Where Springs Co-
operation
(A Commaaity Editorial)
What are the motives behind the
much used word "cooperation ?" In
the life and progress of a community,
it may be said that there are several
reasons why citizens engage in co-
operative efforts to gain common ends
and acoompliah common purposes. Co-
operation springs both from selfish
ness and unselfishness. Even selfish-
ness of the right sort is Itself laud-
able. Many people put their shoulders
to tho wheel for the sheer joy of
making things go. Others, desiring
to help their own business or boost
their social aspirations, jump in with
their coate off and sleeves rolled up
to do the job that ia to be done. Still
others have a financial reason which,
if legitimate, detracte nothing or
little from the credit gained. For re-
sults count, after all, and the general
public looks only to results.
This business of cooperation to
build a town is the greatest fac
tor of all. So long as the people with
personal motives make them known,
and so long as the personal ends
sought for and obtained do not in
terfez* with the general results, We
can see no reason for withholding sup-
port in common endeavors. In the
final analysis we are all somewhat
selfish. There is some reason be-
hind every act for the good of the
community. Every piece of develop
ment helps somebody or some group
of people if it helps in any degree.
Every bit of public work costs some-
body or some group of people money,
time aad personal effort. We could
bo mors weed out and eeparate the
pensonal rewards of community work
from those it affects than We could
afford to stop development because
somebody profited by it to the sacri-
fice of others. For cooperation means
helping the other fellow, and in turn
helping ourselves.
When would Caldwell be if it
ware not for the cooperation of its
people? To the extent that we Work
together we prosper. But cooperation
works negatively as well as affirma-
tively. It may be used as effectively
to hold up ill-advised projects as to
forward worthy movements. None
can say to what ussa the cooperative
spirit may. or may not be put Com-
mon sense aad instincts of cituenship
must govern that problem. We do
know, however, that unless individual
Slight Grasshopper
Damages Anticipated
Coolie ge Station—The drone of the
grasshopper hasn't had that menac-
ing twang for the last few years be-
cause they've come to Texas in such
small numbers as to be of little im-
portance, and it is not anticipated
that any general damage will be done
this season. They were found laying
their eggs in a few placea last fall,
however, and farmers in scattered
sections may soon find that some-
thing needs to be done about it These
eggs begin hatching in April, as a
rule, especially if a period of Warm
rain occurs.
"Poisoned bran mash will be found
effective wherever damage becomes
serious, says r. r. Reppert, Ento-
mologist in the Extension Service,
and gives this formula: Mix up 20
pounds of bran, one pound Paris
Green, two quarts cane molasses, and
six lemons, using both the juice and
the rind. The lemons should be run
through a meat grinder. Mix up
with enough Water to make a moist
but not sloppy mash. Five pounds of
this mixture should be enough for one
acre infested field applied broadcast.
Usuwll;.- it jh unnecessary to poison
an entire field but only the edges
where the infestation is worst. Grass-
hoppers generally invade fields from
adjoining pastures or woodlands and
where they are fount? there in large
numbers, it's wise to scatter poison
along the fence rows or borders of
these places, sometimes taking in a
considerable margin.
At the Ford River Rough Plant is
a huge blast furnace which feeds up-
on crude iron ore, limestone and
coke. During the winter nighta it can
be seen for miles belching forth its
flames and brilliantly lighting the
Okies. Huge fans drive enormous vol-
umes of air through this flaming
mass until the heat generated sepa-
rates the valuable iron from the
refuse called 'slag.' Men with open
shirts toil about the base of thia fur-
nace, drawing off the molten iron
which is cast into parts for Ford
cars or which is refined Into the
strongest of steel beams.
In former days the slag was lighter
and came to the top and was drawn
off into the huge kettles lined with
earth and mounted on railroad can.
Long trains of this red hot maas were
run out to the banks of the River
Rouge and dumped. As these streams
of lava ran down into the water a
purple brilliance could be seen light-
ing the horizon brilliantly for miles.
jBut today, due to the research chem-
ist, this slag is run into a pit of
water near the furnace, Where, due
I to the explosion bo accomplished,
, it granulates and by means of a
screw conveyor is carried to the ce-
ment mill. Here, eliminating one
manufacturing step, it is made into
cement. This cement is later used to
make concrete . . . the foundations
of those same steel beams from the
blast furnace. Thus a waste has be-
come a valuable product
In the blast furnace of life we find
all classes of people. From some of
these the finest steel is made, but
others are only 'slag.' One of the
greatest problems confronting our
educators to-day is to reclaim this
'slag* of humanity, as the chemist
has reclaimed the slag of the blast
furnace, and mould it into useful and
valuable forms.
It may be true that the steel is
more Worthwhile, but a people cannot
rise much higher than the general
level of all about them, just as the
steel can rise no higher than the
strength of the concrete foundations
under it. In reclaiming our fellow-
man we make possible our own up-
building. . f |

'Balanced Ration
Highly Necessary
In Hog Production
College Station, Texac, April 5—
A well balanced ration, plenty of
fresh water at all times and no spe-
cial pampering—that in brief, is the
receipe given by Fred Hale, chief of
the division of swine husbandry of
the Experiment 8tation, A A M Col-
lege of Texas, for the grand chain-
clanship honors for carload lot of;
hogs carried off by the car of fifty
animals exhibited by the Experiment
Station recently at the Southwestern
Exposition and Fat Stock Shcftr at
Fort Worth. Mr. Hale, who is re-
ceiving congratulations upor his r.-
rhievement in producing the winning
c*:)oad of hogs, to an A A M gradu-
al and while a student in the col-
lege was a member of the Interntio-
nit Stock Judging Team. He began
his work With the Experiment Station
in 1926 and during the summer of
1927 took a course in studies of meat
at loWa State College. Prior to com-
ing to the Experiment Station he
was assistant general agricultural
agent of the Santa Fe Railway.
"While a good, well-balanced ra-
tion Is very essential, it is not the
only requirement in feeding out a
prize lot of hogs", Hale pointed out.
"The health of the animals may play
an important part in their thrift No
unusual amount of labor is necessary
in the process of feeding, but the ani-
mals must be situated in clean quar-
ters, of course, and the feeder must
be able to recognise when they are
not in a thrifty condition and quickly
find and remedy the cause. The prize
winning lot of Experiment Station
hogs were fed in self-feeders, free
choice style, and consequently did not
receive any special pampering. They
simply received a well balanced ration
of grain sorghums, tankage, cotton-
seed meal and salt and had plenty of
fresh water at all times."
