The address of vv \ Abc> of I'orl
Worth In l'e Tiic.nln> afternoon, :in ac-
eount of which .ippeureil In Wednes-
day's Issue of The Hally i'olirler-tia-
nette. struck the proper keynote. No-
body wants to dletute to the tarnnr
w hat he shall Blow, nor anything else
he shall do. In the last analysis, thai
is "his business." lint, if the farmers
must call upon merchants and bunk-
er?' for assistance In a financial way.
they should handle their business ac-
cording to a system that will enable
them to pay for the substance which
they may borrow. Many merchants
all over the South have been forced
into bankruptcy during the present
season, because they could not collect
for goods which they had sold. A
number of big wholesale houses and
jobbing Institutions In the North and
East have lost their business, because
the retail merchants could not puy
their accounts, tin account of this
condition, it seems very probable that
credit extended to farmers may be
less this year than in previous years.
However, It should be very clearly un-
derstood that farmers can get a rea-
sonable amount of backing for enter-
prises which promise safe returns. Hut
credit for groceries and other eatables
which can be produced at home is not
based upon any dlrei t return from
the commodities sold. It must be
based upon the "money crop." Then
the "money crop" must supply the liv-
ing and take care of itself both, which
it has failed to do in hundreds of
cases during 'he last season. Now, If
the farmers will raise their meat, lard,
vegetables for home use during the
season and can a supply for use out
of season, keep a. cow or a number of
cows, raise chickens and turkeys, pigs,
sheep, baby beeves, and possibly a
mule or horse each season, the lining
end of his business will practically
care for itself. The "money crop"
will be able to abundantly care for
itself and for other reasonable neces-
sities of the family. J. H. Ferguson,
a McKinney man, who has a number
of tenants on his farm stated at the
meeting mentioned above, that he al-
ways encouraged iiis formers to have
gardens and allowed them all the land
they need for that purpose. Will not
all land owners do the suine, if their
tenants make a request for such land'.'
Has any farmer in Collin County been
denied the use of a small plot of land
for a garden spot? We are Inclined
to think no one has, though some
may have. Most land holders will al-
low a reasonable amount of land for
pens for hogs and other reasonable
necessities. The Dally Courier-Gazette
believes with Mr Abey that Texas will |
- njoy an era of unparalleled prosperl-|
ty, if she will only feed herself.
A HOY UIIO MADE MO.N'EY.
The best possible evidence I hut Mi -
l.ennun county farmer boys can make
money by Joining the "Uuy a Pig"
movement Inaiii'urated by the Waco
I'hambcr of Commerce is contained in
the fact thiil Vnrnou Quilllun, a young
lad of lloss, this county, began invent-
ing in pigs in the fall of I S 1H. Willi
the small sum of $."> and has already
sold $111! worth of hogs. The boy
won a prize of $1" for the best decora-
ted vehicle in the Corn and i'lg club
parade at the Cotton I'alacc in 1!) 1II
and with half "I this amount he pur-
i hast d a pig and started a little swine
business all his own.
It has required no special talent on
this boy's part to succeed, lie has
been economical, industrious and
wide-awake, watching his chances at
buying pigs, as w-ll as in selling thu
grown hogs. He has attended to
business while other boys have loiter-
ed, utul has made more clear money
off iiis hogs in the little more than a
year that he has been In that business
than many adult farmers have made
from their whole crop.
There are hundreds of other boys in
the county who can do Just as well as
Vernon has done if they will try. And
the chance for a trial under favorable
circumstances was never so good as
today, when the business men of the
city are willing to provide the pigs and
give the boys until full to pay for
them. Waco News.

profit by it.
Princeton voted $90,0G0 worth of
the road bonds last year, but has not
succeeded in selling them. Twenty-
four citizens have filed an injunction
against the county tax collector with
a view to preventing his collecting

twenty-four citizens will be sued for

WITH THE EXCHANGES.

The silo is the basis of success for
the small stock farmer. With It the
man of small means can raise stock
on a small scale successfully. The
men who have the vision to see and
the Judgment to gra p the opportuni-
ties offered them through the silo are
the men who will go forth to prosper-
ity. Their labors will not be un-
availing but will biing forth harvest
(ireeiiv ille IJann r.
The silo in Texas solving main
hitherto \iiiir problems on the farm,
in that it enable, and encourages the
planting of foragi imps and raising
live stock. A niglii or so ago we met
a I'ollln County man at a local hotel.
He was returning from Port Worth
where he hail been to purchase some
stock cattle. He declared that by di-
versification he was able to muke
more money than he possibly could do
raising cotton at any price. "And,"
said lie, "the silo on my farm lias en-
abled me to be fi from the vexa-
tions tiiat come to the man who rais-
es nothing but cotton.

Some more of the limelight for
Captain Kill McDonald, the Texas
ranger. Jle has Just presented thu ba-
by of the White House with his, the
baby's first pair of "britches," cow-
boy's of course. Thus does Cuptuin
Hill get into the center of the stage
again, and thus. Incidentally, does he
enshrine himself In tlio heart of
(irandpa Wilson something not to be
looked down oil, by I he way.—Ter-
rell Transcript,
You should remember that "Capt
Hill' is getting old, and with old ago
collies childishness again. He ha.s
long been consider* ■! a hero by many
Texans, and sine, having the ranger
force he n*cessarll> has to do some-
thing to keep lii the limelight. We ex-
pect to see him jump into tin
"movies" one of these days; his great
stunt of "charging hell with a bucki I
of water" would prove a thriller.
Willi evident good Intentions Gov-
ernor Ferguson has recommended a
bill providing thai all school books be
printed and bound In Texas anil to
that end a bill has been prepared to
comply and become effective after
September I, 1913. There are proba-
bilities of unforeseen I rouble in such
a law for the reason that the equip-
ment for doing such work In Texas Is
so limited as to subject us to the dan-
ger of high prices. We can't go upon
the theory that economy to which the
people are clearly entitled can be re-
alized by such legal restrictions to
competitive bids. The Texas taxpay-
ers who foot the bills are clearly en-
titled to the lowest price on this
enormous expensive work regardless
of who does the work. Corpus Christ!
Herald.
And why not Texas print her own
school books? What Is our State
printer for, any way? The State
might take over some big Texas olllce
and add the extra machinery neces-
sary for binding and book making. By
tills means the State printer would
earn his salary; more Texas printers
would have jobs, the children would
be supplied with cheap books and the
State freed from the octopus-like
clutch of the book trust. Maybe,
then Texas schools could have a uni-
form system of text books without so
many expensive changes.

With estimates of expenditures for
the coming fiscal year far In excess
of prospective revenues, administra-
tion leaders are convinced of the Im-
perative necessity of taking steps to
forestall the deficit that confronts
them. Present cstimale.s for expendi-
tures exceed estimated revenues by
approximately $(10,000,000.
One relief plan which may be laid
before Congress is the abandonment
of the $.14,000,000 river and harbor
appropriation bill and the adoption
of Postmaster General Burleson's sug.
gestlon for reducing the cost of rural
free delivery service from $2.o(i0,-
000 to $35,000,000 by putting carriers
on a contract basis. If Congress ac-
cepts this plan It would save $51,000-
000 and Is believed would avert all
possible embarrassment for the
present. If Congress also could be
Induced to reduce all aproprlatinn
bills so as not. to impair the efficiency
of the Government, it is believed a
possible extension of the limit on
the war tax would be avoided.
Other plans under consideration are
to cut the army and navy appropria-
tion bills and lower the income lax
exemption below $3,000.
