AAfis Terracing Increases Problems
tan for Farms
“Now is your chance to get your
terracing job done by co-operating
with the AAA’s conservation ma-
terials program,” according to Wil-
mer T. Swink, state AAA commit-
teeman, “^ut you’d better let your
county committeemen know it now
so they won’t pass up the pro-
gram.”
In the event you have been
wanting to get your farm terraced,
but just haven’t had the time, mon-
ey or equipment to do it, here’s
how .the terracing program works: j

Of Dairymen
Dairy cows left to shiver and
shake in the cold and wet of the
open field during winter have little
reserve remaining with which to
make milk, declares D. A. Adam,
county agent. An open shed facing
south will keep cows dry and warm,
and anything which adds to their
comfort adds milk to the bucket.
National defense, Adam adds, jus-
tifies every precaution to prevent
a drop in milk production this win-
ter.
Dairy cows also need plenty of
hay, bundle feed straw or other

from the contractors, takes the bid

During the month of January
representatives of the AAA state
office are visiting every county in
the state where terraces are need-
ed. They are discussing the ter-
racing program with county com-
mitteemen and are helping those
who want to use the program to
get it set up properly. The point
is, Swink points out, that the pro-
gram will be used in: all counties
-^yhere the producers have indicat-
ed they would ike to have it, so
those producers who want to get
their land terraced should tell their
committeemen about it now.
the
Poultry Meets
Slated in Six
County Sites
All people residing
school districts in the Olney vici
nity are urged to attend a meeting
at 10 o’clock Thursday, Jan. 15,
in the City Hall to hear an expla-
nation of the stepped-up poultry
and egg production campaign as
accepted by the Young county U.
S. D. A. defense board.
Six area poultry field days are
slated in an effort to cover the
county in dispensing this informa-
tion in regard to feeding, equip-
ment, insect and parasite control
as well as marketing.'
A covered dish luncheon will be
•served at each meeting. Other ses-
sions slated are: Red Top, Tuesday,
10 o’clock at Community Center;
Graham, 10 o’clock Wednesday at
district court room; Jean, 10 o’-
clock Jan. 20 at school building,
and South Bend, 10

Modern Dry Cleaners
Installs Steam Press
Modern Dry Cleaners has com-
pleted installation of a new steam
press of the latest type for the
finishing department, according to
J. C. Taylor.
Mr. Taylor stated the addition
of this new machine will speed
production to a considerable de-
gree as well as improve the quality
of garment pressing.
ther.
Cows cannot maintain good, pro-
duction without an adequate sup-
ply of vitamin A, which is obtained
from- green feed, even though the
ration is perfectly balanced as to
protein, carbohydrates, mineral and
water. When getting more than
they need, cows can store enough
Vitamin A to last 60 to 90 days, de-
pending upon the amount of milk
they are producing. This is an im-
portant reason why they need oat
or some other green pasture during
the winter.
As most of the roughage furnish-
have no hay containing some green
or silage, can supply their cows
with enough Vitamin A to main-
tain production by feeding one
pound of alfalfa leaf meal daily,
or six pounds of yellow variety
sweet potatoes.
A smost of the roughage furnish-
ed to cows in Texas is low in pro-
tein, grain mixtures will have to
be high in that element in order
to supply the amount needed. Pro-
tein is the only element in feed
which stimulates milk production.
Cows getting sorghum cane hay,
Johnson grass hay, grain sorghum
bundles, bermuda grass hay, prairie
grass or other hays should be fed
a grain mixture which will analyze
21 to 22 percent protein, depend-
ing upon the quality of the hay.

Quanah rolled up seven points in
the first quarter and then was held
to one more lone tally in the re-

SNOW FALLS AS
MERCURY DIPS
TO NEW LOWS
Olney’s first snow to stay on the
ground in two years blanketed the
city Saturday and the white cover-
let was augmented Sunday by fur-
ther flakes.
Most of the snow fell soon after
midnight and in the early hours of
Saturday morning. Sunday’s flur-
ries did not add appreciably to the
snow already on the ground.
Olney and this area remained in
the grip of subfreezing weather
Monday when the mercury dropped
. to only 5 degrees above zero for
l' the season’s coldest recordings. The
I cold wave was ushered in New
Year’s Day and continued its seven-
day dictation of long handles for
comfort.
No highways were closed but traf-
fic generally was advised, during
