Kerrville has a fine climate and for
while sitting here in this restful spot

coming up the river with their catch.
There was one old Cyprus tree that
particularly interested us, as it was
reputed to be over 1500 years old and
one of the oldest trees in this part
of the country. Its trunk was 11 feet
across. There are many interesting
trips that one can take from here eith

good highways. Fredericksburg is

sturdy German pioneers coming out
in the year of 1849. We used to go
there as children, twenty five years
ago, before they had the railroad and
we had to take the stage coach at
Kerrville and drive over the moun-
tains, it took all day then, and we al
ways took lunch in boxes from the
little hotel, near the station, and ate
it by the side of one of the picturesque
streams. We were anxious to visit the
quaint old town again. We started out
bright and early in our car one morn
ing. The road was good and the scen-
ery lovely. We saw wild turkeys and
at aone place a beautiful young deer
bounded across the roadway in front
of us. The creeks were all very low at
this time of the year and to our a-
amazement we arrived at our desti-
nation in less than an hour’s time,
we didn’t speed either, as we wanted
to enjoy the beauty of the roadside.
Well, time surely has changed, and
distances are nothing now, and once
more let me add that if the tax on

Mrs. J. H. Ellerkamp was the guest
of honor at a beautiful bridge party
given by her sister, Mrs. Otto Mid-
dlebrook Friday of last week. The
house was most attractive in its de-
coration of pink blossoms, and after
a series of games of bridge delicious
refreshments were served to the fol-
lowing guests: Mrs. B. G. Anderson

try we should not grudge it and
those who use the highways are then
forced to pay their share. It’s a bit
complicated yet in those who use gas-
oline for the plough, but we trust
they will reap a benefit in other ways.
Our little Fredericksburg had
changed a great deal. There is now a
railroad, the old German beer gar-
dens are a thing of the past and there
are several new modern hotels. We
stopped before the fine new Nimitz
Hotel. We were a bit disappointed to
find the old quaint sailing ship build-
ing of the past so changed. It was
here where we had stopped as child-
ren and old Grandpa Nimitz, the pio-
neer had told us many thrilling tales
of the covered wagon days, when In-
dians were on every mountain top.
These days have long since passed and
most of the old pioneers have passed
on to their reward. They were brave
men, and women, full of courage and
faith. They had cleared this beauti-
ful country for us. The wide, wide
main street was the same, only auto-
mobiles and modern equipment of ma*
ny kinds had taken place of the old
covered wagon and ox carts, that ev-
en I remembered here in my early day. j
We stopped over for dinner, modern
electric fans had taken the place of
the old home made newspaper ones,
that were attached to a string and
manipulated from behind a screen by
a colored boy who often fell asleep,
and tumbled off his chair to the great
amusement of we children, and dis-
tress to our hostess.
After enjoying our noon day meal
at the new Nimitz Hotel, with all its
modern conveniences, we drove around
the quaint old town looking for the
old land marks we had known so well;
few were left. They had all served
tbeir purpose and then made way for
the newer generation and more mod-
ern age. We were back again in Kerr-
ville in no time and where we missed
the old friends and the old landmarks,
it was wonderful to be living and to
be part of this present day progress.
Kerrville is developing into a won-
derful mountain play ground. It was
delightful and we met many charming
people and renewed many old acquain
tapees, among the crowd of summer
visitors, who were there seeking a
change and rest from other altitudes.

THE WAYS
______^ ____________________ College Station—Millions of dollars
days go alf too swiftly and we begin |Morth of rood cottonseed for planting
gasoline can do so much for the coun- ; t0 feel sad as the day draws near for I l,urP08e8 ar* lost annually to Texas
‘ farmers by becoming mixed with poor
quality seed at gins. The simplest way
out of the difficulty, and the most
profitable, is for every farmer in a
community to plant one variety of
good, pure seed. Where this has not
been done, the only course remaining
is to hold back the cotton from which
planting seed is to be saved, and gin
it late enough in the season to enable
the ginner to take time to clean out
the gin rolls.
These facts are pointed out by E. A.
Mother had put her little daughter
to bed at a very early hour. The lit-
tle maid decidedly objected. She felt
if ahe could appeal to her father, he
would overrule her mother and she
would be allowed to get up again.
“Mohter,” she said, “I want to see
father.” Her father by the way was Millar, Agronomist in the Extension

Father cannot se you now, replied |ema 0f mixed seed came about when
the mother, “he is very busy writing
his sermon.”
In a few minutes she called her mo-
ther again and said.
“Mother I simply must see father."
“I cannot disturb father now.”
A pause of a few moments and
the South shifted from the old private
plantation gin to the public gin. Ex-
periments show that a farmer may get
i as high as 25 per cent of seed from
the bale preceeding his at the gin, and
that some mixtures also occur in the
second and third bales, and may even
then the little one said with great dig I continue to some extend to the fourth
nity . bale, if the seed be allowed to go thru
the seed conveyor.

and I must see my pastor at once.”

“It’s no wonder that cotton seed run
out so fast,” declares Mr. Miller. “If
(the bale that was ginned before yours
i happened to be of a poor variety, or
! if it was grown from mixed seed, you
) will get a bad mixture that will us-
ually reduce your next years yield and
give a mixed staple that is very ob-
jectionable to the spinner. The ginner
should not be held responsible for
these losses because it takes time to
clean out the gin rolls and many cus-
tomers would be lost in the rush sea-
son if this were attempted. But if far-
mers will wait until the slack part of
the season to gin their cotton from
which seed is to be saved, part of the
inferior seed losses may be avoided.
“On account of the danger of be-
coming mixed in the seed conveyor, it
i< best to run the seed on the floor
and then sack it or shovel it directly
into the wagon box. Another method
is to take several bales to the gin at
one time, not saving seed for planting
purposes until the first, and prefer-
ably the second bale, has passed.”

ten bitter self denial, but whose fruit
