DIVERSIFYING ADVOCATED
BY WEST TEXAS C. OF C.
Plans for the annual livestock
campaign of the West Texas
Chamber of Commerce Livestock
Bureau have been completed and
ihclude an increase in the activi-
ties of the organization in that
dairy cattle and poultry as well
as hogs. J. W. Ridgeway, Chair
Aian of the Committee, and
formerly head of the Dairy De-
partment at A. & M. College, C.
C. French of the Ft. Worth
Stockyards Company, and a
Poultry expert from A. & M.
will handle these three devai’t-
.uents in an extended tour
throughout West Texas Ar-
rangements have been made
whereby farmers can secure
through their local communities,
in co-operation with the West
Texas Chamber of Commerce,
tbogs or dairy cattle in carload
iots at very low prices.
The purpose of the campaign
is to encourage diversiiled farm
ing in West Texas and to show
the farmer not only the need of
dairying but the profit there is
in combining these three branch-
es of farming.
Last year over thirty carloads
of hogs were handled m this!
way for West Texas farmers and j
from the interest that is being
manifest in dairying, this year's |
campaign should greatly exceed1
all others in the increasing of
livestock farming in West Texas.,

SEAGRAVES CHAUTAUQUA
BLYTHE POSTOFFICE TO BE
CHANGED TO SEAGRAVES
Reports come from Washing-
ton that the postoftice of Blythe,
Texas, will soon be discontinued
and changed to Seagraves.
These two places are really one
arid the same, Blythe is the name
of the postoftice, established
many years ago in the north part
of Gaines county, about eighteen
miles north of Seminole. When
the Santa Fe built their road
from Lubbock to that point, in-
stead of calling the place Blythe
they used the name Seagraves,
and the railroad station is now
known as Seagraves and the
postoftice is Blythe, which is in-
deed awkward to the public, and
confusing1 to newcomers or peo-
ple wanting to go to that point.
Tiie postal authorities have
agreed to make the* change ac-
cording to reports which will be
done as soon as all the red tape
can be wound up that Unde Sam
has connected with'every propo
sition that goes through his
hands.
