Plans for giving more effective
service to Texas low-income farm-
ers will be made July 31 to
August 4 in College Station at
the anntual state conference of
Farm Security Administration
workers, Louis W. Lee, Free-
stone county supervisor said to-
day.
Theme of the meeting is “Help-
ing Worthy Farmers Help Them-
selves.”
Mr. Lee estimated that 107,500
state farm families are receiving
incomes of less than $500 a year,
including all feed and other goods
produced for home use. “Nearly
half of this group had annual
family incomes of less than $250
he said, ‘'which means that they
are trying to exist on about' $1
a week per person, and this dol
las is not in cash but partly in
home-grown products.”
“FSA has made 56,500 small
loans in Texas to these farm fam
ilies to help them buy seed, tools,
livestock, canning and other equip-
ment needs to give them a ‘toe
hold’ on the land. A recent sur-
vey showed that these farmers
have increased their net worth by
$266 per family and at the same
time are paying off their loans.
“Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace has reported,” the supervisor
continued, “that the program for
lending worthy tenant farmers
money to buy their farms is be
yond the experimental state, that
it is ready for a sound and reas
onable expansion. In Texas 507
farmers have been helped in the
past two years to buy their farms
and to date have repaid more on
their loans than has become due
An increased appropriation by
Congress has recently been an-
nounced which will permit us to
practically double the number of
counties in which farm purchase
loans will be made this year.”
Every one of these loans is
secured by a first mortgage on
real estate, conservatively valued
both by government appraisers
and by a county committee of
three farmers who are thoroughly
familiar with local conditions.
Moreover, the loans are payable
over a 40-year period at three
per cent interest.
“This means,” the supervisor
emphasized, “that in a great ma-
jority of cases the annual install-
ments, plus taxes and insurance,
amount to less than the tenant
formerly paid in rent for the same
farm.”
Washington officials attending
the conference at College Station
include C. B. Baldwin, Assistant
FSA Administrator; John O.
Walker, director of the'resettle-
ment projects division; Simon C.
Skeels, chief of the collections
divisions; and Mercer G. Evans,
director of labor relations.
Other speakers include Dr. T.
O. Walton, president of Texas A.
and M. College; H. H. Williamson
Director of Extension; and E. J.
Kyle, Dean of Agriculture.
Mrs. A. D. Pratas and son,
Chris, and daughter, Mrs. Gus

Teague Receives
First Bale Of
New Crop Cotton
The first bale of new season
cotton wis brought in Monday
morning, July 24, by M. R. Seely
and son and ginned at the Mun-
ger gin, which contributed the
ginning. The bale weighed 415
pounds.
The bale was raised on Mr.
Seely's farm about a half mile
from the city limits south of town.
The first bale came in 10 days
later, on Aug. 3 last year, and
fivie days earlier than the 1937
first bale which arrived on July
28. The first bale in 1936 was gin-
ned Augest 10. Both the 1938 and
1937 bales were produced by Bill
Thomas on County Auditor Comp-
ton White’s farm at Dew. The
first bale last- year weighed 585
pounds, according to the files oi
the Chronicle.
Bill Thomas, who also brought
a bale Monday morning, arrived
30 minutes later than Mr. Seely
and hauled the bale on to Fair-
field where it was ginned and a
premium subscribed. Mr. Thomas,
it will be remembered, brought
in the first bale the past two years
in Teague. He is a tenant on
Compton White’s place at Dew.
Mr. Seely’s cotton was planted
March 25, on ordinary Teague
-country cotton land, using Mebane
seed. The bale was not sold, but
a premium was subscribed by
Teague business men amounting
to $41.50, though the efforts of
the Chamber of Commerce and the
Retail Merchants Association and
giten to ~Mr. Seely for having
brought in the first bale of the
season cotton.
It is understood that Bill Thom-
as’ cotton, as well as that of
others in this section, is opening
fast due to the hot dry weather,
and several bales are due to be
picked and brought in next week.
A list of premium subscribers
is being published in another
column in this issue of the Chron-
icle. i

College Station, July 27,—On»
hundred and six organized cotton
improvement groups in Texas al-
leady have applied to the Agricul-
tural Marketing Serivce of the U.
S. Department of Agriculture for
free classing of their 1939 crops,
E. A. Miller, agronomist of the
Texas A. & M. Extension Serivce.
has announced.
The 106 applications place Tex-
as far in the lead in the use ol
this service, Miller said. He
pointed out that all together 179
apnlications had been received in
the cotton states, up to Julyt 11,
with Arkansas 32, Mississippi 16,
and Arizona 13, trailing in that
order.
Samples of all cotton ginned
for grower members of each ap-
proved organization will be classed
free for grade and staple length
by government classers. Also free
will be market news reports.
“The purpftse of the service,
Miller has stated, “is to help
farmers get definite and accurate
information on the grade, staple,
and current market value of the
quality cotton they produce."
He urged that additional im
provement groups take advantage
of the opportunity offered. Ap-
plications may be filed as soon
as the cotton is planted, with
September 1 as the final dead-line.
Requests for application forms
may be made through county ag-
ricultural agents. Texas offices of
the service may be addressed as
follows: Office in Charge, bivis-
ion of Cotton Marketing, Agricul-
tural Marketing Service, at either
P. O. Box 1140, Austin; P. O. Box
1366, Dallas, or 509 U. S. Court

