THE PEOPLE WHO ALWAYS SELL IT FOR LESS
“Failure to give a cup of cold
water to the thirsty is less often
a failure to minister to the mate-
rial wants of the poor than to
give sympathy to the lonely or
troubled one who turns to us.
We have so many burdens of our
own, we are so busy with our
own tasks and cares that we do
not notice the wistful look in the
eyes of the one who is toiling
next to us. We are in such haste
to be off to our own work or
pleasure that we give scant wel-
come to the neighbor who drops
in inopportunely; we do not
know that he came because his
heart was longing for some word
of cheer or frisndship. Oh, the
blessed help w:e might give if we
only knew—and often we do not
know because we are too busied
with ourselves to understand.”—

Mr. Mackey Reports Meeting at Austin.
The recent meeting at Austin
of the various ■ agents of the De-
partment of Agriculture was pro-
nounced, by those who ought to
know, one of the most profitable
sessions of the kind ever held in
Texas.
N. L. English, J. L. Quicksall,
M. T. Payne,. Wm. Ganzer and
Mr. Berryman of U. S. Depart-
ment, E. R. Kone, J. W. Neal, J.
C. Lindsey of the State Depart-
ment and B. Youngblood of A. &
M. College were in attendance.
N. L. English, field agent for
several Southern states, spoke at
length on soil conservation. He
warned the farmers of Texas
against the washing away of the
soil. He said that in many of the
Southern states it was costing the
farmers from $3.00 to $6.00 per
acre each year for commercial
fertilizers on account of neglect-
ing the care of the soil in former
years.
J. L. Quicksall spoke highly of
the use of legumes on the farm.
He said that alternating corn
with cow peas was fast taking
hold of the farmers, and predict-
ed that in a few years a six foot
row with cow peas between would
be the only way the farmers of
the South will plant corn.
Mr. .Ganzer of Denton, Mr.
Berryman of DeWitt, Mr. Payne
of Bell, Mr. Dornberger of Aus-
tin county, all stated that when-
ever alternating corn with cow
peas has been tried out in their
particular section it has proven
to be the best way to plant corn,
especially of a dry year.
The Spaulding deep plowing
machine was discussed and the
consensus of opinion was that the
machine could be successfully
used, only when the ground is
very dry; and on acoount of the
expense attached, it is impracti-
cable on small farms.
Mr. Youngblood, of A. & M.
College, spoke against the use of
corn grown on irrigated land last
year, for seed on dry land this
year. He says it will not stand
the June drouth.
It was the opinion of all the
agents present that in communD
ties where there are- good roads
the average attendance in the
public schools is greater than in
communities which have no good
roads.
Lampasas county came in with
a report comparing favorably
with that of any other county.
Many good things were said in
Austin about Lampasas, which
led to the conclusion that the
grouching is done right here at
home. Now that we are blessed
with a good rain, and so far have
prospects for a good crop, we
should co-operate in building up
our town and surrounding com-
munity.
A crank is one who does some-
thing and deserves credit for the
effort he makes. A kicker is one
who has accomplished something
and then kicks out. He also is
entitled to praise for the good he
has done. But the knocker, the
man who stands off with his
hands down a,ndc;,spews out his
slimy ooze on every laudable un-
dertaking is an ^Domination in
the sight of good mem, and a ^ery
present evil at all times.
