SMITH COUNTY A WINNER
AGAIN—IN MID-OCEAN
Fred J. Sackett Scores a Hit Pro-
claiming to Fellow Passengers of
the Goodness of Texas
Not a few of our readers are find-
ing much interest in the travel stories
appearing in this paper from Mr.
Fred J. Sackett of Bullard who with
his wife is travelling in the Mediter-
ranean countries. One of Mr. Sackett’s
article appears in this issue, and
others will appear from time to time
as our space permits. Mr. and Mrs.
Sackett are making the cruise upon
the “Empress of France”, one of the
palatial vessels that ply between
America and Europe, and the passen-
ger list on the present cruise, which
will require 100 days, is composed of
representatives from 36 of our states,
three provinces of Canada, and some
from other countries. The following
story is supplied to us from the “Pro-
motion Editor” of the cruise who we
suppose is the publicity man for- the

of France,” held on Feb. 17, Fred
J. Sackett, register on the ship’s list
from Bullard, put Texas and Smith
county on the map to stay—and made
the hit of the evening. The program
was someWhat lengthly, there being
representatives from 36 states of the
Union, three provinces of Canada, and
onh from Scotland. The entertain-
ment was highly interesting as a
whole and was replete with wit and
polished repartee. But even so, in-
terest lagged somewhat until Mr.
Sackett, who with Mrs. Sackett are
the only Texans on board, was called
to present the claims of Texas for
first place.
Mr. Sackett’s time being limited, he
first revived the enthusiasm that
characterized the first part of the
program by admitting every claim
for every other state by every boos-
ter, and claiming the right to have
his statements accepted upon the
same basis. He offered to go any
claim made for any other state one
better—and stood ready to prove it.
His offer to loan the Texas Peniten-
tiary to Ohio, whose delegates indi-
cated need in that line for his state,
brought down the house when Sackett
said that Texas is not using hers
much now. He fired a heavy bat-
tery at New York and asked all New
Yorkers who had any bricks with
them to keep their hands in sight
while he told the Club that Texas
now stands first in the value of its
exports, having wrested that honor
from New York within the past year.
He told them that Texas stands first

Star state stands first in the value

and better roads than any other state,
notwithstanding the fact that one or
two million dollars of the road funds
have' not been “fully” accounted for.
In proof of the fact that Texas is
the largest state, the voyager told
his hearers that it contains nearly
one-tenth of all the land' in the United
States, and stirred the audience to
prolonged applause by reminding
them that Texas is big enough to take
within its borders the states of Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island,
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio. In-
diana, Maryland, Deleware, District of
Columbia and part of Virginia—and
that if they were all put into a sack
with Texas and shaken up, no one
could find any of them.

GIVE CROP A GOOD STA|tT
“A crop well-planted is half made”,
is a saying which contains a great
deal of truth. In making prepara-
tions for this year’s crops there are
two big facts that should be remem-
bered: first, the quality of seed will
have a great deal to do with the qual-
ity and yield; second, the soil must be
the home of the plant and must give
e plant its food.
These two factors, seed and soil,
will determine whether you^get a
stand. Therefore, be sure your seed
are sound, that they are of a suitable
variety and pure, and that plenty of
seed are planted. It is better to use
too many seed than not enough.
But an abundance of good seed will
not insure a stand on soil that is in
poor condition for planting. Thor-
ough preparation, good seed, and
proper fertilization will put the young
crop in good condition to pay for the
cultivation that must be given to it.
