‘Plowing Under’ Thous-
ands of Farm Families
NEW ORLEANS—A mechenize-
ti,,n of the cotton kingdom, proceed-
ig. at a terrific pace, has displaced
thousands of farm families.
'*Moat rapid mechanisation has oc-
curred in the southwest, where Tex-
as farmers have added more than
7,000 tractors per year on the aver-
age for the pest decade.
The trend is widespread also in
the Old South. A WPA research re-
f>»rt shows that in the 1930-38 per-
iod the number of tractors increased
122 per cent in the western cotton
dheas; 127 per tent in the delta re-
gion, and 90 per cent in the eastern
cotton states.
All of this means that fewer
human beings are needed to produce
cottdn.
the Texas Agricultural
station, says:
“The displacement of from three
to five families by one tractor is
not uncommon. Assuming that one

tractor will displace one family only,
more ttian 60,000 farm families
have probably been displaced from
Texas farms since 1900.
"Many more to poor farms, un-
suited to cotton production with
tractors. A larger number migrate
to towns and cities to become com-
mon iaborert Many remain 'in the
open country as farm or common
laborers.
“The displaced family faces tho
prospect of a lowrr income. The
typical fart tenant in the high
n’.nins or tne blacklands may be
expected to earn a net income of
from $800 to $1,000 annually, even
Experiment
An expert economist writing in
recent magazine says: ‘‘All there ia
to financial success is taking in
more than you take out. When you
have mastered that you are on the
way to easy street.” Now if he could
only convince .lie state and national
governments of that fact he would
be a national benefactor.
Blown Out Fuses
Mean Trouble
It looks like the extinction of the
doves in Texas ia only a matter of
a short time. The state game com-
1 mission says that 4,000 hunters in
I one county (Willacy) killed 50..00')
I in two days’ hunting. It won’t
i take long at that rate for the dove
to disappear like the passenger pig-
eon did.
Whether the house is just being
wired for the first time or has had
an electric system for years, it’s
well for every adult member of the
family to understand that fuses, or
circuit breakers, are the safety
valves in the electrical system,
warns M. R. Bentley, agricultural
engineer for the A. and M. College
■Extension Service. The reason for
a fuse blowout may indicate a short
circuit or perhaps too many appli-
ances have been connected to one
circuit, bqf either bears investiga-
tion, Mr. Bentley says.
Snapping Turtle
Uses Subterfuge
Dame Nature hai many unusual
ways of aiding her children, but one
ot the most unique is reported by
the Game Department's chief aqua-
tic biologist. The alligator snapping
turtle gets part of its food through
subterfuge. It sings to the bottom
of a stream of lake and while re
maining perfectly quiet, extends its
tongue, whieh has an appendage
closely resembling both in size and
color an earthworm. 'Fish swim
along, spot the “worm" and seiz
it, being in turn grahbed by the
turtle, which makes a meal of it—

"Then I’ll let you go,” Bingham
said. "We’ll see you In the moun-

“And you’ll want the Bishop’s

This quip was hie last, for Anita
promptly fled, with Don not far
behind.
When they had left, Tony turned
to Bingham. "You mean they are
going to spend their honeymoon at
your place?”
"Yes, In the Adirondack#. I was
planning for winter sports, but —
why, you ought to be able to help

Tim Meddlin says: “It hain’t hard
to git a man to jine the church
after his doctor tells him his heart
is in a bad fix.”
A pastor (no matter which one)
says that one of the hardest jobs
he has is to preach on foreign mis-
| sions when he sizes up the need of
home missions in his own church.
This advice was given by an old
negro to his grandson after visiting
the fair and seeing the merry-go-
round: “Son, ef you take the merry-
go-round of life you won’t have as
successful a trip as you do by tak-
in’ a trip on a flyin’ jinny. By ridin’
j one of dera you gits off whur you
I started but the merry life gits you
wrecked ’fore you git whur you
started.”
A returned missionary from Foo-
chow, China, compiled a list of
curses the Chinese wished on their
enemies from which here are a few:
May you be cut in pieces and be
fried in boiling oil. /
May your tongue be cut out!
May all your children die!
May the crows pick out your
1 eyes!
May your body be eaten hy^dop!
May your whole family be jam-
med into one coffin!
May your family be too poor to
bury you and throw your body to'
the hogs!
George Washington was eternally
right when he told us to mind our
own business and ''keep out of Eu
lope’s quarrels. But ft is the fash
ion now to regard the Constitution
I and Washington’s admonitions as old
, stuff, both were never more up to
1 the minute than they are today.
! A New Jersey mrn and his wife
i have parted by rrut.’rl consent. She
objected because he chewed tobacco
and he soured on her because she in-
sisted on kissing the cat. There will
he adverse opinions as to which of
this pair had the better taste.
Tim Meddlin’ say: “I have found
out the- wurld doesn’t keer much
’brut what I say but is watchin’
purty close what 1 do.”
As the circus is coming to my
Town it reminds me of a man in my
neighborhood when I was a boy who
sold the family cook stove to buy
circus tickets for the family. He
explained why he did it by saying:
“We hain’t got much to cook no-
how.”
