant must prepare his
own speech, although another per-
son may point out corrections in
English, and drill in delivery is per-
missible. SpeaChes may be spoken
from memory, but the assistance of
East Texas Dairy Show Is Seen As
Biggest of Kind Ever Held in Texas
There are on exhibit more than
300 of the royal blood of the tribes
of Jersey, Holstein, Guernsey and
Ayershire. Their fine condition and
records—and the interest that exhib-
itors and exposition visitors are tak-
ing in the show—are all marvelous.
There are county herds in the
show from fourteen counties; there
are farm herds and individual en-
tries here from toS many counties
to mention. From Hebronville away
down on the edge of the lower Rio
Grande Valley comes a princely
herd. From Ardmore, Oklahoma,
came a wonderful exhibit of animals
—from Denison, Sherman, Corsicana,
Marshall, Sulphur Springs, and al-
most all the intervening areas, and
from many points to the South and
East, entries have been made sing-
ly and in groups—and from our own
Smith county there are numerous
entries that “stack up” alongside the
best of them. For this interest we
can thank such men as Winston,
Whittington, Gary, and others of
the dairy farms of the county, and
Gentry anti Shultz, the chambers of
commerce, the railway agricultural
departments—and maybe the county
press a little—for all have preached
better dairy herds in season and out
of season.
Judging is yet in progress as this
story is written— and the lists of
winnings as well as the list of ex-
hibitors are so formidable, because
of length, that we doubt if space can
be found for detailed publication.
Former Smith County Boy Now a
Minister, Opens Show
The East Texas Dairy Show open-
ed Monday. The first formality (if
there were any formalities) was
when Dr. Max Strang, pastor of
First Congregationalist Church of
Dallas, delivered an address at the
noon luncheon of the Kiwanis Club.
Dr. Strang is a Smith county boy.
He used to live on the farm of the
late Isaiah Browning who in his day
was one of the biggest planters in
the eastern part of the county.
Dr. Strang, it is said, “milked his
way thru college.” He paid an elo-
quent tribute to the cow—the cow by
the possession and utilization of
Which any country can become pros-
perous. He cited the fact that Wis-
consin, the leading dairying state of
the Union, though in a cold and
rigorous cluimate, is the most pros-
perous state in the Union. Sixty to
80 per cent of the loans made in
that state for all purposes are said
to be local capital. The cow, said
Dr. Strang, will solve our economic
problems, and because of that, he
said, the cow will pave the way for
our social and spiritual advance-
ment.
Dr. Strang’s address was rich in
wit, in simile and metaphor — and
richer in facts and in cogent reason-
ing. It is said by his auditors at the
Kiwanis luncheon and by those who
also heard him speak at the open-
ing of the exposition on the grounds
that no speaker^ hath ever brought
to us a greater message. Let Dr.
Strang, former Smith county boy,
come again.
W. H. D. Members From 7 Counties

Why the South Is Asked
To Reduce Cotton Acreage
The Federal Farm Board urges that every effort be made
to reduce the cotton acreage in the South by not less than 6,000,000
acres in 1930.
The following essential facts as to the cotton situation
were prepared from data assembled by Dr. O. C. Stine, principal
agricultural economist of the United States Department of Agri-
culture, and were presented for wide dissemination at the Jackson
(Miss.) conference on acreage.
If the same acreage be planted to cotton in 1930 as was
planted in 1929 (47,569,000) and the yield be the average of the
last five years (162.7 pounds per acre), the yield on the acres har-
vested (45,981,000 in 1929) would be 15,000,000 bales or more.
If the yield on the 1929 acreage Would equal that of 1926
(182.6 pounds per acre) the crop would reach 17,500,000 bales.
A carry over of 3,000,000 bales in this country would make
a total of 18,000,000 bales of cotton for sale during 1930. If the
3,000,000 bales are added to a possible 17,000,000-bale crop the total
would be 20,500,000 bales. World consumption of American cotton
was about 15,000,000 bales last season.
Either of these figures would reach a disaster to the South
and would affect all lines of industry.
Loss of $600,000,000
In 1926 the record cotton crop of 18,000,000 bales sold for
less than $1,000,000,000, whereas 10,000,000 bales in 1923 gold for

COTTON ACRES CUT
IN 1927 BROUGHT
IN HIGHER PRICES
Ten to Fifteen Per cent Reduc-
tion in -Acreage Raised
Prices, Firm Declares
An urgent appeal to cotton plant-
ers for acreage reduction has been
sent out to thousands of planters,
merchants and bankers throughout
the cotton belt by J. W. Jay & com-
pany, commission merchants of. New
York. City. Copy of the letter fol-
lows:
With world’s consumption of Am-
erican cotton approximately half a
million bales below- the first six
months of last season while domes-
tic figures will be compelled to run
against a monthly average of 616,
000 during the second half of the
year, indications point to a consider-
able increase in the carry-over on
July 31, compared with a year ago.
As curtailment is still in force
among American mills and the ex-
port movement continues to run be-
hind last season to the extent of
over 600,000 bales, liquidation of
both contracts and spot cotton weak-
ened the position, carrying spot
prices in New Orleans more than a
cent below the Farm Board lending
figures at that port.
Deserves Thought
The planting season is rapidly ap-
proaching and this whole subject of
the amount of land to be given over
to cotton should receive the earn-
est consideration of every cotton
grower in the South. When prices
declined to 10c and 12c a pound un-
der the record acreage of nearly 49,-
000,000 and the record production of
18,000,000 bales in 1926, planters cut
acreage 10% to 15% the following
spring. This not only brought about
a smaller yield but caused a profita-
ble readjustment of the price level
and resulting returns to the producer.
Acreage was steadily increased dur-
ing the two succeeding years until
last season the acreage was back al-
most to the high water mark of
1926. During the past few years, for-
eign countries have been growing
more and more cotton until the
world price has declined to an un-
remunerative figure.
In an emergency of this character
nothing that the Government can do
can succeed without the assistance
and co-operation of the individual.
Thoroughly aware of the plight of
the farmer and in an effort to bring
to agriculture some measure of the
returns accruing to other lines of
industry, Congress has passed the
Farm Bill and the Farm Board is
now functioning under this act.. It
is becoming increasingly evident
that the Board itself has in mind
policies of far reaching significance
but, in order to beebme effective,
they must meet with co-operation on
the part of the individual.
Must Limit Output
ft is to the great mass of indepen-
dent growers that the importance of
acreage control must appeal in or-
der to have any definite effect on
the output. Partial reduction in acre-
age by members of co-operative as-
sociations would not be sufficient to
restore prices to a profitable level.
Regardless of the action of those
who are now co-operating under the
activities of the Farm Board Agen-
cies, each individual grower should
feel called upon to weigh the whole
subject carefully and be led to sub-
stitute a certain percentage of the
land planted to cotton the past two
years to other purposes. The De-
partment of Agriculture has just
pointed out a variety of ways in
which the farmer can produce sup-
plies needed for the farm and the
home which are now purchased when
they might easily be grown on the
place. If the cotton grower will
whole-heartedly unite with and sup-
port the Farm Board in its program
to limit production of certain crops
through diversification of fanning
activity, the road will be opened to
substantially improved agricultural
prospects.

The Federal Farm Board has made it clear that it can not
avert a cotton crisis unless farmers reduce the acreage substan-
tially.
Texas in 1929 planted 18,912,000 acres in cotton, compared

On the 18,948,000 acres planted in 1926 Texas raised a
crop of 5,600,000 bales, and it is estimated that nearly 400,000
