THE BANNER-LEDGER, FRIDAY NOVEMBER 9, 1917.
A CORRECTION
Ballinger, Nov. 3,1917.
Editor Ledger:
In your issue of 2nd, inst., ap-
pears my son, Roscoe Hall Stocks,
having been exempted for depend-
ent parents, and as the Ledger is
not at fault, I would desire to
state that my son never claimed
exemption for dependent parents.
The facts are he volunteered and
enlisted at San Angelo, Texas, last
summer, and was sent to El Paso
for examination, where the medi-
cal officer rejected him as totally
unfit for service, from somnambu-
lism.
He was afterwards called for
service and accepted by the local
board, although he furnished a
doctor’s certificate and other evi-
dence that he was addicted to
sleep-walking.
I wish to say that I have no de-
sire to be dependent on any of my
family, and have informed my son
to do his duty and if the disease
did not trouble him any more, for
him to go ahead where ordered.
It is but just that I make the
foregoing statement, as it makes,
a false impression and should
stand corrected.

Washington, Nov. 3.—To win
the war we need more meat. To
get an increased meat supply
quickly hog breeding must be in-
creased materially throughout the
country, and in certain Stales an
increase of from 25 to 50 per cent
in lhe number of hogs is recom-
mended by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
The situation is of great import-
ance. We must have plenty of
meat for our armies and the armies
of the allies in the field, and suf-
ficient meat for our civilian pop-
ulation and the civilian population
of the allies at home.
To have this meat, breeding an-
imals must reproduce themselves
so the offspring will be available
for slaughter in the future.
Hogs can be increased quicker
than any other kind of live stock.
Therefore a larger number of
sows must be bred NOW, than in
recent years.

** was a bill proposed in the legislature to force the farmers to mark the 3,800,000
bales of Texas cotton with these tags at ten cents each ? WHY ?
“For the good of the farmer”—so said the legislator who introduced the bill. Do
you believe it?
These tags at Vac each would have cost $19,000. At 10c each they would have cost
$380,000. That would have made a minimum profit for somebody of $361,000! SOME
profit!
Who do you believe would have benefited from this bill—the farmer or the man who
made the tags?
