Judge Gougn Speaks 10 Teachers,

On Tuesday afternoon Judge
/ l.. Cough of Hereford delivered
an address before the teachers
institute, his subject being ''Ag-
riculture as taught in Public
Schools. - His theme was ably
discussed and presented in an
| interesting, thoughtful and in
teligent manner. While the rep
resentative of the News failed to
hear all of the address. but the
statements of Mr.. Cough CON
corning the possibilities of Pan
handle soils are true in every re-
spect as has been shown in some
community of practically every
county in Texas where may US
nally be found a few farmers
whose time and attention have
been devoted TO a study of soil
conditions. seed selection. Scien-
titic cultivation and other fun
damental requirements of inten-
Sive farming.
These experiments have shown
conclusively. as has been attest
ed by reports appearing in Ag-
ricultnral college bulletins from
time to time. that intensive farm
ing methods will increase the
production Of practically every
Texas crop to almost if not quite
double its present standard.
Such progress as is being
made in the state Of Texas and
other near by states is, as is gen
orally known. matter of but a
few years. Heretofore extensive
farming has necessitated eX-
pense accounts Of such magni-
tude that profit, except during
years of extremely favorable
seasons. has been practically
impossible. The farmer of this
section of the state has attempt
ed the cultivation of immense
acreage to the detriment of the
soil.
However, the movement to-
ward greater diversity Of crops
has gradually led up to the light
Of day. AID the ranch and plan
tation are now giving away in
every portion of the State to the
small farm which is yielding,
under better cultivation and
diversity Of crops, greater tinan-
cial returns.
