A few years ago an East Texas
fanner gathered his peaches, loaded
them into a Vflruck and drove to
town. He was offered and accepted
75 cents per bushel. This fanner had
100 bushels all told. He received $75
for them. The merchant who pur-
chased them carefully graded the
fruit as it was brought in, and sold
40 bushels of the best at $1.20 per
bushel, 45 bushels for $1 per bushel,
10 bushels for 50 cents each, aind
carried home 5 bushels for canning
and preserving. Ho sold 95 bushels
for a total of $110, or at a profit of
$35, and he had enough preserves,
canned peaches and jellies to last
his family a full year. He told the
editor that he woud gladly hav© paid
the producer $1.25 per bushel for his
best peaches with other grades ac-
cordingly had they been delivered
properly selected as to size, color
and condition.
The price of ©very commodity is
influenced to a very large degree by
the lack of proper grading. It pays
to market the best first, accepting
lower prices for seconds and it is al-
ways profitable to keep the culls at
home. The public demands, and is
willing to pay for quality, but a few
undersized and poor quality peaches,
plums or potatoes give a bad name
to the entire lot. A few good ones
will not raise the price, but a few
poor ones will lower it.—Farm and

IT DEPENDS ON WHOSE BULL
IS GORED
Washington dispatches dated May
30 and carrying report of President
Hoover’s address before the United
States Chamber of Commerce said,
among other things:
“The U. S. Chamber of Com-
merce declared war on the Hoov-
er-Legge farm board’s policy of
dealing in. farm products as un-
fair competition with private busi-
ness. Repeal of the board’s author-
ity to use federal money to finance
co-operatives and carry on stabili-
sing operations was demanded in
a resolution adopted.”
That is what one would expect of
most of the "big business” repre-
sented by the membership of the U.
S. Chamber of Commerce. It is all
right for Uncle Sam to subsidize
steamships and railways to the prof-
it of private groups in the big busi-
ness circles. It is all right for him
to use tariff discriminations and un-
conscionably high schedules by which
to build up the “infant industries” of
this country, most of which belong
to the big business category. But
when Uncle Sam proposes to do
something for the farming class, the
class that he has neglected until
that status of agriculture has be-
come the most serious economic and
social problem of the country, why
then “Big Business” lets out a howl
like a small boy with hornets in his
pants.
Why Uncle Sam has been print-
ing “Government Envelopes” for
many years and selling them at a
price that has robbed all the private
print shops of the country of one
of their best sources of profits. More
than that, when .the printers sought
relief by pointing out to Uncle Sam
that he was interfering with private
business, these representatives of big
business came to Washington with
their lobby — and the job printers
of the country were told to "go
hang.” And even more than that:
When, during the World War period,
it was shown to Uncle Sam that the
concern he had employed to print
these envelopes had gone busted on
its own contract by virtue of the
advance in paper and labor cost —
gone busted, if you please, because
Uncle Sam was getting the envel-
opes below production cost and sell-
ing them the same way, why rep-
resentatives of big bu5(noss had
Uncle Sam appropriate untold sums
of money to rehabilitate the busted
plant, and also to pay postal de-
ficits that the free transportation of
these jobs has brought about.
We don’t believe in Uncle Sam
entering into competition with pri-
vate business either but, I hec, if
there is any group in this land who
heed and are entitled to a little fos-
tering care and protection from
Uncle Sam, the farmers are entitled
to that consideration. Stay right in
there, Mr. Hoover — you and Mr.
Trfgff* and his Federal Farm Board
—stay right in there and pitch. Let’s
give American farmers one inning
at least.

EAST TEXAS
CORN CROPS
Vocational Agricultural students
and 4-H club boys have frequently
demonstrated that it is possible to
produce from 75 to more than 100
bushels of corn per acre in East
Texas. They have been able to se-
cure these large yields because they
first selected soil suitable for the
crop; they prepared a good seed
bed, planted good seed and properly
fertilized. Seventy-five bushels of
corn per acre means gross returns
of $75 per acre most years. While
these boys gave more attention to
their two acre plots than a farmer
could probably give to a large field,
the labor expended added to the cost
of seed and fertilizer could not in
any case have been more than $20
per acre, and this sum is undoubt-
edly far in excess of actual average
cost. But, counting the cost $20 per
acre, the net profits would be $55
per acre minimum, more than is re-
ceived from cotton at half a bale
per acre.
These demonstrations should prove
of great “value to East Texas farm-
ers. It should prove to them that
there is profit in soil selection for
any crop; it should prove the value
of good seed beds, pure seed, fertil-
ization and cultivation. East Texas
soils, the most of them, are quick
to respend to the use of commercial
fertilizers. Where there is sufficient
organic matter in the soil, one dol-
lar’s worth of commercial fertilizer
will return three dollars in many in-
stances, and who could ask for a
better investment. Where there is
not sufficient organic matter in the
soil, the first thing to do is to plant
winter cover crops and plow them
under in the spring, and to plant le-
gumes and turn them under. In a
season or two of such treatment, if
the land is terraced, in case of sus-
ceptibility to washing, commercial
fertilizer will show surprising re-
turns in increased yields of better
quality crops. East Texas, because of

Take Chiropractic First, There’ll be
No Regrets
Texas has come upon a time when
serious thought ought to be given
to archaic institutions, some of them
now in shameful condition. It has
come to an era when the ground-
work for a new industrialism must
be laid. It is entering upon a period
to be marked by the rise of great
cities, huge financial enterprises and
great combinations of commerce. It
is about to see its natural resources
brought into the channels of trade
as never before. Ij is about to make
use of an endowment hitherto dfream-
ed of, but neither measured nor in-
telligently guessed at.
This is no time for calling names
and making faces like quarreling
schoolboys. The bickerings over
things past are not statesmanship.
They are not principle. They are not
matters of high courage and vast
import. They are poor politics and
narrow partisanship. They block the
way to bigger and better things.
Had we not better sweep the road
clear of them and carry on the up-
building of Texas?
Governor Moody did indeed earn
at Beaumont to make the appeal for
harmony which he is making to Tex-
as democracy. Those lost out at
Beaumont said Governor Moody was
“done for;” but he wasn’t. At Hous-
ton we saw him stand up and, bas-
ing his action upon principle and up-
on consistency, fight the machine that
was as heartless as a gambler with
marked cards and loaded dice, a ma-
chine that was invincible because too
