"SERVICE THAT’S RIGHT”
WHAT OTHERS ARE DOING
By W. M. Free, Field Editor
START FEEDING THE HENS
Now is the time to start feeding
the hen and pullets, getting then in
condition for fall and winter laying.
Successful poultrymen know that
under-nourished hens and pullets can
not compete in egg production with
the better fed birds. It would also
be worthwhile to see that the flock
is not infested with worms which is
today the poultryman’s forst enemy.
There is now on the market a ready
prepared capsule, which is inexpen-
sive and easy to dose, and if your
flock is in bad condition caused by
itelligent marketing is just as neces-
sary as any other pai’t of the busi-
ness, and without a reasonable com-
pensation for these products the pro-
ducer is doomed for the rocks. Qual-
ity products are proving to be an
important factor in the competition
of foods. This is true for the trade
in food in general, and applies to
the individual producer as well.
There is a decrease in the consump-
tion of meats, due to the consump-
tion of vegetables and fruits, be-
cause they are accessable either in
the fresh and natural state or in
cans. In order to increase the demand
worms, it is negligence on your part j for any product we must produce
for which you will suffer if you do j very best. Some px’oducers have
not condition them, when eggs ax’®1

ducing quality products and there-
fore get a fail’ price for what they
offer for sale. There are farmers in
layers and sell the boarders. If you , near]y eVery community who sell

his hegari is now already cut and
it is very good. He says that the
corn has burnt some but that quite
a lot of good corn will be made
in that section. He says that he
wants to go back to Alabama again
this year. He made the trip last
year for the fii’st time since com-
ing from that state and he wants
to go back this year worse than ever
but he says that he cannot spare the
time to make the trip. He is plan-
ning to plant some June coi’n for
roasting ears for this fall and he is
a man who makes the effort to make
the fai-m furnish the living.
A. M. HENNIG
It is necessary to plan more than
one year at a time in farming suc-
cessfully in this section of Texas.
The past few years have proven this
statement beyond question. The
farmer who does not think and make
plans far in advance is up against
vexing problems many times. The
past two yeai’s have been anything
but successful years for the farm-
ers, but still some of our fai’mers
j hegari will hold its own with th 3- old
I reliable red top cane under the same
conditions, and he believes tlx; he-
gari is a little the best. He has {quite
a - lot of grain sorghums planted in
addition to his other crops he is
growing. He has cows, hogs and
teams for all purposes and his en-
ergies are not over taxed, but he
thinks out sane lines to follow and
set's the goal and plays the game.
These are facts, concerning Mi*. Hen-
nig, who lives just a few miles out
on i’oute2, from the city. This is
no newspaper farming, this is facts
and every word mentioned here will
be verified by Mr. Hennig if you will
only ask him. He has no wasteful
operations. H is just sticking close
to the job and attending to busi-
ness.

tion on the part of the individual. A.
M. Hennig is one of the men of this
section, who make a business of
farming and is not using it as a
stepping stone like some of our
young men and women do the art
of school teaching to some other
vocation. Mi\ Hennig is just a fai’m-

L. Castleman of Bitter Creek, is one
man whom we believe is thinking
along sane lines. He is making the
effort to grow feed for the needs
of his farm. Pie is interested in bet-
ter staple cotton and is leaving noth-
ing undone to meet the demand of
the strenious conditions and is giv-
ing his best effort to, the work. He W. S. COLE

bushels and put them in the barn.
He planted quite a lot of grain sor-

he sowed in a sti’ip of gi’ound in

in order to test its value as a feed
crop. He says this test shows that
J. C. HARGROVES
Olney trade territory covers a
large area of fixxe farming lands
peopled with thrifty farmers who
are in most instances, valiant men
fighting the battles of life. Last
week, J. C. Hargroves, a young
farmer living in the Roger school
community near the city of Elbei’t,
was in town and we found him to be
an interesting gentleman as well as
a progressive farmer. He showed to
be one of the "never let up” kind.
He was 'here to get some June corn
to plant for late feed. He says that
his early corn will make some corn
without any more rain and that his
sorghum crops are looking nicely.
He repoi’ts a light shower of rain
Sunday night which he says will
help the crops quite a bit. He says
that he is trying out some hegari
again this yeai\ He has grown this
feed for the past two years and he
says it is one of the best grain sor-
ghum crops he has had any experi-
ence with. He believes in preparing
to live at home. He and his wife
have up one hundred quart cans of
corn with his pressure canner and
they are canning other vegetables
in season. He has a fine lot of
young Leghorn roosters which he is
planning to can for winter use,
rather than sell them at the pre-
vailing prices. This is a step for-
ward which will pay a big dividend j tions, and there is more feed plant-

The past few weeks have been
very hot and dry, the corn crops
over the country have suffered more
or less from hot winds and for the
lack of moistui’e. But, in a few lo-
