inspection every time he has added
several thousand more miles on his

College Station, June 26.— Cooper-
ative marketing, land utilization and
reduction of production costs will
feature the main daily programs of
the twenty-first annual Farmers’
Short Course to be held July 28-Aug.
1 at the A. & M. College of Texas.
F. W. Schillings of Minnesota, mem-
ber of the Federal Farm Board, will
take a leading role in the marketing
discussions and other speakers an-
nounced byH. H. Williamson, vice-
director and state agent of the Ex-
tension Service, include Dr. Gus
Dyer, of Vanderbilt University and
editor of Southern Agriculturalist,
and Mrs. E. E. Davis, of Arlington,
former head of home demonstration
work- in Texas.
Attendance this year is expected
to be around 5,000 Programs for
the various group sessions for wom-
en, girls, men and boys are well on
the way toward completion. Offi-
cials have pointed out that discus-
sions will deal with most phases of
livestock and field crop farming and
with home making subjects.
Directors of farm cooperatives, in
Texas are to be extended especial in-
vitations to meet with Mr. Schillings
on Monday and Tuesday afternoon
during the short course in open
forum discussion of marketing prob-
lems and the work of the Federal
Farm Board. Mr. Schillings will de-
liver two addresses Tuesday, in the
morning and at night.
The main morning programs will
deal with the three-fold idea of solv-
ing the most pressing farm problems
through more efficient marketing,
eliminating price depressing sur-
pluses by converting sub-marginal
land into forests and pastures, and
reducing production costs through
more efficient methods. Limitations
and possibilities of each of these
three avenues of solution are to be
pointed out and the progress along
each in Texas briefly reviewed.

The first bale of cotton for 1930,
was ginned in Rio Grande City Fri-
day night at 11:30 and rushed to
Corpus Christi by car to be offered
there on the cotton exchange. -
The cotton grown in the La Grulla
community by Felipe Solis was gin-
ned by Abney Gin company and the
bale weighed four hundred and for-
‘ty-five pounds.
The bale was auctioned' off at the
New Orleans cotton exchange Tues-
day for $1.50 a pound.
The bale was taken to' Corpus
Christi by G. H. Wilson, Ford deal-
er in a Ford touring car. He was
accompanied by W. H. Braden, vice-
prisident of the Abney Gin Company,
E. J. Guerra and George Marsh,
cashier, respectively, of First State
and First National banks of Rio
Grande City, Pedro Diaz, merchant
and Simon Garza, driver.
The Lynch Davidson Lumber com-
pany announced through Manager
W. H. McGee that it will paint the
residence of the grower, and other
merchants offer premiums. For three
previous years an attempt has been
made to get-the first bale from La
Grulla but in each instance the Starr
county bale has reached the Houston
or Galveston exchange second.
The decision to take the bale to
Corpus Christi was made due to
fact that the cotton buyers for all
large brokers have been there for
several days awaiting the first bale
from, the Valley.

Velvet Smoking Tobaccois
different—different in . aroma,
different in flavor. It is an all
’round tobacco for pipe and cig-
arette—note the cut, just right
for rolling.
Say what you please, there is
nothing that mellows leaf tobacco
like ageing in wooden casks for
two years or more.
If you roll your own, you’ll
find in every tin of Velvet the
makings of about 50 of the
best cigarettes you ever smoked.*
Velvet tobacco is made and
cut just exactly right for rolling.
If you prefer to smoke a pipe,
then here’s a tobacco that hits
the mark.
Test it out for yourself!
