Mrs. J. L. Goode opened her Lodge I Allen, Mrs. J. P. Sharp, Mrs. C. C.
home in Bastrop .Mate Park for the
entertainment of the Elsie Maynarl
Bible Class Friday afternoon.
The guest speaker for the after-
noon was Earl Morris, of the Liquoi
Control Board, He came to the clash
in response to a letter from the class
asking if anything could be done to I
stop the influx of Liquor stores tak-
ing possession of the main street of
the citv. Although he informed the
class that nothing could be done to
stop the inflow, he made the encour-
aging statement that because of the
over-crowding, none of the stores
were showing much of a profit and
for this natural reason, some of
Ahem in time would eliminate them-
selves. According to his observation,
die Package stores were better than
the beer parlors and if they coula
in any way discourage their opening
the class would be doing the soldiers
* service.
Mrs. John Allen, president of the
class then took charge. The
class decided to give $10 for repair*
to the parsonage. The committee

SCHOOL LANDS
OFFEREED FOR SALE
Buscom Giles, Commissioner of th 1
General Land Office, states that the
Public Free School Fund which now
amounts to approximately seventy
three million dollars, will be consid-
erably increased by the «e!!ing of a
large part of the 2.'?0,000 acres o.
laud that is now being offered fo.
sale. This money will be very much
needed since the revenue to the
School Fund will be considerably re-
duced by the loss of revenue from the
gasoline tax which has been brough'
about by the rationing of tires.
When this land is sold and put in-
to private domestic use it will b;
placed upon the tax rolls, thereby in-
creasing the revenue nMt only fo1*
the Public Free School Fund and
School districts but for State and
County taxes as well.
Commissioner Giles further points
out that these lands are sold on one-
fifth down payment together with n
note on the remaining four-fifths nt
the principal bearing 5 percent in-
terest on forty years time, the pay-
ments on the principal being depos-
ited to the Permanent School Fund,
whereas, the interest payments arc-
payable to the Available. 'School Fund
for immediate use. The State remains
one-sixteenth free royalty in all oil
or gas that may be found on these
lands.
Commissioner Giles also states
that these lands offered for sale aiv
of varying types and are located in
120 different counties of the State
A purchaser of said land is not re
quiied to live upon it.
Anyone interested in the purchase
*of these lands may secure, free of
charge, lists giving complete des-
cription and location, together with
application blanks, by writing Bas-
com Giles, Commissioner of the Gen-
eral Land Office, Austin, Texas.

MORE LONG STAPLE COTTON
NEEDED
College Station, March 4— The
Texas UiSDA War Boat d this week
launched a campaign to increase the
production of cotton with a staple
length of one and one-eighth inchis
and over.
First step in the campaign will be
a survey by county USD A War
b< ards to determine the amount of
good seed available for producing the
desired staple lengths. The county
boards will furnish farmers with the
results of the survey, giving sources
f seed, supply, prices and varieties.
In memorandum to the war
boatds outlining the need for more
long staple cotton, Secretary of Agri-
culture Wickard announced a na-
tional uoial of 1.4M7.000 bales, an in-
crease of 652,000 bales over 1941
production.
The Texas USD A War Board inf
its instructions to county boards
pointed out that the increases in
longer staple cotton are to be obtain-
ed within present acreage allot-
ments thiough a shift from short
staple to longer staple production.
At the same time, the board point-
ed out the possibility of a shortage
of the medium staples as a result of
the shift to longer staphs. To off-
set such a shortage, the board will
encourage the planting of more med-
ium staple cotton in those areas
where substantial amounts of 13-10
to 7-8 inch staple are now being pro-
duced.
To encourage these changes in
planting practices, the Commodity
Credit Corporation will increase the
premiums to be offered on longer
staple lengths of all grades and
staples under the 1042 loan program
The premiums are intended to enable
producers to realize the same per
acre return from the longer cottons
which have low yields that they
would have received from the short-
er cottons which generally have
hiirher yields.
