THE DEMOCRAT-VOICE, COLEMAN, TEXAS, THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 1930.
NO. 10.
'THIS IS A timid publication. It
* never claims credit for anything
good or bad that happens. It does
rejoice, however, when it happens—*
provided it is good. It was about
three years ago that Coleman Col-
umn, or rather a grandfather of the
column, started park agitation. At
that time there! were no parks. Now
the city has two that compare favor-
ably with any park in Texas made
by men and women. They are real
assets to the town, a boon to child-
ren and refreshing maditating places
for older people. They will be im-
proved with time and it is not un-
reasonable to anticipate a wonderful
zoo and museum at one of them in
thejtuture.
iN ANTONIO’S parks have made
it one of America's unique cities.
Recently several hundred thousand
dollars have been spent to make
them more attractive. The bear
pits and monkey island are always
lined with humanity and the mon-
keys never tire of cutting capers
for the amusement of spectators.
Coleman can’t expect its parks to
approach the granduer of San An-
tonio’s parks, but we can expect to
lead the smaller cities of Texas.

•THIS COLUMN has also frequently
suggested the acquisition of a
swimming pool, but so far the mat-
ter is in status quo. The question
has often been discussed and at this
time frequently is mentioned on the
1930 program. Its Just as sure to
come as old fences are to be re-
moved, but patience is at low ebb
By all means the city should have
one by summer. It can have if
every agency will co-operate. The
summer of 1930 is going to be long
and hot with three good rains scat-
tered over the months that compose
the season and unless a swimming
pool is escured and maintained
oodles of two-bit pieces will be spent
by Coleman youngsters in nearby
towns.
I EON L. SHIELD at a meeting in
the chamber of commerce offices
last week made the statement that
to ngrry the Coleman ball club
thrftugh a season entails the expen-
trtflh* of 111.000. In order to avoid
a deficit at the end of the season,
lie said. It would require $6,000 on
the barrel head before opening
date. Nearly everybody in Coleman
wants a ball team. As Mr. Shield
raid, it is essentially a “poor man
and hard times’’ game. To enjoy a
baseball game requires no invest-
ment in sticks, balls, fishing tackle,
automobiles nor a college education

r’CMiEMAN county farms are in
better shape this year than they
have been if information reaching
this office is correct. All that is
needed now is a good rain. The
worth of a county agent has been
admirably demonstrated to those
who foot the bill. Terraced farms
alone will be worth the expenditure,
say nothing of the wise counsel
available for farmers at all times.
Fair exhibits in the fall will further
convince the people it was folly to
go as long as the county did without
a farm agent.

HTHE WORK that Mr. Robinson
1 and Miss Brent are doing is es-
sentia I to the enhanccmeht of land
values and the success of the Cole-
man eonty fair. This fall you are
going to see exhibits far superior to
those that made the fair last year.
Farmers and farm lRdies are going
to know what to plant, how to plant,
how to can and how to produce bet-
ter poultry. Last year the start was
late, but the fair was a success and
some of the exhibits won first plize
at the State Fair. Already Miss
Brent is anticipating more laurels
(dr those with whom she labors.
•IWthlng short of a wholesale prize
taking at Dallas is going to satisfy
her. Mr. Robinson will likely ba as
hard to please. This, however, is
his first year with Coleman county
fai mers and the people will be satis-
fied, perfectly satisfied, with fewer
achievements. Already he has the
distinction of fostering the biggest,
or rather the largest attended, ter-,
racing demonstration every held in
Texas. It is not unreasonable, there-
fore, to expect him to idle up a

