TO AVOID SMUT
STERILIZE SEED WHEAT
DEFORE PLANTING
Fanners can pot afford to take
chances in sowing wheat that may he
affected with smut. A crop of wheat
^ that is free of smut that would yield,
say twenty bushels to the acre, and
be worth 11.00 a bushel, would, if
affected with smut, yield only ten or
twelve bushels per acre and be worth
not to exceed 60c per bushel. It is
plain to be seen that if smut devel-
ops in a crop that it means ruin, so
far as any profit is concerned. It
costs very little to treat seed wheat
before planting and is a positive
guarantee against loss by smut, which
is In this section the greatest menace
we have to the crop, not excepting
drouth. There are many conditions
that the farmer ha8 no control over
that may harm his grain crop, but
the smut can absolutely be controlled,
and a farmer that has smut in hl.i
jgheat next year has it simply be-
dtoaaa he did not do his full duty to
Avoid it
) Cure tor Smutt.
In response to a telegram sent
aut by the Chamber of Commerce
Ae following telegram has been re-
ceived. Tt would be worth while for
every farmer to clfp it out and paste
ft up where it would not be destroy-
ed. It is worth its weight in gold.
College Station, Nov. 23, 191 4.
To Chamber of Commerce,
Coleman, Texas.
Treatment for smut in small grain
is to soak seed grain in formalin, one
pint of commercial strength, to
forty-five gallons of water. This
may be either used in a barrel or
sprinkled over a pile of seed; in eith-
er case every seed should be wetted,
and allowed to soak for an hour and
a half to two hours, then spread out
to dry and plant.

DAY RANCH COMPANY
TO COLONIZE BELGIANS
The following is taken from a tel-
egram to the United Press, under
Kansas City date line, which will be
of interest to many ol our readers:
“Arrangements for placing fifty,
Belgians, refugees of the European
war, on his six thousand-acre ranch
in Coleman county, Texas, are being
made by J. '/. Miller, Jr.. Federnl re-
serve agent and chairman of the
hoard of directors of the Kansas City
Federal Reserve Bank.
“I cannot say at this time just how
the Belgians are to be transported
to this country,’’ Miller said today.
“That is being arranged by a Bel-
gian priest, who lives in Oklahoma.
But the refugees from the cock pit
of Europe, who have lost their homes
and their all, are to land at Galves-
ton. I expect them to inc'uie fifteen
men, heads of families, and tb« rest
women and children.
“I shall conduct them to my ranch
and sell them land in eighty-acre
tracts, to be paid over a long term
of years. I shall supply the horses,
farming implements, seed, cows,
sheep, hogs and chickens to start
them on their way to building and
owning their homes in this coun-
try.
“When the Belgian family gets on
the land, penniless, I shall see that
it has ample means by which to work
out its own salvation. I have great
faith in the Relgian. He is thrifty,
frugal and courageous.”

Little Rock, Arkansas, Nov. 23.
Mi. T. E. Garrett, Vice-President,
Chamber of Commerce, Coleman,
Texas.
Dear Sir: Your letter and petition
under date of November 10th has
been forwarded to Little Rock for
our attention. Will say that Prof,
Holden apd the writer visited Tem-
ple, Fort Worth and Dallas to see if
the people in that section really mean
business regarding the campaign for
diversification of crops. It seems
that they are very much • interested,
although it has not been definitely
decided to put op the campaign, but
it now looks as though a campaign
will be put on in Texas, beginning
January 11th, and covering two and
possibly three weeks, not more than
three weeks at the outside. The line
up that the Texas people had was
something like this—to cover the
Santd Fe Railroad from Red River on
the north, down to Fort Worth, Tem-
ple and to Austin, going back over
the Knty through Dallas to Denison.
Now, it seems that Coleman is quite
a ways west from this line, but froiYi
the fact that the plans are not per-
fected, we would not want to say just
where the campaign will run. Prof.
Holden wishes me to especially
that-!, you for the. kind invjtiitio!i,
and wants you to extend to every
signer of that petition his sincere
thanks for their interest in this
matter. When you stop to think of
the vast number of invitations we
have, which covers Arkansas, Texas,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and
practically all of the Eastern states,
you can readily appreciate that our

The greatest asset of any man is his credit; and
it is made or marred by the man himself. The sureSt
way for one to build up this coveted asset is for him to
pay every dollar he can whenever he can, on whatever
indebtedness he may have. In otHbr words, “come
clean” with .the man he owes. When this is done the
community is not long finding it out and he has a cred-
it standing, good as far as it goes. This hank takes
off its hat to the man who thus conducts himself and
stands ready to lend him assistance which otherwise
would he withheld.