Bowen Buses
Through Teajfue
Air Conditioned
When the growth and develop-
ment of Teague were pointed out
to R. C- Bowen, owner and Pres-
ident of Bowen Motor Coaches,
be agreed to put one of the first
air-conditioned buses on the route
serving Teague.
After two years of experirnen-
tal work in co-operation with a
large manufacturer of air-condi-
tioned equipment, Bowen is in-
troducing the first such buses to
be operated in the Southwest.
As explained by J. E. Smith
local Bowen representative, this
is the most recent stride in a
series of pioneering steps taken
by Bowen, whose buses were the
first to be operated on a large
scale westward from Fort Wort
and which now travel a total of
22,000 miles per day.
It was the, line which origi-
nated, (1) the Mainliner idea (di-
rect routes which shorten mileage
and save time;) (2) started using
rear engine coaches to eliminate
noise and fumes; (3) and con-
centrated on frequency of service.
The buses are air-conditioned
with the refrigeration type ol
equipment which takes moisture
out of the air to reduce the hu-
midity. The air is circulated and
changed three times each minute
after dust and pollen have been
filtered out

Between Neighbors
F. E. Hill hA8 built a silo on
top of the ground using brick
walls and plastered on the inside
with cement. The demensions are
9x12x30 feet and it will hold about
65 tons of silage. It was filled
with broadcast red top, the feed
being chopped with an ensilage
cutter before going into the silo.
Mrt Hill says he is still feeding
silage from a trench silo on his
farm on the Trinity river. But
instead of feeding it to cattle or
mules he is feeding it to hogs and
they sem to like it. He has ono
silo containing about 150 tons of
feed that he has not opened be-
cause he did not need it during
the past winter. This is real feed
insurance.
J. B. Daniel filled two trenches
last year and plans to fill several
more this year. He has bought a
new silage cutter to use in chop-
ping the feed. Horace Sheffield is
putting up about 300 tons of feed
in his upright silo and trench
silo this week. A. H. Bass has dug
a large trench and will begin
filling it soon. Byron Nettle plans
to fill “one more” again this year.
Several 4-H Club Boys plan to fill
silos to feed steers from this fall.
Hegari, sorghum and corn are
the principal crops geing used to
fill these silos. Peavines may be
used if chopped with hegari oi
sorghum so as to get the sugar
into it to help cure them.
Anyone interested in fillig a silo
for the first time should feel free
to call on the County Agent for
assistance in digging and filling it.

Washington, July 27.—It’s still
about an even het among Wash-
ington observers whether Congress
will adjourn around the first of
August or stay in session indefin-
itely, wrangling over neutrality
legislation.
The action of the Senate Com-
mittee on Foreign Affairs, in vot-
ing, twelve to eleven, to postpone
consideration of neutrality legisla-
tion until the next session, is not
necessarily final. The hope for
some compromise between the Ad-*
ministration’s desires and those of
Congress still persists.
It can he stated indisputably
that the entire membership of
houses of Congress and the en-
tire Executive branch of Govern-
ment, from the President down,
are in absolute and complete
agreement on one important point
of national policy. They all want
wholeheartedly to keep the United
States out of war—any war. The
disagreement is wholly on what
particular means will best ac-
complish that purpose.
Shall the United States forbid
the sale of arms and war supplies
to any nation engaged in any in-
ternational war? The present law
requires the President to proclaim
an emhargo against all belliger-
ent nations in case of war.
This plan of keeping Amer-
ica neutral has the support of
practically all of the Republicans
and some of the anti-Administra-
tion Democrats in botoh houses,
thus bringing party politics into
an international question and
creating the belief that a good
deal of the opposition to the Ad-
ministration’s desire to have the
neutrality law amended is based
upon the desire to embarrass the
FYesident, rather than upon the
real welfare of the nation.
The position of the Adminis-
tration was expressed in a long
statement by Secretary Hull who
stated flatly that the present neu-
trality act would tend to draw
the United States into- war rather
than to keep the nation out.
He recommended that the law
be amended, if Congress continued'
tp believe that a special neutral-
ity was required, so as to elmin-
ate the present arms embargo.
It is the right in international law
and precedent, he said, of any
nation to buy or sell arms to any
other nation, under any condi-
tions, if they are able to buy and
the sellers are able to deliver.
Mr. Hull’s Proposal
MY. Hull’s proposals were:
To prohibit American ships from
entering combat areas; to restrict
travel by American citizens in
combat areas; to require that
goods exported from the United
States to belligerant countries
shall be preceded by transfer of
title to the foreign purchasers; to
continue the existing legislation
respecting loans and ciedits to

solicitation and collection in this
country of funds for belligerents,
and to continue the licensing sys-
tem under the munitions control
board covering importation and
exportation of war supplies.
The net effect of the Adminis-
tration proposals would be, it is
agreed, to give England and
France an advantage. They have
the funds to buy war munitions
ip America, much of them in “ear-
marked” gold already on deposit
in American banks. iThe dictator-
ships have ho such financial re-
sources. England and France
have the ships necessary to carry
American supplies across the
ocean and could easily prevent
their successful transportation to
their enemies.
The argument against the Ad-
ministration program is that, such
being the case, the" Roosevelt-Hull
plan would be un-neutral in real-
ity, since it would favor one side-
against the other.
