The Brand regrets to see Mr. Wood-
burn using the nail order methods
(sending his money out of town) in
plying his announcement before the
public, yet it can but admire his
grit. (He'll never see that dollar
again).
Hereford, Texas, June IS, 1910.
Editor Herald,
Siverton, Texas,
Kind Sir and Friend:
I wish to express my gratitude
through your valuable paper to my
friends at Silverton for their interest
they are taking in my physical wel-
fare. Of course, I lout my seat.
Now I dont blame the city council
altogether for this trouble. It was
the pressure that was brought to
bear on them by the voters who fear-
ed these democratic caucuses.
I am thinking of running for next
Mayor the next term, and if I do, I
will have just one plank and it will
reach all the way up Main street
and have cushions on it in front of
each business house. I will have
spittoons placed along so we will not
have to strain ourselves to spit over
the side-walk.
1 shall expect the support of all
my friends at Silverton.
Yours very truly,
E. T. WOODBURN.
(Mr. Woodburn enclosed money
order to cover his announcement
which will be found in the proper
colum. It is a settled fact now, that
he will get the undivided support of
the people of Brisco county. Any
man who runs on the aDove platform
has the whole town beat to a fraz-
zle.—Ed.)
So the situation is warming up
and the side-walk is getting harder
for sitting purposes. This was evid-
enced Tuesday afternoon when the
usual crowd of political loafers as-
sembled in front of the Woodburn
store. They tried to meet further
down the street and lined up along
the front of the Corner Drug Store
and Myrick's, but the rough cor-
rugation of the iron sills were too
much for the tender places of their
corporal anatomy and too they were
ordered "to move on" by the city
marshal. The crowd theo lined up
under their "own vine and fig tree"
taking positions on the hard con-
crete side-walk. Mr. Woodburn
took the floor (figuratively spe&king
but he only rak d the loose dirt
away so that be could have a clean
hard place to spit) and delivered a
harangue of the most vehement sort.
He talked about inalienble rights,
initiative et referrendum, govern-
ment by injunction, the recalladum
and submission. He incidentily rang
in sometoing about his sore feet and
tired pedal extremities caused by
standing on the adament pavement,
▲nd mentioned that he had bagged
his breeches by standing akimbo so
long that he chawed more battle ax
since than ever before. In the wind-

upend of his speech wMea was loud-
ly cheered by his admiring bunch,
he proposed a compromise and offer*
ed a flag of truce across the firing
line, for conference and to give an
an opportunity to hurry the dead
and wounded. He proposed that if
the city Mayor and marahall would
agree to wink at the non-enforce-
ment of just fourteen feet of that
side-walk ordinance, that he (Wood-
burn) would withdraw from the race
and support the nominee of the • reg-
ular party.
So far not a word has been heard
from the mayor and marshall and
active hostilities are expected at
any moment. Adjt. Woodburn and
his men are warmed mp under the
collar. Heavy artillery is being
brought onto the field and a battery
of long range automatio and disap-
paaring guns is being placed.
But the most exasperating thing
about the whole thing is the silent
indifference with which Mr. Wood-
burn proposals of peace are being
treated. The only member of the
city council who has evinced any in-
terest. This is Mr. Keliehor, the
red Irishman on the council, who
told Mr. Woodburn to bring his
benches back regardless of the act-
ion of the ones of the city health of-
ficer. But Mr. Woodburn's friends
saw a trick and a snare in this. The
benches back and all the polttical
loafers comfortably lined up, the
city marshall would sweep down on
them and put every one of them in-
to the city impound. This would
cost them $1.00 each and extra feed
if kept over night. Hence the sit-
uation grows more desprate each
day.
The caucus broke up when it
thnndred and all the crowd shifted
their chaw to the other side and'
went home.
The caucus however will have
daily sessions beginning as soon as
the shade of the awning reaches 3
feet beyond the edge of the side-
walk.

Boys' Picnic.
Rev. W. M. Baker with about
twenty boys, all in their teens, spent
the week on the river camping and
fishing. They pitched their tents a-
bout 8 miles east of town and have
enjoyed a full week of pleasure. The
fishing was fine and all the lads were
delignted with the outing,.
As a finale to Rev. Baker's and
the boys' "week on the Tierra Blan-
ca," the mothers and a few others
were invited to spend the "last day"
with them. So Tnursday morning,
"sundown hats and slat-sun bonnets"
were quickly brought into requisition
Everyone was in a hurry to "get
there" for Brother Baker phoned
early that he and the boys had a
large wash tub filled with fish, all
ready for the "fry."
The writer cannot help but wish
that she had been among the invited
guests, for she can almost taste the
fish.
Among those who were seen hur-
rying away were Mesdames Warren,
Lipscomb, Baker, Fox and Board-
man.

Incrsamng Production.
The increase in agricultural produc-
has both an individual and com
muuity interest The farmer is vitally
interested in increasing the yield, as
It eoata no more to cultivate an acre
•f land that produces two bales of
cotton than it does an acre of land
that produces one bale of cot-
ton. and the second bale is clear profit
to the farmer. The farmers who have
followed the advice of our agricul-
tural departments in selecting seed,
methods of culture, character of crops,
combating pests, etc., have been able
to double production. The farms of
Texas are yielding an average of
tl.M0,000 per day, and by doubling
production in that portion of the land
now under cultivation we can produee
•1,13S,«?S,000 instead of S561,330,000
per annum as shown in the figure be-
low.
THAT JOHN DEERE
122.678000.
Increase in Production.
A concrete example would perhaps
be more satisfactory than an imag-
inary standard, says the Texas Com-
mercial Secretaries' Association, and
we will, therefore, compare Texas
with Illinois. Our lands are more fer-
tile, our seasons more reliable ad
our climatic conditions more fw«or-
able to farming than in Illinois. In
Illinois the average farm contains 134
acres and yields 11,300 per farm. In
Texas the average farm contaA is 35?
acres and yields 3681 per farm.
The cut shown below illustral is the
growth the Texas farmer mua* make
to reach the Illinois standard.

The Parmer Must Grow.
To build up the Texas farmer we
must improve our public highways,
build railroads, build factories, open
mines, build cities, and otherwise in-
crease our markets and facilities for
reaching the market. We must look
to our Agricultural Department, A. &
M. Colleges, Experimental Stations
and agricultural agents to build up the
farm and instruct the farmer. These
institutions ought to be liberally sup-
ported by appropriations and co-op-
eration In their work.
