The PLAY UNCLE Josh
Presented by Local Talent Under
Auspices Of Lubbock Band
Great Success.

Ii is the general verdict OF
those who attended the home
talent play entitled Uncle
JOSH which was presented at
the Opera House last Friday
evening. that it was well pre-
sented. and the Lubbock Band
upheld its reputation for giving
the public first class entertain
ment. The characters were well
fitted and this is largely due to
the expert judgment of Mr.. z.
ID. Agnew. VINO is a charter
member of the Lubbock band of
several years ago. and who still
holds out faithful.
The Lubbock Band is a credit
to our city. and that the people
Of Lubbock appreciate it is very
evident from the attendance
present on this occasion. The
gross receipts were something
over a hundred dollars. which
was fully up to the expectations
of those in charge of the affair.

future. Some are renters who
are tired Of giving away each
season a portion of their earn
ings for the privilege of living
on the other fellows premises.
They are turning their attention
to the fertile prairies Of the
South Plains. They want a
home. Some Of them in fact
the majority are men Of limited
means they are not able to
buy large tracts Of land and
would have no use for such any
way. They want enough for a
home and a farm. They want
it in shape that they can make
a living for their families and
pay out their land too. In order
that this be brought within their
reach the man with his thous-
ands of acres of raw land must
Jar loose" from some of il.
He must cut his large holdings
up and place il on the market in
quantities that is suited to the
needs of the farming class of
people. Quantities is not only
to be considered either there
must be some reason affixed to
price and terms on which these
farms are to be sold and they
should be most liberal. Induce
ments good and strong should
be held out to the man with the
farming implements.
The first payment shoul9 be
very small and the remaining
payments very easy SO that the
new conner can nave an OPP
)ortunity 10 get a toe hold in
he country After that is ac-
,omplished the rest is easy.

Farming in the Lubbock country
is said to be an easy proposition
and one year with another the
success Of the farmer here is
ahead of the farmer of east
Texas and Oklahoma. We ad-
NIT that the west has its dry
years, its fat years and its lean
wears but on an average there
are more of the former. Many
Of our farmers have made more
clear money than than those
of Central and East Texas. while
some have made very light crops
but this happens anywhere in
Texas.
We hope that the large land
holders will sell to the small
farmer who wishes il for home
on extremely liberal terms and
conservative price and will hold
out every inducement to them
to locate in our country. The man
who has a large ranch might
make it profitable to him and
a number of others to put good
tenants on their farms work
the soil thoroughly and cause it
to produce more abundantly.
We have many natural advan-
tages here over many places in
other parts of the state and
when the small farmer gets
here we will have an ideal
country. He IS necessary to the
development of the great South
Plains country and without him
we cannot prosper and we can
not make the old South Plains
bring forth her abundant weld
as she should and will under
cultivation. Help in
every way possible to settle the
country with good farmers they
are the strong arm Of any COM
Without them we fail.

PUMP BRINGS LARGE VOLUME Of WATER TO SURFACE
Big Acreage Will Be Put Under Irrigation Next Year And The Great
ness Of The South Plains Under irrigation will
Be Shown the Mcmillan Farm

simply oceans of water and the
pump used in this well seems to
do the work admirably.
We understand that il is the
intention Of Mr.. Mcmillan TO put
large acreage under irrigation
next year and a large variety Of
crops will be planted. II will be
a kind Of an experimental farm
and II will be worth a great deal
to this section Of the Plains. II
has never been a question in the
minds Of the people who know
the South Plains as 20 whether
there Is sufficient water for any
thing one could want it for. but
the main trouble seems 10 have
been getting the water on the
crops as il should be 20 obtai In
the best results.
People who came here to see
our wells and inspect our irriga-
ton possibilities do not want TO
take our word for il; they want
20 see the water actually being
brought to the surface and prop
erly applied to the crops and see
results that will prove 10 them
all we claim and more too. When
that is done il will be no trouble
to sell land and get a good price
for il for irrigation purposes.
We are pleased TO know that
Mr.. McMillan's efforts are cul-
in such great success
and expect 10 be able to report
some record breaking crop yields
under irrigation next year. Mr..
Mcmillan has a fine tract Of land
and with water on the crops at
the proper time the yield cannot
De correctly estimated il will
simply be immense.
