Its landscape would be beau-
tified by fields of heather,
hyacinths, helitropes, hibiscus,
hydrangeas, hollyhocks, hys-
sop, honey suckle and hedges.
■ It’s trees would be the horse-
chestnut, the holly, hackberry,
hickory, huckleberry and haw-
thorae.
The animals to roam on it a

hare, hog, hart, hind and heif-
ers. Of course there would be
hens and honey bees, too.
An ideal home has its fath-
er, mother and children. From

vegetables, eggs, meats, milk

body. Then the sea would
furnish deep sea foods.

RELIEF FOR THE
SMALL FARMER
Farmers who find themselves
short of cash or credit with
which to finance their 1932
crops can borrow money under
the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation Act, which pro-
vides that fifty million dollars
is made available through the
Secretary of Agriculture for
crop-financing loans to farm-
ers, and much more than that
will be available if necessary.
These loan3, Secretary Hyde
announces, will be on an acre-
age basis and not more than
$400 may be borrowed by any
one farmer. This money must
be used for the purchase of
seed and the cultivation and
harvesting of crops, and loans
are to be secured by liens upon
growing crops.
We think this is a pretty
good arrangement for two or
three reasons. In the first
place, it is cheap financing for
farmers, the interest rate being
only five and one-half per cent.
In the second place, it is like-
ly to result in teaching a good
many people how to
use it. The kind of
loans with which farmers are
most familiar are mortgage
loans on the security of their
land. And if farmers, gener-
ally, take advantage of this
process, it will distribute a
large amount of working mon-
ey throughout all of the agri-
cultural regions, and every
dollar so distributed will con-
tribute many times its own
value to the restoration of
business activity and the bene-
fit of the community in which
it circulates.
We are sorry for the farm-
ers of Connecticut and Penn-
sylvania, where State laws
prohibit the giving of liens up-
on crops. Farmers in those
states will not be able to take
advantage of thi3 new line of
credit.
We understand that local of
county agents are to be named
for the handling of applica-
tions for loans under this new
plan, but any one interested
can find out all about it by
writing direct to the Secretary
►of Agriculture at Washington.
Another advantage of the
mechanical cotton picker, if it
is ever invented, is that it

won’t know Saturday after-

Notice to candidates: Here-
tofore the voters have de
manded ten cent cigars, but
this year times are a bit hard,
so a five cent cigar will be
plenty—but don’t try to shove

us. We want you all to win.—

The surprising thing is that
we have heard of no “favorite

GHXMBEII OF COMMERCE
The chamber of commerce
met Tuesday night at Hotel
Blankenship with a large num-
ber of members in attendance.
President Blankenship pre
sided and several matters of
importance to the community
were discussed.
Secretray E. H. Hebert stat-
ed that the matter of securing
improvement on Highwsy No.
22, from Timpson to the Busk
county line, was still pending,
but he read a letter from the
Highway Department is which
it was stated that the propos-
ed improvements would re-
ceive further consideration at
an early date.
Announcement of the high-
way department that con-
tract for improving Highway
No. 85, from Timpson to the
Nacogdoches county line -with
asphalt topping, would be
awarded March first.
This .vill probably im-
press more forcibly upon
Nacogdoches county the im-
portance of securing this im-
provement through that coun-
ty. Good progress has been
ma ie in securing the right-of-
way through that county, it
was stated.
Last year effective work was
accomplished throughout the
city in the campaign against
the mosquito nuisance, and it
was urged that this work be
carried on again this year, be-
ginning early to assure best re-
sults.
Mr. Hebert stated that he
had taken up with railroad of-
ficials the matter of increased
shipping facilities to handle
the tomato crop. It is hoped
that additional packing shed
room will be constructed—suf-
ficient to accommodate more
than, one buyer.

Chang* in Farm Diet Reported
Eastland—Where eight
years ago Eastland county
farm families were satisfied
with the traditional farm diet
of meat, bread, potatoes, to-
matoes and beans with possi-
bly one or two vegetables add-
ed daring the garden season,
now 85% of home demonstra-
tion club women’s families
have a large variety of vege-
tables throughout the season,
and plenty more in cans dur-
ing the winter. “It ued to
be,” says Miss Ruth Ramey,
home demonstration agent,
“that tomatoes were only eaten
raw, and that carrots, for in-
stance, were not eaten at all.
Now 75% of these families
are growing and eating carrits
both raw and cooked, and a
large munberof new uses have
been found for tomatoes.
Through the work of demon-
strators and co-operators this
shift in eating habits is spread-
ing gradually throughout the
entire county.”

Panhandle. — Sub-irrigation
of gardens was tried and
found good by 15 farm women
in Carson county last year.
Tiles were improvised from
near-by oil fields, scrap lumber,
sheet iron, and a few used clay
tiles. With the exception of
one demonstrator who placed
the tiles too deep for the tight
soil in the county, all reported
extra good gardens as a result.
The total value of all gardens
of home demonstration club
members is given as $4342.90
at a cost of $227.70.

at Garner Rally
San Antonio, Feb. 23.—

terday while attending the
statewide Gamer-for-preaident

given and got the purse. All
its papers were intact, but
eleven $100 bills were missing.
Police are investigating.
