East Texas woodlands are beautiful
at this time, and the fields, though
a little wet, are pretty, and show evi-
dence of much work. And the trees

son County Herald.
Representative cotton men are pre-
dicting that the staple will bring
around 12c this year. Of course all
these predictions will have their ef-
fect on the price until the production
is actually determined. But a low
price for cotton should not spell dis-
aster for East Texas. Peaches, peas,
watermelons and the hundred and one
other crops that can be grown in this
section should offset a low price for
cotton. Likewise it should serve
to turn the faces of hundreds of
West Texans in this direction.—
Athens Review.
The farmers in the timberland re-
gion of East Texas own almost 2,000,-
000 acres of timberland and should,
therefore, be vitally interested in ev-

GRAIN CROPS GOOD
FOR LATE PLANTING
In the event that late planting of
corn should fail to get a stand after
the first of May, it would be advis-
able to plant grain sorghums, accord-
ing to the Texas A. and M. College.
“These crops do fairly well in East
Texas,, if we have a dry season,”
the College says. “Some of the best
types of grain sorghums are; Stan-
dard Black Hull Kaffir, Dwarf Yel-
low Milo, and Spur Feterita. In the
event these crops do not make grain
on account of blighting from the ef-
fect of the midge, they will, never-
theless, make an abundance of good
forage.” :

ATHENS HAS CHANGED
HER TRADES DAY DATE
Athens, April 21.—The date of
Trades Days for Athens has been
changed from the first Monday to the
first Saturday in each month. The
change was made on account of this
being the busy season for the rural
people who, under those circumstan-
ces, prefer the Saturday date. Sixty-
three merchants are participating in
the events. - :
The annual production of honey in
Texas is five million pounds.
Texas has 106 daily and 662 weekly
newspapers.
Mr. D. K. Herriage, who is start-
ing a poultry farm two miles East
of Emory, sold $88.60 worth of eggs
from 47 hens during the months of
January, February and March, which
is nearly $2.00 to the hen for the
three months. Mr. Herriage says he
will build his stock up to 500 hens
this year, and adds he is one who is
not afraid of over-production. He
now has 365 baby chicks and is
growing the famous Ferris strain.
Mr.Herriage is farming on a small
scale, but his main object is to build
his poultry business up to where it
will be a paying business.—Rains Co.

Wills Point, April. 21—A petition
signed by hundreds of Van Zandt
county citizens will soon be present-
ed to the State Highway Commission
requesting that the present mainte-
nance road contracts be canceled and
care of the highways be placed under
a district engineer. It is claimed that .
the county is getting poor returns
from the. $69,000.00 contract, and
that the roads are deteriorating in-
stead of being improved. The peti-
tion naively requests that, if further
contracts are to be let, bids should be
advertised for. :
