Administration will make
loans to those who are
with the Agricultural
Program so they may have funds to
undertake needed protection of their
lands from wind erosion.

the 1939 AAA soil conservation pro-
gram because of lack of

“We feel that the farmer

correct land conservation practices.
The Farm Security Administration
has been designated by the Depart-
ment of Agriculture to furnish this
short term credit to the farmer.”
Loans will be maae up to 60 per
cent of the anticipated Triple A pay-
ment. The entire amount of loan
must be used for necessities to pre-
pare the land for a crop, which will
also serve as a wino erosion preven-
tion crop, such as sorghums, millets
and sudan grass. These necessities
can include machinery, gasoline, oil
or other supplies.
“In order to be eligible for these
FSA loans, an applicant must be re-
commended by the AAA county com-
mitte and be unable to secure the
necessary credit elsewhere,” says Mr.
Stubbs, local FSA supervisor. “This

The farmers also must agree not to

ment other than to the Farm Secur-
ity Administration.”
Thirty-six hundred farmers in Re-
gion XII last year took advantage of
these loans. They borrowed a total
of $712,292 which was used for soil
conservation practices and repaid
from ACP payments.

OVER 100 LICENSE TAGS
ISSUED HERE SATURDAY
Wheat prospects for the Groom
community look better this year than
in a number of years, farmers in this
area report following rains last Fri-
day, Saturday, Monday (night and
Tuesday.
Good winter and early spring mois-
ture has produced a much better
stand than has been the condition at
this season in years past.
There has been less wheat blown
out, due to the absence of high March
winds. Although experience indicates
that there is commonly as much high
wind in. April as in March, there will
be little damage by wind it is thought
because of the much better stand of
wheat to protect the soil from blow-
ing.
Little Wheat in this area has been
lost by blowing out except in the
Lark district west of town.
Bert Bural, mail earrier, who has
been ovet most of the community
since the rain reports that all
wheat is looking good. He said
the rains reached all parts of
area, some receiving more than
ers. It is estimated that the rains
Friday and Saturday added to the
moisture received Monday night and
Tuesday totaled three-quarters of an
inch precipitation.
The freeze Tuesday was thought to
have done little damage to fruit trees
but caused several phone lines to
break when they became heavily load-
ed with ice. Power and light lines
were damaged and the city of Groom
was without electricity Tuesday.

Box Supper To Be
Held Friday Night
Merchants doing business in the
wheat sections of the state are ex-
pected to start late in April to feel
the stimulating effects of an estimat-
ed $3,500,000 increase in the pur-
chasing power of approximately 50,-
000 Texas wheat farmers eligible to
receive wheat price adjustment pay-
ments.
Instructions for making applicat-
ions fpr the 1939 wheat “parity”
payments have been sent from AAA
headquarters at College Station, to
132 counties, and it is believed that
nine-tenths of this state’s wheat far-
mers will be entitled to payment for
acreage reduction this year.
Jess Watson, wheat farmer and
state AAA committeeman represent-
ing the Wichita Falls area, explain-
ed that the wheat price adjustment
payment of 11 cents a bushel is made
on the average yield of the 1939 al-
lotment, and that it supplements
1939 conservation checks on wheat
expected to amount to more than $5,-
000,000 to be delivered next winter
and spring.
An estimated total of $3,600,000 in
1938 conservation payments on wheat
is now in the process of distribution.
While the Texas wheat acreage to
be harvested this summer, largely be-
cause of the farm program, will be an
estimated 390,000 acres less than last
year, Watson pointed out that the re-
duction is more than offset by pay-
ments.
“At average prices and yields for
the past ten years,” he figured, “ the
390,000-acre difference between 1939
and 1938 would be worth about $3,-
900,000. Texas farmers will get

COUNTY CHILDREN’S COUNCIL
TO SPONSOR LUNCHEON
With farmers throughout the state
commencing operations for the 1939
season, the Texas Agricultural Con-
servation Committee of the AAA this
month urged landlords and tenants
to seek a better understanding of one
another’s problems, and cited regula-
tions of the farm program to keep
renters and sharecroppers from be-
coming victims of managerial
“squeeze plays” to deprive them of
benefit payments.
“We recognize, human nature be-
ing what it is, that in addition to the
many, many landlords who lean over
backwards to safeguard the interests
of their tenants, there always is a
small minority of landowners who try
to hog the earnings at the expense of
those who work the land,” George
Slaughter, committee chairmarl, as-
serted. Slaughter’s Wharton county
farm is operated partly by tenants.
“I want everyone to know,” he ad-
ded, “that the AAA frowns on such
practices and will very carefully
scrutinize any application for pay-
ment made by a person who appears
to have changed the status of ten-
ants or used any other scheme the
effect of which was or will be to de-
prive anyone of all or part of a pay-
ment under the program.”
Except that tractors, trucks and
other mechanical devices have made
I inroads on man and mule power,
there is room for a normal number
of families on the land of Texas,
i Slaughter believes, despite the fact
i that the farm program has brought
about a curtailment of cash crop
1 acreages since 1932.
| “While not so much land is in cot-
ton and other soil-depleting crops as
I there used to be, practically all the
cropland of Texas can be utilized un-
der the program,” he said. “More of

God Ever Cut Man Off From
Living With the Single Eye.
Diagnosis of Our Sickness in
Bringing Heaven Into Daily
“Conversion” A Possible Handicap to
Life. The Function of Creative
Prayer in Life. Slaves or Freemen

son’s Life? Man’s Search for Life;
The Meaning of the Cross in Life;
Barrier to Gaining Life. Compensat-
ions of Life. Human Responsibility
in Gaining Life. The Meaning of
Death and Immortality in Life. Be-
ginning to Live Where We Are.
Each of these subjects will, in some
measure, be builded upon the other
successively as they are presented,
each one forming the foundation for
the next. To get the most from
these services it will be necessary to
attend regularly. Attend this meet-

The observance of good sanitation

prompt removal of all waste matter
in and around homes to lessen the
spread of disease, notably diseases
affecting infants and children. Clean-

ion upon the dirt and disease prob-
lems of the State.
Spring clean-up week provides an
opportunity for the proper disposal

that remedial procedures may be in-

whether your community makes use

You should make it a point to better
inform yourself on the sanitary mea-
sures carried out in the various div-
isions of your municipal government
and in business.
The idea of spring clean-up week
in Texas is that it be an intensive
one week period of scrubbing, raking,

spring clean-up week will generate a
standard of cleanliness in each com-
