Real Need For Hubam „
Clover Over Bosque County
Overseeding oats and other small
grain with Hubam Clover is a
means of growing legumes with
other crops. The grain outgrows
the clover so that there will be no
interference at harvest time. Hu-
bam will deprive the grain of very
little moisture. The clover will
grow very little iptil the grain is
harvested, but after that, with mois-
ture, the growth will be sufficient
to do much good.
‘ The soils in the Bosque Soil Con-
servation District are very deficient
in nitrogen and organic matter.
The past few dry years have pre-
vented growth of legumes. There
is moisture now, the price of seed
is reasonable, the need for legumes
is great—so why not do as some
of your neighbors are doing and
seed some clover.
Lum Smith, who lives on th£ A.
F. Abies farm near Mosheim, has
seeded 15 acres of clover; N. M.
Shrader of the Searsville commun-
ity plans to seed 30 acres; and B.
A. Dunklin of the Lanes Chapel
community will seed 60 acres. Joe
Conrad of Womack plans to seed
Hubam, and W. H. Powell plans to
seed 70 acres to Hubam on the
farm he purchased from Herman
Smith at Walnut Springs.
These are the names of some of
the farmers planning to seed Hu-
bam this month or by the 15th of
next month.

Post atteded the Regional VFW
Meeting in Temple on Saturday and
Sunday, February 23 and 24. 'At
land today, and, had the Farm | the next Auxiliary meeting Mrs.
Bureau not stepped in when the Schmidt also will give a report of
Frazier. The speaker stated that
only 13 per cent of the population
of the United States lived on the
farm now; of this six per cent made
their living solely from the farm
and seven per cent were part-time
farmers and held other positions to
supplement their living.
Mr. Frazier pointed out that
many people'take the Farm Bureau
for granted; ,,but that the farmer
cannot take the organization for
granted or it will die. And if the
Farm Bureau should suddenly fold
up, the farmer would Jose much of
what the Farm Bureau has gained
for him, pointed out Mr. Frazier.
The fanners’ taxes would inorease,
they would lose their refund on
gas, and the farm-to-market road
program would be decreased or
dropped entirely. There is a social
ized agriculture program in Eng-
LANES CHAPEL

this Regional Meeting.
All members are urged to be
present March 5 for thia very im
portant meeting.
—Publicity Chairman
Brannon Plan was proposed, this
nation would have taken a big step
toward farm socialization, reported
Mr. Frazier. It was the Farm
Bureau that defeated the Brannon
Plan.
The Farm Bureau has done more
than any organization in its effort
to bring back the lost markets of
the foreign countries. The Farm
Bureau is an advocate of extensive
research and extension work and
increased soil conservation prac-
tices. It was the first group to
sponsor the REA to bring electrici-
ty to the farm homes, and it was ! Followinf^f our entertaining

ATTEND GATBSVILLE DKG
Members from Clifton and vicin-
ity who attended a chili supper and
program of the Gatcsville chapter
of the Delta Kappa Gamma Mon
stages—the romper stage, the ro-
mance stage, and the rheumatic
stage The life of the Farm Bureau
could easily follow the same course.
The romper stage would be the
early years of the Farm Bureau
when mistakes were made while
learning the ropes, then followed
the romantic stage that it is en-
joying at the present time. If the
organization lets itself slip over in-
to the rheumatic stage, it will not
be long until it folds up. It is up
to the farmers, through their active
interest and participation, to keep
the bureau in the romantic stage
of growth and accomplishment.
Ahead of the Farm Bureau Is the
task of getting farm products in
line with supply and demand. The
day night, February 18, were Miss
