which is planning broad changes in
its program.
Such strokes of nature as the
drought are helping re-shape the farm
administration campaign. Emphasis is
on a process of evolution, and the
program next year is expected to call
for:
1. Abandonment of control over
livestock production.
2. One reduction contract to cover
all feed grains named in the agricu-1
tural adjustment act.
3. Continuation of the wheat and
cotton reduction programs, allowing
increased production over this year's
figures.
■ 4. A plan for storing grain on farms,
" possibly under government seal. Loans
might be made on this grain, similar
to this year’s corn loans.
, 5. Possibly a broad milk program
" for the eastern area. Many milk mar-
keting agreements would be syn-
chronized into one adjustment plan.
Surpluses Disappear.
a Curtailing of livestock, is to be
abandoned, officials said, in the belief
that regulation of the feed supplies
will automatically control raising of
animals, since the two are closely
linked.
. Surpluses of livestock will be al-
most eliminated this year, they feel.
A pig survey of June 1 showed a re-
duction of about 27 per cent. Plans of
the drought relief service call for
buying about 5,000,000 cattle and 5,-
000,000 sheep.
I The group contract for feed grains,
now being drafted, would call for
" limitation of corn, rye, barley and
grain sorghums. It would be the first
I step toward a wider plan to bring all
■ crops under a blanket curtailment
" contract drafted for the individual
I farm.
Feed grains are, however, mostly
! consumed on the farm where grown
I or in areas nearby, indicating that
processing taxes levied on them would
yield little revenue. Officials were
, therefore casting about for some oth-
I er method of raising money to fi-
I nance the feed gain program.
I Cotton Yield Low.
■ Prospects now indicate a yield of
about 500,000,000 bushels of wheat this
T year and an expected reduction in
the carry-over from the present 260,-
000,000 bushels to about 125,000,000.
There is a desire to increase the car-
ry over to about 200,000,000 bushels in
1935 to assure safe supplies. All these
factors foreshadow relaxation of the
present 15 per cent production cut.
Similarly cotton requirements next
year will call for production of about
13,000,000 bales, compared with an ex-
pected crop this year of about 10,-
000,000 bales. Normal domestic de-
mand probably will reduce the car-
ryover to a normal of about 6,000,000
bales and necessitate increasing next
years’ plantings to about 35.000,000
acres, compared to this year’s 25,000,-
000.
Secretary Wallace has proposed
“ever-normal granaries" with sur-
plus products stored in cribs and bins
on the farm where grown. Federal
loans might be made to assist farm-
ers in carrying such supplies. The
grain could be put on the market as
needed when prices were sufficiently
high. Officials say this plan would
cut price fluctuations about in half.
The Tribune is indebted to Mrs. Co-
ra B Moore for a table of cotton pri-
ces, and numbers of bales of cotton
produced annually since 1791 It has
to do with the United States crops,
only:
This interesting compilation was
taken from a defunct Bohemian pa-
per published many years ago and
was compiled by Mr. Emil Christ, of
Weimar, and furnished Mrs. Moore by
Editor John H. Brooks, of the Wei-
mar Mercury.
It is said all the figures are accur-
ate. If any reader is interested in
preserving such valuable educational
statistics we suggest the table be cut
out and laid away.
It follows:
Upon instructions embraced in a
resolution passed by the Texas Relief
Commission June 27, 1934. notice is
hereby given to Ute effect that per-
sons physically able to work who are
of ered employment at the prevailing
wage scale in the locality wherein the
work is to be performed and who re-
fuse to accept without good cause,

A comparison of the ratio of Ute
final returns in favor of Roosevelt's
acts and policies with the popular
vote ratio he received officially in
1932, indicates that he has increased
his strength 3.83 per cent since his
election.
The voters in the poll were asked
to indicate for whom they voted in
1932. 459,338 of the poll voters indi-
cate that they have changed their
minds about Roosevelt since his elec-
tion. An analysis of this switching
shows an average gain for Roosevelt
in the forty-eight states of 5.39 per
cent.
The same analysis indicates that
Roosevelt has incurred net losses of
support among the voters in this New
Deal in twenty states and net gains
in the other twenty-eight states since
1932.
“the ratio of ‘Yes’ ballots for the
president lias increased in 15 states.

(Palacios Beacon.)
Palacios had another grand Fourth
of July celebration and while the
crowd was not as large as we have
had, yet there were throngs of peo-
ple here from all sections and many
inland towns were represented by
large delegations. The twenty-one
piece band from De Costa furnished
inspiring music throughout the day.
The parade started on time and was
pronounced the best ever staged here,
two ball games furnished entertain-
ment for the ball fans, rodeo and
horse racing gave a lot of entertain-
ment for those who enjoy that form
of amusement and the Queen The-
ater with an excellent picture, was
open for afternoon matinee and night
shows. The Bathing Beauty Revue
with eight entrants was the drawing
card for the day and long before the
hour the lawn in front of Hotel Pa-
lacios where the platform on which
the review was staged was a seeth-
ing mob of spectators, and the crowd
remained until after the announce-
ment of the judges was made on the
pavilion that night.

