There we saw several hundred
of the prettiest laying hens we
have seen in a long time. They
are housed in well-ventilated
buildings of the most modem
design. A huge, new bam, even
larger than that at the Schroeder

providing quarters for the doc-
tor’s pedigreed Jersey cows,
horses and goats. An interesting
experiment in raising a pasture

We visited the farm of C. B.
Schroeder northwest of towi the
other day in company with Coun-
ty Agent L. A. Sprain, T. A.
Low and Will Sloan. We found
him engaged in harvesting a
crop of yellow annual clover
seed. He had recently bought^
harvesting combi n e machine,
which cuts the clover, threshes
out the seed, add sacks them, as
the machine moves through the
field. The hay was left in the
field where it will be plowed un-
der to build up the soil. About
300 pounds of-the tiny seed are
produced per acre. They wi|l be
dried and then run through the
thresher again to further clean
them. -They will be sold at $10
per 100 lbs. as planting seed.
Mr. Schroeder has another type
of clover known as “hubam
clover” which will also be harv-
ested for seed purposes.
---V---
Recently built at the farm is
a huge barn, 100 feet by 44 feet,
with walls and roof of sheet
metal. It is modern in every de-
tail. It features a hay unlo^ier
and carrier, operated with the
assistance of a tractor. Feeding
f-acks are conveniently located
sc as to require the minimum
effort in fillings them. The corn
storage room has a concrete
floor and is airtight so that
chemicals can be used to destroy
weevils. Mr. Schroeder is espec-
ially proud of the self-feeders
for his hogs. Scientifically mix-
ed feeds are placed in a hopper
Inside the building. The feed
slides down a chute to the feed-
ing troughs outside, affording
a constant supply. A shed pro-
tects the troughs from the
weather. The bam and feeders
are of Mr. Schroeder’s own de-
y. sign. Purchasing, the rather run-
down, hilly faj-m several yyars
ago, Mr. Schroeder has applied
modem methods to build up the
soil until now he has one of the
outstanding farms of this coun-
ty.
Gloomy Picture On Rubber
Given at Houston Meeting
A gloomy picture of the rubber abused it in some way.
situation was brought, back by'
Brenham people who went to
Houston Friday night and attend-
ed a meeting addressed by repre-
sentatives of the War Production
Board.
They brought back the impres-
sion that the average person had
just as well forget about any pos-
sibility of obtaining new automo-
bile tires for several years to
come. Present stocks of rubber are
inadequate to meet military de-
mands, much less supply civilians,
they were told. Any synthetic
rubber that may be produced will
have to go to military and naval
uses, it was said.
Therefore, it is up to the auto-
mile and track owner to conserve
tires tn every way possible, it was
pointed out. One expert asserted
that if one fails to get 100,000
miles out of a tire, then he has
The speakers advocated laws to
punish any person who damages
tires by sliding them in sudden
stops or other carelessness.
Even those eigible for new cars
must take* care of them in every
way possible. Those who abuse the
tires wiil not be able to purchase
new ones. It was pointed out there
are 2,000.000 persons in the coun-
try eligible to buy new tires, and
there are only 8.000.0^0 tires
available in this country, only
enough for one set to the eligible
person. No passenger car tires
have been manufactured since last
December, but tires for trucks
have to be made to supply thuec
eligible.

i dairy counties in the state. To
reach this goal we must improve
and increase our dairy herds by
following a sound breeding and
improvement program. Then along
with this improvement program
we must, do a better job of feed-
ing and management. We must
produce more home grown feeds1
and feed the kind of rations that
produce the moat milk at the
greatest profit. If we develop our
dairy enterprises on this basis it
will be a profitable undertaking,
war or no war.
Dairy Show Due
In dhler to give farmers in this
section all the assistance possible
to help them build a sound Dairy
Program the Texas A&M College
Extension Service in. cooperation
with the Washington County Jer-

every farmer or dairyman should
enter in this show, what he con-
