EXPLANATION MADE
OF NEW HOMESTEAD
LAWS FOR TEXANS
WILL FREE 585,270 HOMES OF
PROPERTY TAXATION IF
MEASURE PASSES
SUCCESSFUL EAST, CENTRAL
TEXAS FARMERS BOOST
OTHER IMPROVEMENTS
Hie brilliant success of hundreds
of East and Central Texas farmers
with Improved permanent pastures
the last few years leads to the pre-
diction by R. H. Bush, special agent
in the A. and M. College Extension
Service, that the number of farm-
ers beginning pasture improvement
this fall will break all records. Re-
turns as high as $50 per acre have
been made on pastures in the East
Texas Permanent Pasture Contest
this year, from rich grazing furn-
ished dairy and beef cattle, work
stock, sheep and hogs, he says.
County agent records show that
45,000 acres of permanent pastures
yielded 3040 farmers an average of
more than $5 per acre In 1931, and
this value is expected to show an
increase In 1932. Some of the best
pastures are carrying two to three
head of mature stock per acre with
little additional feed required.
"October is the best month to be-
gin improvements," says Mr. Bush.
“Waste creek lands make a good
spot to begin, although there are
many cases of good upland pas-
tures. Improvements may include
clearing away underbrush, fencing,
mowing weeds, terracing, draining,
and always sowing a variety of
fine pasture grasses and clovers.
Dallis grass has been found good
throughout the entire East, South
and Central Texas territory as a
supplement to Bermuda grass. Res-
cue grass is commonly sowed and
often Italian rye grass. Carpet
grass Is succeeding In many places.
Among the legumes most commonly
sown are the yellow and white
sweet clovers, lespedeza and black
medic. County agents are ready to
help farmers get started on pasture
Improvement."

MAGIC CITY TEAM
GETS N. R. A. CHARTER
The Magic City Rifle Club, of
Shamrock, Tex., has been issued a
charter by the National Rifle As-
sociation, according to announce-
ment made this week at the head-
quarters of the association In Wash-
ington, D. C.
The officers of the new club are
A. H. Engle, president; T. C. Har-
less, vice-president; Guy McBur-
nett,, secretary-treasurer, and E. C.
Smith, executive officer, all of
Magic City.
The club Is one of about 2800
active rifle shooting clubs affiliated
with the National Rifle Association.
Texas will free 565,270 homes
from property taxation (up to
$3,000 value) If a proposed amend-
ment to the state constitution is
adopted at the November 8th gen-
eral election.
As that number Is more than
half the total number of votes ever
east in a Texas election, it is prac.
ticaiiy a foregone conclusion the
amendment will be adopted.
The figures arc approximate.
Questionnaires now ore out asking
for accurate figures from each of
the 254 counties in the state on
the number of homesteads that will
he affected by the proposed amend-
ment. The figures used are taken
from federal census reports. They
Include 190,515 farms In Texas op-
erated by the owners.
Some persons own and operate
more than one farm but it is es-
timated that the duplications oc-
curring for that reason are offset
by excluding all of two other farm
few of these
■within the tax-
exempted class.
There are 301,660 farms listed In
Texas as operated by tenants. A
’number of these, however, may fall
within the bOMMtead classification
ai actual residence ' not always a
requisite to proper!' being a home-
stead. There are also 3,314 farms
operated by farm corporations with
managers In charge
In cities and towns there are
1,902 families living In rented
homes, according to the 1930 cen-
sus.
Homestead owners whose homes
are assessed at not over $3,000
valuation will escape all state ’ ad
valorem tax on them. As the av-
erage valuation for tax purposes is
fifty per cent in practice It will
mean a man with a $6,000 home
*'l'l escape state advalorem tax
upon it.
If the home Is assessed at $4,000
he will pay state advalorem tax on
only $1,000.
How many homes and farms with
a valuation under $.4,000 is also a
matter of estimate. Again using
census figures as a basis for an
estimate, the probable number is
294,238
Prosent tax exemption in Texas
Is carried In a proviso to Section
°ne of Article VHI of the State
Constitution, This says: "Provided
that $250 worth of household and
kitchen furniture, belonging to each
family m this state shall be exempt
from taxation.”
The proposed amendment, if a-
dopted, will write flection 1-a into
this article of the constitution say-
ing;
"Three thousand dollars of the
assessed taxable value of all resi-
dence homesteads as now defined
by law shall be exempt from all
taxation for state purposes: nothing
herein shall apply within those
counties or other political subdivi-
sions now receiving any remission
of state taxes, but upon the expira-
tion of such period of remission
this section shall become applica-
ble within such counties and polit-
ical subdivisions.” 0
A homestead in Texas not in a
town or city consists of not more
than 200 acres of land with the
Improvements. The land may be
one or more parcels.
The homestead In a city, town or
village consists of a lot or lots not
to exceed $5 000 value at the time
of their designation as the home-
stead, without reference to the
value of the improvements; pro
vided that the same shall be used
for the pur)loses of a home, or as
a Place to • xerclse the calling or
business of the head of the family,
provided, also, that any temporary
renting of the homestead shall not
change it as a homestead when no
other homestead Is acquired.
Courts have held that no formel
steps anc necessary to "designs'
tion" of a homestead, the Intent to
make it such being the governing
fact.

