Believe In Terracing

Better Living Contest

in Wichita Falls wiifti his

SHAME on you, Facts did hear
the sermon, too. He followed the
discourse approvingly. The theme,
“The Fatherhood of God” was being
applied beautifully and effectively
by the pastor as he concluded the
second division of the discourse. And
like the unannounced visit of a
mother-in-law, the twelve o’clock
siren sounded. The pastor paused,
then hastened to conclude his mes-
sage. Facts is opposed to Sunday
sirens except in case of dire distress.
When Facts gets all bathed, dressed
up, and puts on his Sunday sanc-
timonious look and is in good com-
pany with the pastor and a message,
lie objects to being disturbed. A
siren is all right and should be
sounded in case of property fires,
but when a minister is fighting the
other kind of fire, the siren has no
business meddling. It has not.
Remembering that 87 demonstra-
tors averaged above $550 per farm
by filing the score card with the
county and home demonstration
agents in the Better Living Demon-
stration Contest during 1932, and
that 4-H pantry products alone aver-
aged $211.60 per farm, a host of
farmers are enrolling for a similar
but enlarged farming program for
1933. Since enrollments should be
completed during March and April,
farmers are invited to notify the
agents at once if they plan to
0ai’ry on their farms the work that
proved so profitable to the 87 dem-
onstrators last year. The agents
visit each farm and go cai*efully
over methods that have been found
profitable when followed by other
'Young county farmers.
The enrollment is free and in
many cases no additional expense
whatever is incurred in carrying out
the plans for the attractive profits.
