The club members, boys and
girls, of Gillespie county agricul-
tural club have returned their re-
cord books to county agent R. S.
Miller. The great majority of
these records are neat and tidy
and bespeak of good,conscientious
work. With the permission of
the county agent we print the
sum and substance of a few of
these record books, knowing that
such publicity is well deserved
and will encourage other boys
and girls to join in the great work

This is the time when the an-
nual taxes are due. In Texas in
order to exercise the right of suff-
rage you, man or woman, must
pay a poll tax.
Did you ever consider that this
is the most unjust tax there is?
No test is required as to whether
the voter will be able to cast his
vote intelligently, just so he has
that certificate showing that he
has paid the poll tax. We are a
democratic people, the govern-
ment rests in the people and then
we. drop so low as to make the
payment of dollars and cents a
qualification for the exercise of
that which is derived solely from
the people. It’s an absurdity.
Any government must be main-
tained. We have not been able
to devise any other ways and
means but taxes, but I hope the
day may not be far distant when
that most unjust of all taxes, the
poll tax, assessed because it is
easily collected and justified-be-
cause the greater portion flows
into the school funds, will be abo-
lished once for all times. If we
need any qualification to admit
citizens to the voting box, let
those qualifications be education-
al.
On May 3 the cotton was plan-
ted, came up and grew steadily.
But this made a good feast for
the cut worms. Soon the stalks
became too hard though and they
did not bother very much any
more. When it was time for the
cotton to get squares, the cotton
flea became troublesome. But
this was only in small places.
Otherwise it grew steadily and
made bolls to the tips of the
stalks.
When the cotton began to open
we always judged it would give

and time we could print many
others which would show up as

Poultry Work
Paul Weinheimer, Route 4, son
of Otto J. Weinheimer, joined the
poultry club. Paul selected Barr-
ed Plymouth Rocks. He set a
hen with 14 eggs on Feb. 22, and
two hens with 30 eggs on Mar.
15. Out of 44 eggs, 36 hatched
and 26 grew up.
Paul’s record shows that he
fed 350 lbs. of whole grain apd
29 lbs. of ground grain at a total
cost of $6.43. During the months
of Oct., Nov., and Dec. he had
three laying hens which produced
90 eggs. The eggs purchased for
hatching cost $3.00 and the time
feeding figured at $6.00 brings
the total expense to $15.43. Six-
teen birds were sold at $1.00 a
piece, 10 were left, and the eggs
at market value were worth $2.25
totalling $28.25 and making a net
gain of $12.82.
Paul writes in his composition
on poultry:
Poultry raising should begin in
a small way with a few birds or
with two or three settings of eggs.
Before large investments are
made, the business should be
learned thoroughly.
Many difficult problems will be
presented for solution beiore any
large success will be attained.
If one wishes to learn the art of nutritious and the feathers of
poultry raising, he should care-
fully watch the methods of a
successful poultry man so as to
learn how to take care of the
birds and of the marketing.
At what time of the year should
one begin with poultry raising?
It is not so important, but fall is
a good season of the year, because
the stock can be purchased for
less money than at any other-
time of the year.
If you have chickens, the
method of feeding should be
learned. The fowls should be
empty until it is time to roost at
night. Early in the morning
grain should be scattered so that
the fowls have to exercise for the
day, especially so in winter.
Some poultry men feed their
flocks twice a day, others, three
times. Flocks which have range
should be fed twice a day. Mois-
r be fed in the
early morning, grain should be
scattered to keep the fowls busy.
It is impossible to state how
much feed should be given to
fowls. For large fowls 1 1-2
quarts of scratch mixture and an
record and in selecting these few about 1000 lbs. of seed cotton.
Later we thought it might give
about a bale. When it was all
picked I found that I had 1600
lbs. of seed cotton or about 50
percent more than I had thought
it would bring from those two
acres.
The record shows Lorence plan-
ted Kasch Pedigreed seed. The
land was plowed six inches
deep. Twenty pounds of seed
was planted to the acre in rows
36 inches apart. The cotton was
plowed seven times. The crop
was sold for $179.50 the total
cost of production was $54.68
making a ret gain of $125.82.
A Fine Poultry Story
Lillie Gold, daughter of Ed.
Gold, and member of the Willow
City Poultry Club, did not have
as much success in raising a flock
of chicks as some other members
but the club work and her com-
position shows that she has gain-
ed materially. Her story follows:
This subject, Poultry, in itself
Is very broad. Indeed, so broad
that its meaning is hardly realiz-
ed by a ninth grade student. How-
ever, it may be classified and
found to embrace all domesticated
fowls of which we fina the most
important to be: chickens, ducks,
geese, turkeys, and guinea fowls.
The importance of these fowls
is very great, both as a-source of
food and for their feathers. The
food, flesh and eggs, of which
turkeys furnish the most^ is very 1
As in all other questions that
confront human beings or a class
of human beings, the attributes
of whiskey as a medicine divides
the medical profession into two
camps. The citizenship may also
stand divided, in our section, how-
ever, the great majority concede
physicians included, that whiskey
has medical qualities. This being
the case, we should certainly have
at least have one druggist who j
should-secure a license that will
authorize him to dispense whiskey
as a medicine. And why should
we not be allowed the privilege?
Ev^ry hamlet in America avails
itself of this opportunity. Just
recently the San Antonio dailies
delighted in informing the world
that there was one thing in which
Dalias was ahead of San Antonio-
Dallas issued some 100 whiskey
prescriptions against every 40 for
San Antonio, or something to this I
effect.
We do not want a whiskey dis- ,
pensery to supply the drunkards,
we need one in case of sickness.
Here is hoping that we may soon
have one and, oh boy, how many
sick people will we soon have
around and in this burg. I am
sick right now, thinking that we
soon may have that permit by
which whiskey is issued on a
physician’s prescription.

ducks and geese are valuable.
These fowls may and should be
raised on every farm and done so
as to be of advantage to the farm
This can be done, since the food
of most-farm poultry is grains,
insects and, so to say, by-products
of the farm. Therefore, while
farm poultry is almost inexpen-
sive, it is also a great advantage
in destroying many harmful in-
sects and reducing the general
household account.
Although, however simple the
process of poultry raising may
appear, to make the poultry in-
dustry profitable is as problem
that takes care and attention,
where conditions under which a
fowls lives are unfavorable, it
will thrive just a little as any-
thing else. Of whatever class
the food may be, it will not thrive
unless the conditions it is subject-
ed to are correspondant to its
nature.
Thus, unless one know the rules
governing poultry raising he is at
a loss in carrying on the poultry
industry. This we alone can re-
_____medy by giving him the know-
