One treatment of BERLOU eliminates moth life
from ai tides already infested and absolutely prevents
further damage. BERLOU is odorless, colorless and
absolutely harmless. It penetrates the materials and
once applied is there to stay. Dry cleaning, use or ex-

Farm wages in Texas on Jan.
1 were approximately the same
as a year ago, according .to
Bureau of Agricultural Eco-
nomics estimates, but the ratio
of the supply of farm labor to
the demand was smaller than
at the beginning of the pre-
vious two years.
Average wage for farm labor
per day without board on Jan.
1 this year was $1.10, compar-
ed with $1.15 on Oct. 1, 1934;
$1.10 on Jan. 1 last year, 85c
two years ago, $1.05 three
years ago and $1.40 four years
ago. This Texas average com-
pared with the United States
average of $1.26 on Jan. 1 this
year, $1.21 a year ago and
$1.43 the 1910-14 average.
Texas’ supply of farm labor
at the beginning of the year
was 103 per cent of normal,
compared with a demand only
56 per cent of normal, making
the ratio of supply to demand
184 per cent. This ratio com-
pared with 216 per cent last
October and 291 per cent two
years ago.
Austin.—Many cases of meas-
les are being reported to the
State Department of Health.
The disease spreads very quick-
ly: it is dangerous for young
children, and because many mo-
thers are inclined to think that
measles doesn’t amount to
much and that it is better for
the children to have it and to
have it over, Dr. John W.
Brown. State Health Officer,
sends them this message:
“Measles is especially hard
on very young children—babies
from about six months old to
children of school age. It is a
treacherous disease. It often®
opens the way for pneumonia,
and other diseases of that kind,
'and it frequently leaves some
serious after-effect. It is very
‘catching’ right from the start,
so a special effort should be
the i made to keep the younger child-
I ren away from others who have
. . It’s a mistake to say, ‘Oh
let them have it, and have it
over.’
r‘But even though it may not
be as dangerous for the older
children as for the '-younger
ones, measles is a serious dis-
ease for anybody, at any age—
young or old—who has it. Any-
; body 'who has it, or who show's
I symptoms of it, should have
the best possible medical care
. —and the doctor should be sent
for promptly.
“If your child shows any of
the symptoms of measles—at
the start it of tens seems to be
only a cold*—put him or her to
bed, keep the other children
away from the one who is sick
and send for your doctor.”
“While the writer does not sub-
scribe to the theory tlyt each
country, region, or possibly
state should be as nearly self-
The Democratic Platform,
adopted in Chicago, June 27,
1932. Section 6, provides:
“Unemployment and old-age
insurance, under State laws.”
The Ways and Means Com-
mittee is now considering in the
House, and will soon report a
bill, providing that the Federal
Government twill assist the
states in granting pensions to
the aged, widows and helpless
children. The health insurance
provision has beefi eliminated.
It is proposed that the Federal
Government will furnish 50%
of the funds. The law will not
be effective in Texas, unless
the legislature accepts the pro-
visions cif the Federal act and
makes arrangements for’ the
furnishing of one-half the mon-
ey, which may be divided be-
tween the state and local gov-
ernments. The bill will also
have a bitterly contested pro-
vision providing for unemploy-
ment insurance to wage-eayn-1
ers by levying a tax on each
business involved.
Direct Loans in RFC
The Reconstruction Finance-
Corporation has been extended
for two year’. Direct loans to
industry will be continued with
the law considerably liberaliz-
ed. Heretofore, a business
commenced after January 1,
1934, could not obtain a loan.
This provision has been elim-
inated and a new business can
obtain such a loan if otherwise
qualified. Under the old law,
the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation was required to ac-
cept only full and adequate se-
curity for a loan. In other
words, the Board was required
to be more strict than the
banks. The new law provides
that a loan can be made if the
Board has reasonable assur-
ance that it will be repaid. The
new law provides that ten-year
loans may be made instead of
five-year loans as heretofore.
Loans may also be made to fin-
ance the sale of electric, plumb-
ing and air-conditioning appli-
ances or equipment intended to
encourage the placing of equip-
ment in the homes and on the
farms that will relieve much
of the drudgery and toil along
witih the advent of low priced
electricity.
New Work Projects
I hope the people in each lo-
cality will not overlook the fact
that a local committee or an
organization of some kind must
sponsor each public works pro-
ject in order to get the best re-
sults. An organization should
be formed to sponsor the Sul-
phur River project and similar
undertakings. The money will
be available soon and we «hould
get every person in cur district
employment if it is possible to
do so.

makes possible the upbuilding
of the soil—the state’s richest
heritage and the greatest sin-
gle asset which must be pre-
served throughout the years if
people are to live decently and
have a measure of prosperity
and stability.”
Dr. Conner, agreeing with
Mr. Schoffelmayer, emphasized
“the real need for sound and
constructive planning for the
best use of our land.”
These viewpoints supple-
mented earlier speeches by Dr.
Burrill and Dr. Sanders which
had to do with balancing the
Southern economy. Dr. Bur-
rill, saying that “the economy
of the South is trending toward
a lesser degree of balance,”
warned that if the productivity
of the land is further “wasted
by neglect and shortsighted ag-
ricultural policies” then .
