Seymour a Part of the Old Mil-

I A bit of S: ymoui'/s history as
given by cne of the club women
of that place and published in
the Baylor County Banner says:
The present site of Seymour
was in the MilLt pasture or cat-
; tie range. Tlxe headquarters’ were
: eight mil s south on Mill r <;r#ek.
This ranch was stocked with des-
peradoes from every clime. Mil-

him that wouldn’t shoot a man
for one of his cows. A eow

Fort Worth, Tex., Oet. 19.—
Over $125,000 will be expended
in Texas this year in farm dsm-
'onstraticn work. The Federal
: Government has appropriated
j $30,COO of this amount and the
; balance has been set aside by the
I different commissioners’ courts
in this State. Texas has 116
demonstration agents in 116 clif-
| f erent counties, 57 of whom are
! located in west Texas and 59 in
! the eastern section of the State,
and according to reports there
j are 11,600 farmers co-operating
j with them in this work. Farm
demonstration work as it is term-
ed, consists cf showing the farm-
er how to plant, care for, and
harvest his crops. This is ac-
complished by inducing the farm-
er to set aside a certain area of
land and follow government
methods of planting, thereby in-
creas'ng the yields of. the crops.
The principal methods advocated
by the demenstratioh agents are
wide planting and careful selee-

ployed and it is assured that the
appropriation to c ntinue this im-
portant work wdl be substantial-
ly increased next year. The de-
mand inert ares for men who are
trained farmers. A man can not
