COTTON OIL MILL
ADDS MUCH TO
COUNTY WEALTH
Established in 1892, This
Mill Has Given Fine
Service
For more than forty years the Woni-
ble Oil Mill Company had been ren-
dering a service to the county, in the
manufacture of oil, cottonseed meal
and by-products, adding untold thou-
sands to the wealth of the Caldwell
trade territory.
KstabliBhed in 1802 the oil mill has
given satisfactory service year by
year, and this year, in order to co-
operate with the president's indus-
trial rucovery program, added sixteen
new employes. Instead of two 12-hour
shifts the mili has been operating ¡I
eight hour shifts, adding considerably
to its payroll.
II. O. Womble, manager, and one
of the owners of the Caldwell oil mil!
plant, stated today that the weekly
payroll amounted to $1000. He call-
ed attention to the fact that the mill
used only local men and that cotton
seed manufactured here adds to the
wealth of the county.
The mill has co-operated with the
industrial and agricultural develop-
ment of Burleson county, being one
of the principa' backers of the eounty
fair and the -hamber of commerce.
Its owners and employes take active
part tn all community undertakings
and can be depended upon for their
share whenever Burleson county needs
the united support of progressive citi-
zens.

The Burleson Co nty Burial Asso-
ciation, of which J no. W. Schiller is
I secretary, this week received a letter
from Mrs. P. M. (Kate) Bird, of Som-
erville, expressing her gratification
at the promptness of the asociation
in paying her claim for the death of
her late husband.
"Kindly accept my sincere thanks
for your promptness." the Somerville
lady wroU' Mr. Schiller, "tn settling
claim on acocunt of death of my hus-
band."
"It will always be a pleasure to
speak it good word for the Burleson
County Burial Association."
The papers lost when the Simpson
Grocery Store was robbed more than
| a week ago were recovered during
the past week within a block of Mr.
Simpson's home near the railroad
tracks.
All of the notes and checks so far
as it was possible to determine had
been recovered after a careful check-
up.
The cost to the store was cut down
¡considerably by the finding of the
papers and amounts to about $426.
The most of this $300 was what the
robbers got in cash. The balance re-
presents the replacement value of the
safe and other damage done by the
safe blowers.

'¡he way to do many things on the
farm in a better way, and this year
they are sure to spring some sur-
prises ii, the national coin growing
contest which is under way in 35
states. The only states not entered
are those in the extreme northeastern
section, the southwestern, and Flori-
da.
The contest is under the supervi-
sion of the state club tenders in each
state nnd contestants must grow at
least one acre, but may report on more
than one due to the varying condi-
tion in the different states. This is
jone of a nunber of contests developed
by the Na lonal Committee on Boys
and Girls Club Work and made possi-
ble only by scholarship and other
prizes provided by the Nelson Knitting
Company of Rockford, Illinois, due to
the friendly interest of this firm in
helping to readjust agricultural pro-
duction of the nation in line with na-
tional recovery.
Many club members nre expected to
show yields of 100 and more bushels
of corn per aere, and grown at a rela-
tively small increase in cost per ncrej
over the cost which many farm fields |
show for yields of but one-half or I
less. Anyone can see the club mem-1
ber's profit per bushel will be ma-1
terially higher. The club member's
saving will bo in the use of less land,
nnd the consequent saving in rental
or interest nnd tax charge and seed,
and the reduced labor of covering the
land. The time he saves in covering his
land can be devoted to other occupa-
tions or to leisure, and the study of
farm problems. All of these advan-
tages may be h.;d by the farmer who
raises more corn on his present or on
a reduced acreage. It is in this way
that 4-H contestants will point the
way to bettor corn production.
County winners will l>e announced
The Caldwell office, the manager
stated, is prepared to make the 10
cents advance allowed farmers in or-
der that they can hold their product
for a more favorable market.
Farmers wishing to avail them-
selves of the government's offer to
advance more than the present mar-
ket value of cotton are urged to get
in touch with the co-ops office in the
Jenkins building without delay.
The loans are made immediately up-
on application, Mr. Oliver stated.
Farmers are paid in cash at local
banks and there is no delay, only
things being necessary is for the far-
mer to properly store their cotton and
fulfill a few details. As quickly as
these are made to the satisfaction of
the co-ops the money is available.
Hundreds of county farmers are ex-
pected to take advantage of the gov-
ernment's advance plan and the co-ops
offices here will no doubt be busy for
the next several weeks in meeting the
demand, Mr. Oliver said.
Hundreds of extra copies of The
Caldwell News are being mailed
throughout Burleson eounty this week.
Those who receive the sample copies
are invited to read the News careful-
ly and to notice the countless number
of bargains being offered by thrifty
and progressive Caldwell merchante
to fair goers.
The edition is dedicated to the Bur-
leson county fnir and is being circulat-
ed in the hope that the citizens of the
county will fully appreciate the ad-
vantages of the agricultural exposi-
tion that will be held in this city
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
New readers1, of The News are ask-
ed to send in their subscription to the
paper, in the event they feel that it
is doing good work for the county and
meets with their idea of a real, live
and wide-awake publication. The sub-
scription price is only $1.50 in the
county and $2.00 outside Burleson.
Every loyal Burlesonian should re-
ceive the county paper and we hope
that our efforts in giving the citizens
of the county a creditable newspaper
will be rewarded by a substantially
increased circulation.
