But getting back to the subject
of Ferguson prospects next year.
It is obvious that the Fergusons
have long since lost the tremen-
dous influence they once held in
Texas politics. -Likewise, they
have lost a number of supporters
by death in the passing of the
year, for old-timers were strong
Ferguson backers. Likewise there
has been a new crop of voters com-

(COOKE COUNTY'S FIRST bale
U of 1937 cotton is due in about
two weeks.
And we are wondering why
Gainesville business interests do
not make a greater effort to en-
courage growers to bring their cot-
ton to market here than they have
in recent years. ,
We can remember when the
Chamber of Commerce put on a
spirited advance campaign to raise
money for premiums to induce far-
mers to bring their cotton here, but
i recent years, the ginners have
had to take the lead in raising
premiums for the growers of the
first bales each year, and the con-
tributions have not been represen-
tative of the city’s business inter-
ests. . .
We observe that a neighboring
city, through a Chamber of Com-
merce committee, is to award $150
in prizes to farmers of North
Texas and Southern Oklahoma
during the ginning season. There
will be a cash award of $50 for the
first bale and $35 for the second.
To encourage farmers in continu-
ing to bring their cotton to that
city, cash prizes of $50 and $15
will be awarded on December 1, all
persons who have brought one bale
or more to that city’s market,
sharing in the opportunity to re-
ceive these awards. ‘
It seems to us Gainesville might
be more active in promoting the
city as a cotton market.
