Spring is approaching, Don’t clean
up, let the flies and mosquitoes do
that.
Don't punch holes in the tin cans,
the mosquitoes will not have any
place to call home.
Don’t pick up the cans, trash, etc.,
around your premises—Antiques are
popular.
Don’t keep a cover' on your gar-
bage—you might starve the flies to
death.
Don’t cut the weeds on your va-
cant lota—some people will not have
a place to hide their trash.
Don’t place your cans, trash, etc.,
in containers where the garbage man
can find them—he might hall them
away.
In fact, don’t do anything for the
health and looks of Wortham—tone
one might think you were progres-
sive.

Tomorrow the memory of George
fashington will be recalled in every
•wn and hamlet in the United States
'd in many of the capitals of the
i -world. He lived in the limelight
r many years and all of his acta
re subject to searching scrutiny,
t it is highly significant that 131
<rs after his death his fame has
been dimmed in the slightest
^•ticular. If anything the real
Hhhington shines more resplendent
Jn ever. It has been well said that
■ acid of criticism has only served
t emphasize and to bring out anew
■> solid character and the lasting
ifluence af an unusual man.

noblest and most instructive docu-
ments ever penned, and it might well
be used today as the chart by which
to steer the ship of state. If the
United States is to remain the hope
of the world It will be constantly
keeping in mind the character and
the ideals of its first president.

BIG MEN AND COUNTRY LIFE
Mrs. John David Burleson and
Mrs. Will Sneed were in Dallas Tues-
day.
The big men of the South in the
early days preferred to live in the
remote country, says a farm journal,
Washington, Jefferson, Madison and
others of this type built their homes
in the country. They could have
lived in town, but it would seem
that they considered it rather com-
mon to live in town. Andrew Jack-
son’s law office was in Nashville, but
his home was off in the country. It
required about four hours riding a
day for him to get to his law office

Living in the country was real iso-
lation then. This was before the
day of good roads, telephones, auto-
mobiles, daily papers and radios. Yet
these great men preferred it. Did
they have a proper sense of value?
A tree could be judged by its fruits
Out of this rural life came the great-
est leadership this country has ever
known.
Some day, perhaps, we will grow
big enough to appreciate the super-
ior advantages and opportunitiea of
the country as a place to live.

A properly cared for pecan or-
chard will yield gross $125 an acre
annually, says J. F. Rosborough of
A. & M. College. Planting the or-
chard—not more than a dozen trees
to the acre— costs from $25 to $36
an acre. Cultivation $10 to $16 an
acre, which may be offset by plant-
ing row-crops between the trees. The
orchard will begin to bear in three
to five years and will increase in
yield until after its twenty-fifth
year, when each tree should yield
from 600 to 1,000 pounds for an in-
definate number of years. If you
decide to try it, consult Dr. Ros-
borough or some other pecan expert
for suond advice.

He was not an orator, he wag
neither brilliant nor showy, but he
had the solid qualities which were so
essential for the tasks he was called
upon to perform. He was unselfish
and when necessary he had the kind
of moral courage which is not afraid
to oppose the popular outcry. He
did not hesitate to surround himself
with great men like Hamilton and
Jefferson, and the fact that he did
not suffer in comparison is one of
the greatest trbiutes that can be
paid him. He spoke only when he
had something to jay, and at every
crisis in his life he was found safe,

Patterson hopes to have 200 five-
acre pecan orchards in Eastland
County started this year. With the
aid of 4-H boys and agricultural vo-
cational students he secured enough
ruts for 1,000 acres. In December
they were stratified and at corn
planting time will be distributed to
those agreeing to put out and care
tor the orchards. Five nuts will be
planted in a circle one foot in diame-
ter, the two best bedded and finally
the thriftiest will be left standing.
