THE OLNEY ENTERPRISE
WHAT OTHERS
ARE DOING
By W. M. Free, Field Editor
We thank C. J. Thompson, of
Wichita Falls, who is with the Wich-
ita Memorial Co., for a short visit,
and he left with us the price of the
Enterprise for a year. He needs
the Enterprise in his business. It
tells him what he wants to know.
C. J. THOMPSON
We are just wonderng if it’s best R L HEARD
'to talk hard times, if it’s really
a fact. The farmers of this section
are the only people we know who
really have the right to talk and
preach hard times. But many of
them are far from casting- one pes-
simistic word which might have any
tendency to discourage his brother
farmer in his efforts. There has
always been a few fellows who were
•crying hard times, no matter what
the conditions were, and there has
always been a few pessimists who
would predict that something was
coming which would ruin the neigh-
borhood, they could feel it in their
'bones. But the sturdy farmer who
makes his plans over a period of
years is going right along. lie
knows the conditions are not opti-
mistic, but when he turns from his
occupation to take a squint at the
other fellow, he is more determined
to stick to his own. Nobody is mak-
ing any money now, and the wise
farmer is trying to keep his traps
together and make a living so when
tiiqes change for the better that he
will be ready to make another ad-
vance with his progressive plans.
It helps no one to take the blues.
We read of a Quaker who fell off
a bluff and broke his leg and
thanked God it was not his neck.
That’s the spirit. When we are well
in body and our families are in good
health with good eyesight, active
limbs and many other blessings
poured lavishly upon us, ft looks like
we might stand a little disappoint-
ment without taking it too seriously.
This is just a lesson to us to make
greater preparations for the next
lean spell, for it’s sure coming, just
like this one.

WHAT NEXT
When we hear of something new,
we are always wondering ‘‘What
Next?” We read in a farm paper
the past week that a man by the
name of William Schumaker up in
Iowa has announced the develop-
ment of a grain, that in the field
resembles barley, with the color of
rye, the flavor of oats and- a kernel
shaped like wheat. Schumaker calls
it barley, but says it has no barley
in its composition. He developed
the grain, he said, by conducting
a hand pollinating cross between
blue stem wheat and giant oats,
and then by crossing the hybrid
thus obtained with blue stem wheat.
This resulted, Schumaker said, in
a grain with a large meat and a
thin hull, maturing in ninety days.
He is experimenting on its value as
a hog feed.
WINTER LAYERS
Within the next few weeks the
season of hatching will be over. The
preparations you make now will be
your finals in the poultry season
regarding the hatching of baby
chicks. It is a proven fact that the
baby chicks hatched at this time
and even a little later are our best
winter layers. It has been proven
that the chicks hatched during April
and even the first two weeks during
May do not go into the moult in
the fall, but make good layers dur-
ing the winter months, when eggs
are higher in price We are speak-
ing of the Leghorn type of hens.
The larger breeds require more time
to mature than the smaller breeds
and this fact is well known to most
people in ths section Why not
hatch a few move chicks right now,
yes, you should begin today. Lets
increase our laying hens for next
year. But let us bear in mind that
a few hens will not make us a capi-
talist, but they will help out in the
living expenses. Get another good
•cow to milk and do your best. The
farmer must exercise all his wits
now. He has a hard row ahead of
him. But, we urge you to let the
hen and the cow help you through
the discouraging time.
W. M. CREECH
Forrest Johnson began work for
W. M. Creech the past week. He
'■is warming up to the auto parts and
tire department for this progressive
store. Mr. Johnson has been with
the Wilson Nash Co., for the past
year and he knows his okra on the
auto parts business Mr. Creech
runs this department in connection
with his feed store and filling sta-
tion. Mr. 'Creech repox*ts business
in all lines very satisfactory and he
is^ going right along and is plan-
ning to build a new brick one of
these days, with a concrete floor.
He has a grudge against he rats
and is planning to do away with the
igrief they are giving him in the
feed department . He is one of the
best advertisers to be found any-
where and his business is going-
right along. It pays to tell the
-People what you have for them and
t&ey like to buy where they are
invited and their patronage solicited
and appreciated.
We met our old friend R. L.
Heard of he Ingleside community
in the city Thursday. He was
planning on going to the plains
Where he owns a farm and also to
visit his sons, Clifford, Dan and
Dick who are living on the south
plains. He thought while he was
out there he woud make some im-
provements on the premises of the
farm and also dig a well for a bet-
ter water supply. Mr. Heard is one
of our good farmers and 'he is a
diversifier and makes his living
from the farm, selling the surplus.

M. F. HOWARD
We are convinced that M. F.
Howard is just a boy yet. He was
in the city Thursday and down at
the Olney Hatchery and Feed Store,
he was buying some chicken feed.
He drives his own Ford and does
his own farm work and attends to
his own business. You see, he has
had quite a bit of experience in
the past seventy-five years. Of
course that’s not telling his age.
These young folks this day and age

of the first, places we are going-
when we get our car arid hit the
trail in the field.

We were indeed glad to see J. W

Thursday. He is one of the first,
farmers we met after we came here
and we also visited his home. He
says ihe is getting along in health
very well, but thinks he will need to
go back to the sanitarium again ar
soon as he can spare the time. He
is so cheerful and sunny we are
inspired when we have ihad a talk
with him. He and Mrs. Hankim
will try their hands with turkeys
again and he is hoping for a better
price this fall.
