Jordan Tells How C.» M.
Adams Won The Prizes
Lockhart Delegation Attends
Banquet at Tyler and Give a
Good Report.
(By A. W. Jordan)
Lockhart was not surprised,
but highly gratified when a mes-
sage was received here from
Tyler that G. M. Adams of that
place had won the state prize of
$1,000 and numerous smaller
prizes for having made the
greatest yield of cotton on the
“More Cotton on Fewer Acres’'
contest and that Mr. Adams as
well as the negro Jackson who
had won second had used plant-
ing seed grown by the A. D.
Mebane Sales Agency and ship-
ped to Tyler for distribution.
Citizens of Lockhart visited
the Mont Adams farm last week
and attended the banquet ten-
dered to him by the Chamber of
Commerce of Tyler at which
covers were laid for more than
500 prominent Texas farmers,
bankers and business men.
Adams in addition to his cot-
ton on the five acres made a to-
tal of 23 bales, 400 bushels of
corn, one hog that weighed 800
pounds and preserved and cann-
ed fruits and vegetables sufficient
for the year’s table supply.
Adams’ five acre plot lies west
of the home and in a sloping
valley and an inspection of the
plot reveals these facts.
It was thoroughlv broken in
the fall and before planting he
charged the cotton rows with
the commercial fertilizer to
make the cotton that he did,
planting it in April and after
chopping put another dressing
of fertilizer between each row,
thus feeding the infant plant at
the bottom and as the laterals
branched out they found a supply
of high grade fertilizer there to
feed on and from the day the
plant burst out of the ground
until the cotton was ready to
open it did not stop growing. *
We from Lockhart never saw
cotton stalks thicker in a patch
than that? of Mont Adams, and
that is the reason that he gather-
ed a little more than 3 bales
from each acre. The greatest
number of bolls found on one
stalk was 190.
Caldwell County one of the
greatest cotton growing counties
in the world from 1919 to 1924,
produced only a little over one
bale of cotton for every six acres
planted, and it ought to appeal
to every thinking man that if
he would reduce his acreage in
cotton, cultivate and fertilize
and follow the requirements of
the Smith county plan of plant-
ing 40 per cent of his farm in
feed stuff and sixty in cotton
that he would soon see the wis-
dom of the change.
W. H. Jackson is some farmer
too, and you wiil see what he
did and Jackson while not
crowned King of Cotton stands
at the head of his race. Rent-
ing on the third and fourth he
went into the contest and got
his backing from the bank.
Using the same kind of seed
that Adams did Jackson gather-
ed a little bit more than 13 bales
on his 5 acres, not so bad when
you remember that John Mc-
Farland of Anderson county was
proclaimed King of Cotton with
a record of 10 bales of half and
half on five acres. Jackson in
addition to entering the five acre
cotton contest went in the corn
contest and entered the required
two acres. From this he gather-
ed a total of 150 bushels of corn
or at the rate of 75 bushels an
acre. Just think that on seven
acres this negro got 13 bales of
cotton and 150 bushels of corn.
We hasten to say to you the
better farming plan,' cut the
acreage, increase the feed crop,
live at home.—Lockhart Post-
Register.

Bridal Shower
Mrs. B. C. Neighbors, o f
Dreyer, entertained with a mis-
cellaneous bridal shower last
week-end at the home of Mrs.
J. P. Boothe, honoring Miss
Susie Boothe, a bride of the
month, whose engagement to
Mr. Orian DeWeese of Gonzales
is announced. Many beautiful
and useful gifts were bestowed
upon the fair bride-to-be. Much
merriment centered around the
cutting of the bride’s cake. Miss
Willie May Turk cut the ring,
Miss Lucile Schultz the dime,
Miss Lydia Doolan the penny,
Miss Isabella Hillen the button,
Miss Ruth Neighbors the thim-
ble. About 75 guests were pre-
sent including friends from Gon-
zales, Yoakum, Hochheim,
Kokernot and Shiner. All en-
joyed the happy occasion very
much. Refreshments of cake,
sandwiches and hot chocolate
were generously served.

500 Club
An enjoyable affair preceed-
ingthe Lenten Season was the
Club entertainment given by
Mrs. B. R. Holchak Friday af-
ternoon.
The reception rooms were
adorned with baskets of Spring
flowers. Quite a number of
games were played after which
the hostess served a tempting
tray luncheon.
When the playing ceased and
scores were counted Mrs. L. G.
Valenta received a pretty card
table cover for high score. Mrs.
C. R. Longorio a dainty “ker-
chief” for low. Guests were
Mesdames Jos Hughs, S. J. Hol-
chak and Peck Welhausen.
A GREAT DISCOVERY
The thing that made balloon tires practical and eco-
nomical for every car was Goodyear’s discovery of Super-
twist. That extra-elastic, extra durable cord fabric gives
greater riding comfort and longer carcass life.
Only Goodyears are made with Supertwist.
