An Understanding Of The City Council's
Problems Is Needed
Not too lonjj; ago, there was KoiiiK around in our city
a great wave of tlissention about the things that were being
or not being done by the city governing body, the city coun-
cil. We as citizens are now in dire need of thinking about
this body and its responsibilities of running our city and
the safeguards of our populace before we get too strenuous
in our denunciation of its policies. We have now gotten to
the point where we as friends, in a small town have begun
to hurl insinuations and remarks at our friends with total
disregard of fellowship and cooperation which we pledged to
this body when we elected them to the office.
There were heard rumors of fradulent elections; get-
ting the council to resign, and many other harsh remarks
which were said in moments of thoughtlessness and anger.
These men are fellowmen just like all of us and their ie-
sponsibility to the city as a whole is more important than
it will ever be to one individual or to any gi;oup of individuals,
whether they be business men or whether they be common
working people in our city. At that time the hard feeling was
rampant in some factions in the city, and it came up over total
strangers coming into our town and split us up more quickly
than people who have lived here all their lives could ever
split us up. So let think about it; What was this furor
about? Who has brought it on? Wasn't there some way
it could have been remedied without all that dissention and
remarks which brought hard feelings among friends, and
ccased long standing friendships which we will regret when
this particular issue has long been forgotten? Was it the
thought of money which split us? Did money coming be-
tween our good judgment and our own selfish desires?
These men whom we have elected to our offices must
have the support of our people before they can carry out
their duties to the utmost of their abilities. It has been
pointed out to the surrounding cities just how quarrels such
as these can ruin a town or a community. After we have
had our showdown and our words, lets now get alter the
business of seeing good in the efforts of our City Council
and get behind them 100 percent. Theirs is a thankless job,
the money they receive wouldn't pay for the cigarettes the
average man smokes in three days. So they are doing it toi
us, for you and 1, and for the city. Don't they deserve a
pat on their back for having the courage to do the things
for the city they have done without having the benefit of
any city funds to carry them out? Look at our streets—
they were first thought of by the Mayor and the Council;
and with a will, they began to work out a way to do it. Look
at the maintainer; it came out of the thoughts of this City
Council mindful that no funds were available. Do they stop?
No, they have vision and aren't afraid of work. We should
stay behind a team like that in almost all of its convictions.
I admire them for the prgoress we have made in spite
of the lack of encouragement from all sources in our city.
More power to them for a greater Wylie in the l ature.

Farmers Advised
To Feed The Land
With Good Legumes
COLLEGE STATION, Sept. 23
—Food, home and drink are
things plunts need as well as
people do. If Texas farmers will
apply the slogan "Feed the land
and fatten the crops", plants will
get all three of these things they
need for growing and producing
profitable yields.
E. A. Miller, extension agrono-
mist of Texas A. & M. College,
says that it's1 impossible to pro-
duce good crops without enough
plant food, no matter how good
the seed are or how you plow,
plant, cultivate and harvest. Be-
sides tfiis plant food, plants need
a good home in which to live and
plenty of water to drink.
One of the best ways you can
provide these plant needs' is to
feed the land with well-inoculated
and fertilized legumes. They not]
only supply plant food, especially
the high-priced and badly needed
nitrogen, but also make a better
home for the plants by adding
organic matter to the soil when
plowed urider. More than this,
legumes provide more water for
plants by making the soil able to
hold more water. They increase
the water-holding capacity of the
soil.
Many experiments and demon-
strations have been made on this
business of feeding the land. Let's
take a look at the results: Up on
the East Texas Experiment Sub-
stations at Nacogdoches and Ty-
ler, hairy vetch boosted cotton
yields over 100 pounds per acre,
and doubled the corn yield at the
Tyler station.
At the Temple Substation in
the blackland ared of Texas, cot-
ton following hubam sweetclover
—which was harvested for seed
—yielded a five-year average of
315 pounds of lint per acre, You
can compare this with 165 pounds
from land where cotton was
grown continuously without clo-
ver rotation. Clover also upped
corn yields 10 bushels per acre. I
The blackland area of Texas has I
lots of trouble with cotton root j
rot. This disease took a heavy
toll agnin this year on many of
the farms in this area where clo-
ver was not used in rotation. So
far, the best way cotton farmers
have found to build up yields
and cut down on cotton root rot
is by means of sweetclover —
hubam, Madrid and annual yel-
low blossom. The latter one main- j
ly in South Texas and the Gulf
Coast Prairie.
Other legumes that do the job
of building up yields and re-
ducing losses from root rot are
hairy vetch, Willomette vetch
and winter peas. But they don't
do the job quite as well as sweet-
clover, s'ays Miller.
The reason for this is probably
because the clover opens up the
soil more because of its wide,
deep root system. This aerates
the soil and allows water to soak
further into the ground. Another
reason clover is considered better
to the soil, says Miller.
is because it adds more nitrogen
