Visitors Charmed
With Kleberg County
I-Ast Saturday Casa Ricrado has as
quests more than fifty prospectors
from the north, some of them as far
away as Canada. They were visitors
to Bishop and were brought down to
Kingsville to be shown the Kingsville
section. A number of the business men
of the city joined them at dinner and
afterwards drove with them in cars
over the surrounding country. Mr.
Bishop who had been showing them
Bishop land and incidentally making
quite a large sale, was anxious for
them to see some more of the Sunny
South and brought them down in
ears. Secretary Jersig of the com-
ped to Kleberg county, where Mr.
Williams will distribute them imong
farmers on the share plan. The hogs
will cost the farmers nothing but in
return Mr. Williams will get a share
of the off-spring.
Seven of the animals were purchas-
ed from Sidney Smith, who has long
since learned the lesson of diversifi-
cation and who is a hog crank. He is
a strong believer in hog raising and
he has a right to be, since he has real-
ized many dollars from the industry.
Two of the animals were purchased
from (leorge Miller, who has done so
much as anyone else in placing Bee
county on the map as a country inha-
bited by prosperous farmers, who,
each any everyone, are espousing the
cause of diversification. Mr. Miller
was one of the principal hog exhibi-
tors at the Third Annual Bee County
mercial club, who was in the party,

different parties for purposes similar
to Mr. Williams’. Mr. Williams wants
to buy one hundred head of just such
animals as he got here this week, and
announced that he would return here
to make his purchase when local rais-
ers have the animals to spare. All the
ImDrOVement ^°KS were gilts and most of them

He gave out the information that
plans had been perfected whereby Kle
berg county would have all of the
time of Mr. Berryman during the next
year, Mr. Kleberg, manager of the
Santa Gertrudis ranch, generously
agreeing to help the department by
employing the demonstrator for two
days in the week. “And you may
state," said Mr. Froctor, “that I think
no better arrangement could have
been made. With assistance given by
Mr. Kleberg, the demonstration work
j at the Ranch ought to be perfect mod-
els and be worth the while of any
|farmer in all of the surrounding coun-
Ities making an especial trip to in»-

able to make this arrangement and
believe that the farmers of Kleberg

thereby."

Manager Roberts of the Lyric told
us the other day that, beginning n w
in a short while, he would have a
Mary Pickford picture every week,
and perhaps ofl oner than once in the
six nights. “You know she just recent-
ly signed a contract with the Famous
Picture Players,” he said “and this is
one of the companies I do business
with. Miss Pickford is to draw the
magnificent .sum of one hundred and
four thousand dollars a year, or just
twice the salary of last year. This
alone would prove her worth to the
picture world and guarantees some ex
dellent pictures for-1915.”
