The weevil has already swept over
Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Ar

II did not require the presence of
Barrett and Rhodes to awaken inter
est in the Farmers Union in Screver
County, as the farmers appear to he
fully alive to the advantages Of the
rganiZation.
The farmers of Georgia believe in
Charlie Barrett and love him. He is
one Of them. No Governor ever met
With a greater reception than did
Barrett on his arrival in Sylvania
Crowds were gathered at the station
when the train arrived, and the march
to the hotel was impeded the entire
distance by rugged, honest, good old
farmers who We're determined to meet
and shake hands with their presi-
dent.
Rhodes Wins Hearers.
After the masterfu address OF
Chairman Rhodes he was next in
popularity to President Barrett. A
big, whole-souled farmer, talking tc
brother farmers, Rhodes hit true to
the spot with every woodland he is
an orator, too. For more than an
hour he fired volleys of truths and
advice to the farmers that won them
every one.
President H. c. Evans and Secre-
tary D. b. Newton, of the Screven
County Union, were about the busiest
pair in Sylvania in many moons. But
they are rejoicing in the fact that
their union and SCreven County are
receiving praises from the national
president and the chairman Of the
national board of directors on the
splendid work they have done.
The impression prevails in Syl-
yania to-day that after this rally
there will not be a half dozen farm
ers in Screven County out Of the
union in a month.

Texas Bankers Are
To Aid the Farmers

FORT WORTH. TEXAS, July g.
Peter Radford, president of the Texas
Farmers Union, in a public state
ment says:
In Texas cotton is the money crop,
and the problem of marketing it intel
ligently has absorbed the attention OF
the leaders of economic thought for
half a century. The crop is ofttimes
mortgaged. and debt is such hard
taskmaster that the farmer, in order
to escape it, rushes to the market with
his products and down goes the price.
ITO relieve the pressure the bankers
are advancing the farmers $35 a bale
at 6 per cent. payable when the cotton
is sold. The title to the cotton rests
with the farmer and he can sell when
he pleases, and there is no longer &C.
casion for disposing of his crop on d
weak or gIutted market.

Senator believes this belt would save
the States to the east of it from the

According to investigation, the mar

urges where a barrier might be raised,
would be in Alabama, between the
mountains near the Tennessee line
and the gulf. This would be $50 miles
long and so miles wide.
Senator Smiths plan is to have the
Federal Government compensate the
farmers in this zone for not planting
cotton. He yesterday consulted Sen
ator Kern, the Democratic leader, and
won his approval of feasible plan.

EACH k. md \. STUDENT
COSTS SIlIE s74Gl
Murray Painted GIommy Picture OF
Visit by COMMITTEES to Col

4 AusIln, IeXas, reD. lo.-oeHdlOr
Taylor of the subcommittee which Wis
tied A. and NJ. College said that in
his opinion the State is paying too
much for the support of the college in
proportion to the benefits received.
His understanding was that the school
is costing the State s740 year for
each student enrolled, and that in ad-
dition the students pay $500 apiece for
their living and personal expenses,
and to this must be added the consid-
cradle annual sum given by the Fed
eral Government. The State Univer-
sity costs the State less than $500 for
each resident student enrolled, and
the Senator was inclined to believe
that this too much.
Senator Murray declared that the
scene which met the committees gaze
at the Agricultural and Mechanical
College was a very dreary one. This
was in large part due to events over
which no one had control.
The buildings were scorched, there
were no sidewalks and the campus
was deep in mud.
Conditions Are Bad.
The Senator was asked if physical
conditions at the college were equal
to those at the penitentiary. 81 only
wish they were half as good" he re-
piled.
The living quarters are old and not
capable of being well kept, he said,
though they are worse than there is
any need for them to be. The same
remark applies to the entire institu-
tion, he said.
So far as he expressed himself, Sen
ator Murray rested the principal
blame for the discord between faculty
and students not on the faculty or the
students, but on the isolated, unat-
tractive location. With no place to go
and nothing in particular to see or
enjoy, it is the most natural thing in
the world, it was declared, for the
students to indulge in rowyism or de-
structive vandalism. 1t is the only
outlet that their pentup energies have.
Men would do the same thing under
the same circumstances, and even a
student body of girls would be guilty
OF similar things.
Asked if he thought further in
vestigation was advisable, Senator
Murray said that he thought the COM
mittee already knows as much as it
need know. He gave no hint of what
the recommendations of the sub-oom-
mittee would be, and stated that, in
fact, the members had not discussed
this subject among themselves.
Nugent Lost Grip.
There is doubt, the Senator went on
to say, whether the testimony taken
at College Station and the documents
collected there, will ever reach Austin
to be digested by the committeeman.
They were in Senator Nugent's grip
sack and the gripsack became sepa-
rated from the Senator 1t happened
in this wise, Murray explained. The

lege Station to Huntsville by freight
trains, mixed trains and other modes
of travel. On their arrival they found

Taylor said that while he does not

as respects its discipline and manage
ment, he is inclined to uphold the fac

ion that no great amount of vigilance
had been exercised in the past in the
effort to suppress hazing, and that the
expulsion of twenty-odd boys for this
offense was in part due to the receipt
of warning from the Governor that
hazing must be suppressed if the
school expected to share in the appro-
priations.
