ised and abundantly cultivated. "But
this intensive cultivation has been
impossible, with the acreage the farm-
er has usually tried to farm/' he de-
clared. "This fact and the one-crop
habit, has been largely responsible for
the southern farmers' troubles." Ter-
racing, sowing down at least part of
the land in cover crops, crop rotation,
seed selection, and better and more
livestock—these fundamentals must
be the foundation for any successful
farm program, according to Mr. Lan-
caster.

VIEWS ON COTTON INDUSTRY
Dallas. Texas, Januaiy 14. -"Lower
the cost of producing cutton, through
sound cultural methods, applied in a
business-like way; increase the uses
of both cotton and cotton seed, in
those ways which have already bwn
proven to be entirely practical, as
well as those to be determined here-
after; re-establish the live-at-home
principie on which our farming in-
dustry was originally built—and there
will come t'o the South an era of pros-
perity such as few of have ever
dreamed; a prosperity that will speed-
ily be reflected in the financial and
economic life of the entire nation."
(That ia the view of J. L. Lancaster,
¡ President of The Texas and Pacific
Railway Company, a man who has
j given much thought to agricultural
conditions south of Mason and Dixon's
Line.
"Farming is a business, not simply
an occupation," said Mr. Lancaster.
"When the farmer, backed by his
banker or merchant, realizes this, and
j that lowered cost of production
through constantly increasing effici-
j ency of operation is just as vital to
successful farming as to any other
business, things will improve." Mr.
Lancaster's position is that the farm-
ers production costs can be lowered
through intensive cultivation of small-
er areas, properly prepared ami fertil-
After eighteen months of develop-
ment work, Dodge Brothers, Inc., has
offieially announced the Victory Six,
a passenger car containing a number
of mar ed innovations. It is long and
low in appearance, capable of sustain-
ed high speeds, and is priced from
$1,045 to $1,170; the standard sedan
selling at $1,095 f. o. b. Detroit.
Plans for li 28 at Dodge Brothers
include the continuance of the Stand-
ard Four, equipped with 4-wheel
brakes and priced at$H75 for the se-
dan, and the Senior Six, priced at
$1,505 ior the sedan, in addition to the
Victory Six.
Tentative schedules for the year in-
dicate that nearly three-fourths of
Dodge Brothers passenger car produc-
tion will consist of Victory models in-
cluding a coupe at $1,045, a coupe
with rumble seat at $1,005, a sedan
at $1,095, de luxe sedan at $1,170, and
a de luxe brougham at $1,170.
Grilling tests during which more
than 1,000,000 miles were rolled up by
engineers in both experimental and
actual models preceded the formal an-
nouncement of the Victory. Some of
the test cars, on durability runs, were
kept going on the highways until their
speedometers showed over 100,000
miles.
A LOAN AND INVESTMENT
COMPANY TO BE ORGANIZED
We believe there is need of a loan

CKOSSING BREEDS
IS NOT FAVORED
The results of painstaking cure
exercised by breeders for centurle*
me beiiiji wiped out In some sections
\Wiere some dairy farmers are cross
liiji breeds in a mistaken effort to se-
ure a higher quality of milk and
more of It, says 13. J. Perry, dairy
;if< ialist at the College of Agriculture
in New r.runswick.
"The development of each dairy
breed," explains Mr. Perry, "Is the re-
sult of u process <>f selection covering
hundreds of years. Thousands of men
have spent the best years of their
lives In breeding up pure strains of
cuttle. Through persistent selection
certain characters have become fixed.
Ily crossing different breeds we Inter-
fere with the transmission of the fac-
tors which account for the distinct
churacters of each breed.
"In erossiug breeds there Is not an
exact blending of the characters as Is
often supposed. Instead, an entirely
new combination usually results. The
olVspriti^ of the cross may be f:¡lrl>
deslrnh!.-. but for breeding purposes
the\ are always uncertain. For In-
stance, in crossing a Guernsey with a
llolstein the offspring Inherit the
quality f the llolstein and quantity
of the (iiieriiscy fully as often us they
Inherit the quantity of the llolstein
and quality of the Guernsey.
"The ilairyman will do best to
choose the breed that best suits ills
tastes and meets the market require-
ments Select good individuals of a
certain laved, and use u registered
sire of superior merit botli us to type
and as to production. Then the build-
ing up of a good-looking herd having
hlsh average production Is reasonably
certain.''

