State University Notes
Austin, Texas, Oct. 5.—Follow-
ing the action of the State De-
partment of Education in accep-
ting Czech as a modern language
a number of high schools over
the State have placed this sub-
ject in their curricula, accord-
ing to Dr. Edward Micek, as-
sociate professor of Slavonic
languages at The University of
Texas. This year for the first
time Czech is being taught in
the high schools in Austin, Tem-
ple, Hallettsville, Houston and
Needville,and in St. Ludmilas
Academy at Shiner. With but a
single exception, the subject is
being taught by teachers who re-
ceived their training in Czech at
the University.
A total of 61 students have reg-
istered in the Slavonic language
department at the University
this year, Dr. Micek said, and
additions are being made to the
classes from time to time.

By Leo Dubinski.
On Sept. 8th an invitation was
extended to a number of vege-
table producers about Yoakum
to meet and consider the feasibi-
lity of a vegetable co-operative
producing and handling organiza-
tion. This proposition was ably
discussed by Sect. Miller of the
Texas Farm Bureau Service As-
sociation. So favorably impress-
ed was the group that they voted
to get an expression of the group
as to whether or not they wished
to organize themselves into an
organization to work out a per-
manent structure. The vote was
in the affirmative. Leo Newsom
of Yoakum was elected as chair-
man with W. E. Kingen of Shi-
ner a§ S§ct and Treas, with J,
Frank Vick of Yoakum V. Pres.
Having formed the organiza-
tion, a representative from each
of the communities adjacent to
Yoakum was selected—I. J. Goe-
bel from Cuero; J. F. Vick, Yoa-
kum; I. E. Valenta, Sweet Home;
J. D. Rippen, Shiner; H. R. Bias*
chke, Hallettsville.
The above with the Pres.,
Treas. and Seer, constitute the
organization committee. Educa-
tional meetings were scheduled
at Hallettsville and Shiner on
Sept. 21-22d to give Mr. Miller
an opportunity to explain to the
groups what steps had been tak-
en in the establishment of a co-
operative produce organization.
The attendance at each of these
meetings showed much interest
in the movement, some 10 or 15
at each meeting agreed to con-
tribute at least one or two days
to a membership rive.
At a meeting of the committes
in Yoakum on Sept. 19th, it was
decided the name of the organiza-
tion should be: South Texas
Vegetable Co-Operative Associa-
tion, with Yoakum as general
headquarters and that 7 memb-
ers should be the governing
board of directors. The member-
ship fee Is $5.00 and a minimum
of 759 acres be signed by Nov,
30th. W. E. Kingen is publicity
director and E. A. Miller cam-
paign manager in membership
drive, which will begin Oct. 5th.
This movement must go forward
as the writer sees it, as it is the
only thing that can materially
help the producers of this section
to receive a fair return for the
products he produces. If you have \
not attended one of these meet-
ings do so.

4-H Club Boy Receives
$1 51 per Bushel For Grain
Fed to Pigs
William Riley, 4-H club mem-
ber of Koerth Community, re-
ceived $1.51 per bushel for the
grain he fed to three pigs, ac

During the feeding period,
from July 2nd to September 25th
the three pigs ate 1140 pounds
of corn and maize, 200 pounds of

equal parts of tankage and cot-
tonseed meal by weight. William
stated the pigs weighed an av-
erage of 72 pounds each when
the feeding period started and
made a total gain of 470 pounds,
with an average daily gain of
1.84 pounds per pig. The pigs

BILIOUS ■
“I have used Black- -
Draught. . . and have
not found anything
that could take its
place. I take Black-
Draught for bilious-
ness. When I get bili-
ous, I have a nervous
headache and a ner-
vous, trembling feeling
that unfits me for my
work. After I take a
few doses of Black-
Draught, I get all
right. When I begin
to get bilious, I feel
tired and run-down,
and then the headache
and trembling. But
Black-Draught re-
lieves all this.”—h. c.

By actual road perform-
ance, week after week,
month after month—the six-cylinder
Chevrolet has proved its right to be
called America’s most economical
truck. Owners have found that on a
ton-mile basis Chevrolet costs less for
gas and oil, less for upkeep and less
for service than any other truck—
regardless of the number of cylinders.
And price-comparison will show that
this big, sturdy Chevrolet Six is one of
the lowest-priced trucks you can buy.
