WEEKLY MEWSltETTER
CONGRESSMAN Orr TEKA^-- ,
W. P. A. Appropriation
The present WPA law and appropriation will expire
Jiire 80th, next. This law contains the eighteen-month
provision, about which there has been bo much controversy.
The House Committee on Appropriations will commence
consideration of another WPA appropriation, to commence
July 1st, next, and to expire June 8* th. 1941. The WPA
authorities have not yet decided whether they will favor or
oppose the eighteen month provision going into the next
appropriation law. There is no chance of getting a bill
through repealing the eighteen tnrnth provificn in the
present la w, which expires June 80th. The House Commit-
tee has announced it will carefully investigate the effects
of this eighteen-month provision for the purpose of deter-
mining whether or not it should be inserted in the new ap*
proprlation bill.
Since the present appropriation bill became effective.
1,098, 000 WPA workers have been f urloughed because of
it. About26 ppr cent of them have been restored to date.
Last raoti'h, 48,0 *0 were taken off by reason of this pro-
vision. In order for one to get reinstated under such circum
B'ances, he should make application to the Intake worker
or interviewer, but no one can be re-employed until the
expiration of thirty days. The ones who were furloughed
in our state by reason of this provision were greatly incon-
venienced for several months, because there were no inter-
viewers or intake workers to rt-certify then, but this mat-
ter has been adjusted, as the interviewers are now made
possible through the commissioners'court of each county.
Low Interest on Farm Loans
The Committee on Agriculture tonsidered all bills re*
iating to the reduction of interest on Federal Land Bank
and Commissioner loans, Including my own bill, H. R. 6240,
which was introduced May 10, 1980, and reported one of
its own, which provides an intercstrate not exceeding 3i
per cent per annum on all land bank loans and 4 per cent
on commissioner loans in the future. This bill has a good
chance of passing.
Cotton Certificates
Sentiment seems to be growing in favor of the pay-
ment of the 19"5 cotton certificates. The most powerful
farmer organize tions ha ve not as yet endorsed this pro.
posal, although there is much sentiment amcng their mem-
bership to do so If these organizatio s will endorse the
payment of these certificates, it is my belief that Congress
will pass the bill without any trouble, but as long as these
powerful organizations of the farmers thfemselves do not
request it, members of Congress are reluctant ^.o appropri-
ate the m >ney to make the payment. I have received many
petitions and resolutions from county organizations from
different sections of th# country, endorsing my biil provid-
ing for this pa j ment, but as yet, ti e state and national
groups h . ve not acted. I hope they will, as we need their
help.

The Jetferson Wholesale Grocer Co. Proposes To Sponsor Another
Blackeyed Pea Contest On 5 Acres Of East Texas Land.
Application for this contest is opened only to farmers in Jeffer-
son Trade Territory and not until the proposed 5 acres have been
actually planned will applicants be given contract to participate
in Contest
If you are one of the contestants and we have as many as
2000 acres, we offer the following prizes for the most thrashed
BLACKEYED-PEAS raised on this land and brought to the Jef-
ferson Wholesale Grocer Co. Pea Plant before the 15th day of
August, 1940. (These peas must be practically free from weevils,
not mixed or weather damaged.) The Jefferson Wholesale Grocer
Co. agrees to pay you not less than $1.50 per bushel (60 lbs.
thrashed) for Blackeyes and will award the following prizes for
the most number of pounds of Thrashed Blackeyes raised on 5
acres^
First Prlskg $100.00 Second Prlate 75.00
Third Prize SO.OO Fourth Prize 35.00
Fifth Prlasea 28.00 Sixth Prize 10,OO
We think this deserves every farmer's attention. First, you
have a guarantee of 50 per cent more money for your peas this
year than last year with the possibility of getting more. (Last
year, we guaranteed $1.00 and paid $1.20). You enrich your land
from $3 to $5.00 per acre. You have a chance to win from $10.00
to $100.00 and you have a cash crop in July and early August
hat are you going to lose?
The judges will be picked by our County Agent and their de-
cision will be final. All acreage will be checked by the 15th of
June. No peas accepted on contest are guaranteed price after
August 15th. (Although, we may continue to buy after that date.)
Plant good seed. Plant them early in April. Inoculate your
seed and pick them as soon as they get dry and bring them on in.
The weevils will eat them up in 10 days if not treated and we
cannot accept weevily peas. They can be thrashed or winded-out
We don't accept peas in the hull.
We will also buy Cream Peas if not mixed and any rther
Blackeyed Peas offered at market prices.
