OLD CULEBRA FILLS
PANAMA
L
Bryan Texas Oct 15 1914.
The Eagle:
In line with the Commercial Club
business men and farming Interest in
the attempt to curtail the production
o frotton Is the marketing of country
produce.
The haphazzard way of disposing of
such products as Is now practiced. Is
very unsatisfactory and a failure es-
pecially would this be so should the
production Increase. Then In icy
opinion It becomes necesssry to pro-
vide means for the farmer to dispose;
of his produce quickly and to the best
advantage; therefore 1 believe It good
policy for the city together with the
Commercial Club to provide a market
place where all produce could be con-
centrated and sold locally or shipped
to oilier markets.
In this way the local consumers
could be supplied from a central point
with fresh vegetables and produce two
or three times weekly. This would
keep money In circulation and encour-
use the raising of varieties of pro-
duce thereby benefitting both farmers
and consumers while under present
conditions this Is not so.
My Idea would be for the city to des-
ignate some certain place say upon
one of the vacant plaias east of the H.
& T. C. depot and In connection with
the Commercial Club construct the
necessary Improvements In order that
these products might be handled to
best advantage.
I w-ould appreciate suggestions on
this line from the citizens In general.
Whatever Is to be done should be done
quickly and rightly.

Meeting at Fort Worth and 700
More are Expected.
Fort Worth Texas Oct. 15. Prob-
able legislation to alleviate the criti-
cal condition of the South'e cotton
farmer and a lively debate as to
whether or not the congress will aban-
don their new constitution and return
to the old were deyited at the first
day's session of he thlrty fouith an-
nual convention of the National Farm-
ers' Congress. The congress convened
here Wednesday morning In the cham-
ber of commerce. Approximately I0
delegates ninny accompanied by their
wives and daughters registered. The
registration Is expected to reach 90
by Friday when the heaviest enroll-
ment Is exiiected. The congress will
be In session Monday.
The South' "predicament as the re-
sult of the practicably unmarketable
cotton was championed by Gov. O. B.
Colquitt and Vice-President E. H.
Stockbridpe of Georgia. Governor
Colquitt declared that unless some-
thing was done to aid the South
through the year. In the marketing of
Its staple. Texas alone which produces
approximately one-third of the entire
cotton crop would lose "00.000ooo.
Governor Coluqitt was subjected to
several questions as to where North-
ern money would go If it were sent
South. The answer was explained by
the Fort Worth Record that If sent te
reliable parties with the exception of
very few rases it would reach the
most needy farmers directly. The Im-
pression In the North it waa explain-
ed was that the farmers would not be
benefitted but the surplus of 4 cents)
of 10 cents per pound paid for cotton
would go Into the hands of specula-
tors and that In reality the farmers
would receive only 6 cents per pound
for their staple.
