W. Sherrill, County Agent of Williamson County was called upon to fill his place on the program by telling of his work in that county. He told how $10,000 hogs had ac- tually become a reality and of nu- merous instances where through pig club wor with the boys, in- terest had been excited in pure-bred hogs, causing the farmers to dispose of all common stock and to go into the business of raising only register- ed stock. Dr. W. R. Hendricks Speaks. The first address of the evening was made by Dr. W. R. Hendricks, Pastor of the St. Paul Methodist Church of Houston, on the subject of “Community Building.” Before taking up his subject, Dr. Hendricks | commented on the nature of the meeting. ‘It is a very interesting, a very unique meeting—a new alli-| ance, signifying a broader compre- hension on the part of both bankers | and farmers which has grown out| of recent great events,” he said. | I feel that I am addressing th | most important meeting ever held in the State, a meeting of both bankers | and farmers.

If everyone in a country commun- ity would only set his heart on i that community could have an in- telligent market man who could ad- vice the farmers about marketing conditions. The community could have a man who was capable of ex- rlaining matters of production ani transportation, and the farmer could grow old on the farm and be in peace by knowing that his farm was worth four times as much as it was when he bought it. We must have a contented country life. The country community must be a place where the people with money are content to live where thz people with intelligence and educa- tion will live. Farm Ownership Col. P. L. Downs next introduced Judge H. M. Gossett, President of the Federal Land Bank of Houston, who talked on the subject of “Farm Ownership.” He explained the work of th: Federal Land Bank and told of the importance of that great institution to the Farmers of the country. Hz said that since its establishment, it had loaned more than $39,000,000 to just about 15,000 farmers. He deplored the present tempor- ary embarassment that the I'ederal Land Bank was suffering because of the delay of the Supreme Court in making its decision on the appeal of ihe Circuit Court, and said that he hoped to be able to begin and pass with disvatch the seven or eight mil- lion dollars in loans already ap- proved.
