WHO SAID FARM RELIEF?
NOT TEXAS FARMERS!
Texas farmers, as a rule, aren't
much concerned by all this "holier"
about "farm relief."
That man who gets out and hi'
the ball, most generally, doesn't
need any relief -lie works out hi:
own salvation.
At the State Fair- of Texas, eve:;
year, there's a comprehensive detn
onstratlon and proof of the mantiei
In which Texas farmers, accomplish
this, through the attractive, edifying,
instructive county agricultural ex-
hibits, and there'll be more of them
this year, Oct. fl-IM, than ever before.
