"AU, TEXAN'S FOR ALL TEXAS*
By WiU H. Mayes
Rains and More Kirias
May has been an unusually rainy
month in Texas. In many sections
there has been heavy damage from
excessive rainfall and huil. Many
crops will have to be planted or aban-
doned to the grass and weeds. For-
tunately it is not too late to plant
crops of some kinds that will mature
before frosts, and with an unusual
«arly summer season in the ground
there is probably enough moisture
with little or no aditional rain during
aummer. it is bad to have crops
washed away or "drowned out," but
Texas is wonderful for its recuperat-
ing propensities, and it is a safe
guess to make that the farm produc-
tion for 1930 will exceed that of any
previous year in spite of the set-
backs due to the May rains.

The Race Is On
Texas has started upon its bien-
nial campaign of mudslinging and for
the next two months business will bt*
neglected for politics, and politicians
will be going up and down and across
the lengths of this big State beseech-
ing the votes of insincere promises.
It is heartsickening just to anticipate
the numerous contests for political
jobs. There are some mighty fine
folks running for offices of al! kinds

now, skip over the political and
crime news, turn past the "sports
page", and you will find that many
who are taking time enough away
from other things to make a little
money are interesting themselves in
poultry, buying baby chicks, running
incubators, studying poultry, raising
and organizing poultry clubs. The
increase in interest in this side- line
of farming is the most surprising de-
velopment of recent years. Almost j
every county in Texas has from one i
to a half-dozen or more poultry clubs |
organized for co-operation in the!
business. The members are making j
the business pay until it is becoming
a larger industry than cat tle raising. |

good taste of about the best-tasting
product of Texas comes from Falfur-
rias. The Texas melon crop is re-
ported almost free from pests and
in fine condition.
Railroad Wants to Kxtend
The Fort Worth and Denver rail-
road is asking the Interstate Com-
merce Commission to allow it to
build a line in Texas from Childress
to Pampa, a distance of 11,'I miles.
To one who knows Texas and its
needs it seems that the permit would
be granted without delay, but the
commission is mighty careful to
safeguard the receipts of existsing
lines, and the interests of the public
seem t() be a secondary consideration
Unshackle Texas and let it grow.

This trouble has now been cleared
up, and I se< o reason to expect any
further break in this service. For-
tunately, my last issue contained May

Timber Farming
A Rusk county farmer has paid
jih.000 of an $1K,000 debt in 2 years
from the proceeds of his timber
crop. He has cared for and cut his
timber along scientific methods, and
practiced in Euorpe, cutting only
mature trees and logging so as *.o
protect the young growth. There
is hardly a section of Fast Texas
where timber farming could not be
made to pay along with the produc-
tion of other crops, but methods most
11 generally used there are destructive
t. young timber and wasteful of the
young trees.
