a severe setback, which may result in

“I can’t keep feed in those troughs,”
stated II. N. Ferguson of Decatur, in
referring to the creep feeders being
used with his grade calves on his
ranch near Slidell. Mr. Ferguson be-
gan several years ago to apply the
latest methods for developing higher
quality beef cattle on his ranch. The
first steps taken and are being con-
tinued. was the selection of proper
type bulls. This year iu addition to
the breeding operations, the creep
feeders are being added, and as Mr.
Ferguson stated. indicates the calves
are eating well. In addition to the
breeding and creev feeding, all calves
are dehorned while young, thus mak-
ing a most attractive animal for the
future buyers.

Realizing the need for work stock
to replace the fast depleting supply
on hand, Jernigan and Carlisle of
Blewett community, began some two
years ago to produce more and better
horses and mules and to aid their
neighbors in producing better work
stock. This year as a necessary step
in the production of higher quality
animals, they purchased the first
prize three year old jack at the state
fair of Texas and secured a Perch-
eron stallion of excellent quality from
the commissioner of agriculture, and
the present indication is that the 1935
crop of colts in their neighborhood
will Im* far better than any in this
area for many years back. Along
with this development, an organized
move is geing carried out to make it
possible for many farmers to raise
•oils of higher quality than the ani-
mals they now have on hand. Messr».
Jernigan and Carlisle are co-operat-
ing to the fullest extent with the
connty agent in the development of
more and better work stock for Wise
connty. They are offering free ser-
vice to the winners at the colt show
which will be held this year. These
men are always anxious to aid in any
way in the development of better
quality horses and mules.

Henderson, county seat of Rusk coun-
ty. will be the opening point of Con-
pressman Joseph w. Bailey. Jrs cam-
paign for the United States senate,
Mr. Bailey will make his initial cam-
paign address at Henderson Saturday
night. May 19th, on the court house
lawn.
Many east Texas towns had request-
ed Congressman Bailey a opening
speech and Henderson was selected
owing to the fact thal it is in the cen-
ter of the East Texas oil fields and
of a rich agricultural district. There
is much interest in the Ickes oil con-
trol bill—which would take the con-
trol of the Texas oil industry away
from the state and put it in the
hands of the federal government—in
this section of the state and it is
expected that Congressman Bailey
will discuss the Ickes oil bill at
length. Mr. Bailey is determinedly
opposed to this measure. He will al-
so outline his position in regard to
Ilie Bankhead bill which so vitally
effects cotton farmers.

“Speaking about fishing," remarked
Cody Milligan, "you can't take every-
one’s advice about the sport. For in-
stance, I listened to Floyd Helm the
other day, while on the creek with
him, and I soon discovered I knew
as much about tin fun as he did: in
fact, after a few catches, I began giv-
ing him advice, but he was stubborn,
refused to accept my suggestions, and
as a result he caught few fish. It

others in and about Decatur, took
Cody out to instrnet him in the fine
