Don’t Twist Your Reach
IF you sprained your wrist that would
’*■ be one way of “twisting your reach/*
You’d have a lame arm which would seri-
ously affect your carrying capacity, the
same as in the case of a lame wagon suffer-
ing from a twisted or broken reach. On some
wagons the rear gear and reach are as one — they
work together—so that if the road is rough and
uneven the reach is subjected to constant strain
and twisting. %,
The Standardized Auto-Track Weber Wagon
has a swivel reach coupling that takes all the twist
off the reach. It works independently of the gear
and balances the load, keeping ^the same amount
on each wheel. It holds th^ brake bar constantly
in the center of the rear wheel. It permits the
wheels to follow the unevenness of the road with-
out twisting or straining any part of the wagon.
This is just one of many superior features
to be found on the new “king of all farm wagons,”
the Auto track Weber. Letus show you the others.

by some of the best Entomologists! in.
the State and out of the State.
Dr. M. C. Tanquary, State Entomolo-
gist, Texas Experiment Station, is
checking and assisting in the work
here, also Mr. R. R Reppert, Exten-
sion Entomologist, Texas A. & M. Col-
lege.
The Niagara Sprayer Company has
also placed a man here for the season,
Mr. J. A. Oswalt, Entomologist,- for-
merly of Mississippi Agricultural Col-
lege. These Entomologists, together
with Mr. Tackett will not only closely
direct the work her.e but areraaking a
study of the so-called “cotton flea” and
will do experimental work with phis in-
sect. These men are great believers
in weevil control work and say they
think it just a matter of getting ma-
chinery especially equipped to proper-
ly handle the poison, Calcium Arse-
nate, and adapted to this section, that
that the weevil will be so controlled
that a good crop of cotton can be
grown under th^ most serious weevil
infestation. Quoting from. Dr. B. R.
Coad, Government Entomologist, who
has developed this method for the
Government we should" have great
hopes for this method, He says: “The
gains secured under different con-
ditions in carefully checked experi-
mental plats have ranged as high as
1,000 pounds of seed cotton per acre
and undoubtedly this amount has been
exceeded in some large scale work. It
seems safe to assume that in fairly
fertile soil, subject, to serious degrees
of weevil injury average gains of from
300 to 500 pounds of seed cotton per
acre are quite possible.” /
The cotton in San Batrieio County is
as fine as anyone could wish It looks
like a bale per acre, especially on the
black land if insert pests can be con-
trolled an<| even if they are allowed
to do their usual depredations we have
a promise of a heavy crop in the black
landa where the weevil is not nearly
so numerous as in the timber arid
sandy soil

All ex-service men are urgently re-
quested to be present.
We are a little behind in this matter
now, as, other towns have already or-
ganized and have their Legion on a
working basis. No time should be lost
for if a Legion Is not perfected here,
Our young men will join at other
places, and we will lose a number of
valuable members.
We are toid that around fifty or
sixty ex/soldiers and sailors are with-
in this territory, and that number
would make a splendid Legion for Sin-
ton.
Most people do not realize just how-
important the American Legion is. nor
what a stupendous force it is destined
to become in the future of our country.,
Thirfk of the over four millions of
young men who are eligible to mem-
bership in this organization. Think
of the strong, hearty, brave boys w-ho
will compose its membership, and
think "what a force it will eventually
become when they all work together
through organization. .They will be
able to accomplish what they desire.
They will become the greatest factor
