FARM NOTES
By F. O. MONTAGUE ,
County Agent 1
The following outline comes to us
from Wilson County. A suggested j
farm cropping program that is in- j
tended to help farmers of that county !
to "find" themselves taking note of!
the general economic condition of the !
country and the thirty per cent cotton
reduction law passed a few weeks
ago.
Prefacing it with the modest re-
mark that, "If ever there was a fool-
ish thing for an agent to do, it is to
outline a planting schedule for farms
in general over the county. However,
in conference with several prominent
farmers of the county, we decided to
risk the chances," said E. D. Beck,
County Agent of Wilson County, who
launched the first planting plan for
1932 taking cognizance of the new
cotton reduction law.
The thirty per cent cotton law does
not affect our county as a whole but
does affect individual farm. Tht
agreement is that we suggest no cash
crop for which we do not see a defin-
ite market. Due consideration is giv-
en live-at-home plan as well as for a
livestock program. The purpose of
this is to set a gauge or standard to
shoot at rather than a model to be
copied, as he presented the following
planting table as a guide to the farm-
ers of Wilson County:—
For Black Land: Mixed Land:
Cotton
Corn
Hegari
Sudan
Sorghum Hay
Onions
Blackeyed Peas
Pintos
Truck & Garden
Orchard
Ample oats, barley, etc., after corn,
to furnish grazing for the cow, sow
and hen.
El Campo Hi-way is
Nearing Completion
El Campo, Oct. 28.—Completion of
Highway 71 from El Campo south is
about to be realized. The concrete pav-
ing is nearly completed, being at a
point just outside the city limits. Con-
tinued dry weather for a few days will
pe; mit the last lap to be laid.
This highway intersects the Bay
City-Palacios highway at a point near
Blessing and will connect Bay City
Falacios, Blessing, Midfield, Danevang
and El Campo and also the National
Guard Camp west of Palacios.
A celebration is being planned by
El Campo chamber of commerce and
other points along the paving will be
asked to join in the festivities. El
Campo has never celebrated the pav-
ing of No. 12, the Houston-Victoria
highway, and it is planned to hold the
celebration for al) of it. No date has
been set as yet for the exact date of
the opening cannot be determined at
this time.

There is a problem before Texas
today, really immense in its propor-
tions and is very vital to every per-
son, in this State and that is:—How
and to what extent are we going to
change our thinking, acreage to the
various crops grown, and the dis-
posal of those crops and livestock on
a basis that will stand up under the
rigors of a large scope economic an-
alysis? Farmers, bankers, merchants,
men of the various professions,—in
short, every human is directly affect-
ed and should consider every means
of bettering conditions. Farmers
themselves must, in most cases, change
their methods, their habit of thought,
their entire outlook.
Farming is a business, just as the
manufacturing of shoes is a business.
From the raw material of seed, soil,
water and sun, the farmer manufac-
tures his products. Likewise, these
products are moved down the line;
further refined and processed for hu-
man consumption.
Texas Must Learn to Diversify,—
to learn to "live at home and board
at the same place." Surely, no think-
ing farmer can consistently pin his
faith and his future on cotton, or corn,
or onions, or on any other one crop.
What then shall he produce, and how
shall he sell it?
The farmer is a producer and not a
salesman. This old bunk about, "If
I have enough sense to raise and gath-
er it, I ought to know how to sell it,"
really won't hold water. Probably
our maker of shoes would be a flat
failure if he attempted to go on the
road and sell them; and who would
be "boss of the shop" while he was
gone?
The farmer is a producer and us-
ually neither has the time or the sell-
-fog skill to secure the best prices for
his products. Someone then should
do it for him if he is not to be left to
the tender mercies of unscrupulous
and always self interested produce
buyers.
