The above will bring from
million to two millon dollars
into the hands of the growers
all along through the year and
not seriously affect our usual
production of cotton and corn.
Ask any of our linkers and
credit merchants if this amount
of money scattered along throu-
ghout the year would not large
ly put the country on a cash
basis and tend to make our fa-
rmers independent and business
men and women.
We have not in this article
inflated prices but rather mini-
mized what can be done by the
farmers of this country. Nor
have we suggested acreages
that we don't feel our business
connections cannot take care of.
Farmers, let's get a vision, get
an ideal and begin now to work
it out for next year and the
years to come. We can make

than the fast growing and de-
veloping but uncertain West
Texas plains, letter than the
ow coastal plains, better
even than the magic, irrigated
ands of the Rio Grande Valley,
from its mouth to its source.
We have seen all of them and
feel as safe in this position as
any that we have ever taken,
jet's fall in love with our coun-
try, if we are not already, and
with one another and work to
gether to realize the things a-
bove pointed out. We will then
begin to enjoy life and the bless
ings this country hold in store
for us. —W. A. Nabors.

The Edelweiss Club met last
week with Mrs. M. D. McWhor-
ter at the home of Mrs. H. I.
Wilcoxson. Thr lesson study
for the day was, A Doll s
House," by ftsen- Mrs- Solon
Wvlie was the teacher. Aft<r a
verv interesting discussion, rie
licious refreshments were serv-
ed, consisting of boiled cus-
tard, sandwiches, coffee and
cake. The club met yesteiday
evening with Mrs. Paul Ord.
Knowing how to breed, feed,
t.sd weed are the • essential
tilings in profitable pou:a>
raising. No scrub livestock is-
profitable to the owner and poul
try is no exception, and stan-
dard bred fowls cost no more
in upkeep than the scrub. Then
there is the feed question. A
good hen is just an egg produc
ing machine and the' best hen
in the world can't manufacture
without eating the food ele
ments that it takes to make an
egg anymore than a grist mill
can make com meal without
putting corn in the hopper.
Knowing how to detect and
weed out or cull the broader
hens also. The season of high
priced eggs is approaching and
the , poultryman > who knows
and practices breeding, feeding
and weeding will reap the pro-
fits.
Some would have you to be
lieve that it is too soon to be
gin making preparations for
the 192(5 crop, but if you will
watch the maneuvers of the
most successful and progressive
farmer in your community you
will find him busy right now,
looking for better seed, getting
information about fertilizers
and better implements, terrac-
ing his hillside and rolling lands
and breaking land and sowing
winter cover crops.
A co-operative marketing
organization is a mighty good
thing for farmers or any other
class who have something to
sell, but no organization can
market scrub livestock or a
quarter of a bale less of cotton
at a profit. Get into the More
Cotton on Fewer Acres for 19?6
and show your self that increas-
ed acreage production means
more profit on the outlay of
money and labor. Select your
five acres right now and begin
fut ,-ttic? contest. VOI!
have a'l to gain and nothing to
lose.
A mighty good home-made
mash feed for laying hens can
be made by mixing 100 pounds
each of corn meal, gray shorts
and wheat bran with about <10
pound of cotton Reed meal. Mix
well and keep before hens at
all times in trough in ,n, dry pla-
ce. This in addition to about a
pound of grain scratch per day
for every ten hens, with plen-
ty of pure water at all times,
and dry well ventilated quar-
ters should bring good hen pro-
duction. Provided, of course
that you have good standard
bred hens.
It doesn't cost any mora to
plant and cultivate a full stand
of any crop than it does to
plant and cultiva'.j a half a
stand, and a full stand will j '-
eld half as much as half a stand
Why, then, waste time, labor
and money on poor seed? In-
different seed selection as to
variety and germinating power
is one of the costliest habits
that a farmer can form. Don't
wait until planting time, either
to get your seed, rto it now.
Old man Si Sorghum, who
lives over in Smith county, says
thnt the big rains last week,
dern near ruined his twenty
arce field across the road in
front of the house. He started
to terrace it last winter but
just kept putting it off till it
was too late, and was shore
amin' to do it this fall just as
soon as cotton picking was o-
ver when here come the bin
rain, and now you just ought
to see it. To cap it all. the Farm
Loan Appraiser comes along and
says he won't loan him a dol-
lar on it till that land is pro-
perly terraced. .All the -othc i
papers are fixed up and now la-
has to wait till the county a-
gent can get to him, and the
Lord only knows when that
will be because there are about
forty applications ahead of him.

ors should be used for covering
a speakers desk, draping over
the frun* of « —•} fr>i-
fiecorauon in general. Bunting
should be - arranged with the
blue above, the white in the
middlo and the red below.
Salvte to the Flag
During the ceremony of hoist
ing or lowering the flag or
when the flag is passing in a pa
rnde or in a review, all persons
present should face the flag,
stnnd at attention and salut
Those in uniform should render
the right hand salute. When not
in uniform the nnn should re-
move the headdress with the
right hand and hold it at the
left shoulder. Women should
salute by placing the right hand
over the heart. When the Na-
tional anthem is playtd those in
uniform should salute at the
first note of the anthem, retain-
ing this position until the last
note of the anthem. When not

hats and salute as in the flag.
Women should render the salute
as to the flag. When there is no
flag displayed all should face
toward the music.

The discipline is the most
beautiful thing in the place,
many of the students demonstra
ted in the class rooms their a-
bility in the sciences, literature,
mathematics, Latin and other
studies they are pursuing in the
institution. Prof. Erwin and his
wife who is a teacher, deserve
the greatest praise and respect
for their sacrifice they are
making for their race in fit-
ting them for the realities in
life, and the teachers, christian
men and women, also deserve
the praise due them for their
sacrifice and sturdy way in
which they are doing service
'or the race. The school should
be visited by all says Rev.
Swift.

On Tuesday, Oct 27, the
Young Ladies of the Methodist
Church met at the home of
Mrs. Tom Mack to honor Mrs.
Oscar McCary with a farewell
party.
Gathered in the artistic liv-
ing room made cheerful by cut
flowers, ferns and a merrily
crackling fire, we talked of
many interesting things. We
carefully avoided the one sub-
ject we dreaded, that of losing
one of our co-workers and
friends.
After several interesting
games and delightful refresh-
ments appropriate to the fall
season, Mrs. McCary was pre-
sented with a piece of silver as
a token of our esteem for her
and our regret at losing her.
We very sorrowfully bade Sy-
bil good-bye and watched her
drive away.
Mr. and Mrs. McCary have
gone to Sherman for awhile lie-
fore locating and we regret
