, unanimously passed Friday by the
Orange County Commissioner's
court in a called session, no offi-
cer or employe of the county shall
be authorized to incur any/ex-
pense of any kind or nature that
Will be payable out of the county
treasury by warrant drawn there-
on, until such item of expense

termined and allowed in kind and

County Farmers
Urged to Conserve
Burlap Bags /
Gporge C. Harvey chairman of
the Orange county USDA War
Board is urging all Orange county
farmers to conserve burlap sacks
as a safeguard against a future
shortage. He pointed out the.fact
that almost all burlap has been
imported from India and this
trade has been curtailed drastic-
ally by the war in the Far East.
While our buying of burlap has
decreased our uses, have increas-
ed due to new uses which include
the packaging of foods for the
army and navy, certain chemicals,
and other articles and the many
items shipped abroad under the
Lend - Lease a<jt.
About three - fourths of all burt
lap used in this country has been
used to package commodities
which farmers buy or sell. This
immense amount constituted u~
bout 459 million yards in 1939-
1940.
In an effort to offset the prob-
able shortage of burlap, attempts
are being made to expand pro-
duction of coarse cotton fabrics
as substitutes. Many heavy or-
ders for cotton substitutes ,have
already been made by the many
concerns over the country but all
ftrdprs cannot be filled until the
process has been expandd and
improved.
'•Handling bags more carefully
so they can be used again, re-
turning bags'to dealers for re-
use, and repairing slightly dam-
aged bags are pimctical ways ter-
mers can off-set the shortage,"
Mr .Harvey said.

County General
Fund Totals
$26,385.86
A remarkable record was made
during the past year in handling
of the county finances to put the
county un a cash basis* for the
first time in years, it was revealed
in a check of county records Sat-
urday.
The county now has a total of
$26,385.80 in the general fund, as
compared with a deficit ot
$2,202-20 on January I, 1941, ac-
cord in to records of the county
treasurer. • /
Cooperation of all/county offi-
cials in adhering strictly to a bud-
get a ltd working out a general eco-
nomic plan of operation, was
credited with the jsplendid condi-
tion of the county finances.
In discussing the improvements,
it was pointed out by .county of-
ficials, that the assessed property
valuation for 1941 was not greatly
increased by the vast shipbuilding
program, due to "the fact that most
of the projects were not com-
pleted until sometime during the
year 1941 therefore not assessed
for taxation. Many of the larger

Austin, January 25. — On the
eve of his announcement for re- |
election to the United States Sen- !
ate, W. Lee O'Daniel this week !
narrowly led other possible can- !
didates, but lacked a majority of
Texas voters. Attorney General
Gerald C. Mann, hoving gained
fnore than lfl percentage points
since Lyndon B- Johnson appar-
ently removed himself from the
race by joining "the Navy, was
this month almost as strong as
O'Daniel.
These are the results of a sci-
entific poll of the state completed
by Texas Surveys of Public Opin-
ion last Wednesday, the . day
O'Daniel declared in Washington
that he plann^d-to tie a candidate
again. i
While the former governor' at
the time the poll was conducted
held more votes in his favor than
the 30.6 per Cent plurality that
sent him to the Capitol, neither
has he gained much over the 40
per cent he hud In November,
when the last Survey on the sub-
ject was published. What effect
his announcement has had will be
measured in a new poll to begin
soon.

vey Mann and O'Daniel took 78
per cent of the total, ul| .other to-
gether received 14 per cent, and
8 per cent were undecided.
| Of the lesser probable aspir-
ants to the post of junior senator
former governors Dan Moody and
James V, Allied have been the
most prominently mentioned in
the samplings Texas Surveys has
taken. Johnson last November
polled 22 per cunt. It hus been
assumed in political circles that
he will npt seek the scnatorship;
so he leaves a sizeable group of
voters who will cast ballots for
other men. It is significant to
note that while Mann seems to
have added to his own following
from this pool of votes, O'Dan-
icl's strength has not noticeably
increased,
A separate analysis of each of
the two leuders' block of Votes by
income brackets reveals that the
Attorney General, as he did in
the 1941 senator's j race, still
draws his heaviest support faom
the middle classes, 'while O'Dan-
iel takes the bulk of the poor and

The distribution of ballots (in
urban areas as' compared wi'th
that in rural places shows little

here by James D. Marshall, ser-
ver.v en- rctary of the Orange County Ag-
ricultural Conservation Associa-
tion.
The government will make
uvailuble loans to rice producers
at u rate bused on 85 percent Of
parity, purity price for rice at
this time being approximately
$4.22 per barrel.
No conservation payments in
connection, with rice will be mudc
in connection with, any farm on
which the acreage of rice planted
In 1942 |$ not at least equal to the
1942 rice allotments established
for the farm. The only result of
under planting the rice allotment
on a furm will bet he loss of rice ■
conservation "payments
There will be no reduction in
any payments that otherwise
might be earned on a farm if 'the
acreage planted to, rice is in ex-
cess of the rice allotment. A
producor may plant excess rtCe
on one farm without affecting any
payments to which he might oth-
erwise bfc entitled in connection
with another farm or ranch. Pro*
ducers planting in excess of their
allotments will be eligible' to rice
loans - ' -in-
payments to which a producer
might otherwise be entitled under
the Agricultural Conservation or
Range programs will not be aff-
ected if he lenses land to another
producer to be planted to excess
rice. Rico may be planted in 1942
on a farm having no rice sllot^
menl without affecting any pay-
ments thot might otherwise be <
earned under the program on the ■ '
form.
It is still specified that u pro-
ducer must devote 25 percent of
lils rice crop land to specified
erosion resisting practices in or-
der to qualify toi<- his payment
but failure to comply with this is
the only' .way for a producer to
fall to get his payment as the reg-
lations now point out.
