Ts wive H judgement mast b« uand—>yoar own in combination
with that of others.
Judgement is the highest qualification of the
platas him hi a position of lsadsrship. It mak<
than another, one store mors attractive than s
business man. It
makes one bank better
■ti whv «««*« ww«v «.vi kvnv« mian another, for, where
is host, there are the best services and the best goods.
But the judgement of many is better than the judgement cf one.
Ilk is what gives value to organisation. In this business W have
aa organisation. Every move is the studied result of a combination
of judgements. Sometimes it gives us an advantage in competi-
tion; it always keeps us on even terms.
^jio judgement of this organisation is at your service.

Woman's Club
Holds Regular
Meeting Thursday
On December the sixth, Mrs. Sam
G. Ragsdale was the efficient leader
of the club study hour on the radio.
She pointed out the new fields that
are daily being invaded and exploit-
ed by means of the radio and empha-
sized the constantly changing status
of the radio itself. Each member re-
sponded to roll call with clever, short
talks or Witticisms on "My favorite
station and why.** Mrs. Henry G.
Womble in her paper on "The growth
and Development of the Radio" .ex-
hibited unusual skill in the choice
of subject matter and the manner of
its presentation to the club. The
roundtable discussion on "The radio
from an Educational and Commercial
Standpoint" was participated in by all
members of the club who were present
and served to crystalise current
facts that are daily being reactyed
through experimentation in tjtfs
seemingly boundless field. "Hayipg
touched the magic casket of air com-
munication and transmission there is
no way of telling what will be the
end of this kind of exploitation for
the instruction and amusement of the
public. It is well to remember that
industrial and economic problems of
wide import are bound in the end to
become involved, aside from the fact
that the radio is educating a perfect-
ly enormous public in music of a qual-
ity which they never knew existed.
The outstanding educational possibil-
ity lies in the rapid extension of the
movie and the radio combination
'.vhich afford an outlook that might
well be taken carefully into account
by the pedagogical experts as indi-
cative of sweeping changes in the
methods of teaching."
¡ A total yield of 160.6 bales of cot-
ton has been msde by 116 clubToys
and girls in Nacogdoches county on
116 acres according to reports sub-
mitted to the county agent, F. O.
Montague, in a county wide cotton
contest. This is considered one of
the most remarksble records ever
made by a large number of contes-
tants in one locality. The total value
of the crop is plsced at |1,271.46
ajov jad vjojd *®u aSsjaAU aqj pu«
$89.81.
The individual hero of this whole-
sale triumph is Bernie Winder who
produced 1601 pounds of lint on his
acre for a net profit of $241.62.
Closely following him came Miss Beu-
lah B McDonald, 17 year old club
girl, who made 1486 pounds of lint
from one acre.
The impossible was accomplished
when four acres of upland produced
9 1-2 bales but this quite in line with
the general improvement in cotton
production in Nacogdoches county,
Mr. Montague says, for the crop has
almost trebled in the last four years.
This is due, he believes, to widespread
terracing, more teams and tools for
throughly preparing the soil, and to
the more intelligent use of commer-
cial fertilizer. The food and feed
crops have shown corresponding in-
j creases with at least 80 percent of the
needs of the present year supplied
. by the current crop.

Winter Pasture
Now that other pastures have
failed, winter grains such as Wheat,
rye, oats and barley can be depend-
ed upon to furnish considerable pas-
ture for livestock through the winter
and early spring. Rye is the best
suited of all the grain crops ¡for
winter pasture, according to the U.
S. Department of Agriculture. Win-
ter barley and oats also make ex-
cellent pasturing. More pasture can
be secured from early sown than
from late sown v.'inter grains, and
inore pasture is available in humid
areas than in dry areas. The soft
•winter wheats furnish more pasture
than the hard wheats. Do not let the
stock pasture any small grains too
heavily, however, or the grain yield
will be seriously reduced. Stock
should not be allowed on the field
when the soil is wet on account of
possible injury they may do to the
plants. Pasturing should not be con-
tinued much later than the beginning
of active growth in the spring,. and
certainly not after the plants start
to shoot.
If grain feeds for dairy cattle are
mixed on the farm, they should be
ground only as they are mixed, and
to insure freshness too much should
not be mixed at one time. It is a
good idea to add one pound of salt
to the mixture of each 100 pounds
of feed, says the U. 8. Department
of Agriculture.
If neither silage nor a root crop is
available as a succulent feed for the
dairy cow, dried beet pulp soaked
with about three times its weight of
water makes a satisfactory substi-
tute.
