Final plans made for post office dedication
A Dirt Farmers Congress survey notes Texas cotton crops late this year with Rio Grande Valley picking August 1 10 and only about 55 200 bales versus 100 000 normally. Coastal Bend Corpus Christi expects poor prospects while Central Texas near Travis Williamson counties eyes August 20 with better outlook. Labor shortages loom due to border, defense plants, and drafts, urging farmers to redouble boll weevil control investments as rains hinder insect work and prices stay above 15 cents. A local car sale ad follows.

Increased Emphasis on Soil Conservation in 1942 Farm Program
The 1942 AAA plan shifts focus toward soil building on individual farms as final provisions are drafted. Dorman D. Sell states soil-building allowances will anchor earnings, with two payment types: for approved soil practices and for planting within special crop allotments like wheat and cotton. Rates mirror 1941, with regional variations and a $20 minimum payment, subject to Congressional appropriations and potential use of special crop allotments for feed grains.
