Daddy, dear, we are so lonely.
Oh! how sadly we will miss you:
Alas! your sufferings are ended
Your earthly task Is thru.
Now y. u lie a gently sleeping
Tonight in a new made grave.
With all that loving hands could

NEXT YEARS PLAN
This year is nearly gone and by reviewing the mistakes
of this year we may plan better for next. Most of us were not
prepared for such a drouth.>In fact but few of us are ever pre-
pared for any unforseen emergency.
Many of the dairymen of this section are from old es-
tablished communities of the north where everybody prepares
for the long hard winter without grass, for grass is not
thought of for at least four months and normally a much
longer time. These same dairymen can remember well filled
cribs containing corn, wheat and oats. Barn mows filled with
hay. Plenty for horses, plenty for cows, calves, chickens and
pigs.
Such preparation was a normal procedure for every farm-
in their old homes do not follow the same plan here. What is
the reason? Do we still believe that this is he land of pleny
and no such effort is needed? Surely there will be no such mis-
conception from now on so let us plan new things for the new
year.
Let us plan to have plenty of silage to care for the entire
herd for the whole year. Plan for plenty of hay for the year
not only for the cows of the dairy but for cows and calves.
If that much is planted and is found to be too much no-
thing is lost for silage will keep for years and it is good prac-
tice to have a year’s supply in advance if dairying is to be
more than a hand-to-mouth existance. So let us plant at the
first opportunity this spring and not wait until some other
crop is planted and harvested before we plant our feed crop
for so many times a late crop is a failure on account of extreme
heat and dry weather.
Adequate roughage is essential in economical dairying.
Concentrates may be bought many times economically, but sel-
dom is it economy to buy roughage. Profitable dairying gener-
ally is the result of well laid plans for the future.
Looney To Fight For

When Judge J. D. Mo<>re last
week set the $17,000,000 anti-trust

the court-room was a man who has

EL PROYECTO PARA EL AflO ENTRANTE
Este ano se esta pasando, y revisando todos los equivo-
cos de este ano, debiamos tener un proyecto mejor para el
ano siguiente. Muchos de nosotros no estabamos preparados
para esta seca, pero la verdada es que muchos de nosotros
nunca estamos preparados para alguna emergencia.
Muchos de los lecheros de esta comunidad, son del Nor-
te donde todos se preparan para el invierno con bastante zaca-
te. Estos mismos lecheros Henan pesebres de maiz, trigo, avena
y zacate. Bastante para caballos, vacas, becerros, aves y ma-
rranos.
Tal preparacidn era un progreso normal para todos los
labradores que tenian ganado. Estos mismos hombres que lle-
baban acabo este programa en el Norte, no lo hacen aqui.
iCual es la razdn? iTodavia creemos que esta es la tierra
de abundancia y ninguno de esos esfuerzos son necesaries?
Seguramente que no habra equivocos de ahora en adelante si
proyectamos nuevas cosas para el Ano Nuevo.
Proyectemos tener bastante silage para todo nuestro ga-
nado para todo el ano, no solamente para las vacas sino para
los becerros tambien.
Yo creo que 2 a 3 acres son suficiente para vacas qufe
dan leche ylo mas para becerros. Uno o dos toneles de pas-
tura seca se ha de proveer para cada vaca en la lecheria y a
los becerros en proporcion.
Si todo eso se siembra es mas que suficiente. Nada se
pierde porque el silage se conserva por muchos anos y es muy
buenft practica tener adelantada pastura para otro ano si la
lecheria es mas que existencia de la mano a la boca. Asi es que
debemos sembrar en la primera oportunidad esta primavera,
y no esperar hasta que se plante y se coseche alguna otra
cosecha, porque algunas veces las cosechas tardias no se dan
bien por el mucho calor o el tiempo seco.
Foraje adecuado es escencial para la economia de las
lecherias. Las lecherias adelantadas son generalmente el re-
sultado de un buen proyecto para el futuro.

With no fatherly hand to guide us
As you so used to do.
Dear Daddy, our hearts are break-

How can we live without you?
Life will be sad and dreary.
In this cruel world of care
When we t..o have finished we'll
meet you.

A last farewell, dear Dad<ly

Our hearts are crushed with sor-

brewing for several months. All the
talk is that Mrs. Ferguson proba-
bly will run. but one or two other
known candidates for Governor
have been flirting with Old Jim to
get the Ferguson support. It is re-
grctably apparent that Texas is in
for another ordeal and we had Just
as well Bet ready for it
The Ferguson platform is typi-
cal of his audacity. It has about
57 varieties of promises, one to ap-
peal to every class of voters. He Is
going to economize twenty million
he never made an effort during
the two terms he served as Gov-
ernor himself and the two terms
he served as proxq Governor to
abolish any boards or commissions.
On the contrary he caused many
to be created by the Legislature.
His real belief Is that all depart-
ments of government ought to i»e
abolished In favor of one useless
d°partment—himself.

cigarette, liquor and other taxes
now going into that fund. He says
he will use these taxes to atollsh
the State ad valorem taxes. That
would relieve from taxation the
forcement of the states anti-trust
laws.
More than any other man, Loo-
ney has been in the thick of the
fight throughout the long history
of the biggest suit in the state’s
history. When James V. Allred,
then Attorney General, decided to
file the suit, he called in Looney,
his young assistant, and put him
in charge of preparing the case.
M' nths of tedious and secret work
preceded the filing of the case in
1931. and when it came to trial,
Looney was credited with knowing
more about the case than any
other man.
After the district Court ruled
against the state, the case was
carried to the Court of Civil Ap-
peals, and again Looney Was one
of the main prosecutors. He made
his arguments i>efore the Court and
was relied upon by the state as
the best-informed man in the case.
But again the state lost, and in
the meantime William McCraw
succeeded Allred as attorney-gen-
eral. When McCraw decided to ap-
peal the case to the Supreme
Court, he naturally turned to
