to plant it anywhere without getting
beans. It is the most encouraging
vegetable for the beginning gardener.
It is the best of succession crops,
one planting succeeding another and
keeping this vegetable in season long-
er than any other. Best of all, it is
one of the best liked and most popular
of vegetables and the worst cook in the
world can’t do much to make it in-
edible.
Southern bean planting starts in
February, according to the latitude and
continues until June. It is resumed
again in early fall.
Dwarf string b:ans are the first to
be planted in the spring. Pole beans
come next, with the limas, demanding
heat and absolute freedom from chill
for their success, last of the bean fam-
ily to start.
Light soil is preferred, by the bean.
It will thrive in heave soil, but its
yield is better in a high r medium pro-
vided that it has plenty of fertilizer.
They are grown to best advantage in
rows, the single plants being spaced
from four to eight inches apart, ac-
and railroads met at Houston Wed
nesday to coordinate the cattle buy-
ing program in Texas and attempt to
inform the public generally of the
problems of the program.
C. Z. Crain, hi ad of the surplus com-
modities department and R. D. Mc-
Crum, cattle movement supervisor of
the Texas Relief Commission, attend-
ed the meeting from Austin.
Explaining the county quota basis,
Crain said it was necessary to limit
the shipments from each county to
450 head per week in order to avoid
congestion at pens and processing
plants can handle only about 70,000
head of cattle per day at capacity. At
the same time, Crain said he had been
assured from Washington that the
buying program will be continued "un-
til the emergency has been met.”
To farmers and ranchmen whose
herds have not yet been reached Crain
declared that the program will con-
tinue until every cattle raiser has had
a chance to sell the animals he wishes
to cull from his herd.
As a result of the government’s
program, the cattle population of
Texas, estimated at near 7,000,000, is
expected to be reduced by approxi-
mately 2,000,000. Already, some 600,-

The bean should be planted one to
two and a half inches deep, varying
the depth according to the texture of
the soil, the shallower plantings in
heavier soil.
Hoeing the bean patch is one of the
essentials of their most successful cul-
ture, but don’t hoe when the vines are
wet with dew or rain. Rust follows the
contact.
Local Dem. Club Notes
The Home Demonstration Club met
with Mrs. R. C. Florip.
Mrs. Chappell told us of the plans
to make a community garden and of
efforts to establish a work center at
Palacios.
We are making big plans for
achievement day. Every club member
please send at .once your entire report
of products canned this year to Mrs.
C. H. Koontz Sec. of club. On Sept.
19th we will meet at the canning
kitchen to discuss the planting of
‘Fall Gardens.” Everyone interested
in starting a garden be sure and come,
whether club member or not.
state.
Under the quota arrangement, the
most acute cases of distressed cattle
are to be handled first, Crain said. In
addition to the 450 head for shipping
purposes, condemnations of cows un-
fit for shipment will bring the total
sales per county per week up to ap-
proximately 050 head. One visit to a
pasture doesn’t necessarily mean that
it is the last. After animals hardest
hit by the drouth have beta eliminated,
federal agents may return later to buy
other undesirable animals, ann further
reduce the surplus.
Crain again asked cattie ow.itrs to
bear in mind that field representatives
are working just as fast as quotas
will allow them and that every effort
will be made to reach all distressed
herds.
President Franklin D. Rosevelt is
to be invited to Texas as an honor
guest at its great Centennial of 1936,
and with the distinguished Texans of
his acquaintance pressing the invita-
tion, there is every reason to believe
that he will accept.
The importance of this visit is em-
phasized by the Dallas News as fol-
lows:
“If President Rosevelt comes to the
great Southwest, at the time of the
Centennial in Texas, he will have a
still bettir opportunity to call atten-
ion to another region for future great-
ness.
“If Texas celebrates its Centennial
worthily, it will attract attention
throughout the United States as a land
of boundless possibilities.
The Southwest must make sure of
the President's attendance at the Cen-
tennials of Arkansas and Texas in
1936. Especially must he come to
Texas.”
President Roosevelt promised Texas
a visit when the Texas special was in
Washington the latter part of April.
This is expected to be an opportune
time for him to return the visit.
"It is a fine thing to be missed by
one’s wife," remarked the newly wed.
“Yes,” admitted the old married
grouch, “especially if it is the flatiron
she is heaving at you.”

It was the pleasure of those who at-
tended the Nazarene Church Sunday
morning to hear Rev. Hollingsworth,
free Methodist minister, bring a very
touching message on the text “Honor
thy Father and thy Mother.”
A short but impressive service led
by our pastor’s wife, Sister White,
gave those who attended the evening
hour of worship a renewed zeal to
love the Lord their God with all their
hearts, and to have no other gods
before Him.
Our pastor, who was unable Sun-
day to fill his pulpit, we hope is im
proving.
We welcome all, both young and
old who care to attend our servicus.

THE QUICKER WAY
Dorothy had bet n praying for a
baby sister. Her mother, while reading
the paper, exclaimed:
“I see Mrs. Smith has a little daugh-
ter.”
“How do you know that, mamma?”
“It says so in the paper,dear: ‘Born,
to Mr. and Mrs. Smith, a daughter.’ ”
Dorothy thought a moment and then
said:
"I know what I’m going to do. I’m
going to stop praying and begin ad-
vertising.”

Advertising
The following was taken from a
circular sent to retail merchants by a
large wholesale houses:
“The value of your local newspaper to
the success of your business cannot
be overestimated. It’s worth all the
support and co-operation you can give
it. For the newspaper is a mirror re-
flecting the life of the community in
which you and your store have an im-
portant part. Your advertisement is
the reflection of your store in the mir-
mor. Everybody sees it there. If it is
not there, the mirror is dark where
your store should be. You are there
but you cannot be seen. Your store is
open for business as usual, but ‘out
of sight, out of mind.’ To keep in step
with the progress of the community,
to get your share of business you must
advertise regularly. Take your news-
paper publisher into your confidence;
he can give you valuable assistance.
EEstablish an advertising budget. Plan
a regular schedule for your advertise-
ment. It's a policy that is followed
by the most successful stores; it’s an
idea that will be profitable for you.”
