If you want a savory sweetening
for your breakfast battercakes, get
your grocer to stock up with genuine
East Texas ribbon cane syrup unci lay
in a supply for the winter—that is,
if you don’t live in East Texas and
grpw ribbon cane yourself. It is the
only acknowledged rival of Southwest
Texas honey.—Will H. Maves in Kerr-
ville Sun.
The Paramount Problem
The East Texas Chamber of Com-
merce can engage in no more impor-
tant service to East Texas at this
time than to study markets and to
evolve plans for profitable market-
ing of all the products from the that
section. The problem of markets is
the paramount problem of American
agricultural proclucers today it is like-
wise becoming a more serious prob-
lem for the manufacturing industry,
as European manufacturing revives.
The American farmer knows how to
produce. His trouble is that he pro-
duces more than available markets
will absorb. This is true of East
Texas farmers, as well as of farmers
in every other part of the country,
and likewise it is true of East Texas
industrial producers. East Texas
could multiply its agricultural, horti-
cultural and manufacturing produc-
tion several times very easily. But
until markets of sufficient absorbtive
power are discovered, or developed to
prevent the accumulation of surplus-
es, expansion of production must be
held down. If the chamber can find
a greater outlet, greater production
will follow naturally. As someone
said about the automobile industry a
little while ago, its problem is one of
salesmanship, not of production, in
the future.—Houston Post-Dispatch.
Black-eyed Peas Staple Crop
One result of the TO-year soil im-
provement campaign in Smith county
has been to make blackeyed peas a
staple crop, the yield this year being
the largest on record. The crop is not
confined to the one county, either, but
extends over a number of East Texas
counties. Diversified farming has
neatly stopped East Texas from ship-
ping in any corn, where as in some
previous years about all the money
made from cotton went to buying corn
and wheat.—Will H. Mayes in Kerr-
ville Sun. :

SPRINGTIME IN EAST TEXAS
Oh, the dogwood is in blossom,
Gleaming white among the green,
And the pinkish, purplish red bud
In the woods can now be seen.
The mocking bird from morn till night
With song the message brings.
And at eventide the whip-poor-will
Announces it is spring.
Springtime in East Texas,
How my heart aches as I dream,
Of the long stemmed purple violets,
That gfow down beside the stream,
And I wish that I was there today,
As in the days of yore,
To see my happy little ones
Gather them once more.
—Annie Stafford Wallace in
Houston Chronicle.
Under assignments made at the
Texas Conference last week at Port
Arthur, Rev. C. L. Williams will be-
come pastor of the Methodist church
at Texas City. His successor here will
be Rev. P. S. Wilson, who will come
to Troup from a pastorate at Alto.
Rev. and Mrs. Williams expect to
leave for Texas City Thursday.
During their stay at Troup, Rev.
and Mrs. Williams have made a large
number of friends, and they have been
very faithful in their church work and
in other activities for community wel-
fare. :

The maintenance of an adequate -

factor in maintaining crop produc-

all agricultural authorities, as to
make its mention almost common-

agricultural practices of many South-
ern farmers that the importance of
nitrogen in profitable farming is far
from being fully realized. If we are
to maintain evfcn the present status
of agriculture in the South, to say
nothing of increasing the acre yields
and of making production more prof-
itable, this situation with respect to
the use of nitrogen, in particular,

L. A. KAYSER
Attorney at Law
Tyler, Texas
«
on, agricultural agent
Pacific railroad, writ-
- Post-Dispatch,
M. M. Madiso
of the Southern
ing in the Houston
says:
The other day at a meeting of rep-
resentative farmers of Cherokee coun-
ty, called together for a conference
on the agricultural programs for 1928
by the chamber of commerce, one of
the farmers voluntarily became a
strenuous advocate of live-at-home.
After a short talk, someone asked if
he had ever heard of a failure of a
live-at-home farmer. He said that he
had not. He was asked whether he
had ever known of a live-at-home
farmer who had not succeeded.
He replied:
“Every farmer that grows his own
feeds and lives at home, that I have
known anything about, has succeed-
ed, and that’s why I am advocating
this method.” ,
That was a rather significant stand
for a farmer to take in a county-
wide conference called to outline the
next year’s farm program. This
farmer assumed a definite, positive
position and aggressively advocated
it. A few years ago, such a thing
would hardly have been possible, but
public sentiment is changing and
farm usages and customs are being
improved, and these better usages are
finding active championship among
farmers.
It looks as if this kind of spirit
will gradually grow until it develops
into a positive leadership.
There is a corresponding movement
taking place in farm financing. Bank-
ers are beginning to find that those
farmers that live at home, do not need
crop loans and get along better with-
out them. Almost every banker knows
of from one to a dozen who are doing
better by live-at-home methods, and
they are gradually finding that onc-
cropism and crop loans are making
tenants out of the best farmers and
causing the land to lose its fertility.
Hence there is a general change from
the old idea of making crop loans.
Something like a year ago, the banks
of one county in Georgia announced
through the public press that, while
they would finance crops in 1927, be-
ginning with 1928, they would not
make any loans to farmers unless
they had enough feed to carry them
through the crop year. In many parts
of Fayette and Cee counties, here in
Texas, crop loans have been discon-
tinued, and there are other section ;
where this is partially true. Recent-
old ones on the girls’ basket-ball j lent records are eligible to member-
court. * ship.

hirst National, and R. E. Harding of
the Fort Worth National, have conn
out with statements that favored the
refusal of credit to farmers who did
not diversify, and in public interviews
declared the farmer who did not live
at home did not deserve credit.
This might be called a team move-
ment with the team made up of live-
at-home farmers and those who fi-
nance crops. The team is pulling to-
gether, and if -it plows under the old
one-crop system, one of the best pos-
sible things for farming in Texas will
have come to pass. ;
