FARM TERRACING.
A New Feature in Improved AgricuI
ture for Brazos County.

tdiS W ~ c%Sc S~S'sJ'
Farm Demonstration A. w. Buchanan
informs The Eagle that he, in COM,
pany with Professor Pierce OF the A.
and M. College, went out this week
and terraced the farms of Mr.. j. +.
Gilpin, Mr.. ]. W. Henderson and Mr..
Jim Tobias. all of the Kurten COM
munity. This is the first scientific ter
racing that has ever been done in the
county, so far as The Eagle has been
informed; but we are sure that II 1t
had been adopted and practiced by
our farmers when they first settled
the county that the uplands of the
county would have been worth many
thousands of dollars more than they
are now. We doubt il 1t would not
run into a million or millions. While
the lands of our county are not so
billy as they are in some sections, yet
the land is of such a nature that the
soil is easily and rapidly washed away.
The men who first settled our lands
thought the straighter and longer they
could get their rows and the sleeper
the hill they could get them to run up
and down, the better farmers they
we're. They actually prided themselves
with their long, straight rows running
directly up and down every hill on
their farms until after few years the
appearance of clay on those hillsides
proved to them their system was not
correct.
The sons of these men thought to
profit by the error of their fathers, and
either changed the rows straight
across the hillsides or moved to new
fields altogether. While this method
proved somewhat better than the first,
yet their method has caused the hill
sides to wash full of bitches and small
gullies. And still it keeps raining and
the lands keep washing away. and the
farmers are waking up to the fact IL
they save the fertility and usefulness
OF their soils they must adopt a better
plan of taking care of and controlling
the water that falls on their fields.
The only plan left is the sensible
scientific terrace, and inasmuch as
the Government is furnishing this
work without cost to the farmers, The
Eagle feels sure that many will make
use of the opportunity of getting their
lands fixed so they can make them
better as the years go by. Any tune
Professor Pierce is not busy in other
sections of the State he will accom-
pany Mr.. Buchanan to any part of the
county and fix any farm whose owner
desires the work done. Anybody de-
string such work will notify Mr.. Buch-
anan

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

The lazy man finds it easier to say
than do.
Even crooked men may cast straight
votes.
Don't expect your ship to come in
when the tide is out.
Sooner or later crook is apt to find

In the spring a married man has to
fall for Easter bonnets.
In some cases money is the only
sugar that sweetens matrimony.
How patient a man can be with a
stupid woman-if she is pretty.

The strength Of a woman lies in
the proper display of her weakness.
It's simply impossible for anyone to
keep his happiness to himself
We never heard of a father being
worried because his son worked too
hard.
Many an apparently straight man is
crooked enough to hide behind cork
screw.
A married woman's description of
her ideal man isn't anything like the
one she got.
Your neighbors may know that you
have money, but what they may not
know is how you got it.
A woman would be more inclined
to gossip than ever if she had to wait
her turn in barber shop.

This years production is replete with

MODEL HIGH LOSES
TO KENMARE TEAM

The present trip Of the Model High
school basketball team is proving
rather disastrous. as both games play
ed so far have resulted in Victories for
TIER opponents. Saturday night they
were defeated at Kcnmare by a score
of 20 to 10, and the night before they
lost to Willow City by a 20 to II score.
Saturday nights contest was one Of
the hardest the local team has had
this year. and it came near proving a
victory for them. Both teams started
on with a rush, and kept up that style
OF play throughout the contest. The
game belonged to either team until
the last few minutes Of play, when the
kcnmare players nosed out a victory.
h Model High team played at a
handicap in being forced to compete
on a floor. much smaller than the To-
cal gym.
The local players spent Yesterday at
Mirot, and left this morning for La
kota, where tonight they play the
high school team of that place.
