"Thank You"
From One Caldwell Citizen To An-
other Expressing Her Appreciation
For Christmas (¿ift.
Caldwell citizens are noted for their
varied talents. Some are musical.
Some are gifted in various other ways.
It has not been recognized that many
have been so gifted in composing and
writing poetry, but occasionally it
crops out that there is talent in Cald-
well in this line.
Just recently the following well
worded and well composed poem was
handed the News for publication for
the literary value that it contains:

'Twas the day before Xmas
I was ready to leave town,
My grip was all packed
With my tooth-brush and gown.
I drove down to the city
Just to pick up the old boy
And when he came out
He had a package of joy.
I thought when I looked
At the size of the box
That surely it was hiding
A pair of silk sox.
But 1 lifted the lid
And took just one peep,
When oh b y! let me tell you
How my heart, it did leap!
I whs tickled to death
At what 1 did see
For I found that you'd
"Said it with bloomers" for me
The bloomers art- lovely
This 1 will admit.
And also I'll tell you
They are a good fit.
1 thank you and thank you,
1 think you a deai,
And I wish you good luck
Throughout the New Year.

CARLO SCAMMRDO 1$ PHASED
WITH 1928 FARMING PROSPECTS
"""Carlo Scarmardo one of Burleson
County's most practical and success-
ful farmers is highly elated over the
agricultural outlook in Burleson Coun-
ty for the year 1928.
He was in the News office Friday
and stated that he is through break-
ing his land and is now waiting the
time to commence planting his crops.
He stated that he has a fine season in
the ground and does not anticipate
that he will have any trouble at all
in getting his crops up. He said that
he will need but very little more rain
to carry his crops through to maturi-
ty, probably a few rains during the
late spring and summer.
From the conversation had with
Carlo, he has been hard at work all
the winter striving to better his con-
dition. He said that he had fertilized
29 acres of his Brazos b ttom land
with manure. He said that if he
doesn't double the production on this
ground this year, that he will be badly
disappointed. He is basing his belief
on a plot of 15 acres that he fertilized
last year which produced well. He is
thoroughly sold on the idea of building
up his lands, and said that he is not
going to stop short of fertilizing all
of his land in time. This is one of
the lessons that he has learned by
practicing the teachings of the Five
Year Farm Program Plan. Carlo
was one of the first farmers in the
county to take up the idea, and be-
lieve us, he has been studying the
principles and has been carrying
them out in his section with success.
He will frankly tell any one that he
believes in the plan.
Some of the things that he has
achieved since he commenced to prac-
tice the methods are:
The past two years he has produced
more feed than he has needed. He
has filled his bams to overflowing
and has never had to buy any feed
since. Before the farm program was
f< rmulated and advanced in the
courty, Carlo like a great many oth-
er planters, was in the Vabit of plant-
ing mostly cotton, and using his cot-
ton money to buy feed at high prices.
Uiider his present system of farming,
he is growing all kinds of feed for his
own use, and is making his cotton
pretty near clear cash crop. In ad-
dition ! o this he is learning how to
build his lands up in order to make
hem produce the maximum, especial-
ly the weaker spots that will be found
in almost any tract of land. He is
planting more fruit trees, more gar-
dens and truck crops to help pay his
grocery bills during the spring and
ummei. He has stocked his farm
with more poultry, hogs and milk
cows. He has increased his alfalfa
tields. Th'> first year of the Farm
Program, Carlo only had about four
acres in alfalfa. In 1026 he increased
the number to seven and this year
he says that he will increase the num-
ber to 10. You see this shows pro-
gress and growth all the way through,
and he would never have thought of
doing such things nor would have
pone to the little xtra trouble oc-
'itn'y when he was not doing oth-
er !;ings, to accomplú. i what he has.
' i is year Cai io says that he is
f ' t-g t-> plant another big crop of
corn, c ne. tomat jof, pota, oes, and the
like. He says that he is not going to
take any more chances on having
to Ih:y the things that he should pro-
due at home. In other words he is
still striving hard to carry out the
principles that he has learned from
the Five Year Farm Program and is
not going to stop until his farm is
on* of the best improved most pro-
ductive farms in the whole county,
An> one who is well acquainted with
carlo, knows that he is sincere in his
statements, for his accomplishments
the past two years bear«the assertions
out.
Now what Carlo is doing in the mat-
ter to improve his condition and as-
jsist the county wide movement to de-
velop Burleson County, and make it
one í f the foremost agricultural coun-
ties in the state, others can do. The
Burles n County Agricultural Advis-
ory Board which is furtnering the ag-
ircultural work in the county desires
to call the farmers' attention to the
Five Year Farm Program Plan, and
urge each and every one in the county
to use their best efforts during this
year to study the principles the plan
teaches, and to join the ones who have
adopted the plan and assist in the con-
structive work that is being carried
on,
!t is generally conceded that Burle-
son County has made greater strides
forward during the past two years,
than during any ot'ler ten year pe-
riod. The thinking agricultural and
commercial interests do not want to
let the work wane in the county the
least bit. They want to-encourage the
agricultural work that is proving to
be constructive and successful, and a
boon to the whole county.

telligently advise the Houston Head-

W. M. Milliard, Chairman,

Drinking Vessels for
Ducks Should Be Deep
Unless the duck has a chance to
thoroughly rinse its nostrils, and at
the sanie I line dash Its head In water,
Injury may come from clogging the
nostrils or gelling sore eyes, writes M.
K. Buyer In the Farm and Bunch.
The drinking vessels should he deep
enough for this purpose.
Annually n large number of yarded
ducks are lost hy having sore eyes
and going blind. This Is caused by
dirt lodging In the eyes. Where ducks
have access to u stream of water, or
have drinking vessels deep enough so
they may he able to get their heads
under water, they can readily wash
out this dirt. When they do not havo
that opportunity, the eyes fester aud
loss of siglit Is the consequence.

ANNOUNCEMENT
9:45 A, M.
This challenge is made by D dge
Brothers who recently brought their
new Victory Six to the light of day.
Ordinarily the challenge would be in
he line of undealized ambitions, but
with the technical originality display-
ed in the construction of this new
model, almost anything is possible.
Two radically new principles of
construction have been employed.
These are particularly interesting in
;hat they put into practice the theo-
retical opinions recently propounded
by the leading engineers and physic-
ists of the country who responded to
the questions of Percival White, lead-
ing engineer, who has just completed
a symposium of automotive needs and
* rends.
The first new principle to be found
in the Victory Six is he single unit
construction of body and chassis. This
Dliminates body sills and brings the
car two inches nearer the ground,
with corresponding lowered center of
gravity. It eliminates 330 parts and
trengthens both sections by making,
l.hem act together in mutually flex-!
ing and mutually supporting what j
heretofore were jarring stresses and >
-.trains. This step insures quiet and
moothness beyond anything in the'
pai-..
The second principle is a body con-
•••t ruction. Double steel walls, bat-
tleship type, are used throughout.
This insures complete rigidity and
Jouble protection. There are only
?ight main- parts in the entire body.
And these are s we'ded together that
".here is not a chance for even a sin-
gle squeak.
The car, owing to simplification is
lightened 175 pounds. It will make
"21 miles to the gallon and 05 miles
per houi.
