ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Fidelity Fertilizer Co. has grown from a
small organization, started 24 years ago at
Houston, to one of the largest Fertilizer Plants
in the South.
FARMERS 1
North America, with one-twelfth of the world’s people,
uses about one-half of all the timber consumed in the world,
says the Forestry Primer published by the American Tree
Association at Washington.
There are 200,000 known kinds of tree-attacking insects.
It is estimated that these cause a loss of one hundred millions
of dollars every year.
The railroads o fthe U. S. use about 130,000,000 new wood
ties every year. There are about 3,000 to the mile.
Something like 5,000,000 trees are cut annually for tele-
graph and telephone wires; we use 500,000 fence posts every
year.

Truly, the cow is man’s greatest benefactor.
drouths and floods may come, destroy our crops, and banish
pur hopes, but, from what is left, the cow manufactures most
nourishing and life-sustaining foods—and is she not life itself
to the thousands of little ones depending upon her? We love
her for her docility, her beauty and her usefulness. Her loyal-
ty has never weakened—and should misfortune overtake us,
as we become bowed down with the weight of years, we know
that in the cow we have a friend that was| never known to fal-
ter. She pays the debt. She saves the home. God bless the
cow—little do we realize the debt we owe her!-—E. G. Ben-
nett, Daily Commissioner, State of Missouri.
Taking his stand on an an-
ti-trust platform, Ernest Beck-
er of Dallas on Saturday an- -
nounced his candidacy for At-
torney General, subject to the
Democratic primaries of July.
Campaign headquarters
were opened in the North Tex-
as Building with organization
work for the State begun and a
speaking bureau preparing
dates for engagements over
the State.
Mr. Becker, a graduate of
Yale, has been in Dallas for
.about fifteen years. He prac-
ticed law for about five years
and for about ten years before
then engaged in public ac-
counting practice. He is li-
censed as a certified public ac-
countant.
DO YOU KNOW—
That an oil company has brought in three good oil wells
across the river from Port Neches? Why can’t we bring
in one at Port Neches, where people have always said
the largest field is located?
We have plenty of land, but not the money. Some of
this land will be sold at $500.00 per lot, payable $100.00
cash, balance in 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.
We will use one-half of the money you pay us for drilling
for oil on these lots. If actual drilling is not commenced
within 6 months, your lot will only cost you the initial
cash payment.
This is an investment in land with prospects of immedi-
ate development for oil, without the risk incident to such
|] development.

Becker Is Candidate
For Attorney General
The East Texas Chamber of Commerce gave a dinner in
Dallas the other day to local members, in the course of which
the value of regional bodies of this sort was brought out. It
developed incidentally that Houston is giving more to the sup-
port of the East Texas group than is Dallas.
1 Of these divisional associations the West Texas chamber
is the oldest and the one -with the outstanding record, due to
’its longer period of operation. It has been such a success that
East Texas and South Texas have been moved to seek similar
benefits for their sections. As a result Texas is well served in
practically all portions, if we follow the present division which
leaves North Texas represented under either East Texas or
West Texas allocation.
East Texas has responded amazingly to the stimulus of
sectional leadership. Indeed, it is misleading to call it sec-
tional. For, although the attempt is to advance the cause of
East Texas, there is no admixture of hostility toward any other
part of the State.
The effort to represent all Texas in one chamber of com-
merce did not meet with continuing success, despite the fact
that the now defunct Texas Chamber of Commerce did good
service for a time. The State is so much larger than other
States, and so much more diverse in its interests, that division
of the territory for purposes of promoting business and indus-
trial growth has proved best. The regional Chambers of Com-
merce are doing good work, and Dallas ought to show her ap-
preciation of their accomplishments.—Dallas News.
Austin, March 13—The Sen-
late Tuesday morning passed
finally the bill fixing the term
of elective County Superinten-
dents of Public Instruction at
four years. It is now two
years. The bill had been in-
troduced by Miss Margie Neal
of Panola county, who is chair-
man of the educational affairs
of the Senate, and, incidental-
ach word, and the sender will be held responsible for! onjy woman member of

_______________________—---------------ijority by which the bill passed
was rather a sizable one, it en-
countered a stubborn opposi-
tion, and it may be said to owe
! its passage very largely to the
cogent argument made in its
behalf by Miss Neal.
It is one of three measures

Little do we realize the debt we owe to the cow. During
the dark ages of savagery and barbarism, we find her early
ancestors native of the wild forests of the Old World. As the

Her sons helped till the soil of our ancestors and slowly

them for homes, and made civilization possible for the coming
generation—and when the tide of emigration turned westward

The minute an omelet is hot from the pan, it is puffed up,
tender ... at its best.. .. And the minute vegetables are fresh
from the garden, all their flavor, all their juice are at their
high point.
The way to have white wax beans while they are tender^
and carrots when so crisp they cook creamy before they are
creamed . . . the way to have all vegetables at their climax-
time of freshness, is to pick them from a garden of your own.
And the way to grow vegetables approaching perfection is to
plant Ferry’s purebred Seeds.
These seeds are perfected the way breeders perfect cattle.
A Ferry-bred tomato is no more like an ordinary tomato than
Ferry’s sweet corn is like horse corn. Find Ferry’s purebred
Seeds at the “store around the corner.” And write for Ferry’s
Seed Annual. This gives you 73 years’ experience in gardens
before you start—news of mulch paper—and even of better
ways to cook vegetables. D. M. Ferry & Co., Detroit, Michigan.
