TELLS
FARMERS HOW
TO GET LOANS
Central Agency Must
Precede Farm
Board Aid

AUSTIN, Jan. 6-P)-Texas cot
ton farmers must organize. them
selves into a central agency before
they can share in tia relief Of
fered by congress through the fed
eral farm board.
This was the message brought
by Alexander Legge. chairman, and
Carl williams, cotton memb-r, OF
the board, in conference today with
Governor Dan Moody, heads Of
certain Texas colleges and repres-
entatives Of farmers and bankers
associations.
Furnish Speakers
1t would be possible for the farm
board TO furnish speakers and ed
ucational matter. and probably
lend money, toward a campaign 70
organize the farmers Of Texas by
districts, Williams said. replying TO
a question from @. S. <. Holland Of
Houston, representing the Texas
Bankers association, who expressed
belief that the only way to get re-
lief would be to undertake the task
Of educating the farmers 70 the
real meaning of the farm board
act. He said he believed this would
require several years.
1T Is absolutely necessary that
the farmers group themselves into
a thorough organization II any
thing is done" Williams said. The
Federal Farm Board was created by
congress to aid the farmers in help
ing themselves"
Control Necessary
He declared there must be q
centralized agency to absolutely
control the flow OF the product TO
the markets Of the world He said
one Texas cooperative organization
had been able TO handle only three
or four per cent of the cotton af-
ter nine years work.
I'VE cannot reach the other 96
per cent individually. since the
board must deal solely with CO.
operative organizations, and we
cannot afford TO distribute relief in
the way Of advances on cotton to
OA4S bAiASC VI AOuI PEI CcIlJ W Tie
exclusion OF the other SO per cent"
he said.
Chairman Legge told the confer
ence that if the attitude Of won
dering what the fool farm board
Is going to do" continued the real
relief will not be much.
1T Is necessary that the farmers
get together and Quit this thing
of being competitors of one an
other" he said.
He pointed out that there could
not be a 'cut and dried" program.
but declared the varied situations
that existed peculiar to as many
communities made 1t imperative
that the board maintain a 'flex-
ible" policy insofar as It could
under the law which created It.
There are no two states in har-
mony on this thing; they all seem
TO be competing" Legge said.
