Olton has suffered for the lack of
railroad ever since the town was
organized nearly twenty years ago.

and other county seat towns of the
Plaini have gruwn into prosperous
cities ss the result of the railroad
connections they now have. Olton

The Olton country is wonderfully
adapted to the production of small
grains and sorghum crops. Corn and
cotton likewise make splendid yields
at small production rusts. . Truck
and vegetable crops would make big
profits if they could b marketed
promptly. Despite the lack of rail-
road facilities a farmer in I-smb
County lat year mads more than
$1000 clear profit on two a-re of
cpi.ms. Ths entire county la under-
laid by a stratum of pure water
which is obtained at a very shallow

to irrigate crops profitably. Climatic

The rate was pntentrd in 1916. and
this is the first time it has been
shown in West Texas and as it is
easily manufactured these men will
make and distribute them front here
in large numbers.
K. A. Morgan T. A. Fletcher and
D. N. Uswell. all of Lubbock are

manager Mr. Fletcher equipped his
car with two of the gatrs in a manner
lhat they can hs completely demon

ness at the rate of
several mutton
dollars a day according to the an-
nual report of that organization sub-
mitted today to Congress.
L'n-to Nov. 30 the date of the re-
nort. the corporation said its ad
vances for agricultural and live stock
purposes totaled more than $82-
000000 of which the principal items
were loans on cotton aggregating
$22000000 on grain $10000000
live stock $13000000 and for gen
eral agricultural purposes l.H.OUU-
000.
Calling attention to the fact that
its powers for financing agricultural
rredit relief were not broadened un-
til last August the corporation de-
clared that it had perfected its organ-
ization of credit agencies in various
sections of the country and by the lat-
ter part of October its machinery
both in Washington and in the field
was completed.
"Within the last few weeks" the
report said "the corporation has
been passing upon from forty to
fifty applications daily ranging in
the aggregate from one million to
several million dollars."
In addition to the agricultural fi-
nancing advances were reported ag-
gregating $51500000 on exports of
which the largest items were $28-
000000 on cotton and $11500000
on grain.
Summarizing its loans the corpor-
ation showed that $52000000 had
been advanced to co-operative asso-
ciitions $72000000 to banking and
financial institutions and jy.ui'o-
000 to exporters covering both agri -
cultural and export advances a t.
tal of $131000000.

HELP BUILD LUBBOCK
It is un necessary to ttate that tha
money we have spent as a town ia
equipping the schools etc. to meet
the demand of the- fastest growing;
town on the Plains has proven worth
while and we are very proud of th
optimistic influences that created
and proposed these improvements.' .

bock and shall always be of the opirr-
k-ii that too high estimate cannot In

West Texas i.ut one motive has been
involved and one id-a predominant
ami that for service to Lubbock and
that. service has been appre-
ciated and relied upon by our fallow
business men is encouragement
enough to continue in that one at-
mosphere by each and every indivi-
dual in any way associated with the
operation of the Avalanche.
1921 has been a most peculiar year
as though business was in no degree
on a sound hasis it was o far above
our best expectations and hopes that
we might well feel thankful
Lubbock too has grown in spite of
these conditions which makes us
look into 'he future with stimulated
hope and that for the development
to be ever incrensing and with great-
er volume art the days of the new-
year advance.
Let us til feel that in the develop-
ment and growth of our home and
town w have a most conspicuous
part that cannit be coped with oy
any except oursves and cr-ntinue
our efforts in a st.-aight-farward con-
scientious manner that will be eoa-
structivt of better ideals for the
new-comer and let him feel that is
