prices may decline after a temp-
orary rise. In 1914-1915 the products
rose then fell during the second
year, then rose in the last years
of the war, then fell to very low
! levels the next year. With the great
lt.'n ! "umber of governmental agencies
now at work, it is very doubtful
that prices will be permitted to
vary up and down as they permit-
ted to do in 1917-20, but will be
controlled at a certain level.

By this time the insects are getting
scarce and about 40 to 50 days are
required to really finish a turkey
that has a "frame" and needs fat-
tening. The fattening period not
only adds pounds to sell but also
improves the quality. Grain feed-
ing alone may put on fat, but a
mash feeding is best to make a
smooth skin, firm flesh and few
pin feathers. Some prefer to buy
their feed, but if you have home
grown grain to feed, then you can
make a satisfactory mash by using
30 pounds ground corn, 20 pound
corn, 20 pounds gray shorts, 15
pounds ground oats, and 15 pounds
meat scraps or dried milk, and 1
pound of salt. This can be given
either as a wet mash or dry mash
feed twice a day.
Last year Texas farmers sold 3,-
285.000 turkeys which netted them
$6,866,000, or about $2.09 per bird.
This was 66c less per bird than the
average price per turkey all over
the United States, and is $1.10 be-
low the price received by the good
grade turkeys. A few years ago,
Texas not only produced more
turkeys than any other state but
the quality was good. Within the
ast few years other states have
brought in a new "baby beef" type
! turkey that fleshens well, and
finishes into a high bird. This
superior breeding and good feeding
have enable them to produce better
quality turkeys that Texas turkeys.
Texas turkeys are discriminated
against in the Eastern and North-
ern markets. By proper feeding and
finishing Texas Turkeys can be re-
stored to its former position in the
turkey world.

Notes From the
County Agent
By A. S. ELLIOTT
1940 AAA Program to Continue
The outbreak of the general war
Europe will not cause all of the
'.ivities of the AAA program to
'^p, the county office was notified
" a copy of a telegram from Mr
W. Duggan, Director, Southern
■flion, and Secretary Wallace. In
• statement, Mr. Wallace pointed
. that the surpluses and carry-
•rs that exist in all commodities
re such that there will be no
rtages in case the war becomes
■••leral. The sugar marketing
tas for a few southern states
re lifted, but this is not likely to
.open on cotton and wheat at
"sent.
The world carryover of wheat is
t million bushels, an all-time
and about twice the carryover
the beginning of the last war.
e carryover of corn is almost 3
■i lion bushels. The supply of cot-
i will furnish exports for almost
0 years were no more cotton be
t on the market this year. Meat
-imals are plentiful, as the in-
•cted slaughter of hogs in 1939-40
«'l be about 7 million more head
in for 1938-39. Other products
.ch as cottonseed oil, lard butter,
--esemilk, soybean oil are far in
ress of the present or expected
nand for these products.
Vnother factor to consider is that
Feeding Turkeys
Since Thanksgiving has been
moved up by the President, that
means we will have an ecrlier
turkey market than usual. As a
general rule turkeys in Montague
County this year are light, thin and
not likely to be first grade turkeys
by the time the market opens un-
less feeding begins very soon.
For best results in feeding, most
flocks need to be wormed either by
the individual method of a worm
capsule for each bird, or the flock
treatment of 2 percent tobacco dust
in the feed for about three weeks.
In most cases the flock treatment is
easier to do.
Turkeys that are ready for the
fattening pen for the early market
should be put on feed by the mid-
dle of September and should be on
full feed by the first of October.

QUESTION: Is it true that chil-
dren have greater ability to learn
than adults? At what age does
the ability to learn new things be-
gin to grow leess?
REPLY: No, children do not have
a greater ability to learn than ad-
ults. In a study of this problem
made in 1927 under the direction
of Dr. E. L. Thorndike of Teachers
College, Columbia University, it
was found that the peak of rapid
learning ability was somewhere
about the age 23 or 24 and remained
unchanged until about the age 29,
decreasing slowly after this at the
rate of 1 percent a year until 55.
Adults between the ages of 25 and
45 were superior to children in
learning ability and equal to or
superior to adolescents between 16
and 18.
Moreover, evidence was found
that the slight loss of ability to
learn during middle age was more
than offset by increased experience.
The conclusions of this study all
pointed to the fact that age is no
bar to learning.
QUESTION: What do the terms
'Vocational Education' and 'Voca-
tional Guidance' mean? Is there
FOR GIRL'S SCHOOL