Mr. Ray Braithwaite, an industrial
engineer, makes this point recently
and it should give us thought, "If I
were a banker and a farmer applied
for a loan and on examination reveal-
ed that he had no garden, no chickens,
no hogs, no cows, nor any other "side-
line" products, or "pot boilers," I
would refuse the loan, giving as my
treason that he had failed to ^"utilize
his opportunities and had lost sight
of the primary purpose of his bus-
iness.

SENIOR CLASS ENTERTAINS
The Senior Class was represented
in assembly Wednesday morning by
a piano solo played by Jewel Lane,
and a one-act play, "The Finger of
God," featuring Fulton Lothridge,
Burhl Faubion and Sibyl Adams. Ful-
ton, as Strickland, the reformed crook,
did some excellent acting. Burhl, in
the double role of butler and crook,
did credit to himself. Sibyl, the girl
from the office, exactly fitted the part
and is a superb actress.
Mr. Williams, stage director and
business manager, used excellent
judgment in the selection of charac-
ters, therefore the play was a suc-
cess.
The play will be presented again
next Tuesday afternoon before the P.-

LIBRARY "42" PARTY
BODY OF J. C. CROCKETT FOUND
ON EDGE OF PALACIOS
RIVER SUNDAY
A Newspaperman
Wrote "Graft," at
Colonial, Saturday
It took a newspaper man to write
the stry of "Graft," Universale stir-
ring newspaper drama which comes
to the Colonial theatre, Bay City, Sat-
urday, with a cast headed by Regis
Toomey, Sue Carrol, Dorothy Revier
and Boris Karloff.
Barry Barringer is the man, with
ten years' experience as a reporter
on various important newspapers of
the country, including the Chicago
Tribune, Savannah Press, Chattanoo-
ga Times and Jacksonville Times-
Union. While with the latter paper
Barringer began to w'rite one and
two-reel stories for the Selig, Kalem
and Lubin companies, which were then
producing in Jacksonville. Afterward
he joined the Williamson Brothers and
remained with them for three years,
being in charge of underwriter opera-
tions on such pictures as' "20,000
Leagues Under the Sea," "The Sub-
marine Eye" and "Wet Gold." Later
he perfected a diving bell apparatus
of his own, filming "under-water stuff"
for several pictures.
After two years at Paramount as
assistant to Director James C,ru7,e,
Barringer entered the production of
independent pictures, and wrote and
directed 18 five-reel productions.
"Graft" tells an exciting stroy of
a cub reporter who matches wits with
the crooked politicians of a great city,
in a desperate effort to solve a mur-
der case and "swing" a mayorality
election.
Co. Federation; Red
Cross Receive Aid
Miss Belle Williamson was down
from Houston for the week end, vis-
iting her mother, Mrs. George Wil-
liamson.
On Tuesday of this week Mr. E. O.
Taulbee, who is assisting tha Red
Cross and federated charities of the
county, received two checks each for
$250, from the Texas Gulf Sulphur
Company as an aid to the work in
this county.
The checks were sent in by Mr.
Roy Miller, director of public relations
Texas Gulf Sulphur Company with
the request that they be delivered,
one to the Red Cross and the other to
the Matagorda County Federation of
Women's Clubs,
Mr. Taulbee immediately turned the
checks over to the orders mentioned.
—Bay City Tribune,
The "42" part at the Library last
Thursday evening was a very enjoy-
able affair. The Hallowe'en season
was stressed in decorations, and tally
cards, with a canny looking witch
greeting the guests as they entered.
The entertaining committee, Mrs.
Aubin, Mrs. Faubion, Miss Bussell
and Miss Holliday, are to be commend-
ed for their efforts in making the af-
fair so pleasing.
On last Sunday the body of J. C. At the close of a number of games
Crockett, a negro who had been pick- refreshments were served, and scores
ing cotton near Simpsonville, was counted. Mrs. Salsbury and Mrs.
found in the weeds and grass on the Worden tied, each having won nine
east side of the Tres-Palacios river,, games. At the previous party, Mrs
about 300 yeards down from the draw , Worden, Mr. Hilbert and Mr. Brandon
bridge. The discovery was made by J each won eight games. Another party
Ilemy Biawley, his wife, Verdie is being arranged, waMi for the date.
