In fact. It Is the really important one
pending a countywide system of
drainage, ami as rice requires almost
a constant irrigation during its grow
Ing season, Matagorda County's inter

and Hood control, according to offi-

Out of the more than 3,000,000 Ford cars
now in use, about sixty percent have been sold
to fanners. Probably no other one thing has
brought to the farm so much of comfort and
profit as has the Ford ear. It has enlarged
the social lite, doubled the facilities lor market-
ing, brought the town next door to the farm,
multiplied for the farmer the pleasures ot living.
A family car without an equal in low cost ot
operation and maintenance. We solicit your
order for one now because the demand is large
and continually increasing.
