begging Mr. Fqx’o permission to

COTTON FARMERS SPEND
VERY LITTLE MONEY
FOR COTTON GOODS
College Station, March 19.—
Texas farm families with a groas
cash income of less than $500 per
year spend only $23.53 for cotton
goods in 12 months, despite the
fact that Vnost of them get the
major part of their incomes from
raising cotton.
This figure Is based on a survey
made this winter in 20 Texas
counties. An average of 21 fanvir
lies in each of the counties re-
sponded to a questionnaire which
was circulated in community mat-
tress centers. Tabulations made in
the Washington Office of the
Triple-A and relayed to Mrs. Dora
R. Barnes, Iclothing specialist for
the A. and M. College Extension
Service, showed that the average
cash income during 1940 for these
families of 5 persons was $253.26.
Fifty-five percent of the report-
ing families take part in the
Triple-A program, and the aver-
age AAA payment per family is
$79.71. This represents about 30
per cent of these families’ in-
comes.
Mrs. Barnes says the new sup-
plementary AAA provision, which
provides that cotton farmers may
he compensated with stamps for
further reduction in their cotton
acreage in 1941, will tend to in-
crease materially the- per family
consumption *>f cotton goods this
year.
And another thing. What are
the mag eds doing, preparing
Betty Carstairs for a motion pic-
ture career, trying to buy Whale
Cay, or going to run her for
president in ’44?

THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WANTED
Mr. Fox had another remark-
able thing in his paper last week,
too. He said that what Madison-
ville needed was a good three
weeks’ drought. Amen, brother,
and Teague likewise.

of to use on Wallas Berry is the

Whenever you hear anything
about horses and rodeos, you are
pretty sure to hear about Cam
Gunter and Mano Miles. But defi-
nitely. And because we have seen
them in Teague so much around
rodeo time—we get just aa pleased
as if they were personal friends
of ours. Last week, for instance,
at the Fat Stock show they were
judging the best stock hones for
one day, and, hearing is believing,
Mr. Miles won fint place, and Mr.
Gunter was right there, too.
