year 1!) districts ill t'ollln count) re-
ceived aid, hence I wrote you to
know why more of the districts have
not yet applied for aid this year.
You have h> | n not Hied already that
Mr. I,. T Cunningham, rural school
supervisor, will lie In your county
on Tuesday and Wednesday, Novem-
ber 2Sth and 2111 It, for the purpos
of visiting the schools that will <lc-|
sire to receive aid this yeuV. It will
lie a great convenience to Mr. Cun-
ningham if you can have a copy of
each application for aid from your
county on tile in the office when lie
visits you. All applications should
lie inii.de in duplle.ato, one copy to
lie Hied In your office and I lie otlieil
one forwarded to this Department.
My refer lint? to Bulletin R 4, a copy
of which I am sending you under
Heparaie cover, you can determine
just what districts In the county
have not yet filed an application for
aid this year, and it would he udvis-
ahle to nrgo them to do so at the
very earliest moment possible, be-
cause the amount available for tills
year will be distributed much earlier
than it was last year. <>r course,

From t.lio brief statement you
make relative lo one of the districts

llilil the trustees that were appoint-
ed by the commissioners' court and
qualified first constitute the legal
board, If the Others Who were elect-

sitting In a barber shop. Heart failure
in supposed to have been the cause. He
was apparently In the best of health
five minutes before death. A futile
attempt was made nt resuscitation

two terms as County Clerk. He Is

They "Hick" Different Now.
A good farmer recently slated to
a reporter of tills paper. Iliiil when
he was selling turkeys In McKlnney
by the head al fill cents, that tile
buyer would always say "Now pick
lil(i out a good, fat one -that big fel-
low over there," but since he is noyv
selling by I lie pound and al high
prices, he says the M.oKlnney man
who wants a turkey for dinner says,
"noyv brother, Just give me a small
one, because inv family is small and
we can't eat much turkey," and lie's
the same fellow who, a few years
ago called for the big fnl gobbler.
So tiie fanner smiles again.
ConiiMiltlon Is Sharp.
The Northern and lOaslern buyers
are very anxious for turkeys and aro

one place in Collin county where two
buyers were competing Willi one an-

groyvn turkeys, which they are not.

prices will go much higher before
Christmas. Many farmers who were
holding cotton for 20 cents per
pound were "hooted" nt by some,
but they are getting It now and
many of them believe that their tur-
keys will soon be worth 30 cents
per pound.
Profitable Poultry Year.
The year 1016 has been a good
year for the men with poultry of
any kind. Fryers are worth 12 1-2c
per pound, old hens find a. ready
market at 10c per pound nml even
old roosters have advanced to $2.40
per dozen. The turkey leads In poul-
try and is the least expensive of all
to raise, especially where they have
a range lo run on.
The Collin County Calr, recently
belli in McKlnney, showed very
plainly the Increasing demand for
thoroughbred poultry for the farm.
In the poultry show at the fair many
birds brought very fancy prices,
people who had only a fair grade of
chickens -add young roosters at $l.no
each and up. while th" better grades
went as high as $20 and |2"> for a
good rooster, with' hens bringing un-
usually high prices too. line i x111' l-
tor at the fair was heard to say
tli'it she sold all the stock she had
to spare and had ord'-rs for at b ast
a hundred dollars' worth inoro
which she was unable to deliver.
She y\ as the wife of a Collin county
farmer who has found the poultry
business to lie profitable.
Indications arc that next year will
be n banner year for the poultry In-
