FORT WORTH. Tex, July IL
The text of President Roosevelt's mes
sage to the people Of Texas in . radio
speech here last night:
My friends of Texas: I am glad to
be back in Texas. and especially to
have nice quiet family day at my son
Elliott's ranch. always remember
that when he first decided to build q
house on top of the hill, he was at
tracted by the fact that the wide view
from here is 4 little like the view from
our old home far up the Hudson River
This is . grand part Of the country.
and I am glad indeed, to have such q
close family connection with it.
Tomorrow on my way to Colorado. I
will pass through 4 part Of Texas I
have never been to, Wichita Falls and
Amarillo, and am glad to know that,
this year, the rainfall has greatly i'm
proved conditions in the Panhandle.
That makes me remember one of the
objectives Of the national administra-
tion-better land use and an all
weather crop program.
Nine years ago, when was Governor
of the State of New York, I started
my interest in the better use of land.
Peple are apt to think of New York
State as vast metropolis. but out
side Of the city. at the southern end of
the State. more than 5000 900 people
live on farms, and in villages and
small cities.
Not Just State Problem.
Indeed. New York State ranks. in
the value Of its agricultural products,
as the fifth or sixth State in the Union.
A survey showed US that much farm
ing land was being used in an un-
economical way. that thousands of
acres were being badly eroded, refor-
estation was . great need, that We had
to plan for improving rural schools,
bringing in electricity and good roads
and stopping the waste and the poverty
that 50 often attended the older meth.
ods of doing business.
When l was working on this prob
lem in Albany, was struck by the
fact that agriculture cannot be
thought Of or worked for just on State
lines.
Every crop on every farm in every
county and in every State has a defi-
mite tie-in and relationship with SIM

liar crops in other States That is
why, since I have been in Washing
ton, have been working on the
agricultural and cattle program from
national angle. For example, not
only does cotton in Texas have 4 def
mite relationship with cotton in my
other State OF Georgia, but cotton in
the South and Southwest is clearly
connected with the economics Of the
wheat grower in the Dakotas, the
cattleman OF Wyoming. the potato
grower Of Maine. Where one of these
peoples has = poor year his lack OF
prosperity hits all the others.
All Others Helped.
Where one is prosperous all the
others are helped.
In one sense Texas Is = great en-
pire in itself. You can produce al
most everything needed by man, but
what gratifies me most Of all is that
the people Of the Lone Star are CO.
operating 50 well with all national
problems. In this way We will get
away from spotty prosperity and work
toward a universal prosperity.
You need more industries in Texas
but know you realize the Importance
OF not trying to get industries by the
route of cheap labor for industrial
workers. Cheap wages mean low buy
ing power. Low buying power means
low standards OF living, and that
means low taxable values and there
fore a difficulty in maintaining good
schools. good highways. sanitation and
other public improvements.
I know from all that I have seen
that new industries can and will be
developed in this State, because OF
your access to raw materials, because
of the efficiency of your labor, because
OF = growing purchasing power and
because of a spirit OF the people.
Yes, I am proud Of the spirit of
Texas, the spirit of all its people. !

POLE WILL SEEK
'STRATO' RECORD
Capt. Burzynski to Take Off
in September Near
Czech Border,
By The Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A Polish Army captain will soar into
the stratosphere sometime in Septem-
Der in an attempt to break the worlc
altitude record established in the
United States in 1895.
That record-72,3 1876 feet, or approx
mately l3s4 miles-was set by the
Explorer II in an ascent from the
Black Hills of South Dakota. The
fight was sponsored by the National
Geographic Society and the United
States Army.
The Geographic Society said yes.
terday the next night would be made
in a balloon of rubberized silk, manu-
factured from silk grown and proc
essed in Poland. It will be piloted
by Capt. zbigniew Burzynski. The
take-off will be made from a valley
in the Tatry Mountains in Southwest
Poland near the border of Czecho-
slovakia
The balloon, the society announced
will be the largest ever constructed
and will weigh less than half as much
as the Explorer II. For that reason
society scientists said it should climb
to a greater height, probably $1,000
feet.
