Milk Goats Popular
The prejudice that once existed
against the use of goat milk has
about gone, and as people are learn-
ing the healthfulness of the milk and
its value as a nourishing food, espec-
ially for invalids and young children,
many farms and town homes ndw

eliminatidn of one of these education- mestic. animal?. It is. easily and in-
expensively kept.and ■if .js...g^pt;l.e. and-
docile. .Many families throughout
the CQuntry, that reluctantly began
the use of. gciats’ milk for some inva-
lid. on .the recommendation of a phy-
sician, have found it so wholesome
and nourishing that the milk has been
substituted entirely for cows’-milk

which is surrounded by a fine agricul-
tural section, ginned 8,000 bales of
cotton during the season just closed,
that crop having an estimated value
of $800,000. In addition the produce
sdld in the town, according to esti-
mates, was 86,000 pounds of butter,
valued at $26,000; ten cars of eggs,
. $28,000; four.cars of cattle, $3,000;
six cars of wheat, $15,000; and ten
cars of oats, $10,000. Ballinger, the
county seat, which is close by, bought
Rowena grciwn products estimated at
$200,000. Many items, like vegeta-
bles and fruit, are not included in the
estimates of Rowena-grown products.
This paragraph explains why Rowena

Blackberry Picking Time
Blackberry picking has begun in
Smith county, where the acreage is
larger and the crop better than ever
before, and stained lips and teeth all

testimony to the popularity of this
delicious Texas fruit. Lindale and

Winter Garden Organization ,
The sectional Chamber of Com-

of Texas is so pleased with the results
of its organized efforts that it has
decided to continue its Operations
along the same lines another year.
The state is The headquarters will be moved to
Asherton, with J. G. Sullivan as pres-
ident and J. G. Fraser as secretary.
Texas truck and fruit growers have
learned that the closest and most ef-;
ficient organization is essential to |
their success. Some day the farmers
and especially the cotton growers,
will learn this valuable lesson from
the experience gained by those in al-
lied lines.

from Dac^mber, 1927, to the clch’e of
February' 1928. The United States
Department of Agriculture estimates
that a rat will eat and destroy $2.00
worth of feedstuff every year. These
thirteen counties, therefore, will be
nearly $4,000,090 better off because
of their rat-killing campaigns. Texas
San Mar-
cos estimates are that the Hays
county production will bring in $150,-
000, the fall clip having been approx-
imately $100,000. The price ranges
from 52 td 65 cents a pound. There
is hardly a farm in Texas, unless it
be the small fruit or truck farm, on
which at least a few goats may not
be kept to profit and with little trou-

advanced by those in faycit of the
move, and it is probable that it will
be made. But what a blow it will be
to education in Texas if the move is
made. Baylor is associated in the

where it rules supreme. In Dallas it
will meet the keen competition of the
Southern Methodist University,
younger in Texas education, but un-

of rival manuufacturers. Everybody is yelling
