WESTERN HEMISPHERE IMMIGRATION 263

The Cratrman. Of a county?
Mr. Garza. No, sir; we have councils in all south Texas. We
have 19 councils. We consolidated on the 17th of February, 1928,
and since then we have had councils in practically all of the large
centers in that country. Corpus Christi is the headquarters.
The CrairMAN. Do you travel around among these various
councils and talk to their members? ng
Mr. Garza. Yes, sir; esepcially those that are within a short
distance or a reasonable distance of my home.
The CrarrmMaN. Do you advise them in regard to United States
citizenship?
Mr. Garza. We try to educate them and encourage them to educate
their children. We tell them that their future standing as citizens
depends almost entirely upon their education.
The CratrMAN. The idea is that you want those children to come
along as best they may?
Mr. Garza. Yes, sir; that is the idea.
The CuatrmaN. That is perfectly right. I have no doubt you are
doing a good work.

The Cramrman. I should like to ask if Mr. Hart is in the room.
Mr. Harr. Yes, sir.
The Cramman. I should like to have you give us a little more
testimony this morning. Gentlemen of the committee, in questioning
Mr. Fred J. Hart, of San Jose, Calif., yesterday, I did not fully qualify
him. I shall ask you to be very brief this morning, Mr. Hart. Yesterday
 you qualified as an agriculturist.
Mr. Harr. As a farmer.
The CrnairMaN. As a farmer and builder of apartment houses in the
Salinas Valley. I now find that you are the managing editor of the
California Farm Bureau’s monthlies.
Mr. Harr. We have in the State of California 40 county farm
bureaus. I did not go into that yesterday, because a fellow does not
like to toot his own horn, and, like most of vou gentlemen, I was born
with a desire to serve.
The CuairMaN. How are the county farm bureaus managed?
Mr. Harr. Each county in the State has a monthly magazine.
The Cuairman. Let us not broaden out the scope of this inquiry.
How are the county farm bureaus managed, I asked. Are they partly
county and partly aided by the Federal Government?
Mr. Harr. No, sir; there is no Federal aid extended to these
county farm bureaus. They have nothing to do with the universities
or colleges. The county farm advisor is a Federal and State employee.
 We have no control over him, and he serves everybody.
He works through the farm bureau in our public meetings.
The Crairman. I want the division between the Federal-aided
farm bureau and the county farm-bureau system, which is a California
 organization. You say you have 40 of these magazines?
Mr. Harr. There are 40 farm bureaus, each of which has its own
magazine, but in order that each may have a good magazine, we print
them all at one plant. Each county has its own mailing list, and the
