death. Mrs. Coody was the daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Kirkland,
of Corinth community in Cass
county. She was 07 years, 5 months |
and 28 days old at her death.
Eight children came to 1)1 ess
them of whom six survive, two!
daughters, Misses Yadna and Vera
Coody, of Fort Worth, and four,
sons, Troy Coody, Linden, N. J., j
and Bismark, Minor and Cloyd of i
Fort Worth. The eldest son, (Je-j
Ion Coody, died at Derry, La.,
May 28, 1935, and was buried at
Commerce, Texas. This son was
a noble spirit and was dt voted to j
his father, mother and members of
the family and his going was a |
heavy loss to them.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Coody join-
ed the Baptist church early in life
and remained steadfast, devoted
christians, always ready to attend
the sick, help the needy and lend a |
hand wherever their services might
assist some one else. At the time of
their death they were members of
Calvary Baptist church in Fort
Worth.
As a resident of Cass County,
Mr. Coody was well known a.s a
useful citizen and a faithful public
servant. For several years he was
prominent in the Farmers Union
movement. In 1923 he was elect-
ed by a large majority to represent
Cass county in the Texas Legisla-
ture and he served with distinction
in the 39th Legislature. In recog-
nition of those services resolutions
were passed by the present Legis-
lature praising his work and ex-
tending sympathy to the bereaved
family. He often expressed his re-
gret for having resigned at the
height of his service to his county.
But this act was one of devotion to
his wife and family who wanted to
be together, even though most of
the children were grown, when he
moved to Fort Worth 14 years ago.
Such was the beauty and gran-
deur of these faithful, simple, ser-
viceable lives that I rejoice at hav-
ing been called their friend.

IN YOUR COTTON
TOP-DRESSER
tatith careful seedbed preparation, fertilization, and
" ' selection of seed, you have planned a cotton crop which,
will carry through to profits in 1937. Keep those profits
growing. Only vigorous, healthy plants will withstand rust
and wilt and mature a full crop. COTTON RUST IS POTASH
HUNGER. Results at the South Carolina Experiment Sta-
tion show that where cotton rusts, extra potash is needed.
The Arkansas and Mississippi stations report that liberal
potash applications not only control rust but reduce the
amount of wilt. If your fertilizer at planting time did not con-
tain ample potash, utv? 50-100 pounds of muriate of potash
per acre in your nitrogen-potash top-dresser. It is important
that the top-dresser be applied immediately after chopping.
Conrult your county agent or experiment ttation
on jrour toil requirement*. See jrour fertiliser
manufacturer or dealer about nitrogen-potash
top-dressers. Writ• me ior further information,
