AN EXAMPLE OF “BLOOD
WILL TELL"
A survey nude lut winter »mon*

belt, all at whom dl(f*r*lfl*d with
litrooiork, pror«« that h*Kt*f brutt)-
log buuu hotter prU cs and mure
profit*.
Tilt* Purvey shows that farmer*
tutor purebred bull* reeetred 34 per
cm( more P*r head for cattle sold
on the market than farmers receiv-
ed who uaed wrula and grades.
The aurrey also showt that farm-
ere using purebred l>oara received
31.6 per cent more for hogs sold
on the market than wa« received
for hog* aired by grades. The in-
created per cent received for sheen
end lamb* amounted to 37.6 per cent.
In this auction of (»klah<ima. 5X.3
per cent of the farmer# owned
m purebred bulls and 35.19 per cent
* of those who do not own purebred
bulls were able to use their neigh-
bor's. Purebred boars and sows
were owned by 27 per cent of the
farmers In the survey.
Oklahoma Is coming forward rapid-
ly In the production and finishing
of steers, hoes and lumbs for the
market. The wheat farmers seem
to be taking the lead In diversifying
with livestock, and to their credit
they show an appreciation for pure-
bred foundation stock.—Farm A
Ranch.
No section of Past Texas la bet-
ter stilted for the raising of pure
bred beef cattle and dairy cattle
than Panola County. With It's
abundant pastures and land that on
account of a heavy rainfall, la ault-
ed for feed crop#, livestock should
be a profitable port of the agri-
cultural program. But, it has been
proven than to grow fewer and better
blooded anlmala la the safety flrat
way and alwaya shown a better per
cent of profit on the Investment
than a large number of scrub stock.

An article In “Past Texan" the
Past Texas Chamber of Commerce
official magarlne dpala extensively
with the nneatlon—'!» the Horae Be-
coming out-of-date on the Farm?"
The article wan written by Jack
Turner, Idveattwh- f racialist of the
Mlaaouri-Parlflc l.lnes and. rieptmea
the fact that sr. few good brood
mares are found In Fast Texas and
also he expresses himself us thor-
oughly convinced that F.ntt Texas
Is the real home of the hog and
better blooded h<»«rs should he rnls-
ed on every farm. He asks In hls
article this ques*lm: "What shall
we substitute lot the horse, the
mule and the brood mare on the
farm?” *' In times pnst there wns
a profit In raising mules nol hors-
cs |n Fast Texas, but due to the
areeplng tendency to grow all cot-
ton and buy everything elan need-
ed on the farm, even to canned
vegetables, milk i nd butler; the
borre, the tnn'’ and the brood mare
were also Included and excluded
from the program. However, we
sincerely believe that there will
again he a sufficient nmount of work
stock raised In this section end
thev will not he shipped In h«ra
from Colorado, Wyoming, and tdti-
er stales where horses nr* hr«d
to sell southern fnrmorll at a prof-
it.

A number of- people lln this aec-
tkm say that It Is cheaper to buy
feci with cotton money/ Ilian il Is
to grow H on their_l**fd. Now, we
have not been here very lpng and
are not pitting our Judgment against
those who really know. However,
back In the ropnty where we wore
reared, hundred* of farmers claimed
for several years there that It was
cheaper to grow all cotton and buy
feed But, Home of them began
to figure the time elemeut In their
A WOMAN IN IT
We always speak of "woman,"
As though II had a limit;
But there's not a bundre- dollar
gown.
There's not n bargs . store In

There's not a style from any sonree
There's not an action for divorce.
There's not a libel suit, of rourse -

program and saw that •h-»r* (he
gain Is made in growing feed tr-
stead of buying It, Is during the
early months of the year when
they would be "killing time," wait-
ing for the time to plant notion
and thought that It must he a mis-
take. The loss of time they were
suffering could be used in pit-hlng
and almost finishing a corn or oth-
er feed crop while they walled for
the time to plant cotton. Now I*
may lie different In Panola eourjy
due to some difference In seasons
and soil, but we believe that there
Is a better chance for profit If
farmers will try to plant a feed
crop every year and also take care
of their cotton acreage. We know
of many farmers In other sections
who say they will never make the
mistake of not at least trying ic
grow a feed crop every year, as well
as their cotton acreage. This yea*
so far, has proven a good year for
corn and other feed crops In so far
as ibe rainfall affects tha growth
of auoh crops and we are sorry
to say, there la a small acreage
planted to corn or any other feed.

