Although the Farmers Union
is now stronger in many other
agricultural states than it is in
Texas, it got its start at Point,
Texas, in 1902. The first presi-

headed the organization for 23

The first pastor called was
Pastor Wm. Pfenning, who serv-

school during the week. He
served from 1870 to 1875. Dur-
ing his pastorage the first par-
sonage was built-and was dedi-
cated September 18, 1871. This
parsonage served well as the
home of nine pastors for 47
years.
When the first church was
destroyed in 1900, the congrega-

build a new one and it was dedi-
cated January 27, 1901. This
church building is still used to-
day. It is in good repair, which
proves that it was well built.
During the annual meeting on
January 7, 1918, the congrega-
tion decided to build a new par-
sonage to replace the one that
served them for 47 years. On
April 1, the building was start-

Will's vision did not turn out the

And the vision still need not be

A Thousand Thanks
Every week I feel a strong
sense of gratitude for the fine
people who serve as correspon-
dents for the -Banner-Press. All
of them do a fine job of report-
ing, and all of them know that
somewhere a mistake will be
made and they will probably
catch the brickbat, whether it is
a name spelled wrong, or t h e
news isn't published as soon as
Notices of individual farm
acreage allotments for the 1963
cotton crop are now being mail-
ed t o farmers i n Washington
County according to Otto E. Jan-
ner, chairman, Agricultural Sta-
bilization and Conservation
County Committee.
Washington County has been
alloted a total of 23,118 acres
available for allotment to grow-
ers on which to grow their cot-
ton crop during 1963, Janner
said.
This represents the county s
share of the National allotment
acreage of 16,250,000 acres, The
county allotment in 1962 was 26,-
126 acres and the National was
18,101,718 acres.
"Although t h e county allot-
ment will be less this year,
growers will have a good chance
of obtaining additional acres
from those turned back by pro-
ducers that will not plant,” he
said. The chairman urges all
growers to check with the local
ASCS Office for the necessary
forms for releasing and request-
ing acres.
In 1962, the county turned
back 6,903 acres but only 1,997
acres were taken up by Wash-
ington County growers. The bal-
ance was turned over tothe
