Annual Fair, Panhandle Normal
School, Experimental Station,
Wheat Growers Association and
Other Things Discussed.
At a called meeting of the Direc-
tors of the Commercial Club last
Friday night in the office of Presi-
dent Knight many things of general
interest were discussed. Those
present were: W. M. Knight, J. L.
Fuqua, L. Gough, J. E. Garrison,
A. C. Elliott, two members being
out of town.
The first question which was dis-
cussed at length was the advisability
of organizing a Wheat Growers As-
sociation similar to the East Texas
Fruit and Truck organizations. It
was moved that the president of the
Farmers Institute be asked to join
in a call for a meeting of all farm-
ers in the Hereford district to meet
at the courthouse at some near date
and there lay plans for such an
organization, the purpose of which
will be to take up the scientific study
of wheat, methods of preparing the
soil, planting, cultivating, harvest-
ing and marketing.
By general consent it was agreed
to co-operate with the Benevolent
Club in making Wednesday, April
21, clean-up-day.
The question of joining with other
Panhandle counties in the erection
of a suitable exhibit hall at the Tex-
as State Fair was discussed and it
1 was agreed by motion that the Club
would unite in the enterprise. In
this connection, it was brought out
that Hereford must be represented
at the Fair this fall and it is propos-
ed to make the exhibit worth the

of advertising is our chief
