There has been more visit-
ing in Hereford since Febru-
ary 2 than ever known be-
fore- Old friendships are being
renewed at the rate of one or
more daily. Night telephone
conversations are at a mini-
mum, for people have quit call-
ing up and are calling on. Ei-
ther that or they have taken
to motoring. Anything to keep
the home gas fires low. It
may l>f cheaper to bum gaso-

it is more than likely the same

In the county agent’s an-
nual report of what happened
in 1930 during his business
waking hours one item of par-
ticular interest to this news-
paper was mentioned. Mr. | plain inspiration. The ladies of
tlonx from headquarters which
impart the information that
no demonstration is complete
until it has been published in
the newspaper of general cir-
culation of that district. The
Brand has been 30 years build-
ing up reader interest and it
perhaps merits being classed
now, in its early prime, in tho
general circulation category.
For home people it has no jeer
for conveying information to
tho restful fireside where each
may read of his neighbor or
himself.
The department of agricul-
ture recognizes this service of
the local newspaper and its
conclusion that no demonstra-
tion, regardless of how widely
attended, hns not been finish-
ed until it has been written
up and circulated in the news-
paper is a compliment to the
press and a recommendation
to the entire public, whether
they be readers, contributors
or advertisers.
♦ ♦ ♦
With their minds filled w’ith
mental pictures of the big
chickens seen in the recent
poultry shows, some of the
children of this community
have been begging their par-
ents to take them to Amarillo
February 20, to see “Paddy
Rooster,” as they understand
the Polish word is pronounc-
ed.

The club ladies of Ward are
going to find out if there is
anything in a name. The Will-
ing Workers recently voted to
discard the old cognomen and
henceforth be known as the
La Afflatus Studio. You have
heard of lovers and poets be-
ing able to soar high by vir-
tue of possessing a divine af-
flatus, and back in high school
days you have even been af-
flated or inflated at precious
intervals but had no name for

Dunkle reported that 51 news
articles or stories about, the
farm extension work had been
published. That is practically
Ward are to be congratulated
upon their studio of inspira-
tion, for that is xvliat all elubs
should he. The good work
dividual operations th.it may ts*
of significance to more than one
Is surprising. In one Instance, Mr.
Dunkle made an 80-rnlle trip to
get the facts on how one fanner
was growing wheat In tillable
rows and secured a promise <rf
the grower that he would keep
accurate data for 1931 on how
he handled such a pixx-edure, as
It might be possible a discovery
was In prospect for a new wheat
culture.
Other facta of interest gleaned
from the annual report are:
There are 30 men ln the agri-
cultural council, io communities
•»ut of 20 have extension programs,
27 men are ln eapadty of local
leaders in adult work and eight
men in 4-H club work.
There are eight 4-H dubs In oi»-
eratIon. having a personnel of 51
iioys und 21 girls. Four farmers

The number of newa
