Daniel (Continued from Page 1) “This is not a healthy situation,” the former Attorney General said. He said every depression in United States had been preceded by such a period in agriculture. He also bemoaned the shift in rural population in Texas. He quot ed from figures gathered by re search by A&M’s Agricultural Economics department and said, “Larger farms in Texas are gob bing up the smaller size farms. We had 39,000 fewer farms in 1954 than in 1950 and the size of the average farm increased from 438 to 439 acres.” “Pm glad many are trying to do something about this in our govern ment. Many Democrats and Re publicans are trying to work out a solution,” he said.

CONDUCTED BY DIMITRI TtOMKIM He enumerated the soil bank, foreign markets and drought relief as angles that are being fried to better agriculture’s position. “X want' our state to do more in helping meet the problems in the State,” he said. “I want to adopt a Water Con servation Program in Texas,” he said. “No econcrmie problem is more important than the Texas Water Program. We in this state have delayed too long in getting a sound water program. “We need a drought relief pro gram in Texas so no farmer will be foi’eclosed on because of drought, a situation beyond his control,” he said. He said that Texas is going into the biggest highway program next year in history. “I hope the farm-to-market high* ways are not forgotten in this program,” he said. He asked the group to influence boys and gii-ls to stay with agri culture. He said farmers should be encouraged to “tough it out” and stay with their farms even though the situation is almost unbearable. “I hope what I have said will bring home to you the importance of your work in the state and na tion,” he said. “We want you to have higher salaries,” he told the group again near the end of his speech. > Harry Truman Right For Once Former President Harry Truman, explaining why he opposed Adlai Stevenson for the Presidential nomi nation, said on Aug. 11, 19S6: “ . . . . this convention must name a man who has the experience and the ability to act as President im mediately upon - assuming office, without risking a period of costly and dangerous trial and error.” We haven’t always agreed with Mr. Truman. But this time he was right. The United States can’t afford a trial-and-error President. What if Adlai’s give-up-the-H-bomb scheme didn’t work? Yes, Mr. Truman, that would be a “costly and danger ous” experiment. Ike’s stability and experience are good enough for us, say Texas Democrats for Eisenhow er, 412 Bolm Building, Austin. (Pol.
