PROCEEDINGS STARTED

GOVERNOR FAVORS
AMITY IN MEXICO
Austin, Feb. 12.—All correspond
ence between Governor Dan Moody
and Mexican Consul’General A. P.
Carrillo of San Antonio, relative to
the legislative good will trip into
Mexico was made public today and
'has been the topic of conversation
among those who have kept up with
tile Mexican situation.
Persons very close to Governor
Moody say he feels that the United
States government policy toward
Mexico daring the past few months
has virtually torn down all the good
will built up during past years and
that as governor of Texas, he is go-
ing to try and build it back again.
In extending ah invitation to the
governor, members of the house and
spate of Texas to visit his republic,
Consul Carrillo said in part:
“Permit me, my dear governor, to
renew my desire and best wishes to
increase the friendship and good will
between Texas and Mexico and hope
it will serve as an example for the
entire United States of America.”
In accepting
emor Moody wrote
sul general that “any mission
has for its
agation of
between
sion greatly to be praised.”
est assets. In a quiet and unobtrusive
manner he goes to thi meetings of
the farmers and lets them proceed in
their own way. When called upon for
suggestions, he gives them sugges-
tions and lets the farmers think them
over. After thinking it out carefully,
the farmers see that his suggestions
are wise ones and they put them into
practice.
Bailey does not say to them, “You
must reduce your cotton acreage or
you are doomed,” and leave them
without relief. Instead, he takes the
minds of the farmers off cotton pro-
duction by making them, think of
other crops or other products. He
shows therp by concrete example that
there is ipo'te clear money in sweet
milk, sweet cream, eggs, chickens,
turkeys, honey, wool and like products
than in cotton.
The county agent has talked to the
farmers and interested them in diver-
sified farming, in dairying, poultry,
sheep and goats; and in growing their
own feed. He has shown the farmers
that their money from these commod-
ities is coming in constantly instead
of only through one short season of
the year.
During the past year, six sweet
milk and sweet cream stations have
been established in Bosque county
with the aid of the county agent. They
are located at Mustang, Cranfills Gap,
Iredell, Spring Creek, Meridian arid
Walnut Springs. All these stations
are doing nicely and the farmers are
wel} pleased. The county agent urges
the farmers at these places to sell the
swqet cream instead of the whole
milk, in order that they may. keep the
separated milk at home to feed to
chickens, pigs and other livestock.
A Bosque County Chamber of Com-
merce has been organized, gt the sug-
gestion of the county agent, by the,
farmers, stockmen and business peo-i
pie in order to talk over their com-
mon problems and interests. This*
county Chamber of Commerce has al- j
ready succeeded in inducing seven
other counties to join in a fight
on predatory animals in these eight
counties so that it may be made
safer for the farmers and stockmen
to raise their sheep, goats and other
livestock without so much molestation
and destruction by these wild ani-
mals.
Because it carries the lowest prices ever
placed on a truly fine automobile, the Most
Beautiful Chevrolet brings into existence an
entirely new conception of “Quality at Low
Cost."
Never before at Chevrolet’s amazingly re.
duced prices has any manufacturer provided
so many fine car features, and so many me-
chanical improvements. These are typified
by new bodies by Fisher finished in Duco
colors, full-crown one-piece fenders, bullet-
tvpe lamps, AC oil filter, AC air cleaner.
Improved transmission, larger radiator and
many, many others.
You need only to see these supremely beau-
tiful cars to realize why all America is pro-
claiming them as the greatest sensation of
America’s greatest industry! You need only
to compare them with the finest the market
affords to see that they represent the biggest
- dollar-for-dollar value ever offered! Come in
today and get a demonstration!
