Needs Of The
Plains Discussed
At a meeting of the District
hamlor of Commerce of the
North Panhandle recently many
good addresses were made hy lend
lug men ot this great territory
on what they think would best
benefit the growth of this fertile
region Among these was ono by
a leading citizen of Guymon Oklahoma
just over the Texas line
This nddress was given by Mayor
I M Lightnorof that city and is
its follows
Wo drive in an hour from Guy
mon to Spearman It is the same
air the same sunshine the same
soil the samo vast Holds of wav
ing wheat Our physical problems
are alike Our automobile crosses
the state line easily and we are
Unconscious that it is there Hut
then railroads hnvc a hard time
at this crossing and that causes
the wheat buyers to pay 10 cents
a bushel less on one side than on
the other The freight rate makes
Jhc difference Hero is a fertile
flBipld for tho West Texas Chamber
of Commerce to work
Wo raise a largo part of the
broom corn of the United Stales
bnt where aro our broom factories
We ship trainloads ot feed for
chickens westward 1000 miles to
California and tho eggs that this
feed helps to produce are shipped
TI7OOO miles eastward to New York
City Where are our own poultry
products We have great dairy
herds and grow endlessly in this
industry but we have no condens
eries or factories to convert the
milk products into nonperishable
commodities Our beef cattle supply
a great part of tho United
States with meat but we have no
packing plants We are the center
5fone of Americas major wheat
bolts with an acre yield greater
jmn any other place in the world
ut we make little flour Our natural
gas is piped in every direction
as far as 500 miles to turn
tho wheels of industry in many
Vge cities from which we get
10 community benefit And if this
gas is not conserved we ourselves
will be burning coal again sooner
than we think

PROGRESSIVE FARMER
RAISES PINE YAMS
Mr John Fincko who lives on
his faun a few miles northwest of
town presented this office a fine
snmple of sweet potatoes which
he raised in his home garden
Some were extra largo and he
informs us that they wore very
prolific yielding almost a hnV peck
per hill Mr Fincko is one of our
diversification farmers raising he
sides a variety of crops all kinds
of fruits and vegetables He has
demonstrated the fact that one
can make a good living and some
surplus money on a small farm
if it is handled right
o
Much Cotton Still
Left In Field
There nro probably from 500 to
700 bales of cotton open in the
fields in Swisher county that
have not been picked Tho farmers
have been so busy harvesting
their feed crop that they have not
boon able to get the cotton out
and there has been a severe short
ago of pickers here Cotton is becoming
popular again in this
county more cotton will bo ginned
this year than in some time Many
say they will make from 30 to
15 per acre from their cotton
crop Cotton goes along with diversification
If the farms wore
smaller and each man gave sonic
acveago to wheat to cotton and
to feed many would be more prosperous
If the land owners would
cut their land up in smaller acreage
put fair improvements on
them and sell them out in reasonable
terms the land owner as
well as Others would be more pros
porous We hear the word diversification
every day and tho landowners
all over the country continue
to hold to a one crop system
and they say they are not
making one per cent on their investment
As long as the one
crop tenant system remains they
will never realize anything to
speak of on their investment It
is not the country

CHILDHOOD AND
YOUTH WEEK
The local Methodist church will
observe Childhood and Youth
Week Partly thru their lack of
efficient church facilities in the
past many of the mothers and
fathers of this particular church
have drifted away from the Sunday
school and hours of public
worship With them have gone
their children and young people
A survey of the Methodist situation
last Fall revealed the fact
that there wore from 25 to 30 percent
of the people who were not
attnding services of the church
of any kind Tho Sunday school
since individual rooms have been
provided and congested conditions
relieved has leaped up from 120
to past 150 Hut even at this
many members are still out havo
never como or returned We aro
out after our own and are now
prepared to take enro of then
Tho purpose of this week may
not be thoroughly understood and
here we give
THE PURPOSE OF THE CHILDHOOD
