COUNTY AGENT

In a rc.n t report on the number
in operation ot farmers coopera-
tives, Kills county leans in the
number oi cooperatives with 34
f Eight percent of the counties oi
_ Texas contain about 32 per cent oi
ah the cooperatives of Texas. This
means that Ellis County is far u-
head oi other counties in fanner
cooperative moves. Most of tile co-
- operatives In Ellis County are cot-
. ton gins l am not sure the first
• cue was organised in this county,
• but Ilia fit sit out was organised in
the state in 1513. In 1950. there
, were only three cooperatives in
{ Texas 35 yeais old or older There
‘ arc a little less than a thousand
agricultural cooperatives in Texas
, at the present time. The exact
, number changes almost daily be-
cause of new chargers ai d charter
cancellations.
Farm Management
Ellis County Dairy Association
is attempting to assist in organiz-
ing or help sponsor a Farm Man-
agement Association. The organiza-
tion.is only in the planning stage
at the present time, but it is hoped
that many farmers will be interest-
ed i.: keeping a set of records that
will be a heip to them so that they
may be better able to analyze their
own business und to make com-
parisons to other people In this
state and other states as to how
much they ore u* king per dollur
invested or how much they are
making per dollar of feed fed,
what their equipment cost per acre
are and what type of enterprises
fit best together. This isn’t going
to be an easy or miracle road, nor
is it gomg to be fast, but in years
to come it will be of great value
to the people that are interested
in this type of thirg. If your are
interested, contact me or any mem-
ber of the Dairy Association for
mere information,

Washington, D. C.. September 3,
1354 New that the 83rd Congress
lias adjourned, this will be my final
newsletter until the new Congress,
the 84th, convenes on January 5,
1955.
I plan to leave Washington with-
in the next few days for College
Station along with my oldest son,
James, who will enroll in Ills Fresh-
man year ot the A & M College
ot Texas. The rest of my family,
my wife end eight, year old girl
end seventeen year old boy, will
remain in Washington because of
the reopening of the schools here
on September 7.
I do not expect to accept any
speaking engagements during the
short period l am in Texas as I
suppose that you people have heard
sufficient talks by men in political
life. I meiely want to travel
through the District un'd talk with
various people as well as look Into
several matters which have arisen
since 1 was through the District
last year. Further, it is very im-
portant thnt I return to Washing-
ton as I have been appointed to a
Select Committee of the Home of
Representatives, which Cummin.** i
hus been instructed to look iieoj
and Investigate the admlnistnu on j
of the many complex and oveilm»-l
ping laws governing survivors be-1
nefits for dependents of de< •■a,*d I
members and former members oi I
the Armed Forces.
At the present time, several Con. j
mittees in the Congress such ns tlici
Veteran Allairs Committee, the
Armed Service Committee and the
Pas Office and Civil Service Com-
mittee all consider vat iocs types of
legislation which in some wfuy or
onothei affect benefits clue surviv-
ors of deceased members and tor-
mtmbeis ot the Armed Forces At
its best, the present system of be-
nefit payment is a hodge podge ot
laws, one overlapping the other
with survivors eligible to draw be-
nefits from a number of different
funds which has resulted in a dup-
lication of administrative efforts
of the several government agencies
involved in making such payments.
Ir. addition, many survivors ,ure not
receiving what is due them because
of their lack of knowledge of what
i.» due them, and many Members of
Congless in' supporting certuin
legislation are unaware of how
such legislation affects statutes. As
stated before, all of this has been
brought about by the overlapping
of Jurisdiction within the Congress
for this type legislation. Accprding*
ly, the Speaker ol the House, na:ne<|
this Select Committee to lobk into
tills very Important matter.
At the present time, there are
five major survivor benefit prog-
rams in existence. Four of these
programs are administered by dif-
ferent agencies of the Government.
They are as follows:
a. Six months death gratuity:
administered by the Department of
Defense.