"pHIS COLUMN especially wants
him to tell the people how to
raise big turnips, big beets and other
garden commodities they will be
proud to bring to this office for in-
spection and consumption. There
have been years in the past when
this office has been swamped with
good things to eat from the farms
of Coleman county and a repetition
of the practice will not be at all
objectionable. Vegetables contain
all the ingredients necessary to lub-
ricate the brain and decrease the
cost of high living. Any relief at
this office will have to come from
the farm agent. When Miss Brent's
fruits and vegetables are canned
they arc, too pretty to open—they
are, in other words, for the eyes and
not the stomachs. The glass jars
will get the benefit of vitamins they
contain.
School trustees and cotton farmers
from scattered part's of the county
were in Coleman this morning in re-
sponse to invitations mailed them
the first of the week by secretary
Sim O'Neal of the chamber of com-
merce to attend a meeting at 10
o'clock this morning to discuss cot-
ton acreage reduction and Uniform
cotton planting.
The idea for the meeting was in-
spired by a letter, received by the
chamber of commerce from George
B Terrell, state commissioner of ag-
riculture.
In the letter Mr. Terrell said:
"The price of cotton has reached tiie
lowest point (16c) since the big crop
of 1926, when it sold as low as 10c.
If last year’s crop of 14,919,000 bales
is now selling at 16c, what may we
expect this year's crop to bring if we
oroduce 17,630,000 bales which our
last year's acreage would produce
under favorable conditions, such as
we had in 1926? It would certain-
ly sell for 10c or less, and we cannot
stand such a calamity.
The South had 45,981,000 acres of
cotton last year and Texas had 17,-
872,000 acres and the total produc-
tion was 14,919,000 bales and Texas
production was 3,887,000 bales.
Should the same acreage be plant-
ed this year, under favorable condi-
tions, we would produce 17,500,000 or
18,000,000 bales and get less than 10c
for It, if it could be sold at all.
Do not depend upon the Farm
Beard to raise the price, as the price
is' made by gamblers on Cotton Ex-
changes. Reduce the acreage 15%
and grow a better staple and raise
the price yourselves, as self-help is
the best help.
Production must be reduced be-
low consumption to prevent cotton
gamblers from controlling the price.
Approximately one-third of Texas
cotton is untenderable on contracts
because of short staple, and tills
short staple sells from tep to fifteen
dollars per bale less than inch staple.
I appeal to cotton growers'to re-
duce acreage, and grow better staple
cotton as the only present means of
securing a profitable price."
Similar meetings have been held in
all adjoining countjes and It Is be-
lieved by agencies Interested that a
very substantial reduction will re-
sult and that a better grade of cot-
ton will be planted.
Stewardson Pool Gets 100 Barrel
Producer.
The Tidal Oil Company last week
completed its No. 3 Stewardson,
Breneke sand, for a 100 barrel pro-
ducer. The well is located nine
miles south of Santa Anna, 150 feet
from the cast and 930 feet from the
south line of section 91 of the E. T.
R. R. survey.
t aldwell Makes Location.
County Surveyor J. P. Caldwell
reports the making of a location
for an oil test for the Robert Oil
Company on the Geo. Ray ranch
south of Valera. The location is on
a 200-acre lease the company holds
in Joslah B. Beal survey No. 301,
1880 feet north and 9*0 feet west of
the southeast corner of the 200-acre
tract.
Coleman people
two elections in
manner.
On April 1 qualified voters in the
municipality will select a mayor and
two city commissioners to serve the
city for two years.
On April .5 county and Coleman
independent school district trustees
will be elected.
In the city the old mayor, E. P.
Scarborough, and the two present
commissioners, F. W. Taylor and J.
T. Blair, are being opposed by R.
H. Alexander for mayor and Harry
Thompson and J. S. Rogers for com-
missioners. This election is warm-
ing up with the approach of the
final day and some wagers are being
made by friends of the contestants.
In Coleman Independent School
four of seven trustees arc to be
elected and over the county one
county trustee is to be elected from
each commissioner's precinct and one
ffom the county at large, making
a to’aiof five county trustees.
Retiring members of the Coleman
Independent district are J. P. Mc-
Cord, T. J. Allen, J. L. Strother and
W. A. Robertson. Holdovers arc H.
H. Jackson, Cecil Gray and J. F.
Gejr.es. Cecil Gray was recently
appointed to the board to fill the
unexpired term of Edgar Manning
who recently moved from Coleman.
There will probably be no opposition
to reelection of oid members of the
board to succeed themselves.

The addition of another nice oil
producer to the Overall pool seven
miles south of Coleman has served
the same purpose as whistling
through a grave yard. It has re-
vived oil talk and hope for the re-
turn of better days.
The new well is the Continental,
Cheney et al Overall No. 15, which
was drilled in Monday with a pro-
duction, from the top of f,he sand,
of 320 barrels. Deeper drilling, it is
believed, will very materially increase
the flow. The production is from
the Fry sand found at 2185 feet.
Another encouraging omen is the
increase in production of Continen-
tal, Cheney, et al No. 14, from 50
to 190 barrels after a 15 quart shot
