COLEMAN COUNTY’S ENTERPRISE
(Fort Worth Star-Telegram)..
Coleman county Jhas shown its neighbors in* Tex,
is some genuine enterprise in the nationwide field of -oil
und water conservation and the Texas press is extremely
generous in congratulation. The t olenmn county program
Las been described by most of the Texas newspapers for
Ihe ediFieation of the farmers, small town interests and lo-
cal politicians in a manner calculated to produce much
practical and profitable imitation.
Coleman county obtained from the State Legislature
authority for the establishment of a conservation system of
closely linked lakes and dams. The citizenship supplied
the funds. The plan includes erosion prevention, soil re-
habilitation and the retention of all of the water eventually
to fall upon the area. Power irrigation and domestic wn-
t(*r Supplies arc the objectives. Saving of water and land
and the assurance of countywide productivity are thus
provided for the future. The program rests cm a perman-
ent base. ?
Coleman county-has given Texas a launty working
model of development apd improvement. N

Lately, through experiments In
cross breeding, Mrs. Clements has
produced a number of seedlings
which she hope* will be outstand-
ing In quality and beauty.
The State Horticultural Assoela-
i tlon. recently formed. Is gathering
i material on Iris growing and has
asked Mrs. Clements to contribute
[to a publication to be printed this
j summer by the Department of Hor-
■ tlculture of A A- M. College. SeV-
oral short articles of hers have ap-
peared In a state paper.
Although her Iris garden at her
home. 600 11th St., is lovely, Mrs.
! Clements hopes to have a sninll Iris
farm near the city sooti to further
her experiments In Iris growing.