The dedication of the new home

Colonel Ousley’e flrat conspicu-
ous public service outside the Jour-
nalistic field wae ns a member >f
the committee whose recommenda-
tions resulted In the city commis-
sion form of municipal government
being established In Galveston,
which was the forerunner of nil
such municipal government bodies
In the United States. The com-
mission form of city government
has come to be recognized as tho
beat form of municipal government,*
and aa a modification tha city mana-
ger plan has developed. It Is dis-
tinctively an American Invention,
nnd wns devised by the committee
on which Colonel Ousley served soon
after the Galveston storm of
Establishment of tho Federal nnd
Bank system resulted from lha stud-
ies and recommendations of anoth-
er commission on which ho served,
the American Commission, that In
11*18 mndo n study tit European
rural credit, particularly tin Gor-
man system, which wns tho basis
of all modern rurnl credit. If was
largely upon the findings of this
commission that Congress formulnt-
e dthe Federal Land Rnnl: Act.
which Is an adaption of (ho original
Gorman land bank net, with radical
changes.
As an ardent advocate of the
Smith-Lever Act, under which the
extension service of agricultural col-
leges was established, in co-opera-
tion with the United Stales Depart-
ment of Agriculture, Colonel Ous-
ley wns made director of the Ex-
tension Service of Texas A. Ac M

feet 1n 1f*M. From thl< position
he wns fallen to Washington dur-

Colonel Ousley’s next nervlee of
n public character wns In directing
the activities of the Nntlonnl Boll
Weevil Control Association, which
originated In n convcnton of South-
ern business men In N»«w Orleans
In 1933. This organization succeed-
ed in popularising nnd making avail-
able among furtnera the method* of
control developed by the United
Statea Departmet t of Agriculture
nnd the agrlrult iral colleger of lha

through hanks nnd merchanta.

"Years of Service
in
Model T Fords
Expenditure of few dollars may
enable you to get thousands of miles
from your old car
THE Model T Ford if ftill a great car. It led the motor
industry for twenty years and it is used today by more people
than any other automobile. More than eight million Model
T Fords are in active service in city, town and country, and
many of them can be driv n for two, three and live years and
even longer at very small up-keep expense.
The cost of Model T parts and of necessary labor it
unusually low because of established Ford policies.
New fenders, for instance, cost from #3.50 to #5 each,
with a labor charge of #1 to #2.50. Tuning up the motor
and replacing commutator case, brush and vibrator points
costs only #1, with a small charge for material. Brake shoes
can be installed and emergency brakes equalized for a labor
charge of only #1.25. A labor charge of #4 to #5 will cover
the overhauling of the front axle, rebushing springs and spring
perches, and straightening, aligning and adjusting wheels.
The labor charge for overhauling the average rear axle
runs from #5.75 to #7. Grinding valves and cleaning carbon
can be done for #3 to #4.
A set of four new pistons costs only #7. For a labor charge
of #20 to #25 you can have your motor and transmission
completely overhauled. Parts are extra.
All of these prices are approximate, of course, because the
cost of materials needed will depend on the condition of each
car. They show, however, the low cost of putting the Model
T Ford in shape for thousands of miles of additional service.
See the nearest Ford dealer, therefore, and have him
estimate on the cost of re-conditioning your Model T Ford.
He will tell you, in advance, exact!/ how much the complete
job will cost.

Detroit, Michigan
a group of bankera and buhlneaa
meu culled together by Nathan Ad-
ams of Dallas, Colonel Ousley was
commandeered to direct the activities
of tho organization. Tho particular
object of that uctlvlty wus to airosa
tho economic prlnclplo that iredit
extended on a cotton crop alone
Is not sore. This principle liavlnc
become well established In country
banking and credit merchandising,
after two und one-half years, the
association recently was dissolved.
Officers and directors of the East
Texas Chamber of Commerce foel
that these experiences make Colonel
Ousley eminently fitted for the work
that he will take up with the ri-
Ktonul commercial organization.
