WASHINGTON, July 3.—Farmers
of America had received more than
$200,000,000 in benefit payments up to
May 31, according to John B. Payne,
comptroller of the agricultural ad-
justment administration. The expen-
diture to Texas farmers is more than
$50,000,000 or 25 per cent of the total.
The charge for administrative ex-
penses in all states was nearly $16,4
000.000.
On rental and benefit payments
proper cotton farmers received $120,-
650.528. wheat farmers $68,373,426 to-
bacco farmers $9,523,210 and hog-com
farmers $2,055,233.
In figuring total payments on ac-
count of Texas farmers, amounting to
$50,287,255 there is included $1,247,-
180 as the cost of administration, the
remainder being rental and benefit
payments amounting to $49,040,074. Of
this amount Texas cotton farmers re-
ceived $45,296,099 and wheat farmers
$3,743,975 Government agencies have
pointed out that release of this large
sum to farmers should have the re-
sult of rapidly restoring prosperity.
The price index for farmers as figured
bv financial experts is shown now to
be higher than for months. Govern-
mental payments to Texas have been
about three times that of any other
state.

get a place. They kept the prizes well
in the local territory. Miss Collegeport

fectionery. I drove to one that was
not so well known and consequently
not very busy. I received curb service

time, received service. The young
man who waited on us told us that
he was pinch hitting for the boss who
had gone out for a minute to get a

Another accident happened Tuesday
night on account of stock in Brazoria
County. The absence of this kind of
law in our neighboring county is go-

trouble. We put out Hug-the-Coast

comethrough Bay City. They are not
going to do it however, if they con-

tomobile comes through Brazoria
County it has to run the gamut of a
herd of steers, horses, mules and
plenty of jack asses. This thing, truly
is getting serious. We should implore
upon our neighbor to do something
about letting their stock run wild. It
is costing them plenty of money and
they should by now realize that.

NEW ORLEANS, July 5. - N C.
Williamson, president of the Ameri-
can Cotton Co-operative Association,
announced in a statement that the
association would campaign for full
parity price of 15 cents a pound for
cotton.
The A.C.C.A.’s program, he said,
turns upon the "vital necessity of in-
creasing the buying power of farm-
er by restoring the parity between the
prices of things he has to sell and the
prices of things he buys."
Loan Plan Advocated,
He said this may be accomplished
by a loan of 15 cents, basis middling
seven-eighths inch, with proper prem-
ium and discounts for grade. staple
and location, "thus giving each fann-
er the just value of his cotton wher-
ever located."
Unless the price of cotton advances,
Mr. Williamson's statement said, the
growers will suffer a reduced pur-
chasing power in this year's crop of Tuesday night. Mr. and Mrs. Gray

WASHINGTON, July 3. — Forty-
eight Texas counties in the secondary
drouth area were made eligbilc for
emergency loans to farmers to pur-
chase feed for live stock and for sum-
mer fallowing. Iowa, Nebraska and
other secondary drouth areas cover-
ing parts of seventeen states were
opened to this type of credit by S.
M. Garwood, production credit admin-
istration. Four hundred dollars is the
maximum any one individual may
borrow.
Loans of this type will be made
from the $40,000,000 emergency crop
loan fund appropriated by congress
and should not be confused with the
feed and storage loans which will be
made in the Dakotas and other pri-
mary drouth areas. The feed and
forage loans in the primary drouth
areas wlil be made from the drouth
relief appropriation, which is separ-
ate from the $40,000,000 crop loan fund.
The maximum amount that may be
borrowed in secondary drouth areas
for feed for work stock is $4 per head
per month; for cattle $3, hogs $1 and
sheep and goats 75c each per head.
All loans will be divided in one pay-
ment and may not be made for feed-
ing periods extending beyond Sep-
tember 1, 1934. All loans for feed
for live stock and for summer fallow-
ing must be secured by a first lien
on the live stock fed or the crop fi-
nanced.

A commencement address we did
not hear:
"My young friends, you are going
out into a puzzled world, a world
whose leaders do not know whither
tzey are drifting. What the future has
in store for you I cannot even guess.
Many of you, perhaps, most of you.
will not be able to find jobs. I have
no formula by which you may easily
attain fame and fortune. The world
may call me a success, but I assure
you whatever I have attained has
been entirely by accident.
"My only advice to you is that you
do not emulate the generation I rep-
resent. It was we who muddled into
the present chaos, while all the time
we were spouting optimism about the
permanent era of prosperity. My gen-
eration, unable to govern itself, has
reliquished the reins to dictators in
I most of Europe. Even here in Amer-
ica, we blindly trust a president |
whom we hope can save us, but:
whom we cannot help to find the way. '

AUSTIN, Texas, July 2. A 1934
United States cotton crop of less than
10,000,000 bales is in prospect, accord-
ing to a forecast by Dr. A B. Cox, di-
rector of the University of Texas Bu-
reau of Business Research, Saturday.

Consensus is thav American acre-
age is less than 30,000,00 Oacres this
season and probably is about 28,000,-
000, tlie lowest since 1905," he stated.
"It is generally believed that condi-
tion ot the crop is below normal and
that a crop of less than 10,000,000 bales
is in prospect. This situation is part-
ly offset, at least, by certainty of con-

the paying of $10,000 for 14,000-acre
feet of water as something entirely
out 'tf the ordinary and are featuring
the feat with articles, pictures of the
release of the water and editorials.
