June 12, 1915,
On account of the rush of
work I have not been able -to
find time to make my regular
weekly reports for the past
month.
Since the 15th of May I have
visited 138 farmers (adults) 75
boys and girls (club members)
held 9 meetings with 195 present
visited with the business men of
4 different places, met with the
citizens and elected township of-
ficers of the Co Fair assn , and
traveled by rail 175 miles and by
team and on foot 319 miles. Have
inspected 7 orchards to ascertain
what was the trouble with the
trees, taught three men to prop
erly use hog vaccine, to protect
from cholera, supervising the
vaccinating of 107 head of hogs,
Have written 223 letters about
the work, and mailed out 525
bulletins.
The heavy rains lately have
seriously hindered many farmers
in their work, especially with
cotton, as much of it was plant
ed in the furrow and the water
has*kept it from growing verv
much. Some of the small grain
was badly bluwn over, which
will neccessitate care in the har
vesting of some to prevent quite
a loss of grain.
Maay of the farmers have pro
fited by the article all our editors
run ir. the papers about the con-
trol of the chinch bugs when the
small grain is cut, as many of
them have the furrows plowed al
ready, and will be able to keep
the bugs in check until the dan-
ger is past.
I presented the matter of the
Free County Fairs to the County
Committee! on last Tuesdav and
left them to decide whether we
should have these Township and
County Fairs or not.
I trust they will decide yes,for
our county is the richest county
in the state and we should let
other people know about the
same.
Those who have had land flood
ed lately, should either put same

POPULAR WHITEBEAD COUPLE WEDS
Prof. I. R. Tolbert and kiss
Bertie Spradlin were married
Sunday at the residence of Rev.
J. B. Reaves, who performed
the ceremony.
The bride is a charming and
popular;young lady and was for
five years a^pupil of the groom
at Whitebead.
Prof. Tolbert is president of
the Garvin County Teachers
Association, and stands high in

All of us are familiar with the

you will glance over the bank

eration the population and ihe
amount of land in a state of cu'ti

any other like district, and there
is a reason for this, The farmers
should feed their crops, and notj
haul to town by wagon, sell and
buy feed for his family in paper
bags and cans.
We should inaugurate a chan; t
ia our system. Instead of mar-
keting all of our corn, oats and
cotton seed, hay etc, by wagon,
we should feed it, and market
fat cattle, hogs and mules.
The tenant will say,-'T am not
able to buy cattle to feed", but
the land lord should go farther
with the partnership and buy
cattle and hogs and get full ben-
efit of the increase in the prices
that they may have a long and 1 on what grows on his land.

Miss Lucindy May keith, dau-
ghter of Mr. and Mrs. W. T.
Keith, aged 32 years was drown-
ed Satufday night in Rush Creek
near the south city limits and
but a short distance from her
father's home. The -emains
were taken to Antioch Monday
for burial with services at the
grave.
Miss Keith had be afflicted of
epilepsy from childhood, and had
long had a habit of leaving the
house, going away and staying
all alone for hours and frequent-
ly a half day at a time; and her
absence from the house last
Saturday afternoon created no
suspicion, but late in the night
when she did not return the
family became alarmed and a
search for her was begun The
body of the unfortumate woman
was found early Sunday morn-
fincl the Interment was in the
city cemetery.
The deceased WW twice mar-
ried; and by the union of her
first hitirriage she leaves one son,
Jesse Able, of Stratford, and by
her second union with N. Craig
who survives, she leaves three
child; Woody Craig, Maysville,
and Nathan Craig and Miss Zulu
Craig of San Benito. Texas. She
was also the step mother and
aunt of E F. Craig, the well
known cotton buyer of this city,
his father's first marriage beiijg
with a sister of the deceased.
Prior to moving to San Benito,
Texas, about 8 years ago, the de-
ceased with her husband, N.
Craig and family livfcd in this
community some twelve or four-
teen years. The deceased was a
consistent and devoted member
of the Methodist Church from
her early life.

from Missouri, 111, and Ind, and
buy our feeders and reship, and
feed 50c corn, grown on 1125 and

build same and feed the stock.
I know that there are many
tenants and land lords that this
will not appeal to, but I am talk-

It is a good plan to have school

cess Never after one that makes
a failure.
We used the plan of Geo. R.
Lea, County Demonstration A
gent, last spring in sowing oats
and will say that we can not see
how they could look any better
at this writing.
If your neighbor plows his
land good and deep soon as the
crop is taken off of it, and then
drag harrows over it, and seeds
it early and hi.? crop looks better
than yours, it is evident that he
is bajng the right system, and he
is a good man to copy after.
Tillers of the soil, get together
compare notes, and overcome the
old obsolete plan that compells
you to buy food for your family
and stock.
I think every farmer that is
worthy of the name, should plant
from 10 to 40 acres of kafir corn
and feterita.and by so doing you
will be sure to have feed to win-
ter your stock.

Can't you make a better profit
than he, when you get a better
part of the crop and your crop is
grown on land \alued from 125
to $50 an acre.
It is clear to me that we are
wrong in our system, and the
j better off we will be,
If you can't feed 40 cattle *vith
the required number of hogs to
run with them, then get any
number from t hat down to an
old brood sow. and a cow or two
and keep all the increase until
they grow you out of debt, but
keep them and all the Increase
Try this experiment, and my
prediction is that you will never
go back to hauling your crops to
the market by the wagon to sell
by. the load, which is a great
deal like the wood hauler, that
cuts a load of stove wood and
hauls to town and takes home a
s ack of meal, a small piece of ba
con and a package of coffee, and
lives on that until he can cuth
another load of wood. Did you
ever know one of them that ever
amounted to anything in the
world?
This system of feeding will al-
so help the land lord by keeping
every thing on the Jfarm and it
will give the tenant more than
double what he has (been realiz
ingwut of his crops, by hauling
to the market. Then again he
can hold and watch the markets
and sell when the market is the
best, and not be forced to sell at
what it is going at when he gets
to town
You can arrive at an equitable
arrangement, whereby the land
lord can buy the feeders and the
title remain in him until sold, and j
then divide the proceeds. The'

No one who has not had years of experience in the peparation and
compounding of medicines and who has not been properly licensed
by our State Board Pharmacy, is allowed to perform the responsible
duty of preparing medicine for the sick, in our store in Pauls Valley

This fact, should be worth a great deal to our patrons, for no one should ever be allowed to

fact, more important, that your medicine be made by properly qualified persons, than it is to
have your disease treated by a competent physician, or your house built by competent labor.
