This picture of the new farm home of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Lewis,
in the Lone Star community. The picture was made the other
day by the News Editob while making a surVey of some farms
on which harry vetch and use of super phosphate fertilizers are
being tried. Lewis says a trial of the vetch plantings ha? meant
so much in eliminateing the blowing of sand that he will plant
all his land, in it. He's found it profitable as a soil builder and
winter pasture. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis have here one of the most at-
tractive farm homes iri the county. Mrb and Mrs. Lewis are of
two of-thelrest known old families of the county. He formerly
was in the Bowie postoffice service. Mrs. Lewis taught in the
public schools here for a number of years and both are prominent
in Bowie church activities. All the modern conveniences of a town
home are being added to this country place as rapidly as possible.
