P. A. TURNER
OF TEXARKANA
Candidate for District Judge
A Lawyer of Ability and a Judge of Experience
A Judge who kept the Docket clear in seven Comities for more than nine
yearn and who completely wifmd out t he large Criminal Docket in Bowie
County and made it possible to abolish the Criminal District Court. Cass
County has had th« District Judge for twelve years.
1 was appointed district judge by Governor Lan-
ham in October, 1908. This district was then com-
posed of Bowie, Cass, Marion, Morris. Camp, Titus and
Franklin counties. 1 was elected by the people in 1904,
and again in 1908, and went out of the office in De-
cember. 1912, having served nine years and three
months. Jn 1918 1 was elected by the people of Bowie

was elected by the people state senator of t he first dis-
trict of Texas, composed of four counties, which office
1 now hold, but which will expire this year.
During the 13 years and 7 months that I was dis-
trict judge 1 never lost a day from sickness. During
the time 1 have been state senator I did not lose a day
in the regular session of t he legislature. 1 answered
every roll call and voted on every question, and was
never out of the senate when it was in session. My
record as judge and senator is before you. Sixty-five
years of my lifn have been spent in and near this dis-
trict. The district is now composed of Bowie aud Cass
counties. I made ycu the very best district judge that
it> was in my power to make, aud I also made you the
very best senator that it was in my power to make. I
have spent a life-time at hard study to qualify myself
for the judiciary. If you elect me your district judge I
will do my utmost to make you the best district judgft
within my power, 1 thank you from the bot tom of my
heart for your favors, and solicit your Votes in the
*
democratic primary in July. Cass county has had the

(-ASS, COUNTY'S TIMBER.
In 1909 the United States cen-
sus figures credited the farmers
of Cass county as having 178,406
acres in farm woodlands. In
1919 this acreage had been in-
creased to 180,464 acres. How-
ever, this is forty-two per cent
of the total farm land of the
county.
Practically all of the virgin
pine has been cut m this county
and much of the land in the
farmers woodlots is producing
very little timber of merchanta-
ble quality. This are uuder
forest management could annu-
ally produce from 300 to 800
board feet of lumber per acre
depending upon the amount of
caae given it and the quality of
the soil.- The total value ol such
mo annual crop of timber would
amount to several hundred thou
sands of dollars.
The farmer who has a wood lot
can do much for his state by
growing as much good timber
as he can on land uot needed for
farm crops. He can also insure
himself ol a bounttou* reward
for his labors by providing a
ciop of first class timber, which
will he ready fir the market
when our present virgin timber
is exhausted aud prices for sec-1
ond growth timber are greatly
increased over present prices of
virgin timber. A farmer's wood-
lot under careful forest manage-
ment is as safe ami more talua-3
hie, per Unit of co9t, th u any
insurance policy that he can
carry. The T exas Forestry De-
partment, with headquarters at
College Station, has issued a bul-
letin containing practical ailviro
for the farmers of Northeast
Texas who are interested in
managing their farm woodlots
properly. This bulletin will hu
sent free of charge to Texas riti.
zeus. Furthermore the forestry
department can arrange to have
a specialist examine a limited
number of farmer's woodlots in
Northeast Texas county for the
purpose of giviug practical de<
moustrationx.