Brawley and their son, Henry. |
Officers here were notified and W.
H. Williams held an inquest, the re-
sult of which was that the negro had
been killed by the blow of an ax.
A number of arrests were made,
among them was one Daniel Roberts,
who, with another negro, was brought
over here by Deputy Sheriff B. E.
Sailor and placed in jail until Monday
morning when they were taken to Bay
City. Roberts was then taken to
Wharton, where he made a full con-
fession.
The killing took place early Satur-
day morning in a cotton patch and
the body thrown over the fence just
a short distance from where cotton
was weighed during the day. That
night Roberts carried his victim to
the river, where it was found Sunday.

'SHARKS" BATTLE WHARTON
"TIGERS;" BUT LOSE, 12 TO
E. G. Frame, proprietor of the Ideal
Grocery Store, collapsed in his store
Saturday afternoon and his condition
was considered very serious for a few
days. He is now very much improv-
ed, we arc glad to report, and he is
hoping to be able to be back at his
business within a short time.
Dr. and Mrs. J. R. Wagner return-
ed Tuesday noon from their vacation
trip, via the auto route, having visit-
ed in eight different states, as far
east as Florida and north to Kansas
City. They report finding gasoline the
cheapest in Texas and where it was
the highest was where they found
the finest roads. The gasoline tax
surely helps to make the good high-
ways and the tourist helps to pay for
them.
Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Cool, of Hous-
ton, stopped over here Sunday for a
visit with their mother and sisters,
Mrs. Cool, Mrs. Cheshire and Mrs.
Redman and family. They were re-
turning from a trip to the Valley.
Due to the apparent shortage of
money to be had for financing crops
for Texas farmers in 1932, and the
new cropping system that will have
to be worked out in considering a
thirty per cent reduction in cotton
acreage, "a time for council is ap-
(Sefc "FARM NOTES", Page 3)
Rev, and Mrs. A. L. Haley, of Bay
City, spent from Monday uritil~Wed-
nesday evening here. Mr. Haley has
just about recovered from his recent
illness and was able to preach both
morning and evening at the Christian
Church in Bay City last Sunday. He
will be here next Tuesday, Nov. 3,
and will preach that evening at the
First Christian Church, using for his
subject, "What Meaneth the Lowing
oi the Cattle and the Bleating of the
Sheep." Services will begin at 7:30
and everybody is invited.
Master D. C. DuBolse, who is here
visiting with his grand mother, Mrs.
H. C. Boyd, had the pleasure of cele-
brating his birthday Wednesday after-
noon. He was five years old on that
day, and he had five of his little boy
friends to come and enjoy games with
him and then they were served with
refreshments, including a beautiful
birthday cake, bearing five candles.
The little folks had a most wonderful
time and Master D. C. will often think
of the birthday party he had at Grand-
ma's house.
The Palacios "Sharks" engaged the
Wharton "Tigers" Friday afternoon.
The Tigers have been undefeated by
a high school team and had not had
their goal line crossed until last Fri-
day.
Captain Curtis received the kick-off
and Palacios scored before Wharton
was awake. The first play was a lay-
out by Clifford Breeding which gained
thirty yards. Nelson and Curtis
plunged the line for three first downs
and Curtis caught a lateral pass for
a nineteen yard run for a touch-down.
Charlie Johnson, on left end and
Buddie Breeding on right guard, got
many tackles. Bashaw, right tackle,
made several beautiful tackles. Price
Barnett, at left tackle and center did
some wonderful playing. Dean Ta-
ber's passing was superior and prac-
tically all were completed. Dale Ta-
ber got off some good punts; the line
held good and none of them were
blocked.
