Judge Kone Was Here Friday.
E. R.Kone, commissioner of ag-
riculture, spent Friday and part
of Saturday here in the inter-
est of better farm work. He had
only a few hearers at his lecture,
and The Leader could not have
a representative there. The fol-
lowing extract from the Brown-
wood Daily Bulletin will give a
correct idea of what he is doing:
The work of Ed R. Kone for
the farmers of the state is very
Well known. During his long
public and semi-public career he
has been urging better methods
of agriculture for the farmers of
the state, and with the late Col.
Henry Exall has been instru-
mental in increasing the yield of
the Texas farms hundreds of
thousands of dollars. “My work
began many years ago,” he said,
“when I realized that to better
the conditions on the farm there
must first be better schools. This
led to the further step of public
roads. At first the people were
a unit in scoffing at the idea of
voting bond issues for good
roads, but with education along
that line almost every county in
the state now has an outstanding
bond issue for good roads. It is
all a matter of education. My
next work was to show the people
how to take care of the moisture
that fell on their land. This was
a hard proposition, but with the
co-operation of farm leaders all
over the state, the idea has
grown tremendously. At first
only a few were willing to try the
new methods, but one by one
they became convinced by the
object lessons given by their
neighbors. It was found that
instead of making a maximum
yield of thirty bushels of corn
per acre, with proper methods the
yield could be increased to fifty
bushels, or more.
“With the proper culture of the
ground comes diversification as
the next step. And this, in many
respects, is the most important
step of all, for it bears directly
upon the prices which the farm-
er receives for his products. The
farmers of Texas will grow al-
most -anything; and as soon as
the farmers begin to grow less
cotton and raise more feed and
•other crops, the sooner will they
be able to claim the freedom
which is theirs by right./
Judge Kone paid a beautiful
tribute to Col. Henry Exall. “He
was a man in a thousand,” hp
declared. “When the Texas In-
dustrial Congress was first in-
stituted, Mr. Robert Kleberg, of
Kingsville, agreed to head the
movement for a year, and he did
well, indeed, but owing to his
multitude of other duties he was
unable to devote anything like
his whole time to the work. Aft-
er the first year I asked Colonel
Exall if he would take up the
work, and he was glad to do so.
Col. Exall was not only thorough-
ly qualified for the work under-
taken, but he was glad, even
anxious to do it. He had been
engaged in farming and stock
raising for a number of years;
he and I brought the ‘Exall and
Kone’ sheep to West Texas
twenty-five years ago. And with
his ability there was an eagerness
to help his fellowman, that
prompted him to take up the Tex-
as Inustrial Congress work, de-
vote his entire time to it, and
never accept a cent of pay for it.
But his name will be held in re-
spect by the people of Texas for
many years, because through the
Industrial Congress, he taught
them how farm life could be
made the ideal life, and because
he taught them the dignity of la-
bor on the farm.”g
Judge Kone declares, too,
the newspapers of the state have
been largely responsible for the
development of the farming in-
dustry in Texas, and says that
without this help the work would
yet require many years to secure
the place which it now has.
Twelve members of the Lam-
pasas volunteer fire department
will leave tonight for Victoria,
where for the next several days
they will be in attendance upon
the state meeting of the firemen
of Texas. They will take their
hose truck, and enter for a prize
in the contest for the best and
quickest service in connecting up
ready for fighting fire. The city
council appropriated $180, or $15
each, to pay a part of the ex-
penses of the trip. The boys de-
serve the good time which they
anticipate and will surely have.
They appreciate the paying of a
part of their expenses by the peo-
ple, but they surely deserve this
favor, as they are always ready
to do what is necessary for the
preservation of the property,
lives and other interests of the
citizens of Lampasas. The Lead-
er hopes they may take all the
prizes offered in their class.
Paint-Wise
is to paint when your property needs
-it. Paint-foolish to wait for the price
to go-down.
But so many are foolish, they’ll wait
a good while.
The whole rise in the cost of a job is
10 percent. The first year’s drop won’t
be more than half that, more likely a
quarter.
Waiting for 5 percent, more likely
2 1-2.
The average job (with Devoe) is $50;
5 percent, $2.50. Put it off for $2.50?
Guess not.
You think of that job as $100. So it
is with inferior paint.
Paint Devoe; do it now, if your
property needs it.
d-w DEVOE.
