Change in Farm Diet Reported.
Where eight years ago Eastland
County farm families were satis-1
tied with the traditional farm di-
et of meat, bread, tomatoes and
beans, with possibly one or two
other vegetable added during the
garden season, now 85% of home
demonstration club women’s fam-
ilies have a large variety of vege-
tables throughout the season, and
plenty more in cans during the
winter. “It used to be,” says
the home demonstration agent,
,“that tomatoes were only eaten
raw, and that carrots, for in-
stance, were not eaten at all. Now
I 75% of these families are grow-
ing and eatingo'carrots both raw
and cooked, and a large number
I of new uses have been found for
; tomatoes. Through the work of
! demonstrators and co-operators
1 this shift in eating habits is
; spreading gradually throughout
the entire county.”

At the Baptist Church, Sunday,
March 6th.
The pastor will bring a message
on “Home Missions” at the morn-
honr, as it is the beginning of the
more cattle on feed, week of prayer for home missions,
according to January 1st reports
of county agents in 136 counties
to A. L. Smith, livestock special-
ist in the ' Extension Service of
Texas A. & M. College and the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture. In reporting feeding
demonstrations underway agents
reported also any cattle feeding
in progress with which they are
in contact in any way, arid on
this basis the figures show that
W. C. 973 men are feeding 102,448 cat-
tle as compared to 511 men feed-
ing 70,805 head at the same time
last year.
Comarable figures from last
year are not available on lamb
feeding but current reports re-
11; W. Dobson, Gus Jones, W. J. veal that‘286 feeders With. whom
Moore, Carl Ramzy, J. E. Bunnell.t county agents are working in 51
v—:i t w TWkiM»Ai4it counties have 187,534 head of
sheep on feed. ,
Commenting on these figures
Mr. Smith states that the appar-
ent feeding in the face of a rath-
er unfavorable outlook and on the
heels of disappointing returns
last year is an indication that far-
mers and others are turning more
definitely to livestock feeding as a
way of disposing of surplus feed.
County agents are helping most
of these feeders with rations and
records in an effort to make live-
stock feeding one of the founda-
tion enterprises on Texas farms.

At the evening preaching ser-
vice, the time of which has been
changed to 7:30, the pastor plans
to speak on the subject: “War,
its cause and cure.” Where did
war originate? Where was the
first war fought? Is it ever right
to have war? These are some of
the questions that will be discuss-
ed. Our two strong choirs assure
splendid musical program.

War between the United States
and Japan has been talked of ev-
er since the writer can remember,
and since it was probably an old
subject when hri was young. An
illustration was given in a recent
edition of The Crowell News.
The News copied a nice little gem
from its issue of Feb. 8, 19(K7.
“Captain Hobson says that war
with Japan is inevitable, that Ja-
pan can whip the United States
now and that it will take us ten
years to prepare for defense. Well,
then, it’s up to Uncle Sam to run
a bluff until be gains a little
fighting strength.” In the wax-
going on at the pi-esent time Ja-
pan overran Manchuria without
opposition and was supposed to
be able to occupy whatever of
Pecan Improvement Helps Pasture. China proper she might, choose to
attack. The advance on China
not only has not had much l-esults,
By simply cutting out the un-
derbrush to let in the sunlight,
and by budding the trees to im-
proved varieties, Fayette County
farmers are increasing their in-
come from pecans and at the same
time developing lowland pastures
that will carry as many cows to
the acre as 10 acres of ordinary
hillside pasture, according to the
county agent. Grass starts grow-
