Jl Solution
When a civic movement receives the unanimous
endorsement of a town, sanctioned as well by
clubs and civic groups, it’s pretty evident the pro-
ject is worthwhile and deserving because of its
benefits to a large group.
The proposed remodeling of the City Hall is de-
serving &£ the wide-spread support it is receiving.
Last fall when the study clubs were promoting a
Civic Center building the Enterprise outlined sug-
gested remodeling plans of the City Hall which
would be of relatively small cost and benefit the
largest circle. Virtually these same plans have been
submitted to the City Council by Joe Benson, presi-
dent of the Chamber of Commerce. That the coun-
cil favors the project, and feels the approval of
the city’s pulse, is seen with the appointment of a
committee to employ an architect to draw plans
for the program.
Needed office- space will be available on the
first floor, if the project does not prove too costly
and is approved by the council, and the auditorium
wil’ be converted into a more useable space. Since
the taxpayers do not want a Civic Center building,
as they voted their opinion in a special election last
fall, the remodeling of the City Hall is more than
a substitute, as witness the hearty approval the
plan is winning. Instead of a substitute it is a solu-
tion.
Kale Fight
Heartening news to the West Texas Chamber
uf Commerce and other groups who are fighting
for freight rate equalization for West Texas and
the Southwest was the introduction of such a bill
in the House of Representatives last week by Con-
■*ressman Ed Gossett from our own district. We
believe Congressman Gossett will support this
measure whole-heartedly and will work for its
passage after his bill and the companion introduced
by Senator Tom Connally of Texas are ironed out
ia important committee hearings.
It is essential that West Texas communities
support this fight to remove inequities in freight
rates that are adverse to the western portion of the
state. The situation where it costs less to ship
4fO©ds from Indiana to West Texas than from West
Texas to Indiana is only one of the many instances
*£ preference shown the North and East over the
Southwest.
Artificial curbs on commerce hurt business and
rate inequalities^have the same adverse results as
-Siaate tariff barriers. We are proud Olney’s civic
organizations pledgd their support to this move-
ment which will adjust freight rates that will no
longer penalize West Texas.
Nine l]ears of Service
With quiet wisdom and with wholehearted con-
centration, Chas. T. Wolverton devoted almost
nine years of his time, thought and energy to his
duties, first as secretary and later as president,
of the Oiney Board of Education. For nine years
he carried the burdens of the schools upon his
shoulders and these nine years were months of fi-
nancial difficulties and were far from smooth sail-
ing.
During his tenure as president Mr. Wolverton
sagaciously and impartially directed feelings of
board members through periods when discord and
dissension would have undermined the welfare of
our public schools system. Mr. Wolverton gave also
of his money when calls were twice issued for
donations to keep the doors of the schools from
closing; he gave generously, it may well be added.
While the board members and the town sincerely
regrets his resignation from offiical participation
n school matters, the untold and unsung services
rendered by this quiet-mannered man have not
gone unnoticed and the nine years of duty are
truely and deeply appreciated.
To Dudley Myers, who is filling the vacancy
created by Mr. Wolverton’s resignation, the citi-
zens of Oiney pledge their support to him. This
support is also renewed to C. V. Morgan, the newly
elected president, as he steers the board through
forthcoming months.
Kite Ftyinq
It takes only a split second for electricity to
travel through space; we all know that. That’s why
warnings are issued every year by power com-
panies to parents and children, because when a
stray kite contacts a wire there’s no time for ac-
tions. Parents cannot stress too much the dangers
of carelessness in flying kites.
Too often children use metal wire in the place
of string on their kites and when this wire comes
in contact with a power line the result is instantly
disastrous. Even plain kite strings sometimes carry
current, especially if the string is \yet.
When a kite becomes entangled with a power
line, it is best to call the service company who
will send trained workmen to extricate the kite, if
possible. Don’t let a kite be a carrier of death to
your child.
Safety for Ctyclisis
Frequent, and sometimes fatal, accidents to bi-
cycle riders in Dallas and other cities call atten-
tion to the need for special safety efforts in this
field. In New York City, where seven youngsters
were killed and 400 seriously injured last yfear
while riding bicycles on the streets, the school sys-
tem has'begun with WPA help, a program of safety
instruction for bicycle riders.
With aid of ninety teachers, provided by the
WPA, officials of the Board of Education are of-
fering lectures and demonstrations on how to ride
a bicycle safely and have formed seventy-five
bicycle clubs in various parts of the city. The in-
struction is practical, as well as theoretical, and
each pupil is given a test before he passes the
course.
With cycling as popular as it is now, and with
evenings growing longer, both cyclists and motor-
ists need to use special care to avoid accidents. Par-
ents can do much for safety by seeing that bicycles
are in good repair and instructing their children
in safe riding and observance of traffic regula-
tions. It is well also to discourage cycling at night
or in heavy motor traffic.—Dallas Morning News.

