With a yield of 200 bushels to the acre, income
to the tanner from this crop would be $80 as
compared with $.15 to $20 for cotton.
Chemists have declared that the cotton j
seed has “unlimited” application to industry j
and predicts that in the future cotton would ;
be grown in the South for the seed, not for !
the lint.
There is a basic problem, however, the ;
farmer must settle. He must learn to produce j
more cheaply, because industries, which have i
heavy expenses in plant operation, wages and \
taxes, must have cheap raw materials. The !
future of Texas agriculture lies in greater pro-
duction of a wider variety of crops at lower
cost. Then will come the inevitable tie-in with
i industries. And there will be little danger of
1 surpluses.—Semi-Weekly Farm News.

Japanese with a major disaster.
Throughout the occupied areas it is the
same story. Guerrillas are cutting Japanese
supply lines west of Peking in North Shansi
and Suiyan provinces. Thousands of Chinese
are lurking about almost in the suburbs of
Shanghai, attacking supply trains.
It seems that the Chinese don’t know when
they arc whipped. Few observers esp" •»*
them to fight with such resolution. It is ob-
vious now that the Japanese must be heavily
reinforced if they are to win the war at all. i
And then they will have to keep at least half j
a million men in China for a long time. It be- |
gins to look as if they might not be able to j
make the conquest pay.
The Chinese are winning the respect and I
admiration of the entire world by their brave !
fight for national independence,—Houston j

The Standard Ford V-8, with 60-horse-
power engine, gives you a lot of car for
a little money.
306,000 new owners acclaimed the
“thrifty 60” last year. Hundred* a day
are buying it in 1938. Why?
Because it is priced low— includes
essential equipment without extra
charge—and goes farther between
fiUing stations than any Ford ear
ever built. Owners all over the country
report averages of 22 to 27 mile* on a
single gallon of gasoline.
But economy isn't «!S the story by any
means. The Standard “60” is built wttfe
the same precision as the De Luxe “fft*
and has the same 112-inch whoelfe#*®
chassis. It is easy to look at and ride«®
— as well as easy to buy and run-
