SOCIAL CALENDAR
More than 1,000,000 persons In 362
drought-stricken counties of 20
States come under the care of the
American Red Cross in what de-
veloped into the most extensive re-
lief operations in half a century of
ministering to stricken humanity.
Measures to lessen the severity of
the blow inflicted by drought were
taken as early as last September,
when seed was distributed to more
than 58,000 families for the planting
of rye and other pastures, and to
more than 27,000 families for the
planting of kitchen gardens. The
expenditure for this purpose
amounted to $326,800. Green vege-
tables were made available up to
January.
Early In February another Red
Cross garden program got under
way and 507,000 packages of seed
were distributed In 15 States. Quar-
ter-acre plots were planted to beans,
beets, cabbage, carrots, sweet corn,
kale, lettuce, mustard, onions peas,
spinach, squash, tomatoes and tur-
nips. Once again were farm fam-
ilies given the opportunity to par-
ticipate In their own salvation.
A comparatively mild winter con-
tributed to the success of the Spring
and Fall seed campaigns. Many
habitual single-croppers were Intro-
duced to the advantages of kitchen
gardens, balanced cropping and bal-
anced diet. Numerous land-owners
have expressed the opinion that this
constitutes the one apparent bless-
ing to come out of the drought

relief operations successful
| Red Cross feeding was aimed at
adequacy and scientific correctness.
In large numbers of schools, where
children were found to be attend
ing with little or nothing In their
lunch boxes, hot meals were served
a; noon. A typical menu consisted
cf vegetable soup and bread one
lay; thick beef soup or stew with
vegetables another day; cocoa or
milk and cheese, peanut butter, or
Jam sandwiches ,a third day.
In some places where lunches
we re not served in the schools, but
were provided for in the regular
food orders, each family having
school children received extra
staples for school lunches Including
peanut butter, raisins, prunes and
tomatoes. Red Cross nutritionists
instructed mothers In the prepara-
tion of lunches.
County health officers and private
physicians commended the adequacy
of rations procured on orders Issued
by Red Cross chapters. Besides the
usual staples, such as corn meal,
flour, lard, meat, beans and pota-
toes such Items as canned salmon,
cabbage, tomatoes, vegetables and
milk were provided, each order be-
ing adapted to the special needs
of the family from whom It was is-
sued. Where pellagra threatened,

were given.

Moisture Quite Good
While most of Texas has satis-
factory moisture at this time, many
counties in Northwest Texas report
dry top soils, with rain needed be-
fore planting time, which begins in
that region about May 1 and con-
tinues Into June.
Some East Texas counties, owing
to oil excitement, report farmers
well behind with their field work
and a large acreage which will He

It Is too early to reach conclu-
sions as to cotton insect infesta-
tion, but at College Station the boll
weevil emergence in March was 2.12
per cent, almost equal to the record
at that point. But, due to a sum-
mer drouth and an early fall, few-
er weevils went into hibernation in
the upper half of Texas. The State
entomologist reports that the cotton
flea hopper may be a menace es-
pecially in Central and East Texas,
due to an abundance of eggs laid
last fall on weed host plants and
likely to hatch later In the season.

Providing farmers’ intentions to
plant are carried out, Texas cotton
acreage this season will show a de-
crease of approximately 11.8 per
cent, froig last season, according to
a State-wide survey by The Dallas
News in its first cotton report for
1931. Because The News’ acreage
report appears very early in the
season It is possible for conditions
to arise which may change the pres-
ent Indications greatly, since the
farmers often plant cotton as a last
resort wihen they believe It to be too
late for other crops.
Last year The Dallas News' Texas
cotton acreage reduction figure was
4.9 per cent Which later was borne
out by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture's estimate of 4
per cent. Acreage percentage fig-
ures represent a weighted average
for all counties in accordance with
previous acreage figures.
lias Poor Start
The g re a-i test decrease is in East
Texas, with 15.5 per cent, followed
by Northeast with 15, Northwest
with 14.7, West-Central with 12.5,
South with 10.7, North with 10, East
with 9, Southeast with 7 and West
Texas with 6 per cent.
The Texas cotton season is not
starting off auspctously. Owing to
very cool weather, cold soils and wet,
weedy fields, 122 Texas counties out
of about 210 raising cotton report
no planting to date. Last year for
the same week eighty counties re-
ported no planting. The season is
from two to three weeks late in
most of Texas, with present condi-
tions not favorable.
Last year at this time North and
Northwest Texas experienced tem-
peratures of 90 to 100 degrees; this
year the Plains report lows of 26
to 32 and most of the cotton areas
as too cool for planting or germi-
nation of seed. The mild, wet win-
ter encouraged an unusual growth
of weeds and grass .Interfering with
proper field work. Furthermore, re-
ports from South Texas state that,
owing to severely restrited credit,
farmers In many instances are com-
pelled to plant land not properly
plowed. Some counties report cot-
ton being planted on land which
has not been bedded, merely disked
and planted flat, thus Inviting wa-
