Membership Goal Set
The membership goal is set at a
...— ... Dues are $1 a
I year and there are no paid em-
| Ployees. The money is used largely
. tn finance trips. An annual member-
ship meeting is contemplated.
Youthful County Judge Jim Can-
trell, a Collin County native, who
taught school before entering poli-
tics, was one of the organizers of the
good-roads group and now’ devotes a
great deal of time to its program.
“My people have always made
their living from the farm and I know
firsthand the problerns they face.”
he says, “(gradually our young peo-
ple are moving from the farms into
the city where they have modern
conveniences in their homes and pav-
ed highways.
“Actual- checks show the extent of
this improvement. Recently in one
rural community alone were found
thirty-five vacated homes. Some of
them were being wrecked and the
salvaged lumber used for city resi-
dences.
“Demobilization of our armed forc-
es will bring the problem to a head.
You can’t expect the returning sol-
dier to bury himself on a farm that
is cut off from the world during bad
weather. He wants the opportunity
j to market his products. He wants
to send his children to school nine
months out of the year and not mere-
ly when the roads are passable. And
he wants at least some of the con-
veniences his city brother enjoys.
“In Collin County we have 1,477
miles of country roads. Only 5 per
cent are suited to all kinds of weath-
er-. y^en we have improved the re-
maining 95 per cent we will have
gone a long way toward the solution
of the problem of shifting farm pop-
ulation.”
Dallas Condition Better
Ironically, Dallas County, adjoin-
ing Collin on the south, has one of
the best, county road systems in the
state, with only a small percentage
unimproved. This has further bred
discontent among the mud-bound
farmers in South Collin County, who
have threatened to move the bound-
ary line in an effort to get relief.
Hunt County, on the left, has sub-
stantially the same problem as Col-
..... Grayson County, adjoining on
due to the financial
two
Denison.
“We have in Collin County some of
the finest agricultural land in the
state,” Cantrell said. “In addition to
the long-established cotton produc-
tion, we raise corn, wheat, oafs and
other grain crops. Our livestock in-
dustry—both dairy and beef cattle—
has shown amazing growth and has
still greater possibilities. But in a
fast-moving world our program will
mean nothing unless we can trans-
port our products with ?.s little de-
lay as possible over good highways
If we are to succeed, COLLIN COUN-
TY FARMERS MUST BE LIFTED
OUT OF THE MUD.”

Survey Conducted
Working closely with the commis-
sioners court, the Farm-to-Market
Roads Association is seeking at pres-
ent to educate the taxpayers as to
the necessity for better rural thoro-
tares. It is compiling data to show
the alarming decrease in farm popu-
lation and offering a good-roads pro-
gram as i&. means of checking the
evil.
Delegations twice during the last
five months have presented their
case to the Highway Department at
Austin with encouraging results. The
group works in close co-operation
with all governmental agencies.
Heading the association is J. W
Neal, Princeton, a banker who also
has farm interests. C. O. Robinson,
a farmer, is vice-president -and O. L.
Hope, McKinney merchant, secretary
and treasurer. The board of direct-
ors is made up of four men from each
... the four Collin County precincts.

BY ROBERT M. HAYES
In Dallas News
McKINNEY, Oct. 29—The slippery
mire of an unpaved country road, an
irate dairy farmer and several truck-
loads of undelivered milk combined
recently to give Collin County Com-
missioners a jolt they’ll not soon
forget.
Heavy rains had marooned the
dairyman on his off-the-highway
farm. For several days he tried in
yain to make deliveries. Then, giv
ing up the hopeless struggle, he’com-
puted his loss at $200 and filed a
claim with the conntv government
blaming neglect of duty for his plight.’
The claiin, of course, was not paid.
But it was not ignored. For it spot-
lighted a problem that has plagued
Collin County since the days of the
early settlers and may help to spur
its solution.
That solution, many Collin Coun-
tians believe, lies in a novel organi-
zation known as the Farm-to-Market
Roads Association, formed in May of
this yeai. Already the voice of this
new grojip has been heard in .Austin
and has given the distressed farmer
new hope. So far as is known, it is
the only association of its kind in the
state.
The Collin County Livestock
opened Tuesday morning with a
grand parade headed by the McKin-
ney High School Band.
This is one of the finest livestock
shows yet held and will close this af-
ternoon (Thursday) after 3 big days
in which thousands of people from all
parts of the county and many from
points:, outside the county have view-
ed the wonderful exhibits of cattle,
sheep, hogs and horses. The show
was overflowing with entries, many
having been turned away for lack
of space. One thousand dollars in
premiums will be paid out.
Judging began Tuesday with hors-
es and sheep. The dairy cattle -were
judged Wednesday morning. A live-
ly interest was taken as Oscar Butler,
expert judge sized up the relative
merits of the animals. Mr. Butler
has a wide reputation and is connect-
ed with the Kraft Cheese Company
of Denisorf.
County Agent Jack McCullough was
present helping to keep track of the
judging, and assisting with details.
Geo. Apple, local auctioneer, an-
nounced the entries and the judges
decisions. Aubrey Sorrells, manag-
er of the Burrus Feed Mills kept the
tally.
It was interesting to walk through
the big barns and see such a wonder-
ful display of purebred stock. Stall
after stall was occupied. Each group
of animals was being cared for by
either the owners themselves or some
attendant. The hay was in most
cases fresh and the stalls and ani-
mals clean.
There were 224 hogs on exhibition,
m a separate big barn from the other ‘
stock; 98 jerseys, 23 dual purpose, '
and 38 beef cattle, 75 horses and 42| I
sheep, were in the show.
Some visitors who have attended
other shows in North and East Tex-
as declare this is by far the best and ’
are surprised when told that no en-
tries are allowed from outside Collin
county.
This show is real proof of the great
work that has been and is being
done by the livestock men of our
epunty. Their efforts' have been un-
tiring and not once have they lost the
vision of making Collin a foremost
stock raising county. Elsewhere may
be found the list of prize winners in
the various classes as far as wa^
possible for us to obtain them be-
fore press time.
