Having to dig up old cotton
production records has been turn-
ed to good advantage by Goliad
County farmers who tell the coun-
ty agent they are learning more
about the business side of their
operations than they ever knew
before. They have found out that
their past guesses on acreage and
production have been wide of the

For Improvement Of Home Food
Supply.
The Harris County home dem-
onstration council has planned
definitely to see that in 1934 every
rural home maker in the county
has an opportunity to improve her
food supply during the year, us-
ing the Extension Service stand-
arils as the basis of her work, ac-
cording to the chairman of the
council’s expansion committee.
Maps of each community will
be made for each home demon-
stration club which will show the
residences of the rural women
who are not members of home
demonstration clubs already. The
council’s plan is to divide these
non-club members among the clud
members, each club woman hold-
ing herself responsible for carry-
ing information to the non-club
member who has been listed to
her.
In addition to this, ten food
preservation clubs will he organ-
ized among these 11011-club mem-
bers to be helped by the home
demonstration agent as well as
the 4-1T pantry demonstrators.
Each club in the county will hold
three big open canning demon-
strations in the unorganized com-
munities that are nearest the club.
(best cotton producers, but many
i comparatively infertile upland
cotton fields well fertilized and
cultivated and planted to good
seed are showing even better
yields. The best single cotton
field in the county is not in the
river bottom but in the north part
of the black upland section. Its
average yield of lint is easily 100
pounds per acre better than the
river section land, says the coun-
ty agent. The cotton campaign
will lead to more farm accounting
by fanners, he predicts.

FIFTY FAMOUS
FRONTIERSMEN
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON
The “Original Buffalo Bill”
A SK the average American who was
ax the "original Buffalo Bill" and he
Will answer, “Why, William F. Cody,
of course!" But he’s wrong. For
there were at least two men who bore
that title long before Cody made It
world-famous.
One of them was William Matthew-
son of Wichita, Kan. According to the
story, in 1800, the year of the great
drought, when grasshoppers blackened
the skies and ate up all the crops, the
early settlers of that section would
have starved had It not been for Mat-
thewson, a buffalo hunter, who went
out repeatedly and sent back wagon-
loads of buffalo meat to feed them. In
gratitude for this they gave lilr* the
title of “Buffalo Bill." y'
Years later, when Cody had become
famous under that title, some of Mat-
thewson’s friends advanced his claims
to being the "original Buffalo Bill" and
that claim was not very successfully
refuted by Cody partisans.
Another Just claimant to the title,
In that the application of It to him
antedated Its application to Cody, was
William Comstock, a native of Wis-
consin who was something of a "mys-
tery UIUU U1 LHC 11CUL1CL. VVUISLUl'K
had been a pony express rider and In
the late sixties he was owner of a
ranch on Bose creek near Fort Wal-
lace, Kan. He served as a scout and
guide during the Indian war on the
southern plains in 1867-60 and had
gained such renown as a buffalo hunt-
er that the officers at Fort Wallace
called him "Buffalo Bill" Comstock.
In the meantime William F. Cody,
who had done some scouting for the
troops at Fort Ellsworth and Fort
Fletcher, had become a hunter for the
contractors who were supplying the
meat for the laborers then building
the Kansas Pacific railroad westward.
Cody’s success as a hunter led to hla
being dubbed “Buffalo Bill” by the
laborers, g
Then followed the fam'oas buffalo-
killing match between Oody and Corn-
stock. arranged by the army officers
at Forts Wallace and Hays, fot “the
championship of the world," and Oody,
having won the match, was hailed aa
THE “Buffalo B1H," a Utle which the
public aoon confirmed. But this does
not mean that he waa "the original
Buffalo BUL" Both William Matthew-
son and William Comstock had a bet-
ter right than Cody to that title.
The end of Matthewaon Is unknown,
but Comstock’s career ended tragical-
ly a few months after Ms match with
Cody when ha fell a victim to Indian
treachery In the camp of Chief Tur
key Leg of the Cheyennes. .
