Jimmy was assigned by his
teacher to write a composition
about his origin. He questioned
his mother.
"Mom, where did Grandma
come from ?"
"The stork brought her."
"Well, where did you come
from ?
"The Stork brought me, and you,
too, dear."
So the small modern wrote as
the introduction to his composi-
tion: "There have been no natural
births in our family for three
generations."

The Farmers Home Adminis-
tration emergency loan program
has been extended in Texas for
the 1956 crop year, according to
Walter T. McKay, the agency's
State Director.
McKay stated that authoriza-
tion for the extension was given
by Secretary of Agriculture Ben-
son in keeping with the Depart-
ment of Agriculture's policy of
continuing emergency assistance
measures where necessary.
Under the extension of the pro-
gram, loans will be made through
December 31, 1956. Loans may be
made in all counties in the State
except in the 57 west Texas coun-
ties designated on September 15,
1955, for the Great Plains Special
Credit Program.
During the fiscal year which
ended June 30, 1955, emergency
loans totaling more than $33 mil-
lion were made to Texas farmers
and ranchers. Considering the pro-
longed drought conditions, collec-
tions on these loans are very good,
McKay stated.
Emergency loans are made in
areas where the Secretary of Agri-
culture finds that there is a need
for credit that is not available
from other sources, The need may
be due to the damage done by a
natural disaster, such as drought,
flood or hurricane, or to economic
reasons.
To be eligible for an emergency
loan, a fanner or rancher must be
unable to obtain the credit he
needs from any other source. In
addition, he must be engaged pri-
marily in farming, have suitable
farming experience and reason-
able prospects for success in the
farming operations he plans to
carry on with the loan.
Emergency loans are made to
finance normal operations. Loan
funds can be used to purchase feed,
seed fertilizer, farm and home
supplies; and replacement ma-
chinery and' livestock.
Repayment^' «re scheduled ac-
cording to the borrower's ability
to repay. Ordinarily, loans secured
by liens on chattel property are
scheduled for repayment within
one to five years. Loans for crop
production are due when the crop
is harvested.
Applications 'for emergency
loans are made at the county of-
fice of the Farmers Home Ad-
ministration. The local county
Farmers Home Administration
Committee determines the eligibili-
ty of applicants for these em-
ergency loans. Matagorda County
office is located in the Lewis
Building in Bay City.
Governor Contests
Legality Of
Foreign-Aid
In a speech to a mining group,
Utah's Governor Lee disclosed his
plan of withholding the payment
of his income tax on the contention
that it is unconstitutional for
American taxpayers' money to be
used for the support of foreign
governments. He is hopeful that
his action will bring the constitu-
tional question Wnro tha Federal
Courts.

Referendum For
Farmers Tuesday
The annual cotton marketing
quota referendum will be held
county-wide, and across the na-
tion's cotton growing area Monday,
December 13.
The referendum will determine
if quota penalties will apply dur-
ing the coming year, and also the
cotton price support for the 1956
cotton season.
At least a two-thirds majority
in favor of the program is re-
quired to maintain the marketing
quota program for next years
cotton crop. If the referendum car-
ries by this majority price sup-
port for the 1956 cotton crop will
be between 75 and 90 percent of
parity. Quota penalties will apply
on any excess cotton. If the two-
thirds majority is not obtained
there will be no quota penalties,
but price support would drop to
50 percent of parity.
The polls will open at 8:30 a.m.,
Tuesday at the Palacios City Hall.
