Many of the greatest problems of
public service. are solved outside the
great laboratories. Maybe it ^ bet-

are not all within buildings nor are
all scientists men of specialized

Telephone construction men ir.
Texas long ago gave up trying to dig
holes for poles in that sort of founda-
tion. They turn the water against
itself or against the sand. They first
place the pole upright on the shifty,
soil. Then a stream of water from a
hose with twenty-five or thirty-pound
pressure is. directed at the sand be-
low the base.
As the sand is washed away th^
pole sinks. Usually a depth of five
. feet is sufficient to sustain the aver-
age sized pole.
"Wherever possible, a fire plug is
used to obtain water. Reimburse-
. ment is Men " made to the city for
that water. Where'it is necessary to
pump from a creek or streani,'the e'n-

IpIVERSIFIGATIO IS OUR
'7"r '"" 'ONLY SALVATION']
The Terry County Herald summer-
es the cotton situation in the follow-
ing very creditable manner, and we
believe that these suggestions can be
ppicable to Crosby County-
"With cottoii hitting the toboggan
jvernment reports the biggest crop
iiji years in sight.and' also with the
boll weavils seemingly hor de combat
i^-the east, which mfeans the.liklihood
of another big crop~nexf=6yfer=a3WF
with it 10c cotton. That pirce is far
..below cost of production and every-
thing else as high as at present, and
with no prospects of immediate reduc-
tion. .
I Therefore it behooves every Terry
county and South Plains farmer to-
immediately change the order of pro-
duction and make the 1926 cotton crop
a secondary orje. First of all, make
sure of enough feed to run the farm
iucely^ni'ttd"'s^l|^el<niiore to spare for
the usual number.. Of "newcomers.
Next*-bring into play the. windmill
and ; raise a^. nioe crop of seasonable
-stuff and 'potatoes?' tomatoes, beans
peas, etc., and can all that cannot be
sold or used on the farm. '
Next be sure there' are enough cow
on the place to fully supply the fam^
ily in milk and butter, and some
cream to sell Mid help supply the fam
ily grocery needs. And don't forget
that old "Biddy" is a sure source of
supply of her mite ofie'ggs "affd young
poultry both of which are not only*
excellent foods for \the farm, but
•' - ••• ' "' 9 \' • '
another big source of cash for the
flour, sugar, coffee, etc. Next in im-
portance comes the meat hogs, and if
you have plenty of meat, you'll have
plenty of seasoning. An ever supply
of either can be readily sold, especial-
ly country- Hams of^w-hich no packer
has ever been able t'o approach in fla-

Armistice Day'
■At Crosby ton
The merchants of Croshyton cele-
brated jannistice day on Wednesday
by closong their stores. ' i.
Wednesday was. a beautiful warm
day ana some took advantage of the
holiday by driving to some othei.
point in tile country witji their lunch
to spend the day. Some took guns
and "hiked to thb "woods" in. search
of- game while olthers just stayed, at
home. '■ ■ '
At the": ntomentous hour of--eleven
o'clock, the five Crosbyton gins open-
ed their throttles while the fire sta
tion gave forth its siren tone in no un
certain- sound. The fire boys mounted
their fire wagon ,drove round the squ-
are two or three times. „
All this brought • back to. memory

It is time for farmers to think a-
bout next .yefll'.'s.. Cottian' Contest to be
conducted by the Dallas Morning
News a,pd the Semi-Weekly Farm
News in cooperation, with the Exten-
sion Service of Texas A.& M. College.
The completed plans will be announ
ced in a f$w week and are now being
drawn up and perfected. The whole
state will be coveredTnTa series pf dif-
ferent cotton contests, all of which
Will be based upon the Four year pro-
gram adopted by the News two years
ago. ; -
There will be large prizes in vari-
ous divisions ° Of the . contest with a
view- to encouraging intensive farming
on the black lands of the Texas prai
ries and other-uplands as well as in
the richer bottoms" It is planned to
keep these divisions separate to.stim-
ulate " competitive effort in- each of
them. Everything will be done to
make the cotton 'contest fair 'to all
whb; teke part" in. it, especially r to
those who arfe not favored with the
richest qi" best wat ed soils, ^
•This announcement is made to get.
farmers tp. prepare -their -lands 'this
fall and not wait till next spring.

the benefit of the lower prices than,
ca:i ..is secured if cash is paid, to come
to the en(|}ipj;,tl'ie year, with the.-pro-
efeeds from his market crops as net
profit. .-.
This goal is already been reached .
by many Geojgia farms. Sour cream
pig, cattle, ; chickens, eggs, garden
truck, melons, cantaloupes; sweet
potatoes, syrup, tobacco, and cabbage
plants, etc., are being sold at various
times through the year to, pay the
running expenses of the family and
the farm. «
otton and tobacco and hay
corn are being left for the money
from these being the profit.- _ -
Tlie program varies .. according to
locality and the personal judgement
times "the dairy herd is the one big *■
item-jpafid the other crops, are
Sidlary and auxilliary. Sometime:-;
the sweet potatoe crop is the big-cash
crop and other things are secondary.
But the principle is the same. If the
spur cream can carry the-modest store
account, arid the. chicken sales can
cover, the doctor's" bill and' -the' tele- -
phone bill and some other expense:;,
arid the pecan trees on the place be
sure to-settle the state and; co a
taxes .and other items care T6r, other
expenses—so that the cotton crop, or
the tobacco crop,- or the cotton and '
tobacco crops are all clean net cash
profit—that sort of "pay as- you go"
plan really gets somewhere!-—Modern
