George H. BowIeS, one of the
leading rice planters of Eagle
Lake, Texas, attended a confer
ence of the executive committee of
the American Rice Growers aSSo-
CiatiOn in Lake Charles Tuesday

from now so to 80 per cent of the
rice acreage in Texas will be sign
ed up with the American Rice
Growers association.
"The organization work is pro-
crossing as well as one could pos
sibly expect under the circum-
stances in Texas. AS a whole, our
farmers are Intensely interested
and are studying the new organl-
zation very carefully even in plac-
es where our speakers have mol
yet been able to so. In some of
these places many farmers have
voluntarily signed up contracts
and forwarded them in to the
office.
"At Eagle Lake we have COM
pIeted the organization of our
local and have signed up So per
cent of the rice acreage. At Gar
wood the rice farmers have OrSa-
nized a local and have signed up
from Is to IS per cent of The rice
acreage. AT Ell Campo a new local
has just been formed which, at
its meetings, signed up 80 per
cent of the acreage. In ten days
from now so per cent of the acre
age will be signed up at that point.
AT Ell Canado practically the same
thing has been done and will be
done within the next ten days.

at this time for meetings of rice
farmers at Bay City, Markham
Katy, San Jacinto, Old River, in
communities adjacent to Houston.
Arrangements are being made for

will deny, likewise the action
should be taken at once to pro-

crowds which went from Crowley
to Lake Arthur were such as to
show without further argument
that work should be started soon
on the project.
In line with this dominant
thought in the minds of the peo-
pie, is the sentiment expressed in
a letter by State Highway Engi-
neer, Buie, sent to Judge Phillip
S. Pugh. Mr.. Buie said the bridge
project as the stretch of roadway
between Crowley and Lafayette
should be given attention first,
under the provisions of the new
law which was passed by the Con-
Stitutional convention. He sent a
map of the roads in Louisiana
showing the connecting links with
Acadia Parish.
= Judge Pugh said he would turn
the letter over to Mayor Pugh.
and the latter said he will call a
meeting of all persons interested
at an early date with a view of
getting the matter under way as
soon as possible and having the
bridge built as speedily as the de-
tails can be cleared for action on
the main issue.
