Poem- 'Til go where you want me
to go"- Leona Foree
We want our reader* and far-
mers to know who are helping
them in their efforts for finan-
cial and economic independence.
No one believes more thoroughly
than we do that the farmers’
problems must be solved by far-
mers themselves, but the task
can be made lighter if helpful in-
terest is given by the leaders in
business and other industries.
This being true, it is equally
certain that the farmer’s task of
working out his economic salva-
tion is being delayed much more
difficult by the obstructive tac-
tics and opposition of those who
think that their business will be
injured by the success of the far-
mers in solving their marketing
and financial problems along the
cooperative lines now projected.
Therefore, we want our readers
and farmers generally to not only
know who are helping them, but
also to know those who are fight-
ing them. And let no farmer fool
himself into believing that all
merchants, bankers, and other
business men are sympathetic to-
ward the methods which farmers
are so rapidly adopting to solve
their marketing and credit pro-
blems. In fact, there is a tre-
mendous effort being put out by
certain interests to bloc k and de-
stroy cooperative marketing, and
the furnishing of cooperative
farm production credits.
Farmers generally are not aware
of the extent of this opposition.
If they were, it would be much
why the fight is kept under cover.
The subtle metods used also
make it possible for these enemies
to put over false statements
which connot be met. If the
fight was being made in the open
every one circulating false state-
ments could be properly branded
and his influence promptly killed.
Let no farmer conclude, however,
that all business men, or even all
cotton merchants are engaged in
this unfair fight on the coopera-
tives. Many of them are not, but
some of them are, and that is
exactly what we want our rea-
ders to know.—The Progressive
Farmer.
TEXAS HAS ..LARGE ..POTEN-
TIAL RESOURCES IN
ITS PECANS
In its native pecan trees, Texas
has a gveat natural resource, the
value of which runs into millions
of dollars. But we are not mak-
ing full use of this natural re-
source. Native pecan treeif large-
ly represent potential wealth;
budded pecans are actual wealth;
Texas fcs first in number of native
trees, but considering its size, it
is last among the pecan growing
states in bbudded trees.
In a favorable year. Texas pro-
duces as many pecans as all the
other states combined. But seed-
ling trees are uncertain bearers
and there are many years when
our crop is woefully short—short-
er than we have any right to ex-
pect considering bboth insect
damage and unfavorable weather.
It is somewhat of a mystery
why our Texas people have never
taken our great natural resource
in seedling trees, and by top-work-
ing them, made real and tangible
their great potential v^lue. Tex-
as was the pipneer in top-working
large pecan trees; its experiment
station, extension service, colliegc
and state department of agricul-
ture have given unstinted effort
to the development of th e pecan
industry. Yet, in spite of our
early start, we have never gotten
out of the pioneer stage in .making
any considerable part of the state
a cultivated pecan center. As (’.

Night Coughing
Quickly Stopped
Now Way Slmplo Nut
Very Effective
Night coughing, with its distressing
loss of sleep and dangerous sapping
of strength and vitality, can now be
almost instantly checked through a
simple but wonderfully effective treat-
ment that is economical, too.
This treatment is based on the fa-
mous prescription known as Dr. King’s
New Discovery for Coughs. For aston-
ishing relief make this test tonight
before retiring:—Simply take one tea-
spoonful and hold it in the throat for
15 or 20 seconds be fore swallowing it.
The prescription has a double action.
It not only soothes and heals soreness
and irritation, but it quickly loosens
and removes the phlegm and conges-
tion which are the real cause of night
coughing. So with the cause removed,
coughing stops quickly and you sleep
the whole night through.
The Dr. King’s New Discovery pre-
scription is for coughs, chest colds,
sore throat, hoarseness, bronchitis,
spasmodic croup, etc. Fine for children
as well as grown-ups — no harmful
drugs. At all good druggists. Ask for

commercial market demands. Ac-
cording to certain authorities,
many buyers prefer the long, less
palatable hut better cracking
Louisiana pecan to the blunt, well
flavored, thin-shelled Texas nut.
The top-working of native trees
with wood of desirable varieties is
our immediate and pressing job.
Budded trees bear more regularly
and the value of their nuts is three
or four times that of the nuts of
Seedlings. In fact, some seedlings
never bear at all. There is no
excuse for failing to add the fin-
ishing touch to thesegreat out-
producing factories nature has
put at our command. A seedling
pecan tree is like an automobile
without a spark plug. It is al-
most complete hut but it needs
this last vital part to make it
go.
But while we are top-working
our native trees, let us not forget
that there are many, many farms
on which pecan-trees should be
planted. These trees should be
of an improved variety, and after
they are in the ground, the long-
term nbture of the investment de-
mands that extra good attention
be given them.—The Progressive
Farmer.
INDUSTRY SUPPORTS
EXTENSIVE RESEARCH
Floyd W. Parson, in December
writes:
“The curve of human progress
that dragged along on what was
little more than a horizontal line
for 5,000 years has turned abrupt-
ly upward. This is largely due
to a belated recognition of the de-
markation between pure and ap-
plied science, and that today’s
discovery in the field of scientific
theory inevitably leads to tomor-
row’s discovery in the practical
field of business.
The success of our greatest
American corporations is due
mostly to the one policy of giving
scientists unrestricted freedom in
thfe research work they are doing
Research that aims at a single, de-
finite accomplishment usually ends
in failure. The fellow who starts
into a new and unexplored region
w ith strict orders to discover noth-
ing hut a gold mine, very likely
will not only fail to find gold, but
will overlook the other precious
values about him that are await-
ing discovery. Our knowledge
about radium and many other val-
uable discoveries has come as the
result of the open-mindedness of
the investigates and their read-
iness to change plan as circum-
stances required.

HELPING BUILD UP
A GREAT STATE
Natural gas has proved itself a tremendous factor
in the growth of the cities and towns of Texas.
This is purely an economic result, too. While con-
ceivably people who are disgusted with ths grime and
dirt, labor and inconvenience of other fuels might de-
termine to locate in natural gas territory, the real
assistance of natural gas in building up the fast grow-
ing communities of this state is found in the effect on
costs of living.
First undoubtedly is the money made available for
other purposes by the low fuel bills. This ntay not
aggregate a large amount in i::iy ono family, but in all
of them it places a large sum at the disposal of the
community for growth.
Second is the great savin*: of time due to the use of
natural gas, with its result an. release toward the crea-
tion of wealth of many hours per year for many indi-
viduals.
Right in line with this, too, is the cleanliness of this
wonderful fuel, which gives much more time and re-
duces expenses.
Another gain, of course. I - in th u c o' gas for in-
dustrial purposes, which ha rhe:^ m .i production not
only by cheapening fuel bill-., but by releasing the
time and attention of workmen.
Sometime some writer will tell of the economic effect
of natural gas in Texas, and when be does most people
will be surprised by the huge figure.! he will show saved
to the people of the commonwealth through the use
of Nature’s best fuel.

HOWE ARGUES FOR
EDUCATIONAL ADVERTISING
In urging the purpose of news-

paigns along th<‘ line* of co-opera*
te management. Ed Howe> the Kan-
sas newspapers sage, observes.
" A surprising iTiTng is the dutt-
ness of big corporations in defend-
ing themselves. Usually there are
honestly managed, but without
the slightest intelligence so far as
publicity is concerned. With a
alight re-arrangement of , their
puhlitity, at no increase in expen-
se, they might save the country
'Void anarchy and get norm where
hear justice front the people,
courts, congress and legislatures."
