COLLEGE STATION, June 14
—Because o f unsettled world
conditions, loans on 1940 wheat
will be made subject to recall
on demand, the Commodity Credit
Corporation has announced.
If no occasion for liquidating
the loans arises, warehouse stor-
age loans will, mature eight months
from the date of execution but
not later than April 30, 1941,
while farm storage loans will
mature ten months from the date
of execution. Interest will be at
the rate of 3 percent instead of
4 percent, last year’s rate, ac-
cording to P. C. Colgin, state
wheat loan supervisor.
No preliminary fee on ware-
house storage loans will be re-
quired, the supervisor explained,
but the loan fee has been raised
from one-fourth to one-half cent
per bushel. The increase was
made necessary since the re-
cording fees on the chattel mort-
gages are to he paid by the coun-
ty AAA offices and since all
wheat loan forms will be executed
in the county offices.
This year, for the first time,
the county AAA offices will
handle the wheat loans from start
to finish, dealing directly with
the Kansas City regional office
of the corporation in order to
speed up the work.
Another innovation in this
year’s loan program is that in-
demnity wheat paid producers on
crop insurance contracts will be
eligible for loans.
A tremendous increase in farm
storage loans is expected, Colgin
said. If the wheat is stored on the
farm, the corporation pays the
producer seven cents per bushel
provided the wheat is stored for
the period of the loan and is de-
livered to the corporation upon
maturity of the loan.

CONSUMPTION
Beef consumption last winter
apparently was about 5 per cent
greater than a year earlier, and
about 21 per cent higher than
the five-year average. There was
little change in veal or lamb con-
sumption as compared to the pre-
ceding winter, although both were
considerably higher than the five-
year average preceding 1934. Lard
consumption gained 15 per cent
over that of the previous winter
and 11 per cent over the five-
year average.
William Murdock of London

together. His impromptu pipes
were used for a gas-lighting sys-
tem for the city.
PROGRAM TO BE RECOMMENDED
COLLEGE STATION, June 14
—Representatives of the federal
and state agricultural agencies
operating in Texas have been in-
vited to assist in the drafting of
recommendations for changes in
the 1941 AAA program at a
meeting in College Station June
14:
Meanwhile, tabulation of the
recommendations sent to the state
office by the community and
county AAA committees is un-
derway so that a complete picture
of the farmers’ wishes in regard
to the program may be present-
ed to the meeting. Questionnaires
were sent to every county in the
state to be answered by county
committees, following recommen-
dations made by farmers in com-
munity meetings.
At the conference in College
Station, the final draft of sug-
gested changes will be drawn up,
George Slaughter, chairman of
the state AAA committee, said.
Conferees will study the com-
piled results of the questionnaires
and will make recommendations
on the basis of the county sug-
gestions.
Texas delegates to the national
AAA conference to be held in
Washington in July will attempt
to get the suggested changes in-
corporated in the AAA program
for 1941.

Cotton Materials
Gain Popularity
COLLEGE STATION, June 14
—Cotton comes into its own this
summer. It has received the covet-
ed nod of those who dictate the
styles and will be the most popu-
lar fabric on the market.
Seersucker has gone ‘high hat'
and, with chambray and ging-
hams, will get most of the fashion-
able play, but voiles, batiste,
chintz and oigandy will also be
favorites.
Plaids and checks are vying
with solid colors for first place in
popularity.
i'he increasingly large part cot-
ton is playing in the women's
shops of America is due largely
to new processes which prevent
undue fading and to special finish-
es which make the materials keep
that ‘new’ look indefinitely.
Cotton will not only be stylish
but, points out Mrs. Dora Barnes,
doming specialist of the Texas
A. and M. Extension Service, it
is the most practical and durable
of all summer materials, and there
are weaves to fit every procket
book.

