one sixteenth inch staple and that.
less than 200 bales of the hard, fine
j staples used is sullied by the >n
! tire state. To produce this cotton,
| proper seed cultivation and ginning
j are required. One of the mysteries
i about farming: is why inferior cot
ton is produced when the demand is
I for better grades
Texas' White Population
The white population of Texan in-
created 22.8 per cent in the ten
year period from 1920 to 1930, the
negro population 15.3 per cent. The
largest percentage of increase was
in the Mexican population—71.6 per
centr--this attributable largely to the
extraordinary demand for common
labor in the Kio Grande Valley.
Within the last year many thousands
of Mexican laborers have returned to
Mexico attracted home by improved
conditions in that country. The fail
•re of the neKro population to main
tain an e<|ual ratio of increase with
the white was due to the removal of
large numbers of negroes to the fac-
tory centers of the North and Eust,
where wages were better than on
Texas farms. Unless farming con
ditions improve many more negro
and Mexican tenants and laborers
will leave Texas in the next ten
years and the average population in-
crease of 25 per cent will not be
maintained.
Banks To Aid Farming
The readiness with which Texas
banks are agreeing to assist in the
movement to withdraw 7,000,000
bales of cotton from the market is
most commendable. This is espe-
cially true of the smaller country
banks that have had their credit
somewhat strained by general fi-
nancial conditions. It now looks like
Texas will at least do its part with
bank co-operation, to restore cotton
to its place as a profitable farm
crop. Farmers, however, to get
bank support, will have to live up
to the provisions of Texas cotton
acreage restriction laws, and the
banks should make it clear that ere
dit will not be extended to them un-
less they agree to do this. Most of
the hanks will add a requirement
that farmers agree to plant at least
enough garden crops to supply their
families throughout the year.
Doing Big Thing
Despite all the unwarranted croak-
ing, big projects are under way and
big things are lieing accomplished in
Texas on a scale never before under
taken Notice the vast road build-
ing almost everywhere, the giant
utility and irrigation projects, the
Federal canalization and building
plans, the steadily increasing num-
ber of
pleted an i w ill comprise about 07,-
000 acres of land, all as rich as is
Trinity Navigation
to be found in the world.
Don't decide, just because the pa
pers are not full of it every day,
that the Trinity river navigation
movement is not going forward with
the promoters confident of success.
It is not contemplated, of course,
that great ocean liners are to go up
the Trinity, but that small vessels
will navigate the stream with loads |
of heavy, slow moving freight, and Prosperity
it is estimated that some 110,000,000
will be saved Texans annually in
freight charges.
( antaloupe Crop
Pecos cantaloupes have gained i
national reputation. About 125 cars
—nearly 40,000 crates have been
shipped this season. The demand
for the melons will probably result
in doubling the crop another season,
and it is predicted that within a few
years the melon trade will be worth
more to Pecos than all the other in
dustries combined.

Wichita Fulls Irrigation Plans
Wichita Falls may have been too
prosperous in years past for its own
good. The major part of an irriga
tion project covering some 200.000
acres has been completed for eight
years, but land prices have been
nigh with indifference shown about,
settling the area with small farm-1
ers and trucksters. Things are
changing An organization has been
created recently to bring about ac Cameron county, that will employ
' about 100 hands.
A Californian has bought a four- |
year-old citrus orchard of ten acres
ntar Mission for a consideration of
$27,500, practically all cash.
Twenty five acres planted to ir
tici.okes in the Pecos Valley will pro-
duce 10 tons to the acre. Artichokes
will do well in most parts of Texas
Banner banana crops are being
produced in the Lower Rio Gran ie
Valley this season.
A Chicago concern has started a
leather goods factory at Fresnos,

age this fall and winter. Prices of
lands are to be reduced and thoa
sands of acres are to be cut into
tracts of 30 to 80 acres and offered
for sale on liberal terms. The whole matoes profitably,
city is behind the movement, it is

Avoiding Gas Taxes
Petroleum marketers of Texas
allege that Texas is deprived
of from $2,000,000 to $4,000
000 every year by evaders of gaso
line taxes and have volunteered to
assist in running them down. This
vast sum would greatly increase the
road building and add materially to
the school fund.

