THEME STATES II WET COLUMN IS Ml GOMES TO REPEAL
LUO MEN OUT OF
MUCTION MOST NOT
BE USED TO GROW CROPS
OTHER THIN HOME USE
College Station.—Land rent-
ed by the United States Gov-
ernment in contracts with cot-
ton, wheat and com growers
may not be used directly or in-
directly to grow crops that
may create surpluses in other
lines of production, it was re-
peated again by Dr. J. F. Cox,
chief of the replacement crops
division of the Agri.ultural
Adjustment Administration, in
his talks to county farm and
home demonstration agents at
the annual Extension Service
meeting at Texas A. and M.
College last week.
"Retired acres may be put
to any ’ use that will make
them better productive acres,
or to the production of food
and feed crops for home con-
sumption,’; he said. "They
may be planted to cover crops
for turning under to enrich the
soil or for holding the soil to
check erosion. , They may .be
sown to permanent pastures- in
part or in all,” Dr. Cox con-
tinued, “but after the pasture
is established next year and is
furnishing grazing an equal
number of acres must be re-
tired from' some other part of
the farm. Where a farmer is
not already devoting an acre-
age to the production of food
and feed crops.foT farm con-
sumption these Government
rented acres may be planted
to such crops.
‘If certain home food crops
are not produced on the farm,
surpluses of other crops grown
on retired acres may be ex-
changed for needed food sup-
plies,” he pointed out. “For
example, a farmer and hi3
family may. have more toma-
toes than they need and lack
fruits. They may trade toma-
toes for fruit.
"On the other hand, a farm-
er who signs a contract may
not use the retired or contract-
ed acreage for home food and
feed crops and then turn
around and plant the acres
formerly used for food and
feed to some cash crop or to a
feed crop to be sold through
livestock.
“The whole idea of farm
relief,” Dr. Cox told the Ex-
tension agents, “ia to take 43
million acres of good Ameri-
can farm land oat of produc-
tion for the good of the farm-
er and the Nation. If produc-
tion is merely shifted from
one cash crop to another the
aim of the act is defeated,” he
said. “Vegetable growers for
example, have plenty of
trouble in marketing their
crops without having a lot of
cotton farmers turn to vege-
table growing on land which
the Government has already
rented. It is,” he declared, “a
great cooperative movement
which depends for its success
on the loyalty of farmers in
keeping the letter and the
spirit of the contracts.”

Ratification of the Repeal
Amendment by the thirty-sixth
state will mark the end of na-
tional prohibition, the Vol-
stead Act and the 8.2 Beer
Law on December fifth. Al-
though thirty-seven states have
already voted for repeal, rati-
fication will not be complete
until the formality of the ac-
tion of the state convention of
the thirty-sixth state. Until
that time liquor cannot be
legally sold even in the twenty-
one wet states.
When repeal is effective,
there will be three classifica-
tions of wet or dry states—
twenty-one states without
State-wide prohibition of any
kind, the sixteen states with
state prohibition laws-and the
eleven states with constitution-
al prohibition amendments.
These are shown in the ac-
companying map.
The State conventions of the
thirty-fourth, fifth and sixth
states are called for noon of
December fifth, and repeal
will, become effective a3 soor.
as their votes have been cast.
But since these three states,
Pennsylvania, .Ohio and Utah
are in three different time
belts—Eastern, Central - and
Mountain—the Vote Of Utah
will be the decisive one at
noon. Mountain Time, two o’-
clock Eastern time, or very
shortly thereafter.
In Ehe sixteen states with
State prohibition laws, liquor
sales will become possible only
by the act of their legislatures
repealing or modifying the
existing statutes, whereas in
the eleven states with consti-
tutional prohibition, their con-
stitutional provision must be
repealed before they can Jbe-
come wet.
The. Federal0 Government
will have certain prohibition
responsibilities even after the
twenty-first Amendment be-
comes effective, for the
Amendment prohibits the
transportation or importation
of liquor into dry States, terri-
tories and possessions.
Eleven of the wet states
have new liquor control laws,
five will return to pre-prohibi-
tion laws unless new ones are
adopted and at least three
have commissions preparing
new control laws.
Efforts to prevent the return
of the old-time saloon, to break
up the alliance of the liquor
interest with corrupt politics,
to eliminate the bootlegger
and the speakeasy and to keep
the liquor industry from grow-
ing so strong as to be a social
menace haw occupied the at-
tention of the liquor control
law commissions throughout
the country.
Renewals and new sub-
scriptions to the Times are
coming in right along under
the reduced rate for our an-
nual Christmas Offer. The
publishers appreciate this and
hope that the renewaU may
continue to roll in that we
may keep every name on our
books—an unbroken circle of
members of the Times family.

THK6IMnS
HEALTyPPRECIATlOH
. Austin, Tex., Nov. 22.—The
primary reason for the institu
tion of Thanksgiving Day was
health. We know how Gover-
nor Bradford called together
the people, those few of them
who were left after that terri-
ble first year of death and dis-
ease, to give thanks to God
for all his mercies.
We have come a long way
since that time in the matter
of health, but now one seldom
thinks of Thanksgiving in con-
nection with the health that
we enjoy. Most persons have
been so accustomed to having
these advantages that they are
scarcely given a thought until
sickness makes its appear-
ance.
The State Department of
Health, city and county health
organizations have labored for
years to secure the measure of
health protection that the pub-
lic now enjoys. They give
thanks for the methods that
have helped in the saving of
thousands of lives each year
and look forward to the years
to come for greater service. :
Since the first -Thanksgiv-
ing, the mode of transmission
of many diseases has been dis-
covered and in many instances
the prevention has become
common knowledge. Yellow
fever, plague, and cholera
have practically ceased to
exist. Smallpox, diphtheria,
and typhoid fever can be
eliminated as a cause of death
if a person would have them-
selves and children im-
munized. Malaria and many
other diseases can be control-
led if the public would demand
that this protection be a part
of the every day activities of
the government and practice
what is known in regard to
prevention.
During the past fifty years
the expectation of life has in-
creased about fifteen years.
This means that a baby born
now can be expected to live
fifteen years longer than if he
had been born forty years
ago. We have much more to
be thankful for now than our
Pilgrim forefathers, so let
each in his Thanksgiving,
pledge to assist in furthering
the work being done to im-
prove health conditions
throughout Texas.
