"Wm. Smith and Miss Lucy Ander
son were disposed of at public auc
tlon at my farm one mile east ot a
beuut fui fluster of two white calves
before a background of farm imple
ments too numerous to mention in
the presence of about seven guests
induci ng two milk rows six mules
and one bobsled. Rev. Jackson tied
the knot with 200 feet of hay rope
and the bridal couple left on one
good John Deere gang plow for an
extended trip with terms to suit the
(purchaser. They wil be at home to
their friends with one good baby
buggy and a few kitchen utensils
after ten months from date ot sale
to responsible parties and some fifty
chickens."

With the splendid peason in the
ground this spring there is no reason
why a big ucreage should not be'
ptantod to peanuts. In the sandier
sections peanuts should bo given a
thorough try out. Hogs and cattle
can not have better feed than this.
A few acre of peanuts on each farm
will very nearly Insure hog and cow
feed for the winter. Snyder Signal.
You are cerlainy on the high track.
Diversifying will put your section In
much bettor shape. You folks have
always staked too much! on cotton.
You want to get away from that idea.
Tounuts In Scurry county could be
made prontuble both as a salable
product and hog and cattle feed. You
folks haven't the soil .to make wheat
a certain and profitable crop like we
hare on the plains but your soil Is
adapted to many other crops save
that of cotton. We notice with pleas-
ure that you people are boosting
poultry. There is big money In
poultry. It is a mortgage lifter.
Hogs and dairying will go a long way
in putting your section on a more
solid and certain financial founda-
tion. West Texas people must get
away from the all-cotton idea. All
cotton will pauperize any section of
the South. Cotton brings the mort-
gage system to the front. The Idea
Is for people to change front and
raise more at home and buy less ot
the necessities of life and at the
same time have a surplus for the
market. Floyd county Is getting in-
dependently rich raising poultry and
hogs. Our poultry and egg ship-
ments run into the hundreds of thou-
sands of dollars yearly. Our eggs
are shipped by the cars. We no
longer count them by the dozens
but by the case and cars. Your com
mercial organization wq note with
pleasure is behind this diversified
movement. Hack them up with all
tho publicity necessary and make
Scurry county a poultry og and
dairy (Miction and let cotton be rele
gated to the scrap heap. Lockney

GRAYUM DRUG COMPANY I
The RKXAI.I. Stor.
The member ot the sociology class
of the Snyder High school went to
Post last Saturday In connection with
their study of Industry for the pur-
pose of observing tho mill. They
left Snyder at 7:20 a. m. and arrived
in Post about 9:30.
Tho manager Mr. Rrannon took
great interest in showing the pupils
t) rough tho mill and the class seem-
ed to realize the unusual opportunity
of watching the process that cotton
undergoes in being made into cloth.
The class watched the entire process
of the manufacture of the cloth from
the breaking of the bnles until the
cloth was made Into sheets nnd pil-
low tubing and packed ready for
shipment
Tho capacity of all factories Is
determined by the number of spln-
dles and the Post mill has 10.080
spindles. The cost of the erection of
the mill was estimated at $55.00 per
spindle. The number of people em-
ployed at present in the mill is two
hundred and fifty. This mill Is the
only one west of the Mississippi river
which has bleaching facilities. The
buildings are all fireproof and cover
several acres ot ground. Great pre-
caution Is taken to prevent accidents.
Only Garza county cotton ) used.
The most interesting thing the
class saw was the process of spinning
the cotton to threads. This was done
by what Is known as the "drawing"
process. First the cotton was card-
ed into a thin transparent veil some-
thing near a yard wide and this veil
is formed Into a soft roll about the
size of a large drawing pencil. There
were six machines used In this and
through each machine the thread
passed. It was multiplied six times
making thirty-six of these rolls com-
bined Into one thread. When the
thread came out ready for weaving
it had been drawn and made so com
pact that it was about the lze of No.
36 sewing thread. There were 10-
080 threads placed consecutively on
a large spool. The threads were then
washed and starched before they
were ptaced on the riders ready for
weaving. The riders on which the
sheeting is woven are 99 nnd 81 Inch-
es wide. In the bleaching process
the sheeting drew up nine inches
making the standard width of sheet-
ing 72 to 90 Inches wide.
The visitors wore about two and
a half hours on their tour through
the mill. Leaving the mill they all
went to Two Craw Lake where lunch
was spread. After noon several
hours were spent on the lake boat
riding. They then returned to Sny-
der reaching home a littla before
sunset. All report a most enjoyable
time.
Thoso who went are as follows:
Superintendent Hall: Miss Smith
teacher ot the class: Mr. Dabney
Altna Jones. Grace Pcriman Lola
Isaacs. Ora Bentley. Anna Lee Myers

PLANTING TIMK.
The streets of Oak wood lately are
almost devoid of loafers - not that
I hey were loafers but they certainly
did not have much to do during Ihe
winter. Now all of ns are busy
planting. Ookwood Oracle.
Good; but what are you folks
planting that It makes them so
busy? If they are planting cotton
or getting the land ready for cotton
they might be better employed at rat
killing. It would help a lot to thin
out the rats hut to Inerense the cot-
ton surplus will be equivalent to pre-
senting a lew million bales of nice
white lint as a gracious gift to the
cotton spinners. On the other hand
if the lands round and about Oak-
wood are planted to crops that can
he consumed locally without the ad-
dition of high freight rates tho
spinners will have to buy their cotton
us far as Oakwood Is concerned. If
all Ihe other farming communities in
the South would do ns Oakwood
ought to do we would hear no more
of seven-cent cotton. We would
hear no more of lamentation over the
high cost of Nebraska bacon and
KansnsJ corn and Missouri hay and
California beans and Klgin butter
and New Orleans molasses. If the
people of Oakwood vicinage do not
want to raise a cotton crop for a
present to Now York and Liverpool
nnd do not wish to pay tribute to the
corn meat and bean growers of other
sections let them luy off the cotton
patch and lay onto the food and feed
patches. Probably they won't do it.
The cotton bears laupli when you tell '
them the South 'Is about to reduce
her cotton acreage. "We've heard (
that so many times it makes us tired
to listen again" say they. Who can
deny it? Who in fact doesn't know 1

Itself more firmly on a majority ot
Southern farmers than the beer habit
has fastenod itself on the German
population? State Proas.

DUHOO JKKSKY PIGS.
Mr. O. J. Singleton Who lives up
on route 4 in the Ennls Creek neigh-
borhood was in the Signal office
Saturday and reported that he had
a young Duroc-Jersey sow sixteen
months old that had brought a litter
of 16 healthy pigs. Unfortunately
be said the stock killed three of the
pigs and 13 were alive and doing
nicely.
This is right along close to a world
record. The world's record Is be-
lieved to be at San LMcgo. Col. where
a Duroc-Jersey sow recently brought
19 pigs.
Volume ono number one ot the
Gail Gazett has reached our desk
with W. V. Ervin at the helm. We
wish the Gazett a long happy and
prosperous life and when the Katjr
railroad gets to Snyder we might
send it on by Gail If you will look
