Santa Claus Visits
Farmer Through
His Poultry House
Santa Claus in making regular visits
to the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. C.
Brymer, but instead of coming down
the chimney a* he cuatomarilly does,
he is coming through the poultry
house.
It all happened this way. When
the farmers of Burleson County made
their last annual Pilgrimage to the
A. &. M. College, for the purpose of
securing information and ideas that
•would assist them in better farm
management, Mr. J. C. Brymer and
wife were there and gave special at-
tention to the arrangement of fenc-
ing and poultry house construction.
They came back home with a new
idta, and with the assistance of the
County Agent, W. S. Childerss, they
have put it into practice. They first
purchased 1500 White Leghorn baby
chicks from the A. & M. College,
and from this they raised to matur-
ity 500 White Leghorn henB, which
Terracing Schools
Facilitate Work
In The County
Terracing in Burleson County has,
been greatly increased this fall, |
through the Terracing Schools con- (
ducted by the County Agent, W. S. I
Childress. The attendance at those j
schools has not been bo large, but
practically all who attend come for
the single purpose of learning howj
cost them something less than f 1
each.
Today their hens are producing be-
tween 275 and 300 eggs per day,
which they are selling at 36 centa
per dozen. Their gross income is
about $8.50 per day. Their feed bill t
being $2.50 ptr day, leaves a net la-¡
bor income of $6.00 per day. In
other words, these hens pay for their
feed and pay Mr. und Mrs. Brymer
$6.00 per day for their work. ¡
This is the Burleson County Five ¡
Year Farm Plan's remedy for farm
relief.
to use the farm level and terrace
their land. i
The County Agent had a date Vrith
Mr. John Gerdes, near Deanville, for(
terracing. When he arrived in the
afternoon, he found Mesara., John
Maresh, Sr., John Kocurek, William
Koeppen and Otto Maresh, Sr., four
of John's neighbors, all of which
owned their own farms and were
there for the specific purpose cf
learning how to uae the farm level
and terrace the farms of their com-
munity, as they realize that it is
a physical impossibility for the
County Agent to lay off all the ter-
races for those who have made ap-
plication. They were phased to as-
cept the loan of one of the farm
levels, furnished by the Commis-
sioner's Court of Burleson County,
and proceed With the understanding
that in the event they find work too
complicated the County Agent will
give personal assistance.

new Features of-
Qfhe
Outstanding Chevrolet
of Chevrolet History j
- a Six in the price range of thefour!
Everywhere The Outstanding Chevrolet is
being hailed as a spectacular achievement in
advanced design, because it embodies the
greatest array of improvements ever offered
on any automobile of comparable price.
Here, for example, is a marvelous new six-
cylinder, valve-in-head engine whose design
represents over four years of development
and testing on the part of Chevrolet and Gen-
eral Motors engineers. It has numerous
advancements typified by a non-detonating,
high-compression cylinder head—gasoline
pump with filter, and automatic rocker arm
lubrication. It provides performance the like
of which was never before available in the
low-price field—marvelous smoothness, tre-
mendous reserve power and sensationally
swift acceleration—all with an economy
averaging better than 20 miles to the
gallon of gasoline!
Here are new and improved four-wheel brakes
unsurpassed for silence in operation, positive
action and ease of adjustability!
Here are marvelous new Fisher bodies
introducing a new order of beauty, smartness
and luxury.
And here, also, are other features by the
score—each an impressive example of auto-
motive progress—each contributing to out-
standing performance, quiet operation, long
life, ease of control and economical
ownership!
We cordially invite you to visit our showroom
and sccure complete and detailed informa-
tion regarding this great new car, which will
be ready for delivery beginning January 1st.
