Henry Wilbourn of the Troup
Conservation group is making pre-
parations to build a farm pond. He
is clearing all the brush and trees
from the lake bed, and dam site.
Mr. Wilbourn plans to put a six
inch pipe through the hills and
install a watering trough for
stock below the dam. Technical as-
sistance and supervision is being
furnished by the S. C. S.
The supervisors of the Chero-
kee County SCD meet Thursday,
February 9 and approved the fol-
lowing agreements: Rusk State
Hospital, 220 acres; M. B. Ellis,
Rusk, 52 acres; N. H. Darby, Sum-
merfieldl, 97 acres, W. D. Mc-
Elroy, Henry's Chapel 250 acres.
"Preacher" Butler, farm super-
visor for the Rusk State Hospital
is well pleased with abruzzi rye
and vetch for winter grazing. One
16 acre field he now has 24 brood
sows and 170 pigs in excellent con-
dition. Mr. Butler states the rye
and vetch is saving them about
one-third on their feed bill.
Winter pastures are proving i
very profitable throughout the
District. Ray Todd, W. T. Gools-;
bee, and other dairymen report
substantial increase in milk when j
dairy cows are turned in on winter
pastures and a corresponding drop
when they are removed.
The following landowners were '
assisted recently in planning a I
complete conservation plan by
conservationists with the SCS: Dr.
J. C. Hill, 700 acres, and J. H.
Pearman, 300 acres in the Alto
conservation group. John F.
Early, 155 acres in the Atoy
Conservation Group; Cecil Good-
man, 82 acres in the Wells Con-
servation group, and J. S. Bennett
129 acres in the Ponta Conserva-
tion Group.
Eugene Exleton reports Dixie
wonder peas are better than knee
high on his farm. Mr. Exleton is
an excellent conservation farmer.
His place is located six miles
southwest of Rusk.

emphasis will be put on marketing
rather than production during the
next decade.
This about sums up the impres-
sion of Louis Franke, Texas A.
and M. extension editor after in-
terviewing many agricultural au-
thorities, including economists.
Emphasis will be put on market-
ing and distribution, the experts
told Mr. Franke, simply because
science has shown the farmer how
to produce far more than he or
the market needs.
Surpluses are threatening the
farmers on every continent of the
globe, it is claimed.
This makes a better system of
distribution mandatory to keep
pace with the world's stepped-up
production.
In spite of the increased produc-
tion, however, the farm popula-
tion is steadily dropping, Mr.
Franke found.
Back in 1800 farm people made
up 94 per cent of the United
States population; by 1900 this
figure had dropped to 60 per cent
and by 1920 to 30 per cent and
right now it is estimated that
rural farm people account for only
18 per cent of the population.
The experts feel that the farm
population, however, will not drop J
much lower than 15 per cent. In j
other words 15 persons will pro- j
GOOD FOR YOU . .
Mr. Franke predicts that in-
creased production undoubtedly
will lead to increased grassland
agriculture. He sees more and
more crop products being mar-
keted through animals.
IT HAPPENED IN FEBRUARY
Fifty years ago at the Opera
Comique, Paris, composer Gustave
Charpentier heard the world pre-
meire of his greatest opera,
Louise. This "realistic" work
later played with notable success
in the U. S.
Seventy-five years ago in Vi-
enna, home of music, Fritz Kreisl-
er, foremost violinist of our time
and eminent composer, born. His
American debut was in 1888.
Two hundred twenty-fivt / years
ago James Otis, brilliant advocate
of Colonial rights, born in West
Barnstable, Mass. His speech op-
posing search without warrant is
called the "prologue to the A-
merican Revolution." A blow by
a British officer destroyed his
sanity before the war—but he
fought at Bunker Hill anyway.
One hundred years ago a Balti-
morean who married royalty—
long before Wallis Warfield —
born. She was glamorous Eliza-
beth Patterson. Her catch— Je-
rome Bonaparte, visiting here as
brother of the great Napoleon.
The Emperor angrily broke up
the marriage, leaving Elizabeth's
son to found the socially promi-
nent American Bonaparte family
Seventy-five years ago habitues
of New York's Bowery were offer-
ed their first machine. Introduc-
ed by Prof. Samuel F. O'Reilly,
this contribution to the arts en-
graved human hide with intricate
designs called "tattaugraphs."
One hundred fifty years ago
great sea battle of our undeclared
war with France. The outmanned
U.S.S. Constellation, under Capt.
Thomas Truxton, drove the 50-gun
La Vevenance into half-sinking
retreat with 160 casualties. His
mast overboard, Truxton could
not follow.

,v. . why not FOR
YOUR FAMILY?
Many men who believe in the
benefits of Personal Accident In-
surance enough to carry it for
themselves seem to overlook the
value of such protection for
their families. Wives and
children are just as subject
to injuries as husbands and
fathers, and if they get hurt,
they also must have medical
care, with resulting expense.
To meet such accident costs, we
offer special Housewives' and
Students' Accident Policies for
women and for children of
school age. Full details gladly
furnished without oblation.

likely hideout of the snowshoe rabbit.
Pick a small swamp for the dogs lo
