THE CITIZENS JOURNAL, ATLANTA, TEXAS
From The County
Agent's Office
Four men ordered more bur clo-
ver seed Thursday, after seeing
the wonderful fields of this clover
grow( that were sold to 171 farm-
ers in 1938. Over forty people from
all over Cass county viewed the
growth of clover. It was learned
that the earlier it is planted the
better it will grow. The clover that
was planted last June was waist
high. That which was planted in
December was six inches high, with
a poor stand. Farms of Clarence
Frost, V. B. Allsup and Henry
Robinson were visited. The early
strain 'of the Southern Bur Clover
goes to seed plenty early so that
it can be turned under in time for
cotton or late corn, and then will
reseed itself perpetually. It was
found to do equally well on pas-
tures too. Seed bought early will
cost approximately one-half what
seed bought in September will cost.
Y'our County Agent will tell you
where you may secure seed.
An outstanding meeting of the
Organized Farmers were held in
Linden on the past Friday. Cliff
Day president of the Texas As-
sociation, delivered the best receiv-
ed tulk ever given on the subject
of what the organized farmers were
doing. He pointed out that the ad-
ministration, Washington, was turn
ing and that it was even more dif-
ficult for the farmers to get a fair
share of the national income. The
i
HOW 00
\fOU 00"'
Cass farmer earned $0,500,000 in
1929, as compared to $1,500,000 in
1938. It would have been less than
$1,000,000 if the Government had
not been friendly and given soil
conservation checks so that the
farmer could live better. Mr. Day
pointed out that the farmer would
have to organize to continue to be
favored.
We observed some cotton fleas
in our cotton last year. There is a
cure for the flea that will curb
the boll weevil at the same time.
It is a mixture of finely powdered
sulphur and calcium arsenate. Any
farmer wishing to run an experi-
ment, if he will let the county agent
know, can have the sulphur furnish
ed free by one of the sulphur com-
panies so that we can get the
method taught in the county. The
flea as you know, gets the tiny
squares about the time they first
appear. Frequently they get the
bottom crop. In some years they
get ionly the late crop.
There's one "best way"
to add sugar to improve
the grain of your cake.
Do you know it?

Early was the first County Agent

No wonder we're celebrating
here'today! You see, twenty-
five years ago, the oldest maker of
electric refrigerators produced the
first Kelvinator. Now, to mark this
25th milestone, Kelvinator has built
the Silver Jubilee models.
Actually we've never before
handled such marvelous refrigerator
"buys". Come in and look at the
sparkling-white, streamlined new
1939 Kelvinator. It's revolutionary
—years ahead in features.
Let us tell you the amazing story
of Kelvinator's new cost-cutting,
cold-making POLARSPHERE. See
Kelvinator's marvelous new family-
planned interior. It's designed to
take away every last trace of drudgery
from meal-planning. Eliminates stoop-
ing, squinting, groping into dark inte-
riors for food... makes it easy to pre-
pare tempting, healthful dishes.
No doubt about it — you'll
want to own one of these beau-
tiful new Kelvinators the mo-
ment you set eyes on it. At prices
like these that's easy to do. And
low easy payment terms can be
arranged. Come in—today—and
SAVE!
