Agri Chief To
Sign In Protest
SAX m:\lTO, Tex., 'L-R —-For
met- State Commis.-.ioiii'r of Ag-
riculture J. K. McDonald, now
farming at San Ben to it
neieis to valley farmers that they
• cn their cotton planing |n'ie ,
with the notation "signed in pro
test."
McDonald says, adding those
words might save the farnu r.
money and that anyone is priv-
ih ge.l to .sign any government re-
gulatory document under protest—
and that it often saves money and
embarrassment.
McDonald's observation is prom-
pted by a suit pending in 92nd
Uiatrict Court in Kd in burg in
which 17 valley farmers, including
a son of McDonald's, are seeking
to force a cancellation of an agree-
ment between present Agricullun
Commissioner John 0. White and
the Valley Farm Bureau. The 17
farmers claim a Harlingen bank
will handle escrow money for the
pink bollworm control program f«n-
4 cents a bale, that White agreed
to give the farm bureau 10 cents.
In testimony at an injunction
hearing a mouih ago—at which an
injunction was denied—White said
with the In cents funds would be
pro\ idi d to hire inspectors to see
that cotton stalks art destroyed.
Destruction of stalks are part of
the pink bollworm control program
with each fanner putting up $ln
a bale until inspectors have certi-
fied he has destioyed his stalks.
The handling of the {in a bale
between ginning and time of de-
struction is the point of the con-
troversy. Itefoi e planting, a Lower
Rio (iiaiide valley farmer must
first get a permit and it is thai
applieation which McDonald ad-
vises l>e signed under protest.

Tex a.; is the only statv which

tackle this situation during the

"We've been discussing organiz-

ped with a fine exhibition of what
we have in raw materials and mar-
ket potential to be sent to north-

"In the past 30 days 20 financial
companies in the north have asked
us for survey pamphlets on the
de\ lopmeiit and uses of grain sur-
glmni in West Texas. We think
the time has come to take positive
action," the WTCC general man-
ager said.
In his introductory remarks,
Keliey stated that the population
in a radius of 2t i miles of Abilene
has increased more radically than
in any portion of the country. This
area has the lowest illiteracy and
t!ie highest intelligence rating of
any com pa able area any where in
the world, he said.
"If this is true, we might be

can lead the rest of the nation
o it of its present bad way of
thinking," Keliey said.

THE DESERT ROSE
Inspired by the alluring wild
piimrose of California Deserts,
ibis Franciscan pattern lias it£
own special charm. The emboss-
ed motif is hand decorated by
master craftsmen in under-glaze
colars that make it look excit-
ingly real. The pinks and
greens, skilfully arranged in a
delightful design, are further
cnrichcd by the creamy back-
ground. Available in 16-piece
starter sets. Desert Rose pat-
tern is extremely resistant to
chipping or cri c!;ing . . . and.
because it is Franciscan, it will
never craze.
