NEW ROAD
“Just now we feel constrained to
call the attention of the Texas High-
way Commission of the need of rush-
ing to early completion the Falfur-
rias-Hebbronville connection between
i.aredo and Riviera on to Riviera
Beach. Not only would the State get
a direct return in added gasoline
taxes, when the Falfurrias-Hebbron-
ville link in this Laredo to Riviera
Beach is completed, it would open up
a vast farming section that would be
put under the plow and develop more
realty values that the counties and
the State could tax for o£her revenue
purposes. On the showing Brooks
county has made with its very limit ’d
highway facilities, we sincerely be-
8m that good business judgment
fully warrants {be Texas Highway
Commission in placing the Falfurrias-
Hebbronville link on its immediate
agenda."—Falfurrias Facts.

Bones, Scrap Iron, New
Source Of Revenue To
Texas Farmers
Texas farmers are reaping a harvest
selling bones at |10 per ton and scrap
iron at $4 and $5 per ton, according to
a survey just completed by the Tsxas
Planning Board.
Most of the bones are being pur-
chased for fertilizer, chicken feed and
bone meal. The best grade of bones
are being bought up by sugar factor-
ies for use as a bleaching agent for
pure cane suRjar.
The scrap iron is being purchased
by buyers representing Japan.
Texas farmers who “plowed under *
thousands of head of cattle for the
government during the AAA cattle
buying program are now writing a
glorious end to this phase of the New
Deal by digging up the bones of the
slaughtered cattle and selling them
for fifty cents per hundred pounds
It is not uncommon to see scores
of wagons scouring, the country-side
in some parts of the state for bones
In several West Texas towns huge
piles of bones have taken the place of
the usual scrap iron heaps.

work, coupled with the interest of the

which should be recognized at home as

The Humble Company lists approximately
13,000 Texas men and women on its payrolls.
If you could gather all these folks and their
families into one place, they would make a
city with over 50,000 people. Happily, they
don't all live together; they are scattered
through the length and breadth of Texas so
that the work they do, the money they earn,
contributes to the building up of a hundred
or more Texas communities. Through them,
as through many other activities, the Humble
Company, a Texas institution, plays its part
in the sound development of our common
state.

40 YEARS OLD
The Yoakum Daily Herald, publish-
ed at Yoakum, the tomato Tom-Tom
city by H. D. Meister, now is in its
41st year of service jo PeoP*e °f
its territory. The Herald was estab
lished in 1897 and ended its first 40
years on April 1.
Meiste. assumed charge of the daily
newspaper in April, 1924. He is one
of the widely known newspaper men
of the South Texas section. Speak-
ing editorially about the changes in
his section during the time he has been
publisher of the Herald, Meister re-
cently pointed to development of div-
ersified farming programs and of new
highway construction as among the
important achievements which have
been supported. They also are two
of the important developments of the
entire South Texas field during the
last 10 or 12 years.

ecu BENEFITS
not expect to have a team located in
them. Arrival of big league teams
in the section would have a certain !
economic importance, would give j
South Texas wide publicity, and would 1
provide additional recreation for home j
folk and visitors.
We need particularly ,in our sec-
tion, to develop more fields of enter-
tainment not only for our own enjoy-
ment but also as additional attraction
to visitors from beyond the borders of
Texas. It was that idea which stiin
ulated the development of horse rac»*
plants in several South Texas cities.
The same idea should stimulate South
Texas interests in getting back of the
movement to bring some of the big
teams to this area each spring for the
training season.

Celebrations held recently at the
CCC camps in South Texas have serv-
ed to focus wide attention on the
benefits which have been teceived
from tiiis branch of new deal activity.
Although there are only four camps
in this section at this time—and an-
nouncement has been made that each
one will l*e continued through the end
of the fiscal year—others have been
located in the section during the last
few years. Camp workers did valu-
able work in the development of beau-
tiful state parks at Mathis and at
Goose Island before the two camps
were abandoned. Today they are
performing valuable service in soil
conservation work in Karnes and Wil-
son counties and in park development
at Goliad and Gonzales. The section
has piofited materially in permanent
improvements as a result of the camp
locations and the work which has been
carried on through them.

COTTON TEXTILES
Some
should,
city or cities in South Texas
at some time in the future,
take advantage of the wide open op-
portunity which would seem to exist
for the development of a cotton tex-
tile industry" in this state. Today
large quantities of unfinished cotton
goods are shipped into this section
from far points. Yet. we produce
hundreds of thousands of bales of raw
cotton each year. We have available
in South Texas the raw cotton, labor,
gas for fuel, and adequate rail and
water transportation facilities. Soutn |
Texas should, in time, begin to turn;
part of its raw cotton into a finished
product or products for home consum-,
ption and also for distribution in
markets far removed from here.

The movement which has been in- ^

They 6ay you can’t have everything—inf
this new Ford V-8 says differently.
^ X *
At the lowest Ford price in years, you can
have the roominess and comfort possible
only with an engine that’s extra short, a
springbase that’s extra long, drivers’ seats
that adjust two ways.
^ * **
And—-you ride where riding comfort is at
its best—amidships, between the axles.
X * *
You get brakes that stop with tremendous
power—at the gentlest of toe pressure.
* * «
You get a car that’s easy to steer, easy to
park. Yet the way it hugs the road and
cradles you over rough spots reminds you of
great big cars, with great big price tags. ^
You get modern lines and sparkling colors,
and up-to-the-minute “little things,” too—
battery under the engine hood, starter but-
ton on the dash and parking brake below it,
big luggage compartments on all sedans.

And anywhere you go, you know you’ll
find good service at costs so low they’re
famous the world around.

your money—here’s the car to see FIRST.
