We see notices in the papers
of Henderson county, where the
farmers are asked to come in to
the different towns and get
their cucumber seed for this
year’s planting. This is but an-
other gentle reminder to us
that .along in the spring and
summer months is the time
that a little ready cash comes in
pretty nice. Only a few days
ago we had a man from Hender-
son county hiking the cash from
the poekets of the people of our
town, and the bait he used was
enough to make any one’s mouth
water, or any sucker bite, for
who is the one that will turn
down a nice bowl of strawber-
ries with cream and sugar for
sauce? Well that was what he
had to tempt the folks to part
with their long green—nice, fat,
red, juicy, strawberries. And to
think after getting the market
supplied in Canton, he went on
up the Dixie, passing through
Myrtle Springs (which place is
surrounded by the very finest
soil, sub-irrigated) where many
years ago we saw our first
strawberry patch, and where
now with little effort, this
choice berry could be raised in
profusion. And this will apply
to a large per cent of the tim-
bered section of this county.
Just at this time Van Zandt
county should be putting on the
markets of Dallas, Forney, Ter-
rell, Kaufman and other black
land towns strawberries and
blackberries enough to supply
the tables with sugar, coffee
and many other of the things
which we really cannot raise.
Why let the other fellow beat
us to it ? Let’s wake up and go
after those things which bring
in the cash.
some ready cash into the coun-
ty, we received an ad from Lin-
dale over in Smith county, say-
ing they must have outside help
to pick the enormous berry crop
just coming into ripening over
there. Now just think of the
money that would come to us if
we had a berry crop to put on
the market, that would give em-
ployment to all the boys and
girls turned loose from school
during the last few weeks and
soon to be out of school. If they
need 2,000 hands as advertised
for over at Lindale and they can
earn $1.00 per day, which they
can, this would be for labor
from now until July 15 or 20.
when picking would be over,
something like $120,000. As the
labor iepresents less than one-
eighth of what the berries will
bring net, then we have for the
berry crops $960,000, plus $120,-
000 for labor, which would be
$1,080,000 for the crop. Of
course this may be an over es-
timation, but to say the least it
is reasonable and shows why the
banks in Smith county have a
better showing than ours. Just
recently the federal appraiser
for the Federal Land Bank at
Houston (and he lives in Smith
county) told me that we had a
much better grade of land in
this county than they had in
Smith, but he says, “We don’t
depend on cotton over there, if
we did we would all go broke.
Tomatoes and berries get us
by.”

steady while it increased his respon-

a cheerless home—a stifling garret
that Jim would have scorned in his
farm days. Then the last dolla, was
spent and Jim knew the feeling,of
panic that comes in such a time. Whe
the moey to buy tickets home came,
the gloom lifted and life once more
assumed its old aspect. The farm at
least offered a home and plenty, and
its wholesofe environment outclassed
the city’s false glamor.—Exchange.

and help in relief work in some
of the flooded districts. No peo-
ple on earth are more ready
than those of our Sunny South
to go to the relief of those in
distress. While the papers are
full of articles telling about the
crime wave, and the many atro-
cious crimes which are being
committed, and this in a great
measure by women, and while
we recognize that this is true,
and that it is a cause of alarm,
yet when we see society leaders
leaving thir clubs, card parties
j and receptions to go on missions
of mercy, and engage in the
work of the good Samaritan,
then we are assured that within
the breast of such women there
is that which is akin to a moth-
er’s love. That feeling for home
and friend; that sympathy for
the friendless, the unfortunate,
that has been an outstanding
principle of our American people
through the years, and which
has been an inspiration to the
sons’ of our nation, such as
Longfellow, Whittier, Bryant,
Grady, Guest and many others.
And while we are purely drift-
ing, with our jazz, and movies,
modem dance and auto riding,
immodest dress and beach bath-
ing improprieties, far out into
the breakers, yet we feel that
deep down in every red-blooded i
American parent’s heart, there
is a desire to see our children
lead clean lives, to honor God, to
have sympathy for the oppress-
ed and to willingly go to the aid
of those left destitute by mis-
fortune’s Hast We may have to
go on the rocks before we are
awakened to the seriousness of
the situation that now is ours to
face, but we believ when the
awakening comes, there will be
a speedy return to virtue's path,
to cleaner living, tote honor-
ing of God and the recognition
of the needs of those mor un-
fortunate about us. May the day
be speedily ushere in'when we
will give the main things in life
our first thoughts and our un-
ited best efforts. It may not be
so dark as the glaring headlines
of the great dailies picture it.
Hope is ever present in the
breast of the real hero. And may
