POINT ENTERPRISE, Feb 1G
—i'uneral services for Mrs. Bar-
bara Ann Henry, 91 year old resi-
dent ot this part of the county
and pioneer of the Mexia district
who died at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. H. F. Dennie at

morning were held nt the church
here at 1:30 o'clock this alter
noon Rev. E. E. Rogers, of Mexia
had charge of the services. Burial
was in the Point Enterprise ceme-.
tery.
Mrs. Henry had lived in Mexia
and in this district 40 years be-
fore moving to Ennis to live with
her dp i ghter, Mrs, Dennie, six
years ago.
Mrs. Dennie is the only survivor
of the immediate family, and there
W. B Landrum, secretary of the
Mexia Chamber ol' Commerce and
president of the Lions club, was
the principal speaker on the week-
ly Rotary program given at the
noon luncheon of the club at
Liontarian Inn Thursday.
Self centralization of individual
and of Mexia business "was dc*-
icribed by the speaker who dwelt
at length upon the subject of trad-
ing in Mexia, and the necessity
for sonte outside intercourse with
larger cities.
JUsing as.a.sub-topic the growth
of Mexia, or the fall of Mexia as
a city, owing to business condi-
tions, Mr. Landrum brought out
the need of good roads, better
business, me'.nods, and a bettcj
civic spirit, and brought out tlic
relation of good roads, transporta-
tion, trucks, and chain stores to the
rise or fall of the smaller cities
"It its the present tendency,' the
speaker declared, "For the larger
cities to grow larger and the
smaller ones to grow smaller and
weaker. In 20 years from now
some of the lerger cities will be
much larger, and some of the
business. '
There were approximately 21,-
0()0,000 dairy cows in 121, and
there are 21,000,000 at this time.
Here in Texas there has been
a lot said—and more written—
about Increasing our dairy indus-
try, and some few localities have
added cows, but where did they
get the sows It has simply been
a matter of transfer from one
section of the state to another—
just swapping among ourselves.
Very few cows have been brought
into Texas and very few will be
brought in. We can not now af-
ford the outlay of cash necessary
to make this the great dairying
state it is destined to become.
The way we must do this is by
the introduction of good sires.
The Iowa Experiment Station in
co-operation with the United
States Department of Agriculture
tecured a number of very ordinary
cows from the Ozark mountain
region—cows that on the average
are like the cows 01 this county.
Low Butter Record.
These cows under good care
were put on test with the follow-
ing results for the year: milk
production—1.110 pounds, butter
fat~101 pounds.
These cows were crossed on sires
with a Register of Merit rceori
of 700 puonds. In other words the

Organizer Plans
New Branch for
State Retailers
H. W. Arthur, state organizer
for the Texas Retail Merchants
^ Association, who with a staff of
men has been here for several
days, declares that the state as-
sociation is planning to reorganize
the local association and install a
new system of credit ratings.
The staff w'li compile a credit
rating book covering customers of
Mexia stores and those of other
towns nearby.
Whether Mexia is to grow or tc
closS up remains with the business
men themselves, the speaker
brought, out n his talk."
"We should not be self-centered
but should branch Out," It was
stated by Landrum. "We will grow
faster in our bigness, than if we
craw! back into our shells." Amal-
gamation of the two counties
Freestone and Limestone into the
Bi-Stont Empire was lauded by
the speaker. The development of
a Bi-Stone Chamber of Commerce
was also foretold by the secretary
of the local Chamber. Announce-
ment of a flower show, and a
"Home Beautiful" campaign was
made by Mr. Landrum. who asked
co-operation from the wives of
the members ct the club.
"The growth of our city depends
upon oui ability to do things in
a big way, and our opportuni-
ties for doing those things," wa*
the gist of in* of the side-topics
used by the speaker.
Mr. Landrum closed his addrese
with a quotation from the well
known Negro pcet, Paul Laurence
Dunbar on "Opportunity."
John Held. Jr., was given an
ovation as the newest member of
the club. W. A. Putman of Hub-
bard brother of J. G. Putman, re-
tired Methodist preacher, of this
city, was guest of the chtb.
sires produced 700 pounds of but-
ter fat in one year.
Heifers fiom the first cross-rec-
oid 5,828 pounds milk—286 pounds
butter fat. These heifers were
mated with other sires of high
production records with the follow-
•ng results: 8,058 pounds milk—
o,. pounds butter fat.
Thus we find a to pound butter
fat increase in the first cross
and 96 pounds increase in the
second cross. We find the milk
production double in the second
with an increase of 75 pound?
butter fat—1,875 pounds butter
fat at 40 cents equals $760. Over
a period of eight years the heifers
from his sire for a period of one
year will amount to !f6,000. The
cost of such a sire, though hign
is a wonderful investment, and
we should begin at once to w rK
on the plan to place fifteen Regis-
ter of Merit sires in this county,
We cannot afford to continue to
raise calves inferior to the dams.
This is what we are now doing.
Sometime in early March an at-
tempt will be made to place 15
good sires in this county. Some
few men who have had the mat-
ter explained tc them are inter-
ested. One or two men from each
community will be called together
in a meeting. These men will e
invited, because of the interest
nanifested by them. Of course we
are unable to know all who might j
be interested, and for that reason
ara asking that you write or see
the County Agent at an early
date.
The matter of introducing these
good sires is either right or
wrong. If it is right there is no
reason why the County Agent
should have to work several
months on it. We should be in
position to go ahead at once. When
we double the production of our
cows, we will make money.
