Keeping Up To
Ti rracing Demand
Is One Hard Jolt
College Station.—Farmers who are
inclined to criticise the county agent
because they can't get him cut to
terrace their farms may feel better
about it when they learn that it’s the
same st ry a.l over the state. From
two to five times as many farmers
have called on agents lor help in this
line this winter as it is possible to
aid. Extension Service authorities
assert In spite of the fact that the
a. re.~ terraced per agent have been
>t<a .ly increasing fr m year to year,
they say. and that more than 600,000
acres are estimated to have been
pr< tected by terraces or contours in
1V29 alone, farmer demand has
swamped nearly every county agent
in Texas with more work than he
can has tie.
The solution the Extension Service
has bei n w orking on for a few years
back under the leadership of M. R
L’enlly. Farm Engineer, has been the
training of farmers to do the work
themselves in community and county
t<. rracing s.h.ols. This is because
terracing as a means of conserving
soil and rainfall has been demonstra-
ted thoroughly enough in most sec-
tions to e nvince the majority of its
value. County agents must largely
abandon helping individuals in fa-
v r of training enough men to car-
te the tenacing program forward
iapidly, Mr. Bentley believes.
"As a part of this training system
quite generally used now, farmers
and business men in many places
have formed central committees to
assist county agents m every pos-
sible way to speed up the terracing
program.” he continues. “Every lo-
<al agency willing and capable of
helping is being pressed int > service,
and even .club boys and vocational
agricultural students are laying off
terracing lines
CANNING THEIR WAY
TO HEALTH IN LUBBOCK
I UBBOCK—That eating too much
of the wrong things and not enough
of the right things causes most hu-
man ailments is a health philosophy
gaining many converts among farm
families in Lubb.ck c unty. Last
winter brought much unnecessary
illness to many rural districts, but
now many of these households are
awaiting winter with grim batteries
of canned fruits and vegetables on
Pantry shelves. It s a part of Lub-
bock county’s rural health drive
planned by Miss Louis Baird and
carried ut by w men and girls in
th. home demonstration clubs. Since
June they’ve been studying dietary
requirements and canning home
grown stuff against winter’s on-
slaught.
Front recent questionaires received
it has been found that 22 farm
housewives made canning budgets,
and that more than 10,000 containers
f f od stuffs were canned by 50 who
replied, or an average of more than
2<>0 cans per family. The canning
budget as suggested by the Exten-
sion Service provides various food
stuffs in the proportions to enable a
balanced diet to be supplied the fam-
ily thr ugh all the winter m nths. It
consists of 4k cans of leafy vege-
tables, 110 cans of other vegetables,
130 cans of fruits, and 10 cans of
meats for a family of five for six
months.
Meals are balanced according to
the adequate diet which calls f r 1’4
pints of milk daily per person; at
least three servings weekly of leafy
vegetables, and two servings daily of
other vegetables; fruit every day and
itrus fruit or tomatoes three times
i week or oftener. and two servings
aily of such protein-rich foods as
neat, beans, cheese, nuts cr eggs.
SLATS DIARY
At the same time c unty agents
are increasing the number of soil
building demonstrations through the
planting of cover crops, especially
legumes, and establishing suitable
crop r tations on terracing land.
This is in recognition f the fact that
terracing is only the first step in
soil conservation.”

luddent, not and by constiutional amendment and a

If supposedly well-informed busi-
, ness men have that idea, isn’t it
likely that many thousands of our
citizens generally have the same im-
pression?
Is it because they have not inves-
tigated or is it due to the misinfor-
mation that has been circulated?
Whatever the cause,
some newspaper get the facts or se-
cure the opinion of those who have
studied the subject?
That’s what the editor if The
Press thought and that is the WHY'
of the Tilotson interview in today’s
issue of The Press.
Read that interview and learn for
yourself what a four-cent gasoline
tax will mean for Texas and how
easy it will be to complete every
slate highway regardless f what
may or may not be contributed by
the various counties through which
the roads will pass.
i Mr. Tillotson estimates that the
.state will have available next year a
I total of $32,350,000 for road building
' purposes; that certain counties and
districts are committed already to
the expenditures of $5,500,000 of
their own funds, or a grand total
of $37,500,000 to be spent for state
highway construction and better-
ment in 1930.
He further estimates that within
two years we will have from $45,-
000,000 |o $50,000,000 annually to
spend on our state highways, new
and old.
But what about the gaps. There
will be none, according to Mr. Tillot-
son’s interpretation of the laws and . of gasoline.

"By and large, I think the Ameri-
can business man cares less for
money than the business man of any
other country.’’
WHY NO ROAD ISSUE?’
(By MEFO in H uston Press)
Gasoline will Jbuild Texas high-
ways and no state bonds will be
needed. That is the verdict of many
who have analyzed the situation,
following the enactment by the last
legislature of a
cent gasoline
feurth goes to
the remaindei
and construction.
Such being the
be no road issue in
torial campaign,

state’s interests at heart should
unite upon cr urge some other great
measure or needed reform. There is
still the penitentiary problem,
public utility issue and the proposed
income tax over which statesmen
and politicians may argue and make
their pleas.
Only two things in the road-build-
ing program have caused disagree-
ments in the past. Oae was how
fast sh -uld Texas build roadways
and the other was how to build state
highways through counties t h at
could not or would not do their pare
to aid the state and nation.
The securing of the four
cent
gasoline tax has answered both ques-
tions, in the opinion of Hon. Leon-
ard Tillotson of Sealy, who introduc-
ed the measure during the last ses-
sion of the Texas legislature.
His emphatic statements were ob-
tained by a Press representative be-
cause cf assertions made by bankers
and other business men who in a
friendly discussion showed a la-k of
information as to the present high-
way laws and just what may be lone

Nothing but the
question of reimbursing some coun-
ties for the monies they have con-

ple. Whether it should be done is
debatable.

1 thority of a state bond issue secured the rights of the Texas highway
commission.
Says he most emphatically:
"The law as it stands on the sta-
tute books today gives to the High-
way Commission every necessary
measure of legal authority to fill in
the missing links in our major and
partly completed highways from the
State monies available.
“It also vests them

That all being

“I’ve suffered twenty years »nd
Orgatone has built me up in a short
while,’’ said R. E. Hel’ms of IKW
Pclk St., Wichita Falls, Texas, a re-
tired minister, while talking wi}.h
the Orgat >ne representative.
“I had a severe case of stomach
trouble and everything I ate would
sour on my stomach and bothered
my heart, which would beat so fast
at times, I thought it would run
away with me. I had to take seda
all the time, and never had any ap-
petite for I was afraid to eat. I
was bilious and dizzy all the time,
and was very nervous. I never got
very much sleep for I just couldn’t
seem to rest. I was in a very run
down condition and kept going down
hill, every day My system was get-
ting worse every day and I realized
that something must be done, but
everything I ate didn’t seem to do
me any good.
“I was reading the paper one day
and noticed a stomach preparation,
Orgatone. I got a bottle and have
commenced to get better ever since.
I simply fee) better and
than I have in twenty years,
glad to endorse Orgatone, for
the bflst stomach medicine I
heard of, or have ever taken,
one who will give it a trial will
learn of its value."
Genuine Orgatone may be bought
in Tahoka at the Thomas Bros.
Drug Store.
