SUPPLYING NEEDY TEXANS
ITU BEEF THIS WINTER
Government Plan* to Buy Six
Million or More Pound* of
Beef From Texas Former*
for Slaughter and Canning
at Central Point* Where
Relief U Most Needed.
College Station.—A “bought
in Texas, used in Texas” plan
for supplying needy Texans
beef this winter has been
worked out by C. Z. Crane of
the Federal Emergency Relief
Corporation, Lawrence West-
brook of the Texas Belief Com-
mission, and the Extension
Service of Texas A. and M.
College. As explained io coun-
ty farm and home demonstra-
tion agents in their annual
meeting here last week it is
planned to buy six million or
more pounds of beef from
Texas farmers for slaughter
and canning at 15 to 20 central
points located in the heart of
areas where relief is most
needed.
Texas is the first and only
state to try out this plan of
supplying its own needy from
its own resources with money
supplied from Federal funds,
Mr. Crane said. If it succeeds
the plan may be used in pur-
chases of butter and eggs and
possibly other food stuffs..
Federal relief authorities
have allocated about $500,000
to Texas for the purchase of
ibeef this winter above regular
requisitions, and this money,
less a small administrative ex-
pense, will be paid Texas
farmers and ranchers for 20,-
000 or more fat cutter cows.
Regular market prices will be
paid but the saving in freight
and commission due to the fact
the slaughtering will be done
in the areas where the cattle
are bought will be given the
producers. Purchases are to
tie distributed as widely as
possible over the state and be-
tween farmers.
Purchases are to be allocated
to counties and experienced
buyers are to be employed to
do the buying. All slaughter-
ing is to be done by commer-
cial killers at points where
there are slaughter and re-
frigeration facilities, and
where there are B. F. C. can-
neries. At some places can-
neries will probably be estab-
lished to save costly transpor-
tation.
The unemployed are to be
given jobs in these canneries
•which are to be supervised by
persons selected by the Ex-
tension Sendee and directed
by home demonstration agents.
County agents are to help in
seeming the supply of cattle.
The cutting of the carcasses
is to be done ‘ho “A. and M.
Way” to facilitate canning, as
shown in thousands of demon-
strations by county agents.
Meat will be canned into
roasts, stew, hamburgers, chili
-and hash.
Another code that might be
enforced from time to time is
tlie criminal code.—Sunshine

Liquid Laxatives
Do You No Harm
Hus dose of t liquid laxative can be
measured. The action caa be con-
trolled. It forms no habit; you need
not take a “double dose” a day or
two later. Nor will a mild liquid
laxative irritate the kidneys.
The right liquid laxative will bring
a perfect movement, and with no
discomfort at the time, or afterward.

Texan* Making Tour of That
Country Find that Swiss
Manufactured Good* Are
Consumed at Home.
(Note: The loiiowing is the
ninth of a series of articles
written especially ft- the
Times by Curtis Vinson, mem-
ber of a group from the Texas
Agricultural & Mechanical
College, making a tour of the
principal cotton centers of the
United States and European
cities.)
By Curtis Vinson
Basel, Switzerland.—While
Switzerland is not of major
rank as a cotton textile coun-
try, conditions observed in the
Swiss trade on the tour of the
group from the Texas A. & M.
College illustrate -ather
forcibly the slump in industry
and the trade stagnal on
caused in European textile cir-
cles by prohibitive internation-
al tariff walls. For conditions
prevailing in Switzerland in
that respect are similar in
large degree to conditions
found elsewhere in Europe.
“All Swiss manufactured
products are now consumed at
home,” a leading cotton mer-
chant of Zurich, the center of
the Swiss cotton textile indus-
try, said, “since our trade
frontiers are closed by prohibi-
tive tariff walls. The capacity
of the Swiss cotton mills is
twice that needed to supply
the domestic demand, conse-
quently the result has been to
effect adversely in a material
way the country’s cotton tex-
tile industry.”
Concerning the American
tariff, this same merchant said:
“The whole of Europe is of the
opinion that the American
tariff wall against European
manufactured goods should
come down. Here in Switzer-
land we have no money but we
do have goods. Textiles, ma-
chinery, watches, cheese,
chocolates are among our ma-
jor exports. But we must have
an outlet for our goods. A11
industries in the country are
suffering. American markets
used to take a lot of Swiss
goods. But we can’t export to
our next door neighbors now.