J. L. BELLAH'S
any difference?
REPLY: Vocational education is
training for a particular trade or
line of work. Its purpose is to
qualify students for jobs. Trade
schols, secretarial schools, etc
come under this category.
Vocational guidance has for its
purpose the aiding of people in
selecting the line of work for
which they are best fitted. It
analyzes particular aptitudes, sug-
gests appropriate fields, supplies
niformation as to the require-
ments and possibilities of various
occupations, and often goes on to
indicate what steps should be
taken to enter a chosen occupa-
tion.
QUESTION: Is there much fina-
ncial grafting in connection with
the schools? How can communi
ties act to eliminate graft?
REPLY: According to newspaper
reports, financial grafting hit
schools, either through the delib-
erate theft of school funds or by
public funds for private gain, is
not unknown. There have been
school board members reported as
requiring "kick-backs" from the
first salary payments of newly ap-
pointed officers or teachers. Oth-
ers have accepted gifts or money
for a vote in selecting an architect
or choosing a particular product.
Insurance, building, and other re-
serve funds ofer temptations forr
borrowings which are never re-
turned . Or the graft may be in
the school itself—from the sale of
food or football tickets.
Many other methods have been
employed. Duplicate requisitions
and purchase orders have been
used to deceive. Rubber-stamp
school board signatures have been
used instead of peersonal signa-
tures. School board members
have encouraged land purchases
which have resulted in unnecess-,
arily high costs.
QUESTION: My son is only four
and a half and he wants to go to
the school kindergarten this year
because his friends are going.
Should he go? He has already
gone to a nursery school for a
year. He seems as mature as his
five-year-old friends. I do not
want to push him, but if he is
ready to go I do not want to hold
him back.
IJEPLY: The proper age for going
to kindergarten or school is not
so much the age in years as the
degree of mental, physical, and
social maturity reached. If your
son s above the average mentally
—as can be measured by intellig-
ence tests, if he is well advanced
for his age in height, weight, and
general development, if he is
socially well-poised and balanced
in his relations with other chil-
dren, there seems to be no reason
why he should not go.
Although pushing a child be-
yond his capabilities can do great
harm, harm can also be done by
retarding a child who happens to
be advanced for his age. You
should consult the school officials
and arrange to have the proper
tests and examinations made.

QUESTION: How much of the
school revenue is obtained from
the states and how much from
local funds?
HEPLY: The distribution of the
sources of school revenue vary
widely from state to state. Ac-
cording to government figures the
average distribution for the
country in 1935-30 was 29.3 per
cent from state funds; 7.2 percent
from county funds; 63 per cent
from local district funds; .5 per
cent from Federal funds.

She: Why, Doctor, you told mo
to show you my tongue, but you
haven't even looked at it!"
Doctor: "No. ... It was only to
keep you quiet while I wrote out
the prescription."
"You just tell me about it, my
boy."
"A tattooed heart with the name
Mabel, on it."
'And now, doctor, that I've told
you I am going to marry Anne,
there's one thing I want to get off
my chest."
The newspaper editor was in-
structing a new reporter.
"Never state as a fact anything
you are not abisolutely sure about.'
said the editor, "to keep on the safe
side, you should always use the
words, 'alleged,' 'claimed,' 'rumor-
ed." and so on, unless you are sure
that everything you report is true."
The new reporter was sent out
to get society items, and the next
day the following paragraph ap-
peared in the paper:
"It is rumored that a b.-idge
party was given yesterday by a
number of reputed ladies. Mrs.
Jones, it is said, was hostess. The
guests, it is alleged, iwith the
exception of Mrs. Jackson, who
says she comes from Ohio, were
all local people. Mrs. Jones claims
to be the wife of Howard Jones,
who is rumored to be doing a thriv-
ing business in town, allegedly in
real estate."
Farmer Jenkins made his way
into the village post office that also
was the general store.
"Anything for me?" he inquired
of the postmaster. The other raked
over a few parcels and letters, but
found nothing.
"Don't see nothing." he said. "Did
you expect something?'
"Yes." answered the farmer, "I
was expecting a card from Aunt
Jenny, tellin' me when she's com-
in'."
•Hannah," called the postmastei
to his wife," seen a card from Mr.
Jenkins' Aunt Jenny?"
"Yes" came the prompt answu,
"She's comin' down Tuesday.' *
Tom: "The same tornado that
blew away my father's wagon,
dumped an automobile in the fro til*
yard."
John: "Huh, that's no tornado,
that was a trade wind."
