Payne made the following state-
ment in stressing the importance of
live stock on the farm:
Live Stock Necessary
“Every citizen of Denton County
should be Interested in live stock
farming. It has been the history of
agriculture the world over that
farming without live stock leads
to soil depletion and poverty. It has
been tried in the wheat belt of the
United St*;®# and In other sections
of the North and East, and if one
will observe the general appear-
ance ot farm homes and farm
buildings in the strictly cotton farm-
ing sections of Texas, he will notice
that they are poorest in the State
Less beauty and fewer home com-
forts are exhibited on these farms.
On the other hand, if you will ob-
serve the buildings in a diversified
farming country where live stock
is generally grown you will notice a
much better general appearrjnce
which is evident that there is more
profit being made in those sections
than in the strictly one-crop 4MJ-

family and have a surplus for sale.
The safe farming program advo-
cated by A. At M College Is based
on four fundamental principles:

Dairy Industry Favnrrd
“It seems that Denton County
should be intereated In increasing
dairy farming; that Is. wherever
possible, every farm should have
two or more cows and a cream sep-
arator; no that the skimmed milk
might be fed to hogs and chickens.
Such a system will automatically
reduce the cotton -acreage and in-
crease the fertility of the soil, which
Is so badly needed In this section.
The conditions are not such that
every farmer can afford to go Into
tlie dairy business, but there is
room for many more dairy cows in
Denton County than we now have
Every farmer should develop a live
stock program
"We are going to have a general
discussion by practical live stock
men on March 27 and 28 Many far-
mers who arc not now producing
many dairy products will be inter-
ested in these discussions a"d ft
will pay you well to hear >,ery sub-
jest discussed. The subjects of poul-
try. hog raising, clean milk produc-
tion, butter making, postures and
other crops will be discussed during
three two days.
"Mrs. Edna W. Trigg, home de-
monstration agent, is also intensive-
ly Interested that the women who
are working wtth iwr home demon
stration clubs attend these meet-
ings. as these women are as much
Interested in this live stock pro-
gram as the men.”
ed this might be the plane residents
there reported hearing.
Floyd Bennett, Byrds pilot, flew
the plane from Bt. Albans to Grand-
mere. Que., and it was considered
likely he might have flown of! his
course and gone by the way of the
c-oods. This was considered more of
a likelihood than that the trans-AL
lantic fliers would have gone so far
inland.
