Do You Know’s for Dairy Beginners
I have heard many real estate
agents compare the Gulf Coast Coun-
try to the Garden of Eden. Some of
ttheir similies were amusing. One said
we could go Eden one better, as apple
trees were not in evidence. Another,
a lady, 1 believe, said it was like the
old hymn, “Where every prospect
pleases and only man is vile.” 1 often
wonder how Adam and Eve would
have got along down here when tig
leaves were in style, at the time when
they hid from the Voice walking in
the Garden. Seems as if they would
have got considerably scratched. How-
ever, of all these similies, possibly the
most apt would be “flowing with milk
and honey,” only it doesn’t. But it can
and by “can” no joke about milk cans
was intended.
The Texas Industrial Congress is
disseminating the Moser Plan for pro-
moting the dairy industry in Texas
and is doing a most commendable
work, and doing it along a most sen-
sible and conservative plan. Neverthe-
less we must not tumble into this
ORGANIZATION NEEDED
BY COTTON RAISERS
The Bryan Commercial Club, work-
ling under the direction of the exten-
jsion department of the A. & M. Col-
lege, is promoting an association
among the farmers of Brazos County
jfor diversification and marketing. As
Clarence Ousley points out in the di-
versification Bulletin issued for free
I distribution by the College, comm?.
Icial clubs in Texas can render signal
service in the present emergency, by
reason of their training and experi-
ence in organization. Indeed, organi-
sation is seemingly about all that is
needed, as the overwhelming senti-
jment in Texas is now for reduction of
cotton acreage and for diversification.
It will take thorough organizatio. .
however, to make this sentiment ef-
fevtive.

The Monroe Doctrine

mally recognized and assented to the
, „„„ I Monroe doctrine. So we need not he

paration. We must knov* what we are
going to do, and be prepared to do it
Tight.
Buying cow's is not quite all that
there is to it; not by a long shot. Ask
yourselves (I am talking now to pros-
pective dairymen):
1. Do you know how to take proper
care of your cows?
2. Are you provided with abundant
feed and water, fodder and shelter,
brains and bran?
3. Can you get good cows? Do you
know a good cow when you see one,
sand do you realize that one cow cost-
ing $100 is worth it, is worth consid-
erably more than two cows costing
$50 apiece and not worth that? Do
vou realize that this cow movement is
going to be an incentive to unprinci-
pled or ignorant speculators, to go out
into the highways and byways ami
buy the cheapest (?) cows they can
find and bring them down here
sell them to you at exorbitant prices?
.And do you know that there is such a
thing as tuberculosis in cows and that
it can be diagnosed by a certain test,
that all intelligent dairymen are test-
ing their herds, and that nobody
knows what becomes of those cows
which do not stand sueli a test
Rest assured the best is never any
too good.
Remember the best deserve.- the
best treatment.
Realize that whatever is worth do-
ing at all is worth doing well.
Recollect the old adage “Don’t bite
off more than you can chew.”
Rise over the glorious Arch of the
Milky Way and rejoice in an endur-
ing prosperity. *

(By J. H. Arbenz, Santa, Tox.)
This is the season of the year when
most home owners are making plans
to brighten things up a bit arounH
the premises. The head of the family
realizes that he owes it to his good
wife and children and to the communi-
ty as well to make the home surround-
ings as attractive as possible, but how
to do this with the means at his com.
mand is often a perplexing question.
A few suggestions therefore may be
welcomed and helpful.
Here in this climate one can have,
with a very little outlay of money
and care, such flowering shrubs as
the Oleander, Pomegranate and Crepe
Myrtle, the first two perhaps the
most easily grown. In vines, the Bal-
sam, Japanese Morning Glory and
Queen’s Crown all grow luxuriantly,
the first named being particularly
able to take care of itself. If a 'perm-
anent vine is wanted, nothing is bet-
ter than the honeysuckle.
The Periwinkle should not be omit-
ted as it will thrive practically with-
out care and give a profusion of flow-
ers. It has brightened many a home
that otherwise would be devoid of
flowers.
Then one should have a few shade
trees. If nature has not provided these
or you have been so thoughtless as to
destroy those that nature has given
you, nothing will furnish such quiuk
shade as the Texas Umbrella.
A little labor and water will enahle
you to have a Bermuda grass plot and
this is worth having even if it is not
jlarger than bed spread. The waste
| water will take care of that much and
it will be a bright spot and a joy for-
ever, especially to the housewife.
In the suggestions 1 have had in
mind those things only that require
the minimum outlay are numberea.
With the investment of a reasonable
amount of money and care one can
add largely to the list and to the des-
irable effects. A rose garden, some
palms (the plant that gives the tropi-
cal effect), a few arborvitae or olivt
hedge of Japanese privet, a
screen of tamarix, a grape arbor, a
half dozen orange and other citrus
trees, and you have a setting that can-
not be duplicated by anything else.
This accomplished, you have ‘the sat-
isfaction of knowing that you have a
real home place for those that are
nearest and dearest to you and it will
give you the greatest pleasure to in-
vite your friends in to enjoy all these
things with you and yours.
Can you think of any better way
to provide the greatest Christmas joy
for the whole family than to beautify
the home grounds? Something that
will be a joy forever to the family and
friends.
; Even though she has assured us that
she has no designs on South America,
that would not prevent her from tak-
ing or trying to take Canada, a West
Indian island or two or Freeh Giana,
if she shoould defeat the allies. Our
Monroe Doctrine is good, then only so
long as we can make it good, or until
some power comes along strong
enough to smash it. Furthermore, I
believe no great power has ever for-
mally yielded to the principle that the
fact of one of its natives becoming a
citizen of this country abrogates that
country’s right to exact military ser-
vices of him. The powers don’t try to
take naturalized American citizens and
put them into service, but they hav*»
never said they recognized absolutely
the right of expatriation. Readers will
note that Great Britain continues to
search our ships on the high seas for
^ 'contraband, if not for sailors. In fact,
according to the best authority, none
I of these matters has been finally ad-
justed. Great Britain did not formati.>
j renounce impressment in the
I of 1814-15. “It was shot to pieces by

be tried again. Germany and Austria
| have released naturalized Americans
held for military service due in trios
countries, hut they have never re-
nounced the “right” so to deal with and your shoulders back,
itheir former citizens. All those things jing the best thing you
may he covered some day by treaty.
But--Belgium had a treaty. Germany | will never be sorry. And you’ll be sur-
