East Texas land, Mr. Victor H. Schof-
febnayer, agricultural editor of the
Dallas News, in a visit to Winnsboro,
gathered the following facts and pre-
sented them in a most convincing
manner.

splendid crop of peaches, tomatoes,
truck of every kind and with per-
haps another $100,000 from similar
sources in sight before the season
ends. . ...
“A two-inch rain at the critical
tjm«i pulled many latent crops “out
of the hole” and insured big sweet
potato and ribbon cane sugar crops.
Winnsboro Has Vision V
“Perhaps the outstanding thing to
be found at Winnsboro is the deter-
mination of the thinking men of the
community to get famers to farm in-
tensively and aiot extensively. They
Ir
are encouraging the planting of new
ill
’'orchards of peaches, plums and apples
and just now there is a movement to
make Winnsboro a $1,000,000 straw-
berry market in the next three years.
“Two and a half million
a nail million straw-
berry plants of the Klondykc variety
from Arkansas will be set out on
approximately 1,000 acres in. the
Winnsboro district this year on the
farms of selected men in whom Mr.
W. A. Nabers, sales manage
Winnsboro Fruit and Truck
n
tion, has faith. These plants will be
given intensive cultivation and ferti-
lization and the results shou’ I prove
profitable. The soil types are adapted
to the raising of strawberries and
other fruits. There is a movement
on to plant a large acreage to black-
berries and peihaps to erect a can-
ning plant similar to those which
have proved so profitable at Lindale
it Smith county. Strawberries and
blackberries can be expected to pro-
duce from $200 to $500 r.n acre under
proper conditions, as the records of
East Texas producers show.
Can Not Fill All Orders
“The markets for fruit and truck
this year have been exceptionally fa-
vorable, said Mr. Nabors. He could
have disposed of perhaps ten times
as many peaches, plums, cantaloupes,
watermelons, tomatoes, eggplants,
onions and other crops as the section
produced. Dallas, Fort Worth, the
Panhandle and South Plains, Okla-
homa and New Mexico points were
the chief markets. Hundreds of
truckloads of fruits and vegetables
have gone to East and Central Texas
markets where they brought fancy
prices. Even the culls, which would
hove been sold with difficulty in an-
other year, brought good money be-
cause of the shortage of fruits' and
vegetables in many parts of the State.*
“Small fortunes have been made
from a few acres in the Winnsboro
district this season. For instance,
Billy Bradford and daughter, Mis
Helen, visited at Dallas Sunday. The
were accompanied by Mr. Bradford1
other daughter, Miss Christene, wh
has been visiting Mrs. Herschel Neel;
Apton Parker of Dallas is visitin
his parents, -Mr. and Mrs. F. M. I
Parker.
Horace Mills of Troup is visitin
his uncle, John Mills, and family.
Reed Barkley of Troup was a vis
ter at Arp Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. Matthews of Tylc
were recent guests of Mr. and Mr
H. C. Lowry.

her sister, Mrs. Cook, who lives
Southwest Texas.
Mr. and Mrs. Jim Taliaferro an

PINE SPRINGS CHURCH NOTE
-ii
The picture we present herewith is the office of Carlton Lumber Com-
pany on North Broadway. This is an institution which has contributed its
full quota in commodity and in service toward the general forward move-
ment of our city and section.
Away back in 1897, twenty-eight years ago, the Carlton Lumber Com-
pany began business in Tyler. Its growth has been constant and the circle
of its friends and patrons has widened with each passing year.
But mere age of a business institution is not necessarily an index of its
usefulness to the community, nor necessarily a criterion of fair dealings toward
its patrons. However, it can be set down as a thing generally trpe in a very
great majority of instances that those business institutionjs which have sur-
vived thru long periods and grown with the passing of years have founded
themselves upon the bed rock of honest service and kept their operations in-
variably within the rules prescribed by sound and ethical business precepts.
That these considerations have been the primary motive of the Carlton
Lumber tompany we are sure'none who knows the men composing it will
gainsay. They have not at any time within the nearly three decades they have
operated sought to extend their business or enlarge their trade by superficial
methods. They have studiously and modestly rejected methods of business
building that would smack of the hot-house process which is no better adapt-
ed to the building of a strong and permanent business than it is to the pro-
duction of a hardy and enduring plant or fruit tree.
The Carlton Lumber Company has specialized in those lines which prop-
erly pertain to a business of the character of theirs—and in rendering that
quality of merchandising service that retains a patron once he has been gained.
They have not dealt in “side lines,” nor in activities but collaterally related

Is not so bad. This was on the farm
of F. J. Miller, who planted them dur-

in June. This seems destined to be-

and the plants distributed to growers
where the latter do not intend to
raise their own plants.
“At recent price* many an acre of
Winnsboro cabbage brought $200, an
acre of tomatoes from $200 to $300,
an acre of Irish potatoes from $125
to $200, an acre of cantaloupes $100,
an acre of watermelons $75 to $100
and sometimes $200, while peaches
yielded from $200 to $300 an acre.
Ship 250 Cars
t “The Winnsboro district this sea-
« has shipped practically 260 cars
fruits and vegetables not counting
s movements. One small buy-
arts that he has handled $5,000
of perishable porducts in the
few weeks. Prices have stood
and quite recently peaches brought
•fiO to $3 a bushel, “ring-packed."

perhaps 15,000 bales.

CHURCH NOTES
Farm population in Texas shows
a substantial increase since 1920, ac-
cording to figures made public re-
cently by the census bureau from a
survey concluded in January.
The report shows plainly that Tex-
as farmers are going back to and stay-
ing “down on the farm.”
A healthy gain in the number of
farms is likewise revealed by the cen-
sus report, t
Twenty-five counties out of 252 in
the State show 2621 more farms at
the close of 1924 than there were in
1920, -and this despite the fact that
when the 1920 census was taken there
was an unprecedented era of pros-
P The report was based on 25 counties

ICE CREAM
:
In addition to being a cooling and delicious refreshment, ICE CREAM is a real food
for old and young alike. The rich wholesome milk and cream it contains is healthful and
necessary for growing babies and children. Get away from the idea that all ICE CREAM
is made from powders and canned milk. Some of it*is, but we will be glad to furnish the
names of producers in Smith county from whom we buy hundreds of gallons of milk and
cream daily.
Our CREAM is manufactured in the largest and most modern factory in East Texas,
and we invite comparison of our product with any manufactured in Texas. Let us prove our
statement by sending you a packer today.
Vanilla, Chocolate, Banana Nut, Fruit Salid, Cherry Nut, Black Walnut, Honey Moon
Special, in stock at all times. Also Orange, Pineapple and Lime Ices.
