half war prices for what we sell. Sup-
ply anil demand have little effect on
the present prices for necessities of
life.
We have some hope for more Just
freight rales by the railroads, in the
fact thai I hey are not competing with
ox or mule teams, hut with the aulo
truck, which ean deliver ihe goods
quicker and cheaper than they are do-
ing. These modern conveniences are
not hindered by strikes. Farmers can
be comparatively independent if they
will raise most of (heir living on the
farm. The man who sells corn at
present prices and buys meal ai mar-
ket prices is not wise. You can never
buy meat cheaper than you can raise
ii on lite farm.
Miss Fannie Martin

Mr. and Mrs. I.elaml llulbet-l. of

During the war she became possess''
of a desire lo serve Ihe government,
in those trying days and went to
Washington where she held a post
Hon for more than a year. After
war lite government desired her ser-
vices continued and she was trans-
ferred to Snn Francisco where for two
years she has held a good position
with the government. H was there
that she met Mr. Hulbert some two

The Collin County Jersey Club Is
composed of only breeders of regis
tered Jersey cattle. While It is till
auxiliary of the parent organl'iiition,
the Collin County Purebred Livestock
Association anil will will work In har-
mony with that organisation, yet, It
Is Independent of all other organiza-
tions and will devote lis attention
only to the interests of registered Jer-
sey eattle breeding and breeders. Col-
lin county has fast forged to the front
in the breeding unil production of
registered Jersey cattle. At present,
there are perhaps more herds doing
Register of Merit work than In any
other county of the stale, so County
Farm Agent (1. D. Everett stated,
lireeders all over the county arc
realizing the benefits accruing from
Register of Merit work or testing anil
more of them are beginning to test
their milk cows every month, in this
munner, the "boarders," or unprofit-
able milk and butter cows are dis-
covered and weeded out. Only the
liest cows thai can stand the test are
retained. The breeders are benefited
in two ways by testing—In produc-
tion of milk anil butter per cow and
value nf the offspring of the good
cows.
Renewed Interest Is noticeable
among the Collin county Jersey incn
no account nf the annual meeting of
the Texas Jersey Cattle Club to be
held at MeKlnney early In next
month when tunny of the leading
lireeders from almost every section of
the stale will ussemble in our city.
