The people of El Campo are well
acquainted with the Quartette as the
young men have presented programs
here in the past, and Kermit Gideon,
an El Campo boy, is on the Quartette
as Business Manager.
This is rather a lengthy tour for
a School Quartette to take, but the
success of the boys is freely predict-
ed by those who know them and have
heard them sing.

Whar-

tracts of forage for feed.
- My neighbor is really a much more
interesting man to talk to and visit
with since he has divided both his

farming but also to stock raising.

Lera (those
in the last three years the govern-
ment has been encouraging the farm-
ers to reduce the cotton. acreage and
plant a variety of things. So my neigh
bor decided to plant a few acres of
corn, a patch of sudan, an acre or
two of hegira and some sorghum for
roughage; and Invested a few hun-
dred dollars in cattle of good breed,
thinking that in case his cotton did
not amount to much he could possib-
ly make running expenses by - sell-
ing stock cattle.
The farmer has to use his brains
in order to make all ends meet so
he must raise everything used for
feed. He took his cotton seed to the
cotton seed mill and exchanged seed
for cotton seed cake and meal. By
cutting his corn before ripe and mix-
ing it with the meal for she barn feed
and using the sudan hegira and sor-
ghum for roughage he had a balanc-
ed ration that fattened the stock in
a short time.
The climate here is very favorable
for stock, for the cattle can graze on
the pastures the entire year and he
does not need expensive built barns
to shelter them during the winter
"weather and since he can raise all
the feed needed, the expense in feed
ing cattle is not so great. My neigh-
bor had not trouble in finding s mar-
ket for bls fat stock and received a
fair price for it so his first year's in-
come on cattle showed that it was
profitable to feed stock. The next

The -heavy -rain, last week seemed
to be just what was needed to bring
in the. people from all the neighbor-
ing communities last Saturday,
From early morning *tll far into the
night the streets of El Campo were
crowded with shoppers of every de-
scription and color.
The cotton pickers hadn't been able
to pick for several days so evidently
had done Saturday’s washing early

A real western atmosphere prevail-
ed at Dewey Smidt's farm east of
town Sunday. Clinking spurs, bawling
cows and calves and the shouts of
the cowboys gave the big crowd of
rodeo fans the feeling that they were
truly "out west”.
At 9:30 the crowd began to gather
but, what with getting cattle sorted
and everything in readiness, time
passed quickly and there was time
tor only one event before lunch. Sev-
eral entered in this contest and many
were the arts of goat roping used.
Little 10-year-old Paul Smidt, son of
Dewey Smidt, carried away the purse
of 85 given for the most dexterous
goat roping.
After lunch of barbecued goat, beef
or pork, pickles and coffee, the crowd
again assembled at the corals for the
afternoon's events of wild horse rid-
ing. break away, calf roping and tie
down, goat roping, etc. There were
three rounds of each.
Purses were won by the following:
Dewey Smidt, goat roping; Albert
Till; Johnny Gann. break away; Gum
bo of Eagle Lake, break away; Johne
ny Gann, break away and tiedown.
And say wild horse riding! All
should have seen Elmer Cornett take
first place riding "Wild White Ella".
He truly rode her and that is some-
thing. for none of the other boys
have been able to accomplish this
feat.
‘Th next rodeo will be held on
September 10th.

Highway Near Pierce
Last Monday .evening a wreck oc-
curred near Pierce which looked as
though the occupants would surely
have been killed. Mr. Brown and a
friend from Houston were coming
down Highway 12 headed for El Cam-
po, at a speed of about 85 miles an
hour. They were nearing the Filling
Station at Pierce and were on the
side of the road when a very thought
less driver drove out from the Ser-
vice Station and upon the highway
without stopping to see if any cars
were approaching. In order to avoid
a terrible collision, Mr. Brown turn-
ed his truck into the left hand ditch
The truck turned over on its top and
when the driver, bloody and badly
bruised managed to crawl from un-
der the wreck he saw that his wheels
were still spinning. The occupants
were brought to El Campo for medi-
cal treatment. Mr. Brown was badly
cut and bruised about the bead and
his friend received minor injuries.
The truck was slightly damaged,
and was ‘brought to $1 Campo for
a clean-up and refill, after which its
continued its journey to Gregory.

THE CITIZEN believes that the Blanket Code,
if followed by every business, large or small, will
serve its purpose in pulling America out of the
slump. If business adopted no other codes, we be-
lieve that the principles of the Blanket Code, com-
bined with the essence of some good old fashioned
honesty and stability in business,, would solve the
problems mainly encountered in the industrial
world. Thse business men who have operated un-
der the principles of the N.R.A., are today sufer-
for Chicago to attend the World's
Fair, accompanied by Mr. and Mre.
Sam Thomason of Houston. (
