Hereford
Is the county seat of Deaf Smith county
The conrt house, cesting $125,000.00, is
constructed of &teel, concrete and marble
and is the finest and best equipped in
Texas. The town is located in the
Southeastern part of the county on the
main line of the Santa Fe Railroad from
Kansas City to California. Four daily
passenger trains are maintained. The
business is represented by all lines
usually found in a city of 2,500 people.
The three banks furnish ample facilities
for the merchants, farmers and stock-
men and farmers. The Municipal Water
Works and Sewer System are modern
in every respect. A private corporation
furnishes Electric Light and Power.
The school district has a well equipped
building costing j>25,0 0 and an enroll-
ment of 500 pupils. The High School
is affiliated with the State University.
Seven church organizations are repre-
sented and six of these have good build-
ings. The streets are graded, the mam
thoroughfares are macadamized and a
large portion of the sidewalks are con-
crete. The town prides itself on the
thousands of shade and fruit trees and
many beautiful yards and lawns.
Actual Farmers are needed to
help develop the irrigation by
raising Grain, Cattle and Hogs.
These wells in the
"Hereford country '
are delivering 1000
to 2000 gallons per
minute. The quanti-
ty of water is con-
trolled entirely by
the power applied
to the pump, not by
the water supply
5000 gallons per
minute can be de-
veloped from one of
these big wells.

Hereford is located in the center of a
large territory devoted to farming and
stock raising. Cattle, Sheep. Hogs,
Horses and Mules male up the list as to
stock and are named in the order of the
magnitude of each line. The farming
interests are large but most of the efforts
are devoted to the combination of farm-
ing and stock raising. The principal
crops are kafftr, milo maize, millet, oats,
wheat, sorghum on upland and alfalfa
in the valleys, but since the advent of
irrigation a large acreage of alfalfa is
being set on the up-lands.
THE SOIL No better, no richer, none
easier to till can be found anywhere
The level surface makes the preparation
of a farm easy, whether wanted for Dry
Farming or Wet Fatmtng The irriga-
tion ditches are as straight as the pro-
verbial "bee line" and the land needs
but little leveling.
Irrigation—the Water
Is as pure and clear as a crystal I he
Perfect Irrigation Water. Oieans
of \A<ater for Every Acre and when
you want it. The water is found at a
depth of from 10 to 10® feet and is
brought up by me'ns of turbine pumps
operated by high power oil engines
These pumps deliver under ordinary
conditions, from 1000 to 2000 gallons
pe-i minute. This amount of water will
irrigate from eight to fifteen acres per
day

■ow It Happened
In a certain little Southern town
there lives an old negro who is re-
garded as quite an oracle by the
other members of his race No
matter what occurs, he can always
tell them all about it and how it
happened Like ail negroes, &'•
loves high-sounding words and uses
in and out of season
Several years ago an earthquake
shook the town up pretty badl/ and
almost scared the colored civilation
into fits and provoked a great deal
of discussion as to what caused the
phenomena.
The question was put square up
to Uncle Zacfc, the oracle, and this
is how he explained it, to the entire 1
satisfaction ail concerned

"Just like paps's," little Jack re-
plied, "with a round hole at the

"Auot Polly," he saul, "don t
you know that the Good Book says
that nothing unclean can enter the
Kingdom of Heaven ? What will
you do when you are refused admit-
Unce because your breath is pol-
luted with tobacco? Now what
have you to say to that. Aunt Pol-
ly ?" he sternly demanded.
Aunt Polly puffed away while she
calmly looked the minister over
Then taking her pipe from her
mouth, she answered, "What I have
to say to that, young man, is that I
'spects to leave my breath behind
me when I goes to heaven."
