Some Tomato Patch
Gonsales county is going in for
tomatoes on a large scale, reports
being that about 4,000 acres will be
cultivated this year. East Texas
seems to be dividing its attention
this year in the vegetable indus-
try about equally between toma-
toes, potatoes and melons.

If George Washington were here today, an’ we’d
have him for our guest, ’*
We’d reminisce—just he and I—tell of things we’d
loved the best.
Then I’m sure that, in his wisdom, he would smile

“I also like particularly the
paragraph pertaining to the work

down 'shriveled localism’ 'and re-

Talk Texas Programs
For more than a year the’Texas
Power ' and Light •Company has
been putting bn a Sunday morn-
ing "Texans’ Let’s Talk Texas"
radio program, filled with short
bits' of information about Texas
and the industries "that are helping
the development of the State. Sub-
jects recently discussed have been
the railroad shop and roundhouse
industry. Hour mills, lumber, .cot-
'ton sed oil, meat packing and
various phases .of agriculture in
Texas laika are helping wonderful-
ly” to, develop the spirit of “All .
Texans for all Texas"
.. Radio Aids. Press
The radio has become: a helpful
ally of the press in the upbuilding
of a “State-wide State pride" which
by the way,, is another slogan I
intend tokeep hammering on. Work
ing together as informational me-
diums for the development of Tex-,
as, there. is no limit to what they
can accomplish.
Which is a reminder that in the
first ten days of this months, the
following nine papers—count 'em
—have been added to the large list
that is using the "Texas and Tex-
ans" feature regularly and helping
through it, to stimulate the “All
Texans for All Texas" sentiment:
De. Leon Free Press, Comfort News
-New Braunfels Herald, Floresville
'Chronicle-journal, Devine News,
Cotulla Record. Crystal City Sen-
final, Uvalde Leader News,. Sabi-
Likes The Slogan
Beeman Fisher, advertising man
agar of the Texas Power & Light
Company, has written me that he
likes the elogan, "All Texans for
All Texas”, which has been adopt-
ed for this feature. Mr. WisKen la
himselr a versatile sloganist in
the matter of boosting Texas, us-
ing in his weakly radio program
“Texans Let’s Talk Texas", and
in a press sheet he sends out the
apt “Know Texas". I think he is
also to be credited with “What
Texas Builds, Builds Texas", and
others equally as good. Here are
some excerpts from his encourag-
ing letter:
“I read with a great deal of in-
terest your pragraph entitled
'Pride in Texas Progress’," which
recently headed your ‘Texas and
Texans’ release for the Texas
weeklies.
“Texans have a great deal of
which to be proud, and it is only
through a knowledge of thse
things that Texans can make this
state the great empire that it is
destined to be.
