COTTON ACREAGE TUSSLE
—For the third straight year
East Texas and West Texas cot
ton farmers are at odds over
acreage allotments.
State and county allotments
are to be announced by USD A
before Dec. 14 when cotton farm
ers will vote on whether they
want a market quota program for
1958.
West Texas farmers contend
that their area has been penal
ized. They say an undue portion
of the state’s cotton acreage is
allotted to the cotton-growing
counties of east and central Tex
as. One group of West Texans
went to federal court last year to
try to get the allotments chang
ed.
Opposing them is the Old Cot
ton Belt Association which has
announced it will fight new ef
forts to wrest acreage from its
area.
SPEED LAW QUESTIONED
—Governor Daniel has been re
quested to ask the Legislature to
re-write the automobile speed
limit law.
A recent opinion from the
Court of Criminal Appeals called
the law “vague and indefinite and
therefore invalid.” Involved was
a conviction for driving 90 miles
an hour.
If this law is too shaky for
court tests, the Harris County
district attorney told the gov
ernor in effect, a new and strong
er one should be written im
mediately.

Editor:
The Battalion
. I have heard the gripe many
times during my two years here
at A&M about the speaking and
meeting on the campus.
This weekend, several of my
friends from my hometown came
to Aggieland for the first time to
see the SMU-A&M game. Just
before game time, they made a
comment to my wife on the ex
ceptional friendliness of all the
Aggies.
They stated that it seemed
every Aggie they, met spoke to
them and “many of the Aggies
came up to us, shook our hand,
and told us their • name.” This
is one of the things that makes
A&M great, and because of this,
we should strive to keep it that
way.
