states that "all organised labor" is
given a “cordial invitation to attend
this meeting'* and to participate "in
our deliberations." No intimation is
given in< the call as to the particular
trend the convention will take po-
litically. But last summer when the
Farm-Labor union was preparing to
open its business office here it was
stated then that*the “Farm-Labor
union would stay in the democratic
party, and that it has no bolshevis-
tic tendencies."
-Political Trend
The county agency at this point
has hariled quite a large percentage
o the tennants’ cotton, selling to the
local buyers, but does not seem to
have held very much of the crop.
The F-LU circulars state that no
"dividends will be paid, the only
object being to save money for the
members.
What political trend the organ Ha-
tion is to take, probably will come
out at the Nov. 23rd meeting over
the state.

ROCKDALE, Texas, Nov. IT.—An
organized force which it is believed
by many observers, is destined to
figure largely in the next political
contest in Texas, is the Farm-Labor
union, which seems to be well-
combined ostensibly for the main
purpose of marketing the cotton
grown by its members, of which
there are reported to be more than
100,000 in the state. The lower por-
tion of Milam cpunty has about
500 members.

On account of rains, however,
farmers have been unable to plow
their fields. The heavy rains have
drenched fields in almost every
section of the county and several
days of sunshine will be necessary
before the anti can be plowed after
the rains cease.
"Many farmers do not realise the
seriousness of the handicap caused
by the rain." the farm agent said.

ROCKDALE.’Texas. Nov. IT.—
“That notice which was broadcast
from Rockdale in The American
about the road bond sale, certainly
did get the grapes for us,’* de-
clared County Judge1 Jeff Kemp.
Wednesday. "We had bids pour in
on us from all over the country,
they begining to come wthin the
next 12 hours, and in the next 24
hours we had bids reach us from
•way off cities," the judge asserted
“This gave us such a wide public-
ity that we were thus enabled to
pick and choose amohg the bid-
ders. and made money for the road
district by this fact for when it
became known that there was com-
petition for our road district's
S 100.00O.bonds the bids were bet-
tered considerably. Consequently
we got par and accrued intrest
with a pretty neat premium. h-

One of the best opportunities

county farm demnstration agent,
said yesterday.
Farmers should be plowing now,
in (act they should have been plow-
ing several days ago, the demon-
stration agent said. In order that
the soil might have an opportunity
to regenerate from the substances in
the growing plants, these plants
should now be turned under with
the plow and allowed to remain
under the surface urrtight until
spring planting season. The de-
teriorating plant life would furnish
a stimulant to the soil far better
than any fertilizing material, Davs
said.
