Tv, a ;
‘ Dates for Cuero’s 1936 Tur-
key Trot are to be set this
week. It’s not a bit too early
to start working on plans for
the 1936 celebration. There is
much to be done and the
more we -do while we have
plenty of time the less wc’il
have to do when those last
few crowded days roll around.
Visitors to Cuero invariably
ask about the Trot. They want
to know the dates. They want
to know whether or not Cuero
is, going to stage a “real” one
next. year. We feel certain
• • that the 1936 Trot will be the
biggest ever J staged here.
Certainly, with thousands up-
on thousands of Centennial
visitors crowding the Lone
Star state, it will be the big-
gest attraction as far as a
crowd is concerned, that
Cuero has ever staged.

Farmed we re being warned
Thursday against selling their
produce to truckers traveling
through the country unless
they personally know the
. ’ truckman. One DeWitt county
farmer was reported to have
sold 1800 pounds of pecans to
. an “out of town” buyer during
the past week, and. according
to the farmer, he held only a
worthless check today for his
produce. Farmers have been
“typed” on numerous occa-
sions during the turkey buy-
ing season by buyers who
i "traveled through the country
. -spreading worthless checks.
The best idea would be to
trade with the' home ; town
? . buyer. He has established a
reputation and can be de-
pended upon. ‘ .«

CROP SHORT

Crop Down One-third in
Some Sections Statis-
tician Reports.
w*
Thanksgiving day approaching
with a short turkey crop in sight,
G. D. Clark, agricultural statis-
tican for the Bureau of Agricultur-
}al Economics declared in a state-
ment regarding the 1935 crop
Thursday. . .* i
“The number of turkeys in the
country decreased sharply since
last year.” Clark said. ‘The short-
age to supplies this year appears
to be most acute in the important
producing states of Texas and
North Dakota, in which states
j numbers are reported down more
i than one-third.”
Greatest decrease is in farm
flocks as distinguished frotn com-
mercial flocks. Definite figures
are lacking. The
seems to be in for most difficulty
in getting his Thanksgiving bird.
Hotels and restaurants will' find
heavier turkeys this year.