Prevent Ropy Milk by
Proper Care of Cow
During the summer milk often be-
comes abnormal In the respect thut
It becomes quite stringy and ropy.
This ropiness Is not always the result
of u gargety condition of the udder
us Is usually thought to be the cuse,
but is sometimes the direct result of
the action of un organism, B. vlscosum,
writes ij. M. Trout In the Dairy
Farmer.
This organism grows liest In hot
weather and Is found growing espe-
cially in stagnant pools and marshes.
Cows wading in such places get the
organism on the udder from which
they tltid their way into the tent canal
and into the milk pail during milking.
Sending of the milk polls tends to
keep down the spread of the trouble,
but Is not entirely satisfactory in
eliminating the condition from the
daily milk supply. The cows must be
kept from such marshes or else the
stagnant pools must be drained. Ropy
milk caused by B. vlscosum Is not In-
jurious to health In any way, but be-
cause of its stringy, slimy nppearauce
is far from being desirable.
More Poor Cows Should
Be Fattened and Killed
It is a common practice among
dairymen to fatten a cow for the beef
t ; rel each year M ire of our po.tr
• \vs should be fattened and sold for
I - f. After a cow has passed the mid
: e of her hft.'tation period or lias been
'<;vd it is natural for her to drop in
milk production and gain in weight.
Feeds which will fatten an animal for
beef should be wide in the ratio of
, ri'tein to carbohydrates and fat, or
in other words you should feed a t"
tlon low In protein, as protein feeds
stimulate milk production at the ex
pense of body weight. Good cows
will, however, continue to give some
milk even though they are receiving
a tatlen'i _ ration. To fatten a milk-
ing cow quickly allow her to eat from
• lit to twelve pounds daily of a ra
tion containing three parts hominy or
corn mee I, one part bran, one part
oats and one part of linseed oilmeal.

VIEWS ON NEW HOTEL
It is a proven fact that the travel-
ing men are the best advertisers in
the world. A new Hotel would start
them working for Caldwell.
The first impressijn a stranger
gets of your town is at the hotel. Very
often it is a lasting one. Hotels are
the reception room of your city. It
should be second to none. A town
without a hotel is a town without a
heart, so far as the traveling public
is concerned.
A night clerk at the hotel renders
great service from an information
standpoint and is very valuable in
case of an outbreak of fire in the
business section of the town.
The money received in the hotels
would not come to the town through
any other channel. An average of
thirty guests a day at a rate of $3.50
per day is equivalent to what sixty-
three ordinary families would spend
in the same length of time. The city
would also receive about $60.00 per
month more taxes.
Caldwell has not had a fair chance
• to grow. There has been enough
money invested and lost on outside
investments, by the people of Caldwell
to build a dozen hotels.
If Bryan can build a $250,000.00 ho-
tel, Caldwell can certainly put over
one for $50,000.00. It must be done.
The co-operation of the business men
would aid materially. Let's get to-
gether and work the project out. The
sooner the better all the way around.

week, interviewing some of the Cald-
well merchants who handle ammuni-

Toperwein is well known over Texas
and has given numerous exhibitions
<>f his wonderful uvarksmanship. Ha
is now a traveling salesman for a
wholesale house in San Antonio. Be-
sides being a crack rifleman, he is al-
so a most wonderful caricaturist and
left his signature (a drawing of fath-
er Jiggs) on the lobby window of the
Caldwell Hotel.
