the State. As the Rails Banner

things not waiting for thing
to turn which has made for
her a reputation, which will go
down the annals of history as
one the most progressive cities
of West Texas.
There is a great difference IN
towns, even in towns close to-
gether. In some, like Lubbock,
the merchants reach out after
trade and put hustle into their
methods. They advertise in the
best ways, they step lively and
they carry stocks that are equal
% a constantly growing demand.
In other towns, maybe m next
county. the merchants are pOky,
they clutch their dollars as If
they never expect to see any new
money, and they seem TO think
that carrying a card in the
local newspaper is advertising.
Constantly they complain Of the
growing aggression of the mail
order houses. of the cost Of
carrying on business and the
hopeleSsness, to them, OF the
whole commercial outlook. The
result is that the live town gath
ers in more than its geographical
share Of trade. and business at
the slow towns goes from bad 10
the worse ever. Soon city
property in the slack places fall
in value, stores are vacated, re-
sldents move away and the
community settles down to an
attenuated acrapS of burg
which supplies its nearest neigh
borS with whatever the nelghbors
have 10 have right chick. In
the nature OF things, this sort
of condition will always prevail.
1t is impossible for every town
TO be an advertising mart.
There must be some dead ones.
And the close observer can
nearly always tell which are de-
stined to die or live by studying
the character of the pioneer
business men. State Press.

THE NEW YEAR

What does It mean 10 you {.
What have yea a right to expect!
Have we spent the old year as
we should and do we really de-
serve a more prosperous year
during the present season just
entered into? The new Year IS
what we make it. We can make
it a good one for the town and
surrounding country if we will
try. If our resolutions have
been to cooperate in the up
building of the towns and we
have the proper determination
we can accomplish a great deal
that cannot be done single hand
ed. With very few exceptions,
if we should count them at all,
the New Year in West Texas
has dawned fair. 1t has opened
ND with one of the finest seasons
in the ground that has ever been
known in this section OF the
country at this time of the year.
This means that our farmers will
have a chance to get their lands
in the best state of cultivation.
Ii opens up with the ground froz-
en- several inches deep, which
is something new for this country
this will clear the soil Of many
injurious insects, which often
PLAYS havoc with the crops. The
new Year dawns fair 10 the
ranchman. His cattle in South
Plains are in fine condition, and
the range covered with good
grass and prospects for the
whole herd going through the
winter without any loss what
ever.
The fact that the new year
is campaign year in the state
need not hamper US. Texas
people thrive most eXcellently on
them. We are used 10 them,
and we should have learned to
not let them interfere with our
business 10 any great extend.
The very important fact con-
nected with TINS part of the pro-
gram being that IN Texas we
must produce a poll tax receipt
at the polls if we are allowed TO
exercise our right Of citizenship.
Have you secured yours yet?
Last year is history. Let as
turn over a new page. Let as
resolve TO keep the new page
more free from splotches than
the one just closed. Let us do all
we can 20 make others happy.
Let us see that the poor and
need is cared for and God s
richest blessings vii. ram upon
us. We wish YOU all prosperity.
end If you all stay in Lubbock.
you are very likely to have good
health.

LOOKING WESTWARD
The Farmers Of the East are Look
ing Toward West Texas Various
Reasons are Ascribed for il

An agricultural expert writing
from Washington devoted a long
article to the blackland region of
Texas. He describes that region
as a highly productive soil which
has gone up in value within a
few years from very low price
to $50 and $500 an acre. He
cites however that the soil is in
tested with some sort of a dl-
sease not yet fully understood
which operates against crops,
especially cotton and legumes.
Another difficulty there is the
spread presence OF inSectpests
which every year make inroads
on the crops.
These conditions have been in
creasing in maIignlty until farm
ers there have begun 10 inyesu-
gate other farming opportunities
and whenever they have calmly
looked into conditions i'm West
Texas they have become conyinc-
ed that the man in search Of pro
htable farming condition should
20 west. -
There are reasons many o..
them, more than have been
mentioned IN the article above
that are causing the farmers OF
the east 10 look toward the west
for the solution of the agricul-
tural question. They want 10 get
homes for their boys, and they
want 10 get them located IN a
good country. where the condl-
tons are more congengial. where
the climate - more healthy and II
is easier 10 farm here than in a
great many other places. People
who know the various parts Of
Texas as well as having farmed
in many other confess that this is
a easier country 10 farm in than
any other.
