Success is indicated by a count of twelve or more early bolls per

In our humble opinion, a "back to God" movement can do more
good for our nation than a thousand planks in a political platform.
It is simple, it is easy, it will work —if we restore the belief in almighty
God in our country.

Speaking Of Crops
Ixxiks as if we are going to have the best crops this year we have
have had in 15 years We have been doing a little touring (to Corpus
Christi and back by two separate routes) and driving around the coun
try aide. It has indeed been a pleasure to nbte the apparent fine yield
of corn and small grains, the healthy looking cotton crops, green pas
tares, and a general look of farming prosperity
We did note this fact, however Some farmers fertilized; some
did not. There is a vast difference in results. In one instance we saw
two fieWa of corn side, by side. One looked as if the spindly stalks
could not hold up even one year of corn, much less the stalk itself
being used as fodder. Right next to it was a field with stalks double
ta height, trip* in thickness of stalk, heavy with rapidly ripening
jmin One farmer was going to make a nice profit on his corn, the
other would hardly break even on cost of seed, planting and harvest-
tag. It io amazing how much difference fertlkzec can moke on two
