FEED CROPS.
The Agricultural and Me-
chanical College of Texas, the
United States Department of
Agriculture, the Texas Bank-
ers' association and the Texas
Industrial Congress are advo-
cating the planting of feed
crops—s a f e farming—better
farming. These institutions
are working unselfishly. The
men in charge of all of them
have no selfish interests to
serve.
At the present time they are
working as they have never
worked before to convince the
Texas farmer that salvation
for the State depends upon
feed crops.
Now it is possible that all of
these men who are affiliated
with all of these public institu-
tions are unnecessarily alarmed.
It is possible that in spite of
the fact that every article of
food is selling at double the
price of a few years ago, there
is plenty food for the whole
world.
It is possible that the little
farmers of Texas, many of
whom are planting cotton ex-
clusively this year—know more
about food conditions than the
government bureaus and Texas
bankers in the bankers' associ-
ation.
It is possible, but no farmer
with an ounce of common sense
'Is going to believe that it is.
Every farmer who knows on
which side his bread is but-
tered, is going to plant feed
crops, feed for the horses, the
chickens, the pigs and the cattle
—also feed for the family.
The world ca\n get along for
a while without any cotton, if
needs be. Every human being,
however, needs a certain
amount of food every day in
the year.
Let the farmer be prepared.
Let him awake fully to a reali-
zation of the fact that food will
be higher in a short time than
it has ever been in Texas since
the war in 'Gl-'Ofi.
This is one kind of prepared-
ness which should begin on the
farm.
today. Yet it is
water that was declared, impure
last summer, and there is no
reason to think it contains any
fewer germs, yet we calmly
proceed to drink it, and never
think of worrying over the
prospect of typhoid until some
death from typhoid awakes us
from our lethargy, and when it
is too late for those whose
loved ones have paid the penal-
ty we endeavor to take some
steps towards purifying our
water and taking other sanitary
precautions.
Many authorities claim that
water meters help to cause ty-
phoid, because of the fact that

The Beason is near at hand
when the dread typhoid fever
scourge puts in an appearance
in many communities, causing
untold sickness, sorrow and
suffering with many preventa-
ble deaths. Typhoid is prima
rily a disease of filth, and orig-
Intea from wholly preventable
causes. A community that is
thoroughly clean and sanitary
need not fear an epidemic of
typhoid, for the germ only lives
and multiplies in dirty sur-
roundings.
An impure water supply is a
prolific cause of typhoid. Last
summer when Brenham was
visited by an epidemic of the
dread disease, with its quota of
wholly preventable deaths, the
local water supply was exam-
ined and pronounced unfit for
drinking purposes by govern-
ment experts. While the ex-
citement regarding the fever
situation was at its height, wa
ter for drinking purposes was
boiled in many homes, and oth
taken. Also the
of improving the wa-
was agitated freely,
