How Mr. Morgan can offer so
much for so little is at once con-

there is no magic. He is a show-

Only Eight Farmers In Ter-
ritory Apply For Loan,
Sep Smith Says
Time limit for securing of loans
through the Emergency Crop Pro-
duction Loans, will expire on May
1, Sep Smith said Monday. Those
wishing, to make application for this
loan must have their applications in
by. the first of May.
Only_eight applications for the e-
mergency loans have been taken at
Crosbyton, Mr. Smith said and four
of the checks have already been re-
ceived. It takes only 8 or 9 days in
wFiTch~td"get cTiecks on these loans"
A very few loans have been maJe
over the county.
Farrtfgt's ~SFe not borrowIng rnon3 y,
Mr. Smith said. "We are buying a-
bout $100 an hogs daily," he said,
"and this with other income the far-
mer is receiving, but little money is
needed to be borrowed. "
LOCAL COMMITTEE
TO GIVE ALLOTMENT
The question has arisen, Cline E.
Morris, county agent said her Mon-
day, as to where farmers shcu'd get
their allotments for their 1934-85
cotton contracts.
These allotments must be received
through the local committee of each
community, and only through thes?
committees can they be received, Mr.
Morris stated. "

RALLS VOTES DRY
Qther Communities To Be
Organized In Short Time
Cline E. Morris Says; 60
Boys In Clubs Now
Seven 4-H clubs have been organ-
ized in the county during the past
two weeks by Cline E. Morris, ^coun-
ty agent, Mr. Morris reports. Clubs
Ulfj~ 1 .CilttlcrWth irj-
Smith, Canyon Valley, Owens, Cone
a;nd Lorenzo.
Mr. Morris said that he expected
to contact Crosbyton, Ralls, Caprock,
and Robertson for the purpose of or-
ganizing clubs. About 60 boys con-
stitute the group in the seven com-
munities organized.
There will be from 25 to 40 more
boys in the county yet to be organiz-
ed' into clubs, Mr. Morris said. Pres-
ident and secretary for each club
were elected.
The projects of the different clubs
are varied, including projects in poul-
try, hogs, crops of all kinds, as corn,
feed, cotton, etc. The problem with
the clubs starting off is financing
the organizations, which necessarily
takes some money, Mr. Morris said.
The primary purpose of the 4-11
clubs is for demonstration on a large
scale for the farmers of the commun-
ity to take notice of the achieve-
ments.

DA\
FEEDERS DAY SPUR
EXPERIMENT STA.
Project Is Feeding Out Cat-
tle on Rough Feeds Of
West Texas
The All West Texas Feeders' day
will be held at the Spur Experiment
Station on May 4. At this time the
final results of a 112-day feeding test
in which 100 standard steer yearl-
ings, divided into lots of ten, will be
announced.
Last year representatives from 31
counties were present at the Spu"
Station Feeder's day and indications
are that there will be this year a
larger attendance from more coun-
ties than in any former year. There
appears to be a new and widespread
interest in a fuller and more intell -
gent use of West Texas feeds.
The experiments conducted at the
Spur Station were planned for &
special study of farm feeding a few
head but the results are applicable in
commercial feeding. Some of the pro-
blems being stS5die<t are:
(1) Does it pay to grind-milo
heads ?
(2) Is .silage more profitable than
dry roughage?
(3) Can cotton seed be used in a
ration for fattening bsef steers?
(4) Can cotton seed be used to re-
place a portion of the grain ration ?
(5) How much mineral should be
a^ded to' the rationr
(6) Can roughage be profitably
fed without grinding?
Every effort is beinir put forth at
the Spur Station to develop means
for reducing the cost of finishing
cattle for the market. West " TVitub
produces large quantities of rough
feeds, cotton seed and c'ottonsa«d
meal as well as grain but the grain
cxpp is sometimes short. It is very
important therefore to secure t'ie
maximum gains and finish with min-
imum grain.
The cattle used in this test w&re
purchased as short yearling^ . March
1933, and weighed 412 pounds. They
will go to market well finished wegh
lfif? 1100 pounds or approximately
700 pounds gain with.a total grain
bill during the 14 months of approx-
imately 1500 pounds of milo hears,
the equivalent of 1126 pounds of
grain. Sudan and alfalfa pastures;
bundle feeds, silage, cotton ceed and
cottonseed mill and cake have been
used in preliminary feeding to se-
cure cheap gains. ^
Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Huito of Mata-
dor are here for the summer.

Mrs. J. Homer Beal and son, Bob-
bie of the Beal ranch near Gail were
