FARM NEWS

sion Service Publications, A. and M.
College of Texas.)
NEW SLOGAN- KEEP
KINGSVILLE KLEAN”
Safe Farming in Texas.
Co-operation between the commer-
cial associations and farmers is of
vital importance in the development
of Texas agriculture. This co-opera-
tion seems to materialize in the Tex-
as Sufe Farming Program Movement.
Director Charles II. Alvord of the
Extension Service has published “A
Safe Farming Program" in leaflet
form, which is receiving the support
of the various agencies of Texas.
Along the same line the Texas Bank-
ers Association has outlined a safe
farming program, and at a meeting
recently held in Dallas, organized a
Texas Safe Farming Association,
adopting as a slogan, ‘‘Better cotton
or fewer acres, and more feed on
more acres." This is a non-profit or-
ganization of business men for gen-
eral prosperity through agricultural
betterment. The executive commit-
tee is composed of the leading busi-
ness men of Texas, and is as follows:
J. A. Kemp, chairman; Francis H.
Welch, Nathan Adams, R. E.' Hard-
ing, T. J. Caldwell and Ed Woodall.
The success of this Safe Farming
Association has been further guar-
anteed by the selection of Hon.
Clarence Ousley as director. Mr. Ous-
ley is a newspaper man of excep-
tional ability. He was also director
of the extension service from 1924 to
1917, when he was called to Wash-
ington as assistant secretary of agri-
culture. He is well acquainted with | and cleanest ward
the newspapers, bankers, farmers
and the agricultural agencies of the;
state, and has a happy faculty of
inspiring co-operation. He is brim-
ful of agricultural information, and
we are quoting a little gem, which
he believes is the best argument he
ever heard for safe farming in Texas.
The episode reads as fol'nws: ‘‘At a
typical county seat in North Texas,
the first week in February a meet-
ing was held, attended by about two
hundred farmers, bankers and lead-
ing business men of the town. Sev-
eral addresses were made on the
present cotton crisis and the danger
of further losses from another big
cotton crop. Finally one of the bank-
ers present asked that all farmers
who had corn in the crib of their own
production to arise. Twelve men
arose. After they were seated he
asked for all farmers who had meat
in the smokehouse of their own rais-
ing and curing to arise. The same
twelve men arose. After they were
seated he asked that all who had
money in the hank which they did not
borrow to arise. The same twelve
men arose."
Outstanding Work in District Four.
Kingsville has the newest of new I
slogans. For several years the legally
adopted one. sponsored by the Com-j
mercial Club that of “Community Co-
operation,” lias been in effect—some-]
times, and sometimes not. But now
(he civic Committee of the Commer-
cial Club has approved one of a brand
.k u nature and one acceptable to the
whole town. It is “Keep Kingsville
Klean,’' and was offered by the Wom-
ans’ Club committee, composed of
.Mesdarnes Finnegan. Marcus Phillips
and Frede. The slogan was adopted by
the Civic Committee, working in con-
junction with the City Health Depart-
ment and will be given all the publici-
ty possible that Kingsville may he
kept every month in the year and
every day In the year.

City wagons and workmen were put
to work Monday of the present week
cleaning alleys, while the Civic Com-
mittee Chairman, Mrs. G. E. Sims,
has been busy appointing sub-commit-
tees, lining up programs of work and
supervising the entire work. Boy
Scouts from the different troops have
entered fully into the spirit of the oc-
casion, with Scoutmaster J. V. Chand-
ler as chairman of the entire line-up
of sub-committees. The town is divid-
ed into four parts, with one troop of
Scouts to each section. At the conclu-
sion of the present clean-up program
a committee, appointed by Mrs. Sims,
will inspect the town, and that ward
presenting t he most pleasing appear-
ance will be awarded the honors, and
incidentally a theatre party to the
Scout troop having that fortunate
in charge.
Good Guess, Anyway
The wives of two traveling salesmen
were Introduced. They settled down
for n comfortable talk. Servants, the
weather and children were discussed,
and then one wife inquired: “And
what Is your husband's line?’’ The
other wife considered before she re-
plied: “I’m not entirely sure, but he
is always talking about dotted line, so
r suppose 11mt'a It. don't you?"

It is seldom we find a number of
men engaged in public service where
each seems to be doing an outstand-
ing piece of work, yet this is the
case in District Four. District agent,
A. L. Smith, seems to have the hap-
py faculty of inspiring loyalty, con-
fidence and action, and at the same
time he keeps his hands upon the
pulse of the work in his district as
illustrated by the following informa-
tion, which he kindly furnished the
editor.
W. I. Marschall, Mason County, has
done outstanding work in club work,
in leaf worm and wolf club work. F.
W. Mally, former./ county agent in
Webb County, now in Bexar County,
did excellent demonstration work in
legumes and alfalfa. O. B. Rollins,
assistant county agent in Bexar
County, has majored in club work and
baby beef work. Charles H. Alvord,
formerly in Bexr- County, now di-
dector of extension service, was
particularly successful in promoting
the Medina-Hereford Encampment,
certified seed and Irish potatoes. C.
C. Jobson of Brady, Texas, did ex-
cellent work in leaf work control. H.
T. McCollum of Williamson County,
proved very successful with his ter-
racing work, and encouraging the use
of better seed. Silver Whitsett of
Llano County has done excellent work
in insect control and the use of fer-
tilizers. R. W. Terry of Concho
County believes in better roads and
has obtained excellent results in road
engineering. W. R. Nisbet of Menard
County has solved the problems of
dehorning and was especially success-
ful in the wolf club work. J. F. Ros-
borough of an Saba County has
caused better club work. H. C. At-
chison of Blanco County, has pushed
the poultry improvement work. S.
F. Clark of Bell County has met suc-
cess in pecan budding and the pro-
motion of legumes and forage crops.
Walter E. Davis of Travis County,
has obtained results with his club
work J. C. Yeary of Kerr County,
has done excellent work through the
Poultry Association and Truck Grow-
ers Association.
A. J. Cotton of Burnet County,
terracing and pecan budding. J. A.
Oswalt of Brazoria County has done
good work in encouraging dairy feed-
ing and the growing of pecans, R. S.
Miller, county agent in Brewster,
Jeff Davis and Presidio counties, has
obtained results in pecan budding and
terracing. George E. Ehlinger of Gil-
lespie County has met success with
hi* livestock and poultry work.
Each of these eighteen men evi-
dently have looked over the field and
are rendering special service in the
solution of farm problems, which
their peculiar local conditions require.
—and Now
Tax Reduction
Allowed
Effective at once, the delivered price of Chevrolet models is re-
duced. Chevrolet buyers will be given the benefit of the recent tax
reduction though it does not become officially operative until March
twenty-ninth. Thus for the third time since the first of this year
Chevrolet emphasizes its supremacy in dollar-for-dollar value.
First—Reduced Prices
Early in January Chevrolet announced sweeping price reductions
Then—The Improved
Chevrolet
Shortly thereafter the Improved Chevrolet was announced at th'ese
reduced prices. Instantly it met with such an increase in popularity
that it became necessary to break all previous production records
for January and February.
And Now—A Further Saving
Although the reduction in automobile taxes does not become of-
ficially effective for some time, the full amount of this reduction is
now passed on to Chevrolet buyers. Thus Chevrolet again empha-
sizes that principle of value on which it h'as built the greatest suc-
cess ever attained by any manufacturer of modern gear-shift auto-
mobiles. Come in! See the Improved Chevrolet! One ride will be a
revelation!
