Thanksgiving

This issue of the Avalanche
comes to VOC on Thanksgiving.
1t is "a large paper and is filed
with ads and other good things.
The management is thankful for
the many acts Of friendship eX-
tended by the people and they
have done all in their power TO
live up to every obligation.
Thanksgiving is a beautiful
day and it is a sacred time with
every heart that pulsates in
sympathy with the higher order
of life.
This paper stands square with
the world on all questions. for the
common good and it is with a
thankful heart that the achieve
ments of the past year have
been made possible through the
cooperation Of its friends.
The duties Of the weekly paper
are sacred. II is the messenger
that comes to your home each
week and it should be a true in
dex of conditions and a guide
to better things.
The publishers of a weekly
paper fall short of their duty if
they do not fully realize their
relationship To the community at
large and the profession is not
advanced by the labors Of such
men.
The publishing Of a weekly
paper is a pleasure where II
goes hand in hand with those
whom il strives 10 serve and the
Avalanche is proud Of the fact
that its friends are among the
best element Of the community.
il is an impossibility 10 please
all the people and those who
succeed in pleasing a majority
have done well.
II is the duty Of all TO work
for a greater Lubbock and Lub-
book country during the next
. year and you may depend that
the Avalanche will do its part.

JUDGE |. GAuGH Of AMARILLO--D DECEMBER THE 2NO
EVERYBODY in This Section Should Make Point to Come Out And
Hear Him-He viii Have Something Worth While
Don't Miss The Opportunity

One Of the burning needs Of
the hour IN this part Of the State
is farmers who know how 10
take advantage of the situation
and conduct the business on a
strictly scientific basis. That
some have realized this fact is
evidenced by the success of such
men as Judge J.. GauEh, of AM
auIlo lie has been induced 10

dress relative to his experience
and success IN the Plains country
from a farming point Of view.
Il viii be one Of the best op-
portUnities the people Of this
community have ever had Of
learning the ms and outs Of the
matter and it is hoped that all
win avail themselves Of the OPP
portunity. There is no question
about the future of this country.
The only thing that is causing
any delay Is occasi0ued from lack
of knowledge on the part of the
farmers as 10 what is best to
plant and when 10 plant it.

stretches of virgin soil TO be
found in this part Of the State

Shipping Out Against Shipping In
One drawback to newly de-
veloping country is found in the
fact that a great deal more has 10
be shipped in than is shipped out.
This gives no great amount of
money circulation at home and
often retards the growth of the
new section.
It is very essential To nave a
basis Of exchange and the sooner
the people Of the newly settled
sections get TO this feature Of the
proposition the sooner do we find
a healthy growth. In some sec
tions Of the Plains il is said that
the people have been developing
the country for years and yet
they DO not ship anything out.
This is rather discouraging to
people who realize the import
ance Of the exchange. They say.
well why. don't you ship lots of
stuff out Of this country, if it is
as good as YOU saw IL isp
Their question is not altogeth-
er without reason, either. The
farmers Of the plains country
will be the developers of the
Plains. We must look TO them
and if they can only be induced
to plant crops and raise some
thing for the outside markets il
will soon be an easy matter TO
induce others 10 come here and
IN up the idle places. Today
land is needed more badly than
IL was yesterday. Tomorrow it
viii be needed more badly than
il is today. The thing to do is
30 prove the assertion Of the
greatness Of this country by
raising and shipping TO the
markets Of the world such things
as the country is adapted to
raising. Once this is done we
will see the Plains blossom as
the rose and everything will be
smiling in the gladstone light Of
prosperity. Reverse the order
Of things. Ship ogt.

parties.

and considers the further fact
that il is of the best quality
then I'D doubts as TO the ulti-
mate greatness Of the Plains
vanishes.
One thing and one thing only,
.is essential. namely; the farm
ers who have been raised in the
black land belt of this State do
not know just how to take adj
vantage of the situation here.
It requires a different mode Of
cultivation and the fellow who
points the way will be one Of
the immortals.
Scientific farming consists Of
a variety Of experiments being
brought down to a logical basis.
The people of Lubbock viii have
an opportunity TO hear the
Judge on this question on Thurs
day. December the second and
they should all come.
Help the Lubbock country
grow by becoming capable Of
developing her farming territory.
The sooner this is accomplished
the sooner will we forge TO the
front as one of the substantial
sections Of the great State.
