sects. This is done in several
different ways* such as cutting
off the food supply, destroying
their breeding places, and in the
case of the pink bollworm rots
the material in which this in-
sect spends the winter.
Stalk destruction also puts
organic matter I>ack into the soil
in time that it might do some
good for the coming crop. The
farmer also benefits in that he
has his ground in such a shape
that it will retain the winter
moisture.
The question of who Is re-
sponsible for the destruction of
the cotton stalks seems to be of
most interest. This can be ans-
wered easiest by quoting part
of the Pink Bollworm Law.
“Each owner of land in said
counties and his tenant, agent
or lessee, if any, of said land,
shall be jointly and—or severally
responsible for the conducting
cotton production as provided
herein, and for any act or omis-
sion on said land not within
the authorization conferred
herein and in violation of the
Pink Bollworm Law, each per-
son shall be subject to the
penalty imposed by law for said
violation.”
This means that the person
who plants the cotton is respon-
sible for the destruction of the
stalks, regardless of whether he
is going to work the same land
or not for the coming year, how-
ever this does not relieve the
landlord of the responsibility.
The destruction deadline for
Freestone County is midnight
Dec. 15, 1956.

program is three-fold:
1. To stimulate interest and
initiative in town and country
work.
2. To recognize outstanding
achievements by pastors and
churches.
3. To help Texas Baptists
realize their responsibilities not
only to thefr own local church
and community, but to the na-
tion and the world as well.
The association is one of the
122 geographical areas in which
the Baptist General Convention
of Texas promotes such work
each year.
The denomination includes
one out of every six persons in
the state, with 3,704 churches
and 1,430,000 members in Texas.
Approximately two-thirds of the
churches are classified as town
and country congregations.

AUSTIN.—Gov. Allen Shivers
again is heading the ranks of
Texas for Ike. After killing a
1,000-pound bear in Alaska, the
governor came home gunning
for Adlal Stevenson.
Shivers is to make three out-
of-state speeches for Eisen-
how’er this week He said he is
ready to make more “any time,
any place.”
He criticized scheduled ap-
pearances in Texas of out-of-
state U. S. senators who voted
against the tideland3 bill.
In reply Sen. Lyndon John-
son said that the Governor was
"being discourteous and insult-
ing” to visitors to Texas. “The
ttdelands issue,” he said, “is as
dead as Allan Shivers.”
SPECIAL ELECTION DANG-
LES—Campaigners for Price
Daniel’s U. S. Senate seat are
in for more tortuous waiting. i
Governor Shivers has said he!
will have have no announce-
ment on calling an election until
after Nov. 6. A special senate
election, he added, “has no place
being mixed up with a presi-
dential election.”
CO T T O N REFERENDUM
SET—Texas cotton farmers will
vote Dec. 11 on whether to ex-
tend federal marketing quotas
to the 1957 crop.
Two-thirds approval of farm-
ers voting nationwide is requir-
ed to put quotas into effect.
Continuation of wheat quotas
has already been voted.
USDA also announced that
each Texas county’s 1957 cotton
acreage allotment will be with-
in at least one percent of its
1956 level. This decision ap-
parently was aimed at quelling
a prolonged rivalry between
East, and West Texas counties
for increased acreage.
Total Texas cotton acreage
for 1957 is to be 7,419,893 acres,
slightly higher than 1956.
ELECTION INVALIDATED
—Local option elections held in
an area less than a justice pre-
cinct are illegal, say the courts.
Texas Supreme Court has up-
held a Civil Appeals Court de-
cision to this effect. As a result.,
a section of Austin considered
“dry” since 1935, is now legally
“wet.”
Local option elections, said I
the appelate court, can be held
only county-wide, city-wide or’
in an entire justice precinct.
STATE GROWTH FORE-1
SEEN—Texas’ need for state
office space will lie trippled by
1980.
So say planning consultants
for the state building program.
They estimate that Austin alone j
will have some 11,500 state em-
ployees 24 years hence. State-!
wide the total is set at 24.000 to
30,000.
Planners say the 200,933
gas taxes will be considered by
the Third Court of Civil Ap-
peals on Feb. 6.
District court ruled for the
gas company in the test case.
An issue is whether some 30
companies who paid taxes, with-
out protest, can get their money
back.
Companies which paid under
protest were repaid shortly
after the law was declared un-
constitutional
ALCOHOLICS INCREASE —
A sharp rise in alcoholism
among Texans during 1956 is
indicated.
Twice as many patients have
been admitted to alcoholic
wards this year as last, reports
the State Hospital Board.
Total number of alcoholics in
the state is estimated at 155,100.
This amount is almost twice the
1940 estimate of 83,304, repre-
sents about 3 percent of total
population.
FARM INCOME UP —Texas
cash farm income fer 1956 is
running slightly higher than
1955, despite the drought.
But, according to the Univer-
sity of Texas Bureau of Busi-
ness Research, the figures re-
flect desperation, not prosper-
ity.
High income, it is explained,
comes from sale of production
materials, such as breeding