the cool breezse blew was covered
with pleasure seekers throughout the
day and the dance beginning at 9 o'-
clock with music furnished by the
Southerners closed the day’s festivi-
ties.
The weather was ideal, the crowd
in good humor and no accidents mar-
red the pleasure of the day.
The parade made up of decorated
floats, introducing enough comic to
make it one of laughter as well as at-
tractive, was led by Marshal Barnett
and Pete Williams on horseback and
R. T. Phillips on foot with his mega-
phone announcing the program of the
day. The band followed with city of-
ficials in a car behind, and then came
the floats, the following business
houses being represented: City Drug
Store, Fancy Celaners, Buff's Groc-
ery, Nester Drug Co., Muriel’s Nov-
elty Shop, Palacios State Bank and
Trust Co., Price Lumber Co., Golden
Rule Grocery, Bay Chevrolet Co.,
Queen Theater, Feather and Son,
Crawford Packing Co., Bayside Beau-
ty Shop, Texas Service Station, Mag-
nolia Service Station. Field's Tailor
Shop. Hart Cafe, E. E. Burton Feed
Store. Quality Meat Market, The
Howdy Rodeo, Baby Girl Reserves,
and the Bathing Beauties. Each one
deserved special mention but time
and space forbid, but the one of the
First State Bank and Miss Palacios
were really very attractive, and the
only regret is that the big crowd was
not here to see the parade.
As above stated the Bathing Beauty
Revue was the great attraction and in
this. Miss Gertrude Hunt of College-
port. won first place, Miss Laura Pe-
terson as Miss Palacios second place
and Miss Opal Phillips of Sargent,
third place. Other contestants were
Mrs. Odell McClain of Bay City, Miss
Dorothy Whitesides of El Campo, Miss
Bernice Williams of Blessing, Miss
Senkyrik, Markham and Miss Johns-
ton of Victoria. The judges were from
out of town and their selections seem-
ed to be very satisfactory with the
crowd. Cash prizes were given the
winners first $25, second $15 and third
$10.
The young ladies and their chaper-
ones were entertained with noon
luncheon at the library by the com-
mittee of local ladies representing
the Chamber of Commerce.

The larger losses are tallied in the The Literary Digest poll.
South and in the agricultural sections "And of those who voted in the
1932 election for Roosevelt, 183,782 now
vote "No’ on the Roosevelt policies.
"On basis of those figures Roose-
velt now shows a net gain of 91,774
or 5.39 per cent of the current Liter-
ary Digest poll voters who cast a
ballot in the 1932 presidential elec-
tion.
"The same analysis indicates that
Roosevelt has incurred net losses of
support among current Literary Di-
gest poll voters in twenty states, and
net gains in the other twenty-eight
states, since 1932.
“In the six special polls that The
while the larger gains are noted in
the New England and eastern indus-
trial states and those on the Pacific
Coast. The greatest switch from
Roosevelt is shown in South Carolina
and the greatest switch to him, over
14 per cent in California.
In the six special polls that The
Literary Digest conducted among
bankers, clergy, business men, edu-
cators, lawyers and physicians, all
groups vote in favor of Roosevelt's
acts and policies except tne bankers.
The bankers vote 13,795 to 12,528
against the New Deal.
Of the 24,859 votes received from
the ministers of the nation, 13,513, or
54.356 per cent, mark their ballots in
favor of Roosevelt's acts and policies
“on the whole.”
The poll of the business men shows
56.23 per cent of the 54,688 voting as in
favor of the New Deal.
67,20 per cent of the 13,953 educa-
tors. 53.19 per cent of the 34.695 law-
yers and 56.83 per cent of the 43,728
Literary Digest conducted among
bankers, the clergy, business men,
educators, lawyers and physicians as
a group the bankers still stand alone
in giving Roosevelt a 47.59 per cent
majority ratio of approval.
"In tlie other five groups 54.36 pre
cent of the clergy voted ‘Yes’; 56.23
per cent of the business men; 56.83
per cent of the physicians; 53.19 per
cent of the lawyers; and 67.20 per cent
physicians forwarding "straw" bal-of the educators all voted ‘Yes’ in
lots also vote in support of the New I approval of the Roosevelt policies.
Deal.The New Deal won majorities with
the bankers in only seventeen states,
among the lawyers in twenty-four
states, among the clergy in thirty-five
states and among the physicians in
thirty-five states. The educators ini
every one of the forty-eight states
and in the District of Columbia re-
turned majorities of ‘Yes’ balots.
"Hand in hand with the educators,
undergraduates among the seventeen
colleges have returned a high ratio
of approval for the New Deal. An
analysis of the ballots in this special
Literary Digest-College newspaper
poll based on the answers to the
question, "how did you vote in 1932?"
shows that Hoover carried thirteen of
the seventeen colleges. Today, the
Roosevelt policies have ‘carried’ all
seventeen of those colleges.
"Of the undergraduate poll voters
who voted in the 1932 presidential el-
ection 6685 voted for Roosevelt in
1932, mid 8980 voted for Hoover. In
the current Literary Digest-College
newspaper poll, 16,293 undergradu-
ates vote ‘Yes’ on the Roosevelt poli-
cies 9025 vote. No.’ That reversal
gives Roosevelt a favorable ratio of
64.35 per cent in the final report on
the seventeen colleges 2.85 per cent
behind the favorable ratio returned
by the educators.
"In 1932 The Literary Digest presi-
dential poll proved to be 98 65 per cent
accurate in forecasting Roosevelt’s
popular vote.
"Now, in 1934, the Literary Digest
poll on the ‘acts and policies of
Roosevelt's first year’ has been com-
pleted and the returns indicate:
“The president receives a vote of
confidence from more than 3 out of 5
of the 1,772,163 Americans who have
returned ballots in the current Liter-
ary Digest poll.
"Further, The Literary Digest poll
hr revealed the trend, the shift
among those voters in the current
Literary Digest poll who have
changed their minds about the Roose-
velt policies since they cast their bal-
lots in the presidential election of
1932."
