VOLUME 10
The following article was written
by J L Lester vocational
agriculture teacher of the Pampa
High School nftor making n tour
over the South Plains to study
the diversified farming method
practiced by the farmors of that
section so that he might take
some of their ideas back to hh
own people on the North Plains
Wo will not take time to reprint
what he says of the other towns
but will reprint what ho has to
say regarding Tulia
I stopped at Tulia both on my
way down and back Here I inquired
paticularly about the yield
of wheat per acre and the causes
of tlie variation In yield It an
I was Informed that the farmers
who practiced summer fallowing
tilling produced anywhere from
twenty to twentyfive bushels per
acre Those who did not summer
fallow till produced around from
five to ten bushels per aero
In answer to my Inquiry about
the cause for this difference In
yield the answer was that It was
due to sumer fallowing and a
thoroughly prepared seed bed I
was Informed that the farmer who
made a practice of summer fallowing
had his soil In the very
best state of tilt That ho was
ready to sow early and get a good
stand That almost all the sum
mor fallowed land together with
the early prepared land after harvest
was planted early and a good
stand was had That the thoroughly
prepared soil was not infested
with volunteer wheat weeds etc
Several farmers remarked to
mo that they made a practice of
planting cotton upon the different
parts of their land every four
years Not for the cotton that the
land would produce nor the in
cbme derived from tho sale of
same as for the benefit to their
wheat crops the three succeeding
years

CLENN1N MOTOR CO EMPLOYEES
ENJOY OUTING
The Clennin Motor Company
employees enjoyed a real outing
on tho Fourth of July Almost
tho full force attended tho second
annual celebration of tho Clennin
Motor Co picnic at the Palisades
in the Palo Duro canyon J R
Cullum tho president has inaugurated
it as an annual affair tor
all tho employees and their families
as well as the company to
meet in a getlogethcr all day
holiday outing
It was also a Cullum reunion as
there were twelve of that family
there Such quantities of good
things to eat fried chicken ham
roast and all the eats tha go with
the meats and even had a truckload
of iced cold watermelons ice
cream lemonade soda pop cigars
for tho men chewing gum for
the women and alldaysuckers
for tho kiddies the little ones
enjoyed it the most with swings
and shallow water and sandbanks
to dig caves to roll down
Quite a number went tho night
before with camp outfit and cooked
breakfast on the camp fire
It was a treat that so few have
to sleep with the stars blinking
overhead and tho cool night
breeze sighing and to hear the
birds at daybreak chirp praises to
their Maker to hear the dove
coo to its mate and to hear tho
mockingbird pour out its melody
to its loved one on hernest
The Culluum Motor Co and
employees have bought a lot
that has large trees and a water
pond with white sand beach and
they plan to begin right soon to
build a club house and put a dam
that will give them their own individual
pool and they will then
have an ideal recreational ground
for their week end outings
I cant half way describe ho
grandeur and beauty of The Palisades
Nature in early times had
marvelous treasures that she did
not want to be exposed to the
sun and wind of the Plains no
she made a big gash in Mother
Eartli and stored them in it foi
man to go and enjoy when he is
tired of toil and caro and now
tho place is called The PalisadesWe dont havo to go to the
mountains to see wonderful cliffs
and canyons we have them near
our door the Canyon Drive gives
a thrill all its own the big trees
bees of wild flowers varied clor
ed rocks nnd the stream of cleai
water and almost tropical shrubs
and flowers make It truly wonderfulThe Palisades is Amarillo
play ground and man and money
havo added conveniences in making
good roads bath houses plncts
where refreshments of all klndfe
can be bought Hundreds of automobiles
brought out crowds to
enjoy the bathing in the dec
pool mado of puting a concrete
dam across an arm of the stream
Big nativo trees shado tho sandy
beaohes In the afternoon there
wore contests boat races and the
final stunt was a pic for all race
to get a duck that was turned
loose in the middle of the lau
Quito a number of cottages hn i
been built many lots sold u

INSTITUTION
For tho first time in the history
of Tulia a bank statement
shows total resources of more
than n million dollars You will
note from looking at th e statement
of tho First National Bank
in this issue that this Is true
You will also obsorvo that tho
Tulia Bank Trust Company is
nbt far behind with total resources
of more than a half mil
Hon and that the combined deposits
total more than a million
and a quarter
Not so bad when it is truo that
we have had severe drouth this
spring and much of the row crops
are extremely late and possibly
Borne will not bo planted at all
Scattering rains are beginning to
fall over the drouth stricken region
and it is possible with a late
freeze that much grain can bi
matured yet and very probable
that an abundance of roughage
will bo produced to winter the
stock
Tho Plains country is in fur
better condition than many prta
of the country as a wholo and as
is usually tho case is far better
than was feared a few weeks ago
Farmers are in better financial
condition than for many years
Our two banks are institutions
of which wo should bo very proud
and are headed by oficera who are
accommodating business like nnd
gontlemnnly They have been Indispensable
in handling the big
wheat crop of this community

CountyB wheat crop Is practically

Elevator men estimate tho yield

per cent of last years bumper
crop but since tho prico hi hotter
tills year than last tho money crop

years total There wih practically
no congestion In the movement
of the crop duo principally to better

AN APOLOGY
I wonder If I should happen to
try
To weave a few thoughts Into
song
Would sonio friend Just any in a
sorrowful way
Tho looms of his brain havo
gono wrong
Ivo road with delight on many a
night
What others have put Into
rhymo
And hoped that oomo day I too
might
assay
To sot words to music nnd time
Pre no right to claim chances for
fame
In building of motor nnd verse
Im pleasing mynolf without hopo
of poll
Or filling with monoy my purse
1 love all mankind and wish but
to find
Some way to help others along
I want every day without any
pay
To ill some sad heart with a
song
So friend if yon see some brief
verso from me
That helps you along the rough
ways
Just keep up the song and pass
it along
Twill gladden and brighten my
days
C L Sone
JUST A RHYME
OLD SONGS
Ive nothing new to offer you
On Faith and Hopo and Love
And no new theme or novel
scheme
Religious creeds to prove
My saluted sire sang of the lire
That burned within his bioast
Of God and Love and Heaven
above
And his eternal rest
And then again the sweet sweet
strains
We heaid at mothers knee
Would soothe our grief and bring
relief
And bid our norrows flee
And as we heard our hearts were
stirred
And caused our prayer to be
God let us give our best to live
A life from en or free
