It was stated by Sulphur Springs
business men that Hopkins County
has an income of $200,000.00 per
month from the dairying industry,
which is distributed among the
entire population in one way and
another. This inflome is almost
the same the year around.

Important
Q^ference Game
By the thinest of margins.
Nocona Indians managed to
out on the fast improving Henrietta
Bearcats last week by the score of
21-20 to keep at the head of the
District 11A conference. Some of
the loral stars have been out with
the mumps for the last two weeks
but have recovered sufficiently to
get into action this week.
Matching stride for stride with
the local Indians are the stubborn
Jackrabbits from Bowie. They
visit' the local floor tonight for
theh second and last game with
the Ir/Jdians before the District
play-off. In the first meeting of
these teams. Bowie won handily
and administered the only confer-
ence defeat to the local five. To-
night the Indians are ready to do
battle in an effort to gain an un-
disputed lead in the district race.
The game is called for 7:30 p. m.
and the regular admission of 25c
and 10c will be the cost. The
Nocona Rich School Gymnasium
will be the scene of the affair.

started. This increase in yield per
acre has been caused by better
cultivation of fewer acres, and by
building up the soil with the
manure available from the lots and
barns
The northern part of Hopkins
county is similar to the northern
and western parts of Montague
county, with prairie land and fine
herds of beef cattle. They found
it inadvisable to recommend any
change to dairy herds by owners
of beef cattle The beef cattle
raisers of Hopkins are still a valu-
able asset. "Those who need dairy-
ing are the ones short on grass
and long on labor." they said.
It was learned that the surest
road to success in the dairying
[ business is for the man with limit-
ed acreage to start with two or
| three Jersey cows and gradually
i add to his herd as he learns pro-
per care, feeding, etc. Financing
of such a program for an indust-
rious farmer would not be found
difficult "You can not buy into
the dairying business; you have to
j grow into it.” they stated.

The eighth session ot the Dairy ■ had failed.
Institute took place Tuesday even- ' vised with emphasis that there is
ing with A. P Coston. Vocational
Agricultural Agent, as the piece de
resistance, and his topic was
"Cows". He discussed the possibili-
ties of what the cow would do and
could do if we want to get dowm
and take this business seriously.
It developed that there were 3
cows for every 2 farms in Monta-
gue County. With a number of
farms having 10 or more cows, this
means that many farms do not
have a milk cow.
Housing is another factor that i
must be considered in milking.
A lively discussion on several 60.000
topics took place.
