Farmers Did Not Meet.

Noon today was the appointed time for the monthly session of the Dallas 'Agri- cultural Club, but when President Lewis Johnson made ready to call for order, he found that Ehere were too few members present to constitute a quorum and there will be no meeting until the first Thurs day in January, when the next regular seance Is scheduled to come off.
 Among the matters which would have come up for consideration is the boil weevil pest. which, according to some agricultural experts. is being dissemin- ated throughout the country in the oats exported from Texas for planting. The establishment of a quarantine against seeds said to contain the weevil or its egg has been proposed and upon its fea- sibility. President Johnson was especially desirous of a discussion. MT. Johnson said today that the best way to solve the problem was by paying no heed to It: that. in other words. farmers should save and not buy seed.

Big HOney Order.

Commissioner J. U. Harris, as
president of the National and Colo
RADIO State Bee-keepers association,
received an order yesterday from
eastern parties for from three to
FIVE car loads of extracted honey
As this honey is not produced here,
President Harris forwarded same
to California to have it filled by the
California association.
The fact that Mr.. Harris receiv-
ed this order is an indication that
it pays to secure for this section
every possible honor. Had we the
capacity to fill this order for honey
it can readily be seen what revenue
would flow into the county from
that source.
Mr.. Harris is tirelessly working
for the upbuilding OF strong asso-
citation in this state and eventually
when this county is able to produce
more honey, there will result more
profit to the public.