Dairymen Obligated
To Their Consumers
COLLEGE STATION, June 14
—The designation of June as Na-
tional Dairy Month brings out
the point that dairymen have an
obligation to consumers of daily
products.
“The idea back of the procla-
mation, of course, is to increase
milk consumption,” E. R. Eudaly,
dairyman of the Texas A. and M.
Extension Service, has pointed
out in a letter to dairymen and
county agricultural agents. “I
would like to add that the whole
aim and object of any dairy pro-
gram should be the production of
good quality milk.”
On Jan. 1. 1940. there were
25,534,000 milk cows on United
States farms, with 5,533,000 heif-
ers coming on. That is an increase
of 246,000 cows and 308,000
heifers over totals of a year ago.
“If all the people in the Uni-
ted States used as much milk and
milk products as recommended
for an adequate .diet there would
be a shortage of milk instead of
a surplus,” Eudaly added.
One pound of steel can be made
into 1400 safety razor blades.
AGENT ATTENDS MEET
Miss Pauline Hargrove, county
home demonstration agent, will
attend a district meeting today at
Seymour and spend the week-end
at Lake Kemp at an escampment
of district agents.

WICHITA FALLS, June 14—
“Concentration of shelterbelts now
are developing in 32 counties in
northwest Texas,” said W. E.
Webb, State Director of
Prairie States Forestry Project,
recently. Wheeler. Cottle, Hall,
Collingsworth, Donley, Wilbarger,
Childress and Motley counties
have well over 1,000 miles of tree
belts planted during the past five
years. Wheeler county alone has
over 350 miles of shelterbelts.
Mr. Webb declared that con-
centrations of ti'ee belts are im-
portant in developing farm, and
particularly community, stability;
this is accomplished by reducing
sand blowing and the effect of
burning by the hot summer winds.
This is one of the big reasons for
concentrating tree planting in the
older areas instead of expanding
into new areas. The greater the
number of shelterbelts in an area,
the greater the protection given
to the farms.
This year a considerable num-
ber of intermediate or narrower
three to five row belts were plant-
ed to augment the wider ten row
multiple use belts. The wider belts
are usually planted a half mile
apart and the narrower belts are
used as fill-in to provide complete
protection to the farm and com-
munity. Wolf Flat in Motley coun-
ty, Dunlap in Cottle county, Pak-
an in Wheeler county are a few
areas where maximum protection
is becoming possiol
of shelterblet concentrations,

Mr. Webb also said that ap-
plications for shelterbelts to be
planted next winter are being ac-
cepted by all county agents as
well as at shelterbelt offices.
DRUNK FINED
A Paducah man was fined $1
and cost, totaling $14, in Justice
of the Peace W. F. Wimberly’s
court Monday. The defendant was
arrested at the week-end by Con-
stable Tom Long.
The average horsepower of all
the new can registered during
1939 was 90.
"Just like a man—with his superior air—he’d
keep telling me any gasoline is the same as
any other. But I argued there couldn’t be
much to lose, as long as they give you the
Conoco Mile-Dial perfectly free.
"They certainly wouldn’t tease you to take
a thing that strictly counts up the mileage
from their own gasoline, unless they’re awfully
sure of themselves. So I steered to the first
Conoco station and in half a second the Mile-
Dial was on the dash. Looks smart. Free, too.
"The total mileage on your speedometer
goes on the Mile-Dial, so you know the start
of your test. And you know the amount of
your gasoline, by starting with just a full tank
of Bronz-z-z. Then going along buying your
10 gallons more, or maybe 8, or 15 let’s say,
your Mile-Dial keeps count.
"Let’s look. I’m up to 53 gallons. And...
wait a second... it’s 928 miles since starting
this test of Conoco Bronz-z-z. Now watch this
flip of the Mile-Dial. There!—it says better
than 17'j miles from a gallon of Bronz-z, with
a car this big. And do I hear any pooh-pooh?
"Even Henry won’t say it’s just luck any
more, after all the different driving tests he's
kept doing with this Mile-Dial... Luck? ...
It's just bad luck using mixed breeds of gaso-
line when Conoco Bronz-z-z is game to let
you dial its true mileage. A smaller car like
yours might even beat 17':.
"If you’re a consumer that wants 36 inches
in a yard, and real facts on everything, you
certainly want the true count of mileage from
your open-face Conoco Mile-Dial...”