The tariff walls have hemmed
us in.”
Switzerland uses between
80.000 and 90,000 bales of
raw cotton a year, virtually all
this being bought and sold in
Zurich. Of this the Swiss mills
use about 40,000 bales of
American cotton, 85,000 bales
of Egyptian cotton (an Egyp-
tian bales weighs about one
and a halftimes as much as an
American bale), 7,000 bales of
East Indian cotton and 5,000
bales of sundries.
There are in all about 1,-
400.000 cotton spuming
3pindles in the Swiss mills,
about 800,000 of them being
on Egyptian cotton. Swiss
spindles are reported 30 per
cent to 40 per cent idle and
mills as running at about 50
per cent to 60 per cent of
capacity. Most of the mills
are in private hands and are
small mills for the most part,
being of 10,000 to 50,000
spindles. A mill of 50,000
spindles is considered a large
mill in Switzerland. The spin-
ning area, with Zurich as the
trade center, is in the north-
eastern section of the country,
near the German border.
The silk industry, which also
centers around Zurich—that
is, such of it as is left—reflects
a condition much more pes-
simistic than that found in the
cotton industry. To use the
words of a Zurich merchant,
the silk industry in Switzer-
land is starving to death, 90
oer cent of the silk mills now
being closed. In addition to
slump in exports through tariff
barriers, the silk industry has
been materially effected by
competition of the artificial
silk business.
The linen mills, located
around Bern, the national cap-
ital, and Burgdorf, where the
headquarters of the Swiss
Linen Manufactuers Associa-
i tion is located, are operating
with shortened forces, R. von
Stuerler, advocate of the asso-
ciation with office at Bern,
said. Linen goods exports
have fallen to virtually noth-
ing, he said, the output of the I
linen mills now being disposed
of almost wholly in home mar-
kets. Members in the Swiss
linen manufacturers associa-
tion includes thirty-three firms.
All told, the linen mills have
aboL‘t 2,000 looms.
Much interest was express-
ed ii* cotton textile circles over
the program for agricultural
adjustment in the United
Status, particularly in the plan
as it relates to cotton. In this*
connection, attention was call-
ed to the effect of high prices
on the purchase of American
cotton by foreign spinners.
“The price of cotton must
be low enough on American
cotton or spinners will take
other growths,” a merchant at
Zurich commented. “The
price of cotton will determine
where it is bought. Blending
has made it possible for spin-
ners to substitute low priced
cotton to a considerable ex-
tent. If the American cotton
program drives the price of
American cotton too high, oth-
er cotton growing countries
will profit at the expense of
the American product.”
The growth of Switzerland’s
adverse trade balance in re-
cent years tells in rather a
graphic way the story of the
country's economci condition.
Report from the American
Consulate General at Zurich
points out that in 1929 Swit-
zerland’s adverse trade bal-
ance was $128,000,000. In
1932 it rose to $185,000,000.
In order to offset this as much
as possible and to protect
Swiss industry, the Swiss tariff j
Hu Pantry Valued
at $360, at Cost of
Less Than $14.00
WHarton.—A pantry valued
at $360 with a cost of SP3.75
has been achieved by Mrs. L.
H. Obenhaus, 4-H pantry
demonstrator for the Bonus-
Nedra home demonstration
club in Wharton county. Her
goal for this year was to put
up 900 containers of food to
help her in securing an ade-
quate diet for her family of
six. She has canned a total of
1019 containers, 119 above her
goal, and this extra amount
will be used for company. A
total of 1084 pounds of meat,
sausage, !ard, cheese, peas and
beans have also been cured to
add to the variety of food,
making 114 varieties. All of
this food, with the exception
of part of the fruit, was raised
on their farm. Sixty feet of
shelving at a cost of $1.20 was
added to hold the canned
food, organized in groups to
save time and energy when
using.
Mrs. Obenhaus has hold
750 dozen eggs at an average
price of 10c per dozen, making
a total of $136.60 which was
used to pay expenses of
pantry, buy staple groceries
and to clothe the family. Anxi-
ous to help others to live at
home she has helped 9 non-
club members tan 484 con-
tainers of food.
