Winter
Figures do n<t mean much to ma-
ny people, especially when the fig-
ures reach into millions. So, readers
may not be much impressed when
told that exports from Texas points
have increased more than a billion
dollasr since 1900. Nearly 80 per cent
of this iscrease is in cotton, Texas
producing about one third of the crop
of the entire country In the last
ten years, wheat and other grains
have furnished a large per cent of
seaport shipments from Texa^ points.
Wheat poured into Galveston in such
lagre shipments about the middle
of July that ugh vessels could
not be secured or enough warehouse
room obtained to receive the wheat
arriving by rail , and the railroads
were for that reason compelled to
Xlace a temporary embargo on wheat
estined to Galveston. Texas is doing
big business in a gig way and every
part of the State is contributing to it,
present half of the time. Despite the
ruling of the Attorney General that
it could not be legally done, mem-
bers received pay for the time they
were absent from Austin during the
session, this being done by action of
the body. There was not a quorum
more than half the time . and at
adjournment only four senators and
eight legislators were present. Too
many "servants" of the State render
as little service as possible and draw
much pay as they can get.

question
.
Government experts will be invited
to visit the section to induce the
farmers to try out the crop. It is
understood that a large refining
company will contract to establish a
sugar beet factory in every vicinity
where as much as 5,000 acres of
sugar beets are assured.
Hulls of liashan bellowed and were

Pandhandle (tanks Deposits
The banks in Aniarillo show an in-
crease of more than $10,000,000 in
deposits since the wheat harvest has
been on, and every grain belt town
in Texas reports ,he biggest bank
deposits in ias history. Wichita Falls,

Pampa, (juanah, Claude, Spearman,
Wellington, Memphis, and towns as
far east as Bon ham all report un-
usual buisness activites due largely
to the good wheat crop and the sat-
isfactory prices being obtained rof
it.
Extra\agant Legislators
The third special session of the
Texas legislature set a new record,
even supposing previous sessions of
that body, for drawing pay for ser-
vices that were not rendered the
State, and for keeping a large body
of idle legislative employes, for
•whom there was no work to <io
Some membeis of the body were not
present during the session, and not
exceeding half of the members were
Business Methods Needed
No business institution would
tolerate for a day the wieti- of time
that characterizes practically every
department and branch of the Texas
State government, as exemplified by
the legislature, which should set an j
example in economy and efficiency i
of service. It is doubtful if the Stat
gets 50 per cent of the service for I
which it pays a much larger price
than is paid for all-time service of
a like kind by business concern
That is why taxes are so high.

Somehow Brady is expected to
lead towns of its size in progressive
movements, so there is no surprise
in the statement that plans are all
'ready for that hustling little city to
have one of the best airports in the
country, Brady is doing many other
things- in the way of civic improve-
ment;. to make itself a more desira-

RED ROCK
CRAE IN MAKING SILAGE
Almost any green crop can be
made into silage successfully if pro-
per methods are used. With hojlow-
stemmcd plants such as the small ce-
ral grain, care should be taken to ex-
pel the air by cutting fine and pack-
ing firmly. Some crops like legumes
are deficient in the fermentable con
stituents so desirable in the product-
ion of silage that is palatable and
possesses good keeping qualities.
Other crops like the sorgos have so
much sugar that unless cut at ma-
ture stage they have a tendency to
make silage that is too sour. Sil-
age is suited for feeding to all live-
stock. Dairy cows need it especially,
us its succulence is helpful in pro-
ducing large quantities of milk. It
i is u cheap feed for beef cattle. Sheep
; like it and it is well suited to their
' needs. Even horses and mules nriy
: Ik fed limited quantities of silage
| with good results.
A horse at hard work in the sum-
mer needs from 1 1-4 to 1 1-3 pounds
of grain and 1 1-4 pounds of hay to
each 100 pounds of his weight. The
work horse should be fed at regular
intervals during the summer.