Who Owns the Roada?
Now a court has issued an in-
junction to prevent peace officers
from enforcing the truck regula
tions, the injunction has been dis
solved by another court and con-
tempt proceedings and other trou-
bles have arisen. Truck operators
appear to think that the roads have (
been built and are being maintained .
for their exclusive use. Those who
travel the highways in smaller cars
complain that trucks monopolize the

Large Land Sale
The sale of 12,500 acres in the
Maverick county irrigation district,
now under development, for a con-
sideration involving millions of dol-
lars, is one of a number of recent
transactions showing confidence in
Texas. This land is to be resold in
travel, showing little or no regard
for the rights of others. New roads
are being worn out quickly by the
heavy truck traffic. Possibly the
best remedy would be some kind >.f
a toll for vehicles using highway.',
for commercial purposes.
Better Cotton Needed

ATTENTION
TURKEY RAISERS
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9TH, we will open our Turkey
Dressing Plants and will be in position to buy all the good, fat, well
matured turkeys you can bring us. Turkeys this year, as usual,
will be bought on grade: Hens, 9 lbs. and up; Toms, 14 lbs. and up;
Poor and Underweight turkeys marketed at this time will only low-
er the price on all grades.
Make a close inspection of each and every turkey that you
want to bring to market. Then and there, apply the Golden Rule,
by asking yourself whether the turkeys you are ottering for sale are
of quality you would serve on your own table. If you do this, you
can bring your turkeys to us with the implicit confidence that you
will receive the right grade and price.
For the last 1 5 years we have furnished you a market second
to none in Texas. We expect to do so again this year. Right at
this time, we do not believe turkeys will bring a high price as last
year, due to the fact that all commodities are much lower. As
much as we would like to see turkeys be an outstanding commodity
over all other farm products, we do not believe we will be able to
pay an out of proportion price for them.
an
We buy and sell on the market every day in the year and have
unlimited outlet for quality turkeys. \ our guess is as good as
ours or any one in the business what the market will do. We pos-
itively know we will be in position to pay the m^iket puce. W e
will be glad to have you come in and talk the turkey situation over
with us and shall appreciate any and all business you favor us
with.

I the best, but it is occasionally nee
cssary to warm the cream as high

| very warm weather the best churn-
ing temperature is usually below 60
degrees. Too thin or too rich cream
will not churn easily; the cream
! should contain about 30 per cent
butterfat. Cream that is ripened
slightly churns more easily than
■sweet cream. Do not have the churn
more than two thirds full. If too
full, the churning period is longer,
an i if cream foams it fill up the
j churn and prevent concussion. Ropy
i;j ' fermentation of the cream also pre•
"l?l | vents concussion. This may be pre-
vented by -terilizing he utensil. and
producing the milk and cream under
anitnry conditions. Other reasons
i'or difficult churning are the cows
or the feed. A cow with some in
dividual peculiarity or one far ad-
vanced in the lactation period may
give cream that is hard to churn.
Feeds that produce hard fat—such

CHRISTMAS CARDS
WE ARE SHOWING THE PRETTIEST LINE FOR THE MOST ATTRACTIVE PRICES
THIS YEAR THAT WE HAVE EVER HAD. -
Engraved or Printed
Instead of serving the same type
of menu day after day, introduce a
little variety in plan, yet have the
kinds of food needed for a balanced
diet. If you have been accustomed
to serving a fruit for dessert and a
starchy vegetable with the meat,
have a fruit appetizer and a starchy
dessert, for a change. For example,
cantaloupe for the appetizer, or fruit
cup and hot gingerbroad with or
without cream, for dessert.