Nelson, half-back, intercepted two
of Wharton's passes. Wharton scored
in the first quarter and Palacios held
them by a score of 7 to 6 until four
minutes from the end of the game when
Wharton scored again, making the
final score 12 to 7.
The Sharks overhaul Richmond high
here Friday October 30, beginning at
4 p. m.
The probable starting line-up will
be as follows;—
Left End—Fred Barrett.
Left Tackle—Price Barnett.
Left Guard—Burhl Faubion.
Center—Dale Taber.
Right Guard—Buddie Breeding.
Right Tackle—Lester Bashaw.
Right End—Joe Rush.
Half-Back—Charlie Johnson.
Half-Back—Wallace Curtis.
Full-Back—Powell Nelson.
Quarter-Back—Dean Taber.
II there is any school spirit in the
town, show it by attending the game
Friday. Moral support and the back-
ing of the town is all the boys need
to become the best football team in the
county. Come out Friday and show
the boys that you are at least 35 cents
interested in them.

Sparkling Nancy
Has Fitting Role
in 'Personal Maid'
Nancy Carroll, in the title role of
the Queen theatre feature Wednesday
and Thursday Nov. the 4th and 5th,
"Personal Maid," has a part which
lends itself readily to her sparkling
personality. The picture, made from
the best-seller novel by Grace Per-
kins, was directed by Monta Bell with
a well-known cast of stage and screen
favorites supporting Miss Carroll.
"Personal Maid" portrays the ex-
periences of a pretty maid in a home
of wealth, and her adventures when
she masquerades as "a lady" herself.
Dissatisfied with her environment.
Nora Ryan decides to leave her East
Side tenement home and shift for her-
self. She becomes an efficient per-
sonal maid, but finds the job calls for
many odd duties which only her own
quickness and intelligence can help
her discharge.
She is sent to coax the wayward,
college-boy son of the family to be
good, and falls in love with him. She
attracts the attention of a self-made
business friend of the family, and is
disillusioned. Then she takes a fling
at being "a lady" in a fashionable
Flordia resort, hires a personal maid
of her own, and is having a grand time
when called back to earth and ro-
mance.
The cast includes Pat O'Brian, well-
known on the Broadway stage, and
the young Gene Raymond. George
Fawcett has an interesting character
role, and so has Mary Boland.

Our report of Mr. and Mrs. J. K.
Paulk's wedding anniversary a few
weeks ago is bringing to notice the
length of years some of our other citi-
zens have made the journey through
life together and this week we have

VOL. FIRE DEPARTMENT
CALLED TO EXTINGUISH
GRASS FIRE ON EAST BAY
The burning of some trash and
grass came nearing being a disastrous
fire for some people who live out on
the east bay shore road, Wednesday.
Mr. M. Engle was trying to get rid of
some of the dried grass, etc., around
his place by burning it, and every,
thing being so dry the blaze spread
and was soon beyond his control,
sweeping through his orchards and
nearing his residence, the Nester cot-
tage and other places nearby. The
fire truck and some of the boys were
called into service and did some very
effective work by getting the fire put
out before any serious damage was
done.
Girl Reserves Have
Public Installation
John D. Bowden, proprietor of the
Crescent Drug Store, showed the Bea-
con reporter a card this week he had
just received from Col. H. H. Carmi-
chael, who is in Washington, D. C.,
for a few days on a business mission,
telling of his visiting with Mr. Bow-
den's daughter, Miss Lucile, who has
been there with her grand mother
the past year and more attending
school. Miss Lucile had the pleasure
of visiting Niagara Falls and places
of interest in Canada during the sum-
mer vacation. She is enjoying life
in the capital city very much and
writes of the interesting people she
meets, wonderful things she sees and
grand affairs she witnesses and of-
ten has the pleasure of taking part in.
On last Thursday evening the au-
ditorium of the high school was an
attractive setting for the beautiful
service of'Girl Reserves' installation
of officers. The stage was decorated
in streamers of blue and white, the
colors of the order with the Ameri-
can flag as the center.
