In point of fact, it is very reasonable
to suppose that it will not only exist
much better, but that the count > as
a whole will prove much richer in Its
agricultural resources by accepting
dairying us a major occupation with
cotton and other pursuits as inculen
tal interests of the farm. That sounds
like a mighty broad statement hut i:
is coming to that very thing
As has been repeatedly stated, has
the advantage of most cotton growine
sections of Texas seeking relief from
the one-crop method of farming. Years
of experience lias taught many valua-
ble lessons. Climate and -soil conditions
enter largely into the success of dairy-
ing in the county. The great King
Ranch herd is the inspiration to
the building up of greatei avid more
productive herds. These things coopt
greatly in summing up the measure of
success as a major proposition, that
dairying might he expected to meet
for the future.
ductiou. if the reverse was tin* case?
(ht>n dairying was merely an incident,
..ml an expensive one to the owner's
problem of meeting the year's ex-
pense. .
Likewise, if the winter happened to
piove mild, this minimum of butterfat
production was held, with a conse-
quent overhead expense cut t«> the
point where* creamery checks were
apportioned both to the feed store
man and (he cheeking account at the
hank. The reverse being the case, a
severe winter, villi no protection to
valuable stock, cut the milk produc-
tion and increased the overhead. It
ha, been a simple matter of circum-
stance with little heed, in most cases
to a systematic reckoning with the
elements and climatic conditions as
they most certainly prevail in this
or any other section.
Rut the desired end. looking to the
firm establishment and the safety of
dairying as a major occupation in the
county is not yet reached; indeed it
is just now begun even though the in
dustry has its years of *'xperienee to
warrant the conviction of success.
Dairying in Kleberg county during the
past few years has been haphazard,
so to speak, with a good many al least.
In other wrods. if good rains brought
out the grass and seasons permitted
the grass continued green and dairy
herds were kept at the average of pro
Dairying as it is practiced in the less
favored portions of the North is sys-
tematized. It is the major occupation
of many counties in a region with
many unfavorable conditions to over-
come conditions wo of South Texas
do not enter as a problem or ns an ex
petise Yet many counties in these
Northern sections, devoting entire en-
ergies to this lone industry, have be-
come very wealthy, with property val-
ua ions increasing each year since a
departure from the one-crop corn
crop. ,
Kleberg county will come to this
thoroughly organized, systematized
procedure. It must, to prove entirely
suceessrul in its dairying us a major
activity. Better herds, more product-
ive herds, better and more silos, bet
ter dairy barns and more complete
ones, labor saving devises, and the
hundred and one things entering into

The .favelinu Digs invaded the home
crounds of the Corpus Christ! Hi Buc-
caneers last Saturday, and managed
for a scot * of •! to C when the referees !
tiual whistle blowed.
The Pig score came as a result of a 1
D covered fumble by the Buccaneers,
which the Corpus Hi bunch scored on ;
a series of line plunges.
It was an interesting game, accord-
ing to those who had the pleasure of
witnessing it. The local's offense;
showed some improvement over their
first game recently aaalnst the Robs-
town Hi eleven, but the defense was
said to he "cracked," whatever that
means in football.
Several passes were completed by
the Pigs, and Meckliu got off a nice
end run for lit) yards.
The Corpus bunch has a strong line
and a fine working hack field, making
a well balanced organization thiough-
out. They have the best wishes of the
Pigs in their game with Austin Hi.

may be put on a parity with Houston,
Galveston and other Texas ports in the
allocution of shipping board vessels.
A conference on the matter was held
Friday between Roy Miller of Corpus
Christ! and General Dalton, president
of the Emergency Fleet Corporation.
Congressman Briggs, Texas, also
conferred with shipping hoard ofti
rials Friday in an effort to have addi-
ditional vessels alloted to Galveston.
So acute is ijie demand for shipping
in the gulf district that the board is
reconditioning every vessel that can
be reconditioned in order to take care
of the demand. The bulk of &0 vessels
leconditioned during the summer went
to tiie gulf and even these did not take
care of the demand.
BIRTHDAY PARTY
The ladies of the Baptist church en-
tertained Mrs. Dawson with a party
at the home of Mrs. Frank Carr on
Sixth street. Queen’s Crown was ai
tistically used for decorations.. Many
games were enjoyed by the guests,
hut the one that caused the most mor
riment was tlie one in which the la-
dies went fishing.
An old tub served as the fishing
pond and many and strange fish were
captured. Mrs. Dawson, being the
guest of honor, was allowed to fish
last and great was her surprise when
she fished out a lovely water sot.
Punch was served to twenty-seven
guests.

sihle to this complete success. It does
sound unreasonable that that these
things will be. but reason is more in-
sistent. circumstance more urgent now
than ever before.
Building up a great dairy business,
producing a perfect article by reason
of better herds, better shelter and bet-
ter herd surroundings, is then the ob-
jective for the county. Placing on the
market a perfect product, creating a
demand for this product by reason of [
its richness, its purity and its positive •
guarantee of cleanliness is the ulti- j
mate goal. And the time is not so far !
in the future when Kleberg county i
dairy products will he known as a pre-
mier product in every large city of
Texas and elsewhere.
The world is accustomed to making
beaten paths to quality, to the finer
art lelo. The world is not averse to pay-
ing the full price for superiority. That
is why the superior Kleberg county
dairy products will meet with this ae
J ceptance. That is why Kleberg coun’i
must bend every energy toward the
; production of this superior article,
