The time of year has come when
ICE is a necessity, due to the big
variation in temperature from
day to day. You can’t keep per-
ishable foods, and eat them, if
the temperature is around 70 or
75 degrees.
When you want Ice, phone 48

The Chevrolet Sedan with its body by
Fisher reveals a distinction usually found
only on the costliest custom-built
creations.
It is finished in rich Marine Blue Duco,
gold striped, and its handsome propor-
tions are emphasized by new full-crown,
one-piece fenders and bullet-type lamps.
In addition it offers the host of improve-
ments which helped make the Most
Beautiful Chevrolet the greatest sensa-
tion of America’s greatest industry. AC
air cleaner, AC oil filter, large 17-inch
steering wheel, new frame-mounted tire
carrier, gasoline gauge and many, many
others.
Come in I You need only to see this new
supremely beautiful and mechanically
finer sedan to realize what amazing value
it represents at its greatly reduced price.

The teacher was taking the class in
mathematics. Her first question she
addressed to Isaac.
“Isaac,” she said, “suppose you had
65 cents.”
Little Isaac’s eyes gleamed.
“And suppose I asked you to lend
ma half a dollar.”
Little Isaac’s eyes glistened.
“How much,” asked the teacher,
“would you have left?”
“Please, miss, 65 cents.”

money or credit to try out anything
else but cotton. I figure tho that he
is mistaken; there may be some
“money lenders” of this sort but not
bankers and these sort of fellers has
less friends than anybody for all the
best bankers and best farmers too are
against them. But on the other
hand, we have some who wouldn’t try
to grow nothin’ but cotton under any
kind of a chance—some renters and
some landlords—and I think the
thing to do would be to get these all
together in one bunch and let ’em go
to it and see which would starve and
play out first, them or the land they
mine for an existence. The money
lender and land owner who can see
no merit or value in anything but cot-
ton and the renter who wants to play
safe through balanced farmin’ should
never be brought together.
Diversified farmin’ means soil that
will make a livin’ for future genera-
tions, for the babies who live on the
farms. It means an insurance policy
against over production and bankrupt
prices and the poorest tenant as well
as the richest landlord ought to have
a chance to try it out.
A lot of ’em tho have stayed in the
rut so long that they are about like
the stingiest man in the country was
when triplets was born to him. The
next mornin’ he dressed up in his
best, which he never was used to
wearin’ except on special Sunday
events, and started down the street to
work and was met by a friend, who
in astonishment; asked why he was
wearin’ his best clothes to work. The

to provide a prosperous future for
the South. And the main thing is not
to let the “cotton gamblin’ ” farmer
have any stakes to bet on this year
unless he is willin’ to bet on all the
horses instead of bettin’ the whole
wad on old King Cotton, who loses
about 2 races out of ever three he

the rest will bear the burden and dis-

We hope our people will not be 1
like old Polk A. Long, one of our ’
leading merchants, when he started to
take a boat ride at Galveston and got
down to the landing and saw the boat 1
movin’ and thought it was leavin’
him, so he took a run and made a big
jump to git on, board and landed over
his head in the water. After they
got him out the captain said, “Why
didn’t you wait a minit, you blamed
old fool, the boat was just cornin’ in.”
So let’s all keep cool and use com-
mon sense and we will come out all

religion; they believe in it but don t
practice it much. If you don t think
the idea of diversified farmin’ is pop-
ular right now, with cotton sellin’ for
ten cents and feed and grub mighty
high, then just start out and ask the
first hundred farmers you meet what
they think about it. I can’t say how
strong they will be when the grass
puts up again next spring for the
general run of farmers here in East
Texas can howl more all thru the fall
and winter and be the most cheerful
and optimistick lot in the spring that
the good Lord ever made.
Right now old man "Will Bungle,
who didn’t make any feed an’ food
this year because he said all the talk
about low cotton prices this fall was
all bunk, and Owen Moore, who has
always been an all cotton farmer, ■■y—.....Z.Z L uu u
both say they are goin’ to cut down stingy neighbor replied, Man, have
the cotton acreage and put in more 1
corn, peas, peanuts, sorghum, pota- 1
toes, sugar cane, and other stuff <
along with a good milk cow, enough ’
but I’m afraid they will backslide
when the fishin’ gets good next spring '
unless our banker, Will B. Wize,
holds the strings of the bank’s purse
awful tight, and sets steady in the
boat, as the sayin’ goes.
And I’m not so sure about myself
either because March and April is
mighty hard on my New Year resolu-
tions on farmin’ but I have already
planted a fall garden which is look-
in’ fine and have bought 4 dozen
standard bred hens and got rid of the
7 or 8 old Dukes Mixtures that we
have had for four or five years. Next
week I will bring home a good brood
sow I traded for from my cousin Rich
Akers, who has always been a diversi-
fied farmer, and I was about to for-
get to say that I planted 18 acres in
oats last month like your bulletin sug-
gested. So it seems, so far, that the
signs are somewhat in my favor to
use some common horse sense from
now on and practice diversification
as well as believe in it.
Another trouble, too, with a lot of
us farmers about diversification is
that we seem to think that to diversi-
fy means to quit raisin’ cotton alto-
gether, and raise all potatoes, or all
corn, or all tomatoes, or go into the
chicken or dairy business on a big
scale. It really don’t mean anything
of the kind, but just opposite; some
corn, some potatoes, some peas, some
chickens, cows, and hogs, and some of
everything a feller needs on the farm
with a little to spare and then grow
some cotton besides, which will be a
surplus crop.
Diversification means a barn full
of feed and a pantry full of grub
with a milk cow and some hogs in the
pasture and a bunch of chickens on
the yard, and the farmer that has
that can’t be bankrupted and will be
the last one to howl for a law to
force reduction of the cotton crop or
to call on the government to save
him from ruin. The above has al-
ways been the plan of my cousin Rich
Akers, ever since he quit workin’ for
