COMMUNITY CO-CPERATTON
(Copyrighted Farm and Ranch-
Holland’s Magazine)
Du you fully realize what the
community tn which you live
means to you individually?
You hear of wonderful com-
mercial, social, educational and
religions advantages or finri
stores, heanrifwil parks and good
road's in ocher localities, ah of
l^bieli mean little or nothing to
won ,compared to- advantages and
convenience's offered you at home
You are affected only by prevail-
ing conditions in yeur community
where you are: benefited: by ad-
vantages and must suffer . for
lack of them. ^ ■■
E vepyo'hgrita more dr less proud
community in which he or
sfie lives, arid justly/so. However
to me, the -Might of inconsistency
io personified in people who pre-
tend to bev .deeply interested in
local coTidEtio-n®, and at the- same
tim-e -dclilieii-ateiy do those things
U'.at cendi to retard the- dcvelop-
of their home communities.
Those pjeople who proudly boast
of ilie advantages offered by
their home towns, as demrable
places in which to live, and then
refuse to extend local merchants
their patronage, are <m ridiculous
as the restaurant : proprietor
who eats Pout,”

FOOD AND FEED I
It is of the utmost importance
to Texans in particular and to the
country -in general that am iiii-tcn-
siHed -effort be made to increase
the food and feed production of
this state. It is the naft not alone
cf farmers hut also of tbe busi-
ness men to -give- this increaseidi
production careful condideratidn
and active oo-operaiiion. Abnormal
< onditions prevent the usual bal-
a n c o o f 8 up piiy and denre nd. There
fore if devolves upon Texans to
'aid in meeting an emergency
that is quite as pressing as that
presented by the miVjtary needs of
the country.
Certainly Texas should food1
and fodder itself arid there should
lie a who-l-esomei surplus to aid in!
pro visioning those gallant Aroerir
ea.nis in the- armed service; those
Frenchmen whose valor is ad-
mired by all free people, those
Britishers whose courage forms
one bright spot in the- war’s
blackness and those unfortunate
races, Armenians, Serbians and
others, who are starving.
Farmers are receiving greatly
enhanced prices for! their products,
the soil of Texas is most prolific-;
the planting urea i-s large-; the teea-
'f.oois are long; the demand great
and growing; encouragement is
offered by state- and government.
T herefore it is necessary, and cry-
ing so, that Texans till their fields
their vacant lots and back yards
with an intensive-mss and vigor
such as will assure bountiful eropis
of food for men and feed f-oar
beast.
It is an opportunity to aid in
winning the war and to assist in
making the “world safe for de-
mocracy. ’ ’—United States Food
