FROM TEXAS FARM BUREAU PUB.
LICITY DEPARTMENT..

Dallas, Texas, Dec. 23~-what is
probably he biggest cooperative
marketing plan in the United States
| if not in the whole world, has been
launched in Dallas this month by
the Committee of Fl" of the Texas
Bureau Federation which convened
for the purpose Of making a plan to
sell cotton for Texas farmers.
One million bales is the goal set
for the first years operation. The
amount of money involved in the
sale of this cotton is variously es-
timated at from seventy five Millions
to one hundred and fit million dol
lars. It is planned to present a
contract to members of the Texas
Farm Bureau Federation and to cot
ton growers not eligible to the Texas
Farm Bureau Federation. This con-
tract provides that all the crops of
the man. signing it shall be placed in
the million bale pool and sold by
the farmers own cooperative market
ing association.
An examination OF Texas law led
members OF the Committee of 21'
to see that it is necessary to change
the law of Texas to enable cotton
growers to cooperate in the same
manner the California farmers do.
The text Of the law has been pre-
pared and will be presented to the
state legislature as soon as possible
Mr.. Aaron Sapiro. Attorney for

California met with the Texas com
mittee and cave the benefit Of his
experience with cooperative market
ing organizations in California. He
told the committee that the market
ing organization must be by the COM
modify, composed only of farmers.
must be large enough to be a factor
in the market and must take no
chances on the contract between the
marketing association and the grow
ers.
Sapiro contrasted the prosperous
condition Of California farmers at
the present time with the deplorabIe
state that farmers of other parts
Of the country have found themselves

BERGER AS A REPUBLICAN

Victor Berger's statement in
New York that captains Of in
dustry working for the govern
ment at a dollar year stole
half of the $50, 900, 900, 900 this
country spent in the war;" will
create a sickening suspicion in
some quarters that the republi-
cans of the House of Representa-
tives may yet hail him as a long
lost brother.
When this Congress first as
sembled, the leaders of the ma
jority party had two fixed ideas,
one being the rejection of any
treaty of peace the president
might negotiate and the other
the conviction that the treasury
had been looted by the negli-
gence if not the connivance of
the administration. The BUSH
whacking of the treaty was left
to Senator Lodge and his round
robiners, but the duty of estab-
fishing the other part of the pro-
gram was conferred upon count
less committees of both Houses.
While all of these investigators
started out buoyantly, most of
them adjourned sine die a long
time ago.
But your true partisan never
forgets and never learns. and so
it is reasonable to expect that
the cocksureness of Berger, re-
Gently the outcast, will revive
the old spirit of defamation.
With such extreme views as to
the criminality of the men who
helped conduct the war, he might
even aspire to republican leader
ship il only he were clever
enough to introduce his ISLANDERS
with the claim that he is 100
per cent American. New York

GET BEHIND THE SPORTS

The success of the Stafford
Athletic Association will'mean a
great deal for the future athletic
development of our boys and
girls, and it would seem that the
people here should enter more
enthusiastically in promoting the
athletic associations proposition
to train the boys and girls in ex-
ercises that mean good health
and strong and vigorous bodies.
There is no better athletic sport
for young men than boxing.
There will be no molly-coddles
in this town and valley if our
boys are trained properly in the
manly art" 1t is also good
for older men and will give them
the pep that they need for
vigorous ola age.
Basket ball is a splendid exer-
cising sport, so is base ball, foot
ball, foot races and every form of
athletics that help build up the
muscles and put ambition in the
hearts of the boys and girls.
Let US have plenty of these
sports and this we can best ac-
complish by getting behind the

Diversified Farming
Gaining In Arizona

Nogales. Ariz.. June 21.-Farmers
in the Yaqui river district of Sonora
are going in heavily for diversified
agriculture, planting large crops of
wheat. rice and corn, whereas here
tofore they devoted themselves al
most exclusively to the productions Of
garbanzps, according to Americans
who returned from that section.
This, it is claimed, does not mean
that the garbanzo. crop will be ma
terially decreased. but that the farm
ers will be sure Of crop that will
make a profitable yield and be able
to rotate crops on a. scientific basis
instead Of exhausting the soil by the
continual. planting Of the same crops.
Rice has already become an i'm :
portant item of export from the Yaaui
country. and corn also has been hx-
tensively grown there. The growing
Of wheat. however, is still somewhat
OF an experiment.