South “ will become an in-|>v
creasingly heavy burden on the j
more productive economies of
the nation.”
brfi.'ij' ’ ‘A
With consumption of Amer-
ican cotton falling off heavily,
and competition in other cotton
producing countries throughout
the world greatly accelerated
by restriction of production in
the United States, Southern
Methodist University, through
Arnold Foundation, succeeded
in assembling leading authori-
ties of the Southwest to ex-
plore every phase of the cotton
industry and propose measures
for permanent recovery, at a
meeting in Dallas last week.
The “Cotton Crisis” confer-
ence brought together such
economists as Dr. A. B. Cox,
director of research at the
University of Texas, Peter
Molyneaux, editor of the Texas
Weekly, W. L. Clayton, cotton
exjjorter of Houston, Victor
Schoffc’mayor, agricultural ed-
itor of the Dallas News; edu-
cators such ias Drs. W. F. Hau-
hart of SMU, Aldan Lang cif
Baylor, J. T. Sanders and M.
F. Burrill of Oklahoma A. &
M., and other cotton authori-
ties.
Recommendations of confer-
ence speakers included: (1)
Restoration of foreign trade
through tariff revision, settle-
j ment of war debts, and stabil-
ization of currencies; (2) Re-
moval of government expedi-
ents, which have had the effect
of pricing American cotton out
cif world markets, to permit
American cotton farmers to
fight foreign competition; and
(3) Balancing the Southern
economy "by sensible utilization
of land and diversification on
cotton farms.
Cotfon, literally from the
ground up, was examined in
every particular. First speak-
ers concentrated on a study of
the economic system in the
South and cotton’s important
place in that system, and
speakers in the next group sug-
gested methods of balancing
the one-crop system by long-
term land programs and diver-
sification. Principles of cotton
marketing were then discussed,
and a comprehensive discussion
of both sides of the govern-
ment’s cotton program follow-
ed. Speakers then concentrat-
ed on international factors,
pointing out the extensive
world-wide character of the
cotton industry, j
The international phases
stimulated perhaps the most
interest at the conference. Mr.
Clayton, arguing the futility of
efforts to control a world crop
by domestic measures, drew this
comparison: “If the State of
Texas, with about 40 per cent
of the cotton acreage of the
United States, should, irre-
spsetive of any action by the
other twelve cotton states, at-
tempt, by one device and an-
other, to fix and maintain an
artificial price for Texas cotton,
there iw.ould be unanimous
agreement among all informed
people that such course would
end in failure. And still the
United States, occupying much
the same relative position in
the cotton world as Texas oc-
cupies in the cotton South, has
been attempting since October,
1929, to do just this.”
Mr. Molyneaux, criticizing
the trend toward economic na-
tionalism, explained that “the
commercial policy of the Unit-
I ed States, as it is operating to-
day, makes it to the interest
of practically every nation in
the world to buy as little from
the United States as possible.”
Mr. Molyneaux pointed out
that, due to the fact that the
great bulk of American cotton
must be exported, this com-
mercial policy of cutting off
foreign markets was greatly in-
juring the cotton farmer. -
Dr. Hauhart carried discuss-
ion further in this vein with
pointed criticisms of a high
protective tariff system. He
argued that the prevalent be-
lief “that the sandard of living
in the United States depends
upon a high protective tariff”
is an elusion, contending that
the high standard of living is
due to an abundance of natural
resources and efficiency of Am-
erican labor. This viewpoint
was supported by Dr. Cox in
his address evaluating the gov-
ernment’s cotton program.
While agreeing with these
authorities on the procedure to
be followed to restore foreign
markets, Mr. Schoffelmayer
turned his attention to the do-
mestic problem, explaining the
, b-nefiU of diversified farming:
A San Marcos oitizen who,
for years, has been prominent-
ly active in the business and
political life of San Marcos has
a few interesting remarks to
make in regard to our courts.
He said. “When a law-abiding
citizen goes before a ' grand
jury and indites . . . rather
gives information which leads
to the indictment of a law
breaker, he is doing his du*:y
as a citizen. But, at the same
time, he makes himself the
star witness against that law
breaker. Then a smart lawyer
takes the case and the man
who has been trying to do his
duty as a citizen is called to
the witness stand and. given a
brow-beating that is humiliat-
ing to the man in the chair.
And, the court allows it. When
an average person is called to
court and takes the witness
stand, he is, naturally, nervous
and frightened, as I know I
iam, and I have been around the
court house a lot. The lawyers
and others of the court are in
a home atmosphere. They get
a witness on the stand and
start asking him all kinds of
questions that are his private
business and have no bearing
on the case, and it is no won-
der the witness gets mad and
is apt to contradict himself.
There ought to be some method
in our courts whereby a law-
abiding citizen can go before
a judge and jury and tell the
truth about a case in a calm,
deliberate, unexciteable way. I',
isn’t right that he should be
brow-beaten and intimidated
when he is making every effort
to be truthful and do his duty
as a citizen.”—Leslie A. Coop-
er in San Marcos Record.
