The Federal Government will
apend about $365,000,000 in erecting
and enlarging public buildings in
1930. In the erection of postoffice
buildings cities and towns that have
already si cured sites will likely be
given preference. The Texas towns
expected to benefit under the 1930
allocation include Jackson,rille,
Borger, i.ufkin, Ranger, Parnpa,

Utility Extensions
The utility companies operating
in Texas announc- that they will
spend approximately $70,000,000 in
the state within the next year ;n
the enlargement of their service.
This announcement was made on
reports from some 20 of the leading
companies and does not in* aide any
publicly owned utilities The pros
perity of Texas, as compare ! with
most of the other stat -s, makes ex-
tension of utility service a profita-
ble investment for capital. The
railroads will perhaps do more
building in Texas than in any of
the other states, if only they are
not hampered bv the restrictions of
he Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion.

Most of the Chambers of Coni-

Grabbing at Everything
One of the largest of the mail-
order-chain-store department houses
has bought a cold storage
van-house at Aheline and has been
uying and dressing turkeys for the
hristmas trade. It is reported that
he sanv company has under way

Increasinii I'riKluction
From the price being paid for
eggs it seems that th>- e.i- est way
for farmer to mak mooey i
raisi winter-laying strain of her. .
But if the hen- in uhl all decide
to be liberal with their ej;;rs n the
winter, pri'-i-. '.\ou!d i;et o low the
hens would not pay for their feed,
whereas in summer many of them
rustle foi their own feed.
.lack Shelton. who manage the
l.uling Farm Foundation, s:iy,- that
by turning on the lights in his
poultry houses at o'clock in the
morning he. has increased < gu pro-
duction SO per cent just by fooling
the hens into getting to their work
early, an i without increasing their
food to any extent. A poultry grow
er at Seugraves says she has in-
creased egg production with her
flock about .'100 per cent by f< edirtg
skini milk and a scratch ration of
corn and milo. If Shelton will only'
keep the lignt.- burning all night
and feed the Si-agraves ration oh,
well, figure if out for yourself.
