Janitor Cavanaugh of the White
water high school building saves the
waste paper that accumulates during
the school year and every spring has a
ton of it to dispose of to the highest
bidder, from whom he generally gets a
five dollar bill. The paper is baled by
Cavanaugh in the school building cellar;
each bale weighs about 100 pounds. The
idea of baling the paper was followed
up not so much for the money the pa
per would bring, but as the most con-
venient and cleanest way of disposing
of it. 1t has proved an excellent idea
and one the originator says he would
follow even if he had to pay to have the
paper bales hauled away.

Nicholas Uren of Waldwick, one of
the pioneers Of this country, drove to
this city Monday for visit with old
time friends. He settled on what is
now known as the Dennis Cavanaugh
farm in 1855 and lived there until 1865,
when he moved to Waldwick, where he
resided continuously with the exception
of fifteen years spent in Mineral Point.
When he first came to Blanchardville
there were only a few cabins scattered
around and the place could hardly be
called village. Blanchardvile Blade.

An exchange says chat the biggest
leak in the United States today is
caused by the wintering of farm ma
chinery An implement agent said
recently that if the farm machinery of
the country was kept under shelter
and properly cared for it would drive
hundreds Of manufacturing plants out
of business. Out west it has often
been argued that it is cheaper to let
the machinery 70 to rust and buy new
than r is to buy lumber to build q
cover for it, The leak certainly is a
big one, even in this section where
barn and shed room seems ample.

County Agricultural Statistics.

The county assessor, while as
sessing, is required to take an
account OF the crops raised last
wear, also the number of acres
set aside for the various crops OF
1908.
He, the assessor, will ask for
the number of acres devoted to
wheat, oats, corn, maize, etc, for
1907, also for the yield in bushels
or tons of forage, as the case
may be. He will also want the
acreage for this year.
The law requires the assessor
to obtain this information from
every citizen, so be ready with
the answers when he comes to
you.

the buildings are not painted
outside they should be.
Those districts which levy but
15c should at once petition the
commissioners court for an cleo
ton to raise it to 20c.

money, so does any good thing.

ing Denton county is conceded to
be one of the best counties of the
State.
For wheat, oats, corn, cotton
and fine arteSian water Denton
county has no superior.
But with all those advantages
for Denton county | will say
from my observations and expe-
riences which | have had in Ran
dali county in the past two years,
| would rather risk a crop here
than there.
In 1906, which was my first
year in this county, from the la
Dor of one man | had fed 173
head two and three year old
steers, s horses and s hogs; and
after feeding was over | sold $3.50
worth of feed, and then had -
tons of sorghum cane and millet
left over which | am feeding to
my steers this winter. | consid-
er this an ideal country for rails
ing hogs and poultry. And for
health the Plains can truly be
called one vast sanitarium.
Now in conclusion, | will say
to the readers of this paper, that
l sincerely believe that when this
country is well developed she
will be the garden spot of Texas.
j. L. MCREYNOLDS.
And here again is another let
ter from a Deaf Smith County
man, also Plains farmer, as
published in the Hereford Brand
of last week:
Ny former home was in the
black land district of Texas in
Dallas county. 1t was consid-
cred one of the best farming
parts of the state. My special
crops there were corn, oats and
wheat. came to Hereford six
years ago and have been farm
ING since. | take the same pains
cultivating my crops here as |
did there and | always make as
much to the acre on the average.
After the land has been broken
two years | have no trouble rails
ing as much corn to the acre
here as | did in Dallas County
From my last crop of corn, |
sold ten acres that weighed out
80 bushels per acre and forty
acres that weighed 10 bushels
per acre. [ have never raised
any corn here that made less
than % bushels per acre. | alsC
think from my experience here
in growing wheat that this cOun
try is well adapted to that crop
Last year my wheat which was
already jointed was frozen dowr
the last day of April, yet it sue
cored out and made S04 bushel;
from 90 acres. | consider il
should have made - or 30 bush
els per acre but for the lat'
/ freeze.

THE COUNTRY SCHOOLS.
Present Conditions and Needed I'M
prOvementS.

| have finished my round Of
visits to the public schools and
wish to make a few observations
as to their condition and suggest
some needed improvement.
| am happy to say that on an
average we have an efficient, hon
est and conscientious class of
teachers in the county who seem
to be doing the best they can un-
der the circumstances.
The children, too, are bright,
active and intelligent.
/ notice a marked upward ten
dency on the part of the teach
ers as to methods, more espe-
ciallv as to those who have had
the benefit of Normal training,
and | would urge upon all our
teachers the importance of at
tending our State Normal schools.
The salaries of the teachers
are reasonably remuneratlve-ln
fact there is more liberality in
using the funds in this respect
than in needed Improvements.
Not that the teachers are paid too
much-for they are nOt-but that
not enough attention is paid to
the school house and grounds.
| know that heretofore our funds
have been small and trustees and
patrons have been interested in
trying to get all the teaching
possible out of them.
But with uncomfortable hous-
es and particularly no apparatus
or convenienceS the money spent
for teaching is largely lost.
Then we have not done our
best in the way of raising funds.
Several districts in the county
levy less school taxes than the
law allows.
Several of the school houses
are a reproach to the districts, to
say nothing of inferior furniture,
small worthless stoves, black
boards, etc.
1t is surprising that children
leaving snug and comfortable
homes with papered walls, adorn-
ed with pictures, should be re-
pulsed by an unceiled and dilapl-
dated old building where they
spend the day shivering around
an old cracked Bachelor" stove
impatiently waiting to be releas-
ed to return to comfortable fire
sides. | do not call attention to
this so much to criticise present
conditions as to inspire an ambi'
ton to improve them. Let us
start crusade for better school
buildings. Let us cell every
school room and paint the cell
ing. Let us purchase a set OF
charts and globe, good large
stoves and plenty of blackboard
surface. Let us put in good
heavy doors and paint them, good
solid windows and screen then

Last Sunday evening the at
tention of the editor was attract
ed by a crowd which had congre-
gated on vacant lot near the old
postoffice building. Our curios-
ity impelled us to move over that
way to see what the excitement
was. On our arrival we discOv-
cred that some emigrants who
were passing through the coun-
try had stopped to feed their
team and take lunch, and while
one of the party was preparing
lunch another of the party was
engaged in currying the team.
| The man currying the team, we
discovered. was the cause OF all
the excitement. Some of the Iu-
/ liaites didn't seem to know what
he was doing, and those who dld
seemed indignant over the idea
that a stranger passing through
the country would dare set such
an example before the youths OF
our country. Tulia Standard.
