the pure bred chickens do. Besides
being better producers, the pure bred
variety that has gained in popularity

Irvin Worthington one of Cooks
Point's most thrifty and successful
farmers dropped into the News of-
fice this week to place a local ad in
the paper and incidentally told about
his experience with sweet potatoes
last year. He said he thought that
he would try some potatoes and suc-
ceeded in planting a patch. The fol-
lowing is what his harvest was and
the returns to date that he received
from his efforts.
He harvested the sum of 300 bush-
els, enough to fill a good size barn.
Up to the present time he said that
he had sold 100 bushels at an average
of 2 l-2c per pound. Figuring 55
pounds to the busheel his returns to
date amount to about $135.00. He
said he had about two hundred bush-
els left, seventy-five bushels of which
he is offering for sale for seed pur-
poses. The balance left he intends
to use and sell and feed to his stock.
He figures that his potatoes were
very profitable to him for the little
labor' that was reequired to produce
them. He said the land would not
have produced very much revenue had
it been planted to cotton on account
of the activities of the boll weevil.
By diversifying planting potatoes in-
stead of so much cotton, he came out
much better. How much better would
the farmers of the county be if a reg-
ular market could be established for
this crop. The sandy lands of Bur-
leson County are well adapted to po-
tato growing and the market end of
this crop should be studied and work-
ed out so more could be grown each
year and sold readily. Around Tyler
the farmers are shipping their pota-
toes to Colorado and other points by
the car loads at a good profit. If
other counties can find a ready mar-
ket, it seems that Burleson County
could.
Proper curing should be carefully
studied and provided for the future
benefit of the farmers.
Irvin, however, made good with his
crop of potatoes single handed which
speaks mighty well for himi We are
glad to know that he is practicing the
safe farming methods and i* not de-
pending altogether on cotton.
COOKES POINT OBSERVER
I attended church services at the
Methodist church last Sunday even-
ing at the Point, and took part in the
services, and gathered some items of
news, heard Rev. E. A. Potts preach,
he announced that he would preach
here again on the fifth Sunday ;n this
month, morning and evening and there
would be sacrament service at the
morning service. There was at the
same hour at the Moravian Brethren
church services conducted by Rev. F.
H. Horak, we were informed ihat he
preaches monthly at this place on the
third Sunday evening at 3 o'clock p.
M. We were informed also that
there will be preaching at the Ger-
man Methodist church on the fifth
Sunday morning and evening. In the
morning he will prerfch in the Ger-
man language and in the evening in
English. The preacher is a new
preacher for this place. His name
is A. Elley, he lives at Lexington. He
and the church extend a cordial invi-
tation to everybody to attend their
services. Some of the church mem-
bers tell me that their preacher is a
good preacher, I think I will go and
see and hear for myself.
Mr. H. A. Loehr and Charles Kret-
zer visited Mrs. Ed Loehr in Houston,
she had an operation recently at the
Methodist hospital for appendicitis.
She was getting along nicely when
last heard from.
Our farmers out this way are get-
ting along fine with their farm work.
Most of them are about half done
breaking their land for another crop.
Our people are very indi trious peo-
ple and are fairly educated and are
a religious people, church going, and
never have any dances on Sunday
nights. Last but not least, our school
is progressing nicely under the aus-
pices of Miss Jennie Pollack and as-
sistant teachers.

Aged 73 years, 6 months and 8 days,
Lorenz Fleckenstein. another one of
Burleson County's old citizens, passed
away at the midnight hour, January
13, 1928 at his home in north Cald-
well.
His death, though not unexpected,
was still a crushing blow to his de-
voted family, all of whom were at his
bedside and earnestly tried to nurse
him back to health, but death alone
could relieve the intense suffering
which he bore with uncommon forti-
tude.
Mr. Fleckenstein was born in Bara-
via, Germany, in 1854 and lived there
until he was twenty-nine years old,
while still but a lad, his father died,
and he, being the eldest son, had to
assume the responsibilities of a fath-
er; to care for the needs of the widow-
ed mother and seven children.
He was married to Miss Mary
Fuchs and while they still dwelt in
Bavaria there was born to them a son
who was the late Henry Fleckenstein,
called by death about six months ago.
This couple with their young babe
soon set out for America, the Land of
Opportunity, and landed in the year
1883. They came direct to Burleson
( County, located one mile from Cook's
Point, and purchased a good tract of
land. This farm he has cultivated
continuously fur practically forty
years.
Two daughters, Annie and Rosa,
who are now Mrs. Charlie Tonn of
and Mrs. J. C. Ricke both of Houston,
I were also born to this union. Then,
after but seven years in America the
Death Angel entered the home and
took away the wife and mother.
A few years later Mr. Fleckenstein
was married to Mrs. Rosa Fitzgerald,
and to them were born Lorenz, who
now resides in Bryan; Albert, a resi-
dent of Houston and Mrs. Hermann
Loehr of Cooks Point. Two step-
daughters botn of this city, Mrs. Edd
Drescher and Mrs. Tom Machan, to
whom he was always a kind and lov-
ing father, also deeply mourn his loss,
for he was the only father they ever
knew. Besides these children there
survive nine grand-children and an
only sister, Mrs. John Hock of New-
York City.
Mr. Fleckenstein was one of that or-
der of men who have helped to make
Texas a great agricultural state. He
believed in making the soil produce
the best it could and all it could. To
this end he worked hard- very hard,
not always because it was necessary,
for his thrift soon gained for him an
independent living, hut he labored be-
cause he loved to be a producer and
to develop the resources within him-
self and within the soil.
He was a loyal citizen, rendering
always to hi country the service which
properly belongs to her, and to God
He wan brought up in the Catholic
faith. At his first Communion in Ba-
varia he took a vow to be faithful un-
to death, and he kept that vow.
Five years ago, because of failing
health, he reluctantly gave up his
farm life and moved to Caldwell.
Death came peacefully and with no
murmur of protest over the acute
agonies he hail to bear. Funeral ser-
vices were conducted at the home and
at the Catholic Church by Father
Skocek, his pastor, assisted by Father
Gleisner of Bryan. The body was in-
terred in the Catholic cemetery where
services were concluded by thene two
ministers of the Catholic faith.
J. Louis Giddings and Tommy Jones
attended the Willys-Overland Con-
vention at the Rice Hotel in Houston
Wednesday of last week. Mrs. Gid-
dings, Mrs. H. P. WoodBon and Mrs.
J. Earl Porter accompanied them on
the trip, devoting their time to sight-
seeing and shopping.
Mrs. Loula Duckworth, .Miss E .nice
Morgan, Mrs. R. J. Savage and Mrs.
Hugh Cherry went to Brenham Fri-
day on a little pleasure excursion. A
few miles out of town they had car
trouble and had to come in. They were
not going to be out done, so secured
another car and continued happily on
their way.