| CORNRTALK BORER IS
AT WORK IN DONLEY
The southwestern cornstalk borer
1« at work in Donley and also In
other parts of the Panhandle, an
Hem in the Donley County Leader
states. Corn falling down drew the
attention of farmers and county
agent who pronounced the pest
had entered that section. The bore*
was first noticed in this country in
Hartley county In 1924 and has
aproad rapidly.
Texas is not confronted with the
necessity of a “back-to-the-farm"
movement such as is being recog-
nized in some other states.
An analysis of the state's popula-
tion, just completed by the United
States Department of Commerce,
shows 59 per cent of the state’s
population still live on farms or in
villages of less than 2.500.
Of the 59 per cent classified as
rural population, 40.2 per cent ac-
utally live on farms, and the other
18.8 per cent in towns of less than
2,500 population.
The state's total population In
1930 was 5,824,715, as compared to
4,663,228 in 1920, or an Increase of
24.9 J>er cent. Of the nearly six
million, 41 per cent live In towns
of 2.500 or more.
The state's five largest cities have
an aggregate population of 1,050,237
or 18 per cent of the total. An
additional 456,631 live in 11 cities
between 25,000 and 100,000, and
292,594 live in 20 cities of from
10.000 to 25,000.
Neither does the analysis reveal
any decided movement city-ward at
present. In the rural communities,
youths from five to 24 years of age
comprise 28.6 per cent of the total
population, while In the cities theyj
represent 3\ per cent, whloh Is not
a substantial difference.
The state made an appreciable
gain In education in th“ decade
ending In 1930. In 1920, the illlter-,
ate population among males over 21 j
years of age was 9.6 per cent, and,
among females 9.7 per cant. In
1930, the percentage of Illiteracy
among males over 21 had decreased |
to 7.8 per cent, and among females
8.0 per cent.
The Inclination to marry is in-
creasing in Texas, the report show-
ed. In 1920, 58.8 per cent of the
persons of 15 years or older were
married, while In 1930. 61-3 per
cent were married. The percentage
of single persons over 15 dropped
from 35.3 per cent to 32.6 per cent,
while the percentage of widowed
dropped from 4.8 to 4.6 per cent.

NOT ONLY WILUNG
TO SERVE YOU
HE KNOWS
HOW!
Willingness to serve doesn’t come
through training; ability docs. So Con-
oco chooses as station salesmen men
who want to serve... who like it... and
trains them to be experts.
When 3 Conoco man fills your gas
tank or supplies oil, he gives you ex-
actly the amount you want. There’s no
splashing, no muss.
He gauges the air in your tires accu-
rately and supplies the proper pressure
to each, including spares. He cleans your
windshield spotlessly. He fills your
radiator without splashing.
The Conoco man’s information serv-
ice is just as expert as these things he
does with his hands. Ask him about
roads, mileage, hotels, camps, sports,
places to buy supplies. He is ready with
accurate information on these and many
other subjects. He keeps his station rest
rooms clean and his station inviting. He
checks parcels and cares for mail and
telegrams. Everything he does for you is
done cheerfully, expertly. He wants to
make your stop at his station a pleasure
for you... and he knows how!
