Gin managers of Deport agree
that the 1934 crop is1 at least
60% ginned. Drouth has caus-
ed early opening and the crop
is rapidly being picked out. A
total of 1436 bales have been
ginned this season as compared
with 519 bales to the same date
last year when cotton was
much later.
The Service Gin had handled
522 bales Thursday morning,
and Manager J. M. Read esti-
mated this amount as 60% of
what might be expected. There
is a possibility that favorable
conditions might slightly in-
crease the yield as has happen-
ed on rare occasions, but there
is little probability of it hap-
pening, according to Mr. Read.
Manager W. L. Chalker of
the Farmers Gin which has
ginned 424 bales, believes 65%
cf the crop is out. A general
rain in the next few days with
an unusually mild fall might
benefit cotton slightly, Mr.
Chalker states, but there is no
reason to expect the yield to
be swelled.
The Home Gin has a total of
490 bales for the season, and
Manager C. E. Davidson esti-
mates it as 60% of the crop,
basing his report on statements
of farmers.
Applications for the sale of
distressed cattle in Red River
county are expected to total
nearly 15,000, a figure which
was at first thought 4,000 or
5,000 too high. The total had
reached 8,000 more than a week
ago with no let up in registra-
tions.
Continued drouth has brought
about a crisis for owners of
livestock who have neither
grass nor water.
The last week has revealed
the presence of a larger num-
ber of suffering cattle and dis-
tressed owners than were
thought to be in the county. As
pastures have failed, water
holes disappeared and other
sources of supply vanished the
seriousness of the situation has
grown until a crisis actually
faces a large number of live-
stock owners who are turning
to government sales as a relief.
Welcome relief from the high
temperatures of mid-August
has accompanied showers and
threatening weather over the
Deport territory this week.
Showers fell Monday night and
Tuesday afternoon, helping t»
hold down the thermometer and
settling dust.
Water is still scarce and sole
benefit from the showers has
been in relief they brought
from heat and dust. In several
scattered sections in Lamar and
Red River counties rain of con-
sequence has fallen. McCrury
had a fairly heavy rain Satur-
day night and a moderate rain
visited Bagwell Sunday. Stock
water was replenished by pre-
cipitation at Caviness and Max-
ey on Monday night.
Drouth stricken sections of
Oklahoma and Arkansas have
received heavy rains and hope
is held that the end of the
drouth is near. Crops can be
benefitted only slightly, but the
water scarcity will be relieved
and pastures eaten down and
burned by drouth will be re-
vived. Time also remains for
planting of fall gardens.
Highway work in Lamar
county during 1934 is expected
to acciunt for an expenditure
of more than $325,000, two
thirds of which will be spent for
labor. This includes construct-
. ion of Highway 49 at a cost of
$206,947.78 between Deport
and Paris and $28,332 between
Deport and Bogata is in Red
River county and not included.
Maintenance cost of Highway
49 forthe year la $8,500.—tin-
ker p of all Lamar county high-
ways for 1934 will cost $18 000.
Th° highway budget calls for
expenditures of $248 6R9.40 on
nr w construction, ,$25,414.03 on
bctterment jobs which are the
widening of roads and bridges
and levelling of concrete pave-
ment, and maintenance of $54,-

Earl Grogan of Rugby, has
secured abundantfeed this year
from four acres of sndan grass,
says the Bogata News. The
pasture has grazed six mature
animals and a calf, and gained
so much headway on them that
it had to be cut, yielding three
tens of hay.

Texas farmers received $11,-
562,394 in 1934 AAA cotton re-
duction payments to Aug. 16,
or approximately 33 per cent of j
the $38,114,245 paid cut in the
entire Cotton Belt to date, AAA
officials announced Monday.
These payments comprised
the bulk of $50,000,0/)0 first
rental installment paid cotton
growers, of which Texas, re-
ceived about $14,000,000. An
equal payment is due co-oper-
ating producers in September
when proof of compliance with
the AAA program is establish-
ed and a final parity payment
of $25,000,000 to all states is
due after Dec. 1.
Payments to Lamar county
farmers total $145,851 with
Red River growers receiving
$92,766. ---v “ *"
