desires and wishes on the mat
ters which may be brot before
the body when it meets.
Mr, Sumners explained that
he' did not know, of course,
what would be embodied in the
bills to be presented but that
there were certain outstanding
matters that would most likely
be brot forward and he want-
ed to know how the farmers of
Dallas county felt on the ques-
tions involved and how they
would desire their Congress-
man to work and vote on them
when they were brot forward.
For that reason he was visit-
ing the vantage points and
having these heart to heart
talks with the farmers them
selves and getting their opin-
ions on several questions of
great importance.
One of the questions asked
Was: Would the farmers think
it best to confine ourselves to
the production of sufticient
cotton only to supply the home
demand; that cotton which
could be consumed by the pe •
pie of the United Sta es or
should we try to produce
some to sell to foreign coun-
tries and try to regain some of
the lost foreign markets. It
was the desire of those voting
in the meeting that we produce
more cotton and try to regain
the foreign trade. It was brot
but that no assurance could be
given that the foreign manu-
facturer would not invade the
local market in time if we fail
ed to take the proper steps to
escape that contingency.
Whether the <aw should be
framed to compel all farmers
to conform to it or permit
them to refrain from coopera- month having that injured leg

We have often wondered
what was the feeling of the
natives of those islands, Col-
umbus thinking he had reach-
ed India named tb*m or called
them Indians, when they saw
those three vessels with great
white wings (sails) lying
close to their land on that
eventful morning 445 years
ago- It was on a Friday that
Columbus landed with his band
of Sailors and the natives must
have been awed by such a dis-
play of gold braid and other
finery which the crew wore*
It is said they had but feW
golden ornaments and these
they readily traded for the gew
gaws which the visitors of.
feted for them. Gold was
what the crew wanted and it
was then as now the god wor-
shipped by the nations which
Columbus and his crew rep-
resented. Spices and prec-
ious stones were also wanted
and they were somewhat dis-
appointed when so little of
these were to be found in the
territory visited on this ini-
tial trip.
There was quite a little
said about converting the na-
tives to the Christian reli-
gion, but it does not seem to
us as we look back upon the
picture that they had a very
great stock to dispose of. It
would seem to us from the
histories which we have read,
that the Native treatment of
the invader was patterned
closer to the Golden Rule than
was that of the invader. And
just as an aside, we might
mention that right now they
need the teachings of the Man
of Galilee over in the countries
from which the sailors and
Columbus came if it ever was
needed in this great World,
But we readily give honor to
Columbus for his great work
in what we choose to term a
Christian Civilization.

was received by the dealers
with the liveliest enthusiasm,
according to Mr. H. Wilson,
manager of the Dallas Zone,
who conducted the presenta-
tion meeting.
The features of the new car
were explained in detail at a
morning session at the Pan-
American Casino. The after-
noon session was devoted to a
presentation of the plans for
the public announcement of
the 1938 Chevrolet and a de-
tailed explanation of Chevro-
let’s fall advertising campaign.
“The reception accorded the
new Chevrolet by our dealer
organization points to the most
successful n e w model an-
nouncement we have ever had”
Mr. Wilson declared. “That
the advances made over pre-
vious models will meet with
the immediate approval of the
public is an assertion of which
there can be no doubt.”
Home Orchards in Central
Texas Produce Fruit for
Home Use and for Sale
Home orchards in Central
Texas are producing fruit for
home use and for sale and a
large number of farmers are
finding orchards very profi-
table. In addition, a large
number of orchards are being
started at this time, reports
from county agricultural
agents in that region indicate.
When Charlie Cuthbertson
bought a 122 acre farm in Co-
manche county several years
ago, his neighbors predicted
that he would never make it
pay. However, he turned 40
acres back to woods and pas-
ture and planted the remaining
land in fruit trees and berry
vines and has succeeded where
others have failed with cotton.
Grapes are his main crop and
from his 3,000 vines some
of which have not yet come in-
to full bearing, he gathered
75.000 pounds of grapes this
year which sold for about
$2,500. In addition, he sold
1.000 bushels of plums for
$500. From his 25 acres of
berries he sold 2,000 crates
which netted him $400 above
expenses. He is now market-
ing his pears and expects to
have 500 bushels which will
bring another $550.
Cuthbertson also produces
food for the family, feed for
his livestock, and has a flock
of turkeys worth $250.
Mr. and Mrs. Tom W Field
started this week on a trip to
California. They are travel-
ing in their car and going by
way of Amarillo and northern
Arizona where they will see
the Grand Canyon of the Colo-
rado as well as the great for-