Mothers and friends were there as
guests and prior to the installation
service were entertained by the girls
singing a number of their songs.
The service opened with the reces-
sional "Father of Light," Jewel Lane
at the piano.
This was'followed by all the girls
singing, "Candles Are Burning."
The scripture reading was "The
Parable of the Talents," from Matt.
25, 14-30, splendidly done by Marion
Nester.
"Meaning of the Installation," was
given by Mrs. G. A. Salsbury, presi-
dent of the G. R. Council.
The outgoing and incoming officers
were seated on the stage in a form
of a triangle, and those retiring gave
over their places to the new ones by
lighting their candles with the ones
they held.
The prayer was given by Dorothy
Lee Curtis, and the work closed with
the recessional, "Follow fhe Gleam,"
when all marched off the stage.
All who saw the work were deeply
impressed and are glad Palacios has a
Girl Reserves organization and a lead-
er like Miss Margaret Hunter.
Mrs. Ted Fields and Mr. and Mrs.
L. M. Slone left early Tuesday morn-
ing for Tyler, in response to a mes-
sage notifying them of the serious ill-
ness of their sister, Mrs. Leonard
Smith. They found Mrs. Smith much
improved we are pleased to report, and
her relatives here trust she will make
a speedy recovery.
Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Martin left this
week for their home in Parnpa, after
a six week's visit here with Mr. and
Mrs. O. E. Sailot- and Mr. and Mrs.
B. E. Sailor. They enjoyed a num-
ber of successful fishing trips and
were so favorably increased with our
city they expect to return here for
man more visits an pleasure trips.
The Faculty Club met Monday night
with Miss Elizabeth Sisson. Cansield
furnished diversion until a late hour
when refreshments were served by the
entertaining committee.
Mr. and Mrs. M. K. Feather, Mrs
C. W. Nester and Mrs. T, H. Hood
went up to Houston Tuesday. The
ladies are attending the State O. E. S
Convention, Mrs. Hood being a dele-
gate from the local Chapter.
Mrs. C.E. Chamblee and Miss Claire
Hansen were joint hostesses at a six
table bridge party, given Tuesday nite
at the home of the latter. The decora-
tive scheme was carried out in colors
appropriate to the season, the same
being repeated in favors, score pads
and refreshments.
The Palacios Hotel
By DR. T. F. DRISKILL
Now here comes a suggestion from
a distant city that, "your Chamber of
Commerce should push your hotel pro-
position." Man alive! the Chamber
of Commerce is a unit on this enter-
prise, and as I looked over my shoul-
der what should I see stuck up in a
conspicuous place, a large card that
reads, "Member of Chamber of Com-
merce." The next man I met I ask-
ed him if he was a member of "our
Chamber of Commerce," and he re-
plied, he was sorry to say he was not,
but something embarrassing might
crop out, I only replied, "all of us
ought be a member." Then he kind-
ly replied, "I guess so." Now boys,
let's be loyal, if you can't be a whole
member and chip in the "widow's
mite" or perhaps a half member, do
the best you can.
Right before me is a fine letter
from a distant Texas city in which
the writer says, "we hope Palacios
will soon have the new hotel." Then
Blue Eyes in Farm and Ranch in last
week's issue slipped in something like
a $250.00 ad about Palacios, her good
roads, her Army Camp, her fish and
oyster industry, and a lot of fine
stuff. No,w Blue Eyes lives just a
little way out, but she knows a good
city and a whole lot more. Then in-
cidentally, I have heard that a lady
of our city put some good stuff in a
northern paper or journal about Pa-
lacios. Now ladies and gentlemen, do
not be afraid to do as Blue Eyes and
the other good lady did. If you are
writing for some outside paper, tell
the people about our good things and
especially about our wonderful) climate.
Keep the Palacios Hotel to the front

into the modern move of consolidat-
