Convention Notes
Joe o. Boehmer, secretary of the
convention, looks like W. J. Bryan
and he can make a speech, too. His
speech nominating Eagle Pass for this
years meeting was the hit of the con-
Yention at Alpine last year.
H P. Attwater, first vice president
OF the congress. is here with the Att
water smile and glad hand. No conVen-
ton of Texas farmers would go into
session without Attwater on hand Att
water used to run a museum On Nevarro
street in San Antonio. which was the
delight of the small boy.
Some of the delegates are apparently
dry farmers in reality, and, unlike Al
pine, where they met last year, they
are not denied the privilege of shaking
their thirst at Eagle Pass. The prod
uct that has helped to put San Antonio
in the class with Milwaukee Is found
in plentiful proportions in this border
town.
Good cigars cheap"-minus the tar
if and internal revenue that apply in
this country, are attracting many of
the delegates tomake trips over to Cui.
P. Diaz. The ways of the customs men
are new to many of the visitors and
that man at the bridge is doing a
land office business picking up duti-
able articles.
Sanderson's Meeting.
Sanderson has a delegation here
working up a crowd to attend the meet
ing OF the Southwest Press and Com
mercial association in that place on
September II to Is. Editor Jesse Nc
Kee says it was so dry around Sander
son this year that horned toads was
about the only thing they could raise
without irrigation.
The Del Rio delegates are showing
what irrigation and dry farming can
each do in their part of the state. They
are also a bit excited over the pros
poets for oil in that region Secretary
Fred l. Meyers, Of the Del Rio Com
mercial club, is a live one and like
all the citizens of the town, never lets
slip a chance TO put in a good word for
the town that already has one railroad
and is going to get another in a few
months
District Judge W C. Douglas. OF
Eagle Pass, travelling around over this
section so much to hold court, realizes
the great need Of some system that will
result in the reclamat ton of the vast
area of uncultivated lands and is en-
thusiastic over giving dry farming a
chance.
to Ell Paso, is here with a delegation
and a display.
The country around Eagle Pass and
Del Rio is looking splendid.
Shortage of Rain.
There has been a shortage of rain
around Uvalde. the delegates report,
and they say scientific soil cultivation
has saved numerous fields.
A feature of the meeting is the music
in by some of the leading people of
Eagle Pass-men and women. Every
time it plays. an encore is necessary.
The district courthrQom Tn which
the meetings are held, is decorated in
palms and ferns. Down stairs the dry
farm exhibits are on view.
The citizens of the city are enter
tanning the officers and speakers in
their homes, while delegates are
housed at the hotels.