Exchange Rack at the City Hall would like some

magazines of any type, to be exchanged.

Well-planted Is Half Made
BY T. C. RICHARDSON, Secretary
Breeder-Feeder Association
The best time to cultivate the crop is before it is planted. All the things
that go into the making of a good seed bed for the particular crop affect
the harvest months ahead, ana no amount of cultivation afterwards will
overcome the lack of proper preparation before the seed goes into the
ground. Besides, putting the bare land in good tilth ahead of planting time
is easier to do than worry with*
cloddy, trashy fields in the first
cultivation when the little seedlings
are so easy to cover up.
You cannot make a full yield
without a full stand; you cannot
get a good stand without a good
seed-bed and good seed; you can-
not hold a full stand in a rough
field without wasting a lot of time
at the first cultivation; and you
can’t give the tender seedlings that
extra boost by an early working
with harrow or fine-tooth cultiva-
tor in rough land. Add it all up and
it is better to delay planting a few
days to prepare a good seed bed
than to “nigger it in” and hope for
“luck.”
TIME OPERATIONS
All the work that goes into build-
ing or repairing terraces, plowing,
bedding on the contour, re-beding
(and pulverizing where needed) is
done more rapidly and can be done
with a greater variety of implements
than the work of planting and cul-
tivating. The work of preparation
also has wider limits in time, since
(except for the final operation just
prior to planting) it can be done
as well one week as another. This
is not true after the most favorable
date of planting comes around on
the calendar. From that time until
the final cultivation every operation
must be timed to the needs of the
crop if best results are to be had.
The seedling stage is the most
critical in the life of the plant,
and the quicker the seedlings are
able to establish good roots and
shoot up to a vigorous stature the
better the prospects of a crop and
the easier to cultivate. If they have
to struggle against poor soil condi-
tions for germination and root for-
mation they may never entirely ov-
ercome it, and if they do, they will
be puny at the time they should be
healthy. Whoever has painfully and
slowly struggled to keep from cover-
ing up the little plants at the first
cultivation knows how slow it goes,
and wishes for the upstanding seed-
lings which spring from good seed
in a good soil.
NATURAL GROWTH BETTER
All seeds carry the food for start-
ing the seedling on its way, but the
food stored in the seed is soon ex-
hausted. If soil conditions encour-
age rapid and vigorous root forma-
tion the plant is drawing food from
the soil before the supply in the
seed is exhaused,. and grows off
without delay. In a poor seed bed
some plants die after germination
for no other reason than they were
unable to establish roots quickly
enough; others struggle along with
a partial root system4 and finally
survive, but are they never as
strong, as large, as fruitful, as those
which grow off naturally. Climatic
hazards aff-ect all plants of the
same kind alike, but the vigorous
ones recover quickest from cold,
excess moisture, or other uncontrol-
lable hazard. ^
Every farmer knows what con-
stitutes a good seed bed in his par-
ticular soil and how to make it good.
He also knows the different seed
seed bed requirements of the crops
he regularly plants, and that some
are more tolerant of unfavorable
soil conditions than others. This
tolerance, however, is no excuse for
placing the burden on the plant.
Everything that can be done to
make its start in life easy pays off
in the long run, and controllable
factors properly attended to reduce
the danger from the uncontrollable
factors—weather, etc. .
Ask the most successful farmers
you know and they will agree that
a crop well planted is half made.
